Nelson Mandela is to urge black leaders in Britain to do more to beat the gang culture gripping inner cities

Metro:

The former South African president will tell an audience of black businessmen, sports stars, celebrities and politicians they have a duty to act as role models for the young.

He will urge the group, which will also include financiers and journalists, to help underachievers in their own communities.

A signed message will be handed to every guest, reading: “It is important for you as leaders to harness those responsibilities and ensure that you also empower those around you who scale the mountains with you.”

Mr Mandela's words come amid growing fears over the alienation of young people in inner cities and concern they may drift into violent gangs because they see no alternative future.

Britain's black communities have been caught up in a debate over how much help they should expect from government and the police and how much they should do themselves.

His message will underline recent government-backed research that found young black teenagers need a new generation of role models.

He is in Britain for the unveiling tomorrow of a 9ft bronze statue in his honour in Parliament Square opposite the House of Commons.

Let's hope the black leaders listen to him.

Did he suggest less black immigration? That would seem reasonable. Blacks in the UK are also big-time academic failures. And as a German would say: dass kann nicht gut gehen.

The two previous writers have obviously not been to the top universities and other educational institutions in the United Kingdom to see the range of diversity of the students and lecturers, truly representing and celebrating all citizens of our great country.

They also miss the point of the signifant economic, social and civic contribution new communities have been making to this country over many generations to the present day.

If diversity is so vital for world 'harmony', why don't we see brave, white liberals immigrating to African, Hispanic and Asian nations by the boat loads?

Show us how it's done! Take along your entire families!

قد يكون السبب اقتناء الحيوانات المنزلية مثل القطط والكلاب في ظهور حشرة البراغيث والتي تقطن داخل شعر تلك الحيوانات، فهي تنتقل من الحيوان للإنسان وتقوم بلدغة ومص الدم منة، ثم الرجوع لجسد الحيوان مرة ثانية، أو القفز السريع والاستقرار داخل الملابس أو بين وبر السجاد والمفروشات فهذه الحشرة تفض العيش في البيئة الدافئة والحارة.
