One third of Britons 'admit being racially prejudiced'
Wow!!! Nearly a third of people in Britain admit being racially prejudiced, research has suggested.
Social research organisation NatCen said the proportion had increased since the start of the century, returning to the level of 30 years ago.
Its British Social Attitudes survey found 30% of more than 2,000 people polled described themselves as either "very" or "a little" race prejudiced.

Wife set to hang for marrying Christian U.S. citizen gives birth to baby girl in squalid jail
Remember this story? Meriam Ibrahim gave birth five days early after months shackled to floor. She has spent the past four months shackled to the floor in a disease-ridden jail.
The baby was born in the hospital wing at Omdurman Federal Women’s Prison in North Khartoum and is said to be healthy.
Meriam, 27, was sentenced to death by hanging earlier this month after being found guilty of converting from Islam to Christianity and marrying a Christian man, U.S. citizen Daniel Wani, who lives in Manchester, New Hampshire.
She will receive 100 lashes before she is executed - sometime in the next two years.
Before the birth, Meriam made the defiant claim that she would rather die than give up her faith.
I think it is time we all begin to raise awareness anyway/how we can on this situation. We want the relevant organisations, countries, lawyers, campaigners, anyone who can help free this woman and her kids to see this and rise up and help. Let us not keep quiet and let this woman die.

Death sentence handed to a woman in Sudan
I got a message today to say a prayer for this woman. Her story is so sad. If you believe in the power of prayers, please do say a prayer for her and her kids.
Mariam Yaha Ibrahim was born to a Muslim father but raised by her Christian mother.
She grew up a Christian, fell in love with a Christian and married a Christian man called Daniel Wani.
Sudanese law is based in Sharia and the courts state Mariam is a Muslim. A judge has therefore drawn two conclusions.
Firstly, she must renounce her Christian beliefs and if she does not she must die.
Secondly, after recovering from the imminent birth of her second child, she should be whipped 100 times.
Her due date is June 1 and she is currently in prison with her son Martin.
The death sentence will be deferred for two years to allow her to nurse the new born child.
Her punishment by whipping stems from the judge insisting she is a Muslim, her marriage was invalid because her husband is a Christian and she therefore had sex outside of wedlock.

Chester Zoo
I had an amazing time at Chester Zoo. I enjoyed it as much as I did the last time I visited there some years ago. If you ever have time and are visiting Chester, do take some time and visit the zoo. It is so wonderful to see the numerous animals.
