Well, there is usually some sort of pattern that follows with the a fairly large proportion of people, its may be steryotypically but those steryotypes had to start somewhere.

Given how long people live, it can still be a coincidence.  Stereotypes often come and go faster than people.  The ones that stay are horribly inaccurate, more so than most stereotypes.

Like the whole "Black people like chicken and kool-aid" thing.  Last time I checked, just about everyone liked chicken and kool-aid.  That's like saying "Haha, Jews breathe all the time"

It's somewhat different here, on the northern part of the continent. Mostly because we didn't violently rebel. The impression of Britain here (in my local area) is either positive or indifferent. The only negative outlook would come from the Monarchy debate. (I am pro, there are others who are against.)

A bit late i know.
Damn I hate UK sometimes. We can't even get our act together for a single day to unite as one country to stamp our name all over the EU. Nope, we go and vote in TWO, yes TWO, BNP MEP's. I was acctually shocked to my core when i heard of this news. Damned northern England and their mass racism! DAMN THEM ALL!


(Just for your note, the BNP party are basically neo-nazi's under a different name. For example, one of their party rules is that no black person can be a member or a directly connected to them in any way.)

So, UK people how did the voting go for you? And honestly, what does Britain looked like to the outside world?

Well, it looks like that racism is "rising" in Europe. Jobbik is a radical right wing party here, in Hungary, and they will send 3 people to the European Parliament. You can read more about this here, if you are interested:

http://www.worthynews.com/5820-breaking-news-hungarys-far-right-party-enters-european-parliament

"Hungary's main far-right party, accused by rights groups of spreading anti-Semitic views and hatred towards the country's up to 800,000 Gypsies, known as Roma, has received three seats in the European Parliament, official results showed.

The far-right Movement for a Better Hungary (Jobbik) got over 15 percent of the ballots, much better than expected.
Jobbik's primary European candidate, Kisztina Morvai, said she wanted to be the candidate for Hungarians. Morvai, a former human rights lawyer, stressed she would partner with euroskeptics and defend Hungary's sovereignty by fighting against the Lisbon Treaty, the European Union's reform agreement.
At home, her party wants to tackle "Gypsy crime", re-introduce the death penalty and set up "gendarmes" in rural areas of the country. At the same time, Morvai pledged to fight against the "terror of multinational companies and multinational capital."

Jobbik has also signed an agreement with a radical group within Hungary's police force, 'The Trade Union of Hungarian Police Prepared for Action' (TMRSZ), which has anti-Jewish and anti-Roma views in publications.
At least one of its affiliated writers has even asserted that "anti-Semitism is the duty of every Hungarian homeland lover" and that "Hungary must prepare for armed battle against the Jews" as well as "a Hungarian-Gypsy civil war...triggered by Jews."
