Given that the U.K. has in recent times experienced serious race-relations
problems culminating in the Oldham riots, this can only add to an already
tense situation.
I've also been reading many of the "Opinion" items published on the Irish
Times website since 911. They have articles from those on both sides of
"the fence". For those who are inclined, a browse through their archives
gives an interesting "external" perspective.
