Two mid-twenties Asian reporters a male and a female posing as a newly 'Moved in' couple on a housing estate in Bristol.
Fitted with hidden cameras they basically went for small walks individually around the estate, ie to the shops & back.

Every kid/Adult they ran into on every occasion verbally and pysically abused them.
One particular eleven year old threatened to kill them, stab them & shoot them and demanded the womans purse whilst insinuating he had a gun & knife & was about to use either.

The Asian fella was verbally abused, punched, ordered to walk on the road & not the pavement & the woman had bricks, stones, water bombs and cans of coke thrown at her.

The levels of violence directed towards them were frankly disgusting & I watched most of this in disbelief.

Most of it from Kids aged nine and upwards & all caught on camera.

You sure they're fireworks??

Although there's zero excuses for the levels of abuse & violence displayed you can't help but wonder if this is the widespread result of the frustrations of Labour's social diversity 'Experiment'

So they called them a few names, made a few threats?

As a teenager I lived in Liberia on the west coast of Africa and as a British white family living in that hell hole we suffered far worse I can tell you! And if we complained the Police and Army would simply respond with "If you dont like it, go somewhere else!"

I'm not sayng two wrongs make a right but just remember there are worse racists in this world than the British, and far more evil places to live! At least we havent got 10 year olds with AK47's and RPG's abusing minorities in this country!

i hate these sort of programs, they aim to make a truely one sided story, we watch in horror and believe where all the same, if they made a program about things the other way round do you think a white couple in their country would feel safe or be treated well?

they use these programs to shock and get views and yes i know theirs alot of scum in our world but theirs also a lot of good which sadly dont get filmed as they dont make for good watching

:(I only saw a brief part of that on the internet but I think it's fair to say that this government has been responsible for the biggest social decline in our history. This has resulted in far too many of the sort of people seen in that programme. Whilst the name calling is obviously a direct result of their race, let's not kid ourselves that it would have made a difference had they been white and new to the area. They probably would have received a similar welcome but with the abuse relating to other factors.
While you have a system that rewards the work shy and fails to provide any meaningful form of deterent for such behaviour things will only get worse. How people used to sit and laugh at Harry Enfield and 'The Slobs', Wayne & Waynetta little realising how prophetic it was. This downward spiral, that this government seems to want to do little to arrest, will only see an increase in the number of these undisciplined, disrespectful & increasingly violent people.
With their human rights well and truly protected by by laws they otherwise take no notice of and fear of reprisal stopping people reporting it, this sort of behaviour is becoming endemic.:(
