We're discussing...
Is Britain the most tolerant country on Earth?
Nearly 88,000 racist incidents were recorded in Britain's schools between 2007 and 2011.
No-one would claim racism is right, but are we really that bad when compared with the rest of the world?
We don't ban people from wearing burkas, but in France the full veil is outlawed. You can open a gay bar in the UK, but homosexuality is illegal in around 50 countries. Could you open a Christian church in Saudi Arabia?
Are we beating ourselves up when actually we are more inclusive than most other places in the world? Let Nicky know what you think

Your Call, 24/05/2011
The General Medical Council gave a GP a written warning for suggesting to a patient that Christianity could help cure him.

Are some rapes more serious than others?
Your Call, 19/05/2011
That's what Ken Clarke initially seemed to suggest on Victoria's programme yesterday.
Since then the Justice Secretary has apologised for perhaps giving the wrong impression. He now says he's always believed that all rape is extremely serious.
What's the point of Brits learning foreign languages?
Your Call, 09/05/2011

Do the Lib Dems deserve their bad election results?
Your Call, 06/05/2011
It's been a bad night for Nick Clegg.
The results are still coming in but it's clear that the Liberal Democrats have suffered significant losses in the elections.
Have they been asking for it? Or do you think they're just the fall guys for unpopular coalition policies?

I spoke to an elderly Indian man at work who moved here in 1950. I asked him why he moved here and he said that the British had left and he wanted to live under British rule. He was an Indian Muslim and preferred the safety of Britain, the lack of corruption rather than staying on the sub continent

We used to have closet homosexuals, now we have closet homophobes. Some people don't think that is necessarily an improvement. Jo.

It's not on and the mainstream press seem to be promoting divisions. Being less worse than other places doesn't make us inclusive. If resources were shared fairly maybe we'd stop resenting and blaming each other and just get on with our lives - together. It's almost like we seek things to be intolerant of. I don't always like the music my neighbour plays but it makes me happy that they enjoy it. Sheryl Odlum.

I am english and lived in scotland for 12 years, my children were born there. - was both shocked and puzzled to find that I was never accepted and frequently subject to anti english remarks and very unfriendly treatment on a daily basis at work and outside. We should all look to ourselves and question our own tolerance of others differences and how we embrace diversity. Sarah
09:40
Yes we do TOLERATE difference. But we do not CELEBRATE difference. Ian, Bradford

Hi. The scotish person was talking rubbish. I went to see scotland v lithuania at hampden park. i was supporting lithuania and went into a pub with my lithuanian shirt on. At first was ok until found out i was english then the whole pub started abusing me and my wife. then a chap came in a turkish shirt and was right in my face. he was scottish but was that anti english he bought a turkey shirt. since then i have no time for the scots. pete in lincoln

I don't give excuses for racism. That would be rather shooting myself in the foot as a black man. However, the law cannot regulate people's thoughts. We have guilt policies made by a liberal but cynical political middle class who will never know the consequences of their "inclusive" legislation. The people who live in these other communities dealing with ethnic the influx of other nationalities, naturally would react and possibly be a little resentful. This resentment, shamefully, has been passed on to the kids. They are only saying what is ok to say at home.Rayon RayRae Campbell.

I'm an Englishman living in Wales but your caller is correct. The welsh language is being foisted on us for political reasons and is being used as a tool to marginalise non welsh speakers. I may only be on the fringe of Wales but it is becoming rife here. The anti English sentiment seems to be growing over time, not receding. Jim. Chepstow.
09:17
@bbc5live I am welsh, i went into a business meeting, and it was said "oh your welsh are you, explains everything"... pure Racism.
09:17
The point about Welsh racism to the English is a good one. Try working in a shop in Carmarthen with an Enlish accent as I have!
09:16
.@NickyAACampbell asks 'is the UK the best country to be gay?'. No, it's not. We still don't allow same-sex marriage. Crazy. @BBC5Live
09:15
Yes this country is tolerant. But let's be honest, we've tried to help all these minority groups out so much that we forget about the real British people and real British ethics. You get racism from people fed up of not receiving the help they need. From Adam the British born Muslim
09:14
Hi as an asian muslim female i agree thr r great characterirtics this country has as i generally feel safe to b who ì am.

France recently has been in the news for not tolerating anti- Semitic behaviour. For example... John Galliano. We are not the only country. From Ben in Canterbury.
09:13
Can we get the terminology right. It's sectarianism not racism. Richard in Troon
09:13
Guess what nicki I was fat and white at school bullied shouted at and ridiculed
No one protected me I just got on with it and became a stronger person for it Lynn st Ives

This is more related to muslim abuse. My parents came to england in the 50s from ireland. In the late 60s and early 70s they, and we children, suffered some abuse from people resulting from the irish troubles. The agressors has a right to be angry and frustrated and no matter how badly misdirected and unpleasant although I cannot condone it i can now understand it.

My daughter gets picked on and called Mary poppins. Her friend cos she has spots, another friend because she is ginger. It's school which is the problem. Racism in this instance is a red herring. Jo from Brighton

It's enforced tolerance really. It's under sufferance. The political like it for different reasons. Tories like foreigners for cheap labour. Labour like it for their ludicrous "we're the family of man" mentality. The public just have to put up with it. Kev, Cheltenham.

It depends where you live, I live in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, I wear full hijab and face veil. People here are very tolerant. They stare at me but don't give me any verbal abuse like I would get in some parts of London or other cities.

I was a supply teacher in Gtr Manch 00 - 06.
There is racist bullying. In one school with small nos of about 10 diffnt cultures(asian,e european,african,etc) they didnt mix. They spoke in their own language & often
called others in offensive terms.
There seemed to b a pecking order ,somalians being low.
