    I'm sure the French/Dutch/German/Polish/Spanish etc far right all use their national flag heavily in 'literature', just like the EDL do when they're out with their 'Sport are troops' banners.

    Not especially.

    Vlaams Belang's logo is based on the Flemish flag and they are pretty much a Flemish parallel of the BNP.

    That the lot with the black claws and tongue rather than red?

    To be fair, that's a bit of a freakin misnomer where London is concerned.

    Not so.
    Using Wikipedia (so it must be true):

    About a quarter of a million Londoners are of Jamaican heritage, out of a population of between 7 and 8 million, so "ethnic minority" is perfectly valid.

    The spelling on that site is awful, I only spotted a few correctly spelt words.
    Its like they weren't even trying to write proper English and I couldn't read it.

    I'll be honest; that's surprised me.

    When I walk down the street in London I wouldn't imagine such a heavily weighted pie-chart.

    Wait a minute, how is "London" defined in this sample?

    You're obviously not going for walks through South Ken.

    No idea, but I think its fair to assume that the bigger London is the whiter it will be. So if the M25 is the boundary there will be more whites than if the North Circular & South Circular Roads are the boundaries.

    Regarding Jamaica, Jamaicans and people of Jamaican heritage: Jamaica punches way above its weight in terms of music and culture so are much more visible/noticable than an equal number of less noticable people (East Asians for example).

    I don't see how what music a country creates makes them more visible walking down the street which is what the question was.
