Bullied, attacked and racially-abused more than fifty times in eight weeks. That's the experience of two British Asian reporters posing as a couple and living undercover on a housing estate in Britain during summer 2009.
In a shocking insight into race hate and anti-social behaviour in our neighbourhoods, Tamanna Rahman was pelted with glass and stones and threatened with a brick during an attempted mugging by an 11-year-old boy. Her "husband," Amil Khan, was punched in the head. Yet the head of the government's equality watchdog has said that having a neighbour of a different ethnic background isn't an issue any more.
Panorama investigates the truth about racism and anti-social behaviour in Britain today.

The BBC doing another anti BNP skit.
The BBC is the Labour parties propaganda wing.
I got rid of my TV 20 years ago because of the BBC and from day one I never missed it.
The Labour party allows the BBC to maintain their stranglehold on the millions of pounds raked in by the TV licence fee.
The Labour party are shit scared of the BNP, when they should be more scared of their own rank and file. This is what is going to sink the party into the primordial slime of history in June 2010.
The BBC will have a tougher job them hanging onto their funding.
Personally I will be glad to see the back of both of them.
I wonder if you would get the same sort of footage if these people weren't wearing obvious religious symbols.
There is obvious racism in the video (like the poor Indian guy that was attacked) but I think a lot of this behavior is the result of growing fear in the UK for the Islamisation of the country and the rise in terrorism and immigrant violence that are seen so regularly. People feel powerless to stop the change in their country and the perceived destruction of their way of life and they lash out. Sometimes that fear and anger are misdirected into racism, when the real problem and root of the anger is the Islamic ideology and its spread.
I see many people that unfortunately conflate the Islam with race, both the racist and the anti-racist groups do this. Islam is not a race, it is an ideology. It is legitimate to say that Islam is incompatible with Western society and to resent its spread, but don't let that spill into blind racism.
Islam and its place in Western countries needs to be opened for debate, but do not make the mistake of bringing in racial issues that have no real bearing on the problem and only serve to undermine the legitimacy of the debate.

Yeah, you just can't be sure about the headlines here on LL anymore, but there's still one thing left we can assume without any doubt: Every muslim is a terrorist, every single one of them! Help, we're all gonna die!
what people dont understand is that the scum in this video would do it to anyone, it just so happens to be that they are asian so they have easy names to call them.
There are estates like this all over the UK and if ur not from there u will get shite, it doesn't matter about the colour of your skin.
