‘Generation without hope’
(N.Z P.A.Reuter —Copyright> LONDON. The children of coloured immigrants in Britain are a generation without hope, according to a British Council of Churches report. Entitled “The Black Peasants of Britain,” the report focuses mainly on the problems of West Indians in Britain, but adds that Asian immigrants face similar problems. “Their parents came with hope, but the second generation blacks have none,” •‘he report says. “In their eyes, society offers only one place —the bottom of the heap. Sc they’ leave home, live on the streets, and take what they want from the society that has refused them a fully human place.” The Bishop of Liverpool (Dr David Sheppard) says ir an introduction to the report: “There needs to be a deep change of heart among white British Christians. We white British speak about the prob lems of black people in Britain. I wish we would try’ to notice, instead, the potentia’ they’ could bring to our society.”
