This is a question The B3TA Detective Agency

Universalpsykopath tugs our coat and says: Tell us about your feats of deduction and the little mysteries you've solved. Alternatively, tell us about the simple, everyday things that mystified you for far too long.

I can believe the first bit, but I'd gladly bet you're making the rest of it up.
There's no excuse for endorsing far-right paramilitary groups, even if you didn't do well in the lottery of life. It's pure stupidity, arrogance and animal instinct.

You can beleive what you want.
Do you live in Bradford? If you do I'm very surprised you've not heard about the casual racism against whites in certain areas and the, admittedly fairly rare, violence.
I am in no way suggesting that the BNP should ever be voted for -- I am merely pointing out that for some people it looks like a good idea.
Edit: The "blackboard" thing is true, apparently asking for your coffee "black" is frowned upon also.

I work in south-east Bradford and live just outside.

Where do you live then chief?
I live in BD2, and I'm white, and I walk through BD3 on a regular basis and here I am all alive and stuff.

I'm a Leodian,
I'm also not suggesting that Bradford is some kind of race war (well, not this week [sorry bad joke]).
I have, however, heard a few stories about anti-white racism and know that it only takes a few instances to make a generalisation.

Don't generalise then
This isn't a happy city, but you're ascribing the unhappiness to the wrong demographic.

Not my generalisation.
I was (am) trying to explain why some people may think the Daily Fail has it right.

This is a massively failed city
I referred to Detroit earlier and Bradford has become our Detroit.

I think we have to accept that we're now in post-post industrialism. There is nothing here at all.

There may be other local economies in a similar blighted wasteland but all there is now is a void that BD3 and BD9 fight over.

How do you pull yourself out of it? Well, Croydon did. You accept that Bradford is a subservient economy to Leeds and focus on the only sustainable local economy to drag yourself out of the morass.

"Edit: The "blackboard" thing is true, apparently asking for your coffee "black" is frowned upon also"
Proof, please: I can't find any reference to it other than as example of "political correctness gone mad!!!"
Learn from Theresa May's Catgate: Just because enough right-wing papers print a story it doesn't actually make it true.
