The only people I know who have been affected are my niece and nephew - new security guidelines mean that when they fly to Greece for their holiday (next week I think) they can't take any toys with them. I assume my sister called some sort of hotline to find this out.

An interesting programme on Channel 4 this week suggested that British born Muslims are more at odds with the British way of life than their immigrant parents or grandparents. It was suggested that immigrants came to this country to find a better way of life, and that their offspring, freed from the struggle simply to stay alive are able to study harder and take a more religious view of life. Leading (in some cases) to a rejection of the country they were born in and feel no loyalty to.

It's thought provoking at least, without being sensationalist.

This is the survey results (it's an Adobe document, don't know if that makes a difference)
