Beat this Boris! - Meet the British - BBC Four

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour
Semi-naked women, wurlitzers and prize goats are just a selection of items used by the British government to promote the country's image abroad.

For four decades, the government produced thousands of strange little films in order to sell an ideal Britain overseas and now, for the first time, they are shown to the country that inspired them.

oh ye england till the early 80's was very racist irish have always had bad blood with the english, and vise versa ofcourse, but when more and more immigrants arrive in london, many large riots took place, and minorities started to fight back etc etc, but london is very multi cultural now, and you will barely even witness an ounce of racism,
