Tokenism and quotas

It's a wonder that the EU is actually loved by some, though it would appear to be becoming a rather exclusive club mostly of politicians in the UK. Mostly they are hated because they meddle, they interfere in things they don't really understand and promote them from an agenda that's foreign to how the UK does things although the leftards seem to have adopted such an agenda wholesale... which ought to sound warning bells for anyone with any common sense.
Express.
A report outlining a quota scheme is set to go before MEPs and may soon be adopted by the European Parliament.
If it becomes law, all the political parties in the UK will have to impose female gypsy candidates on the electorate and get them into ­Parliament.
The scheme is also aimed at using quotas to force ­gypsy civil servants and councillors on the British public.
The revelations about the contents of European Parliament’s Empowerment Of Romani Women report provoked outrage yesterday.
The idea of forcing a candidate on the electorate is not of course foreign to the UK, Blair, Brown and Cameron have all used the power of their office to enforce all women shortlists on constituency parties after all.  So don't be too surprised in the future if all women, becomes, all muslim, all afro-Caribbean, all gypsy etc. There will be a choice of course, just a choice from one group and that's all the democracy we'll be allowed.
The problems might of course arise if the candidates are rejected by the electorate, one wonders what the EU will do then... nothing nice I suspect. Perhaps they'll insist on gypsy candidates representing all parties standing in a constituency... just to make it fair of course.
Then of course they'll wonder at just why their popularity is nosediving amongst the populace they purport to represent rule.
Politicians, particularly in the EU simply do not have a clue as to what ordinary people want.
Mostly it's for the EU to leave us the hell alone.

Discrimination

Discrimination is everywhere, it's essentially what people do. However when it comes to what the state offers, then discrimination is a problem as smokers are now finding out.
Mail.
Patients are being denied minor treatments because they smoke, The Mail on Sunday has found.
In one case a healthy middle-aged man was told he could not have a ten-minute operation to cut a small benign growth off the side of his head, because of his habit.
Paul Merrett thought it would be no problem to get the inch-long fatty lump, called a lipoma, removed.
But when he attended King George Surgery in Stevenage, his GP said he could not have the minor operation – which doctors often do under local anaesthetic in their own consulting rooms.
Mr Merrett, 46, said: ‘I was told, in no uncertain terms, that unless I gave up smoking or signed up to a quitting clinic they would refuse to treat me. I was gobsmacked.’
He claims the doctor told him: ‘These directions are not mine. It’s not me refusing this treatment, it’s the NHS trust.’
Mr Merrett, who smokes ten roll-ups a day, said: ‘It makes me livid. I can count how many times I have needed to rely on the NHS in the past ten years on one hand. I pay into the system and it’s my right to be able to use it when I need it.’
Now I don't smoke, never have, though it's never bothered me in the way that some people get het up  about it, there are far worse things out there than smoking after all. Still, if you pay into the NHS via your National Insurance ponzi scheme then you'd expect the same benefits to be available to all, not on a selective basis. That's not how the righteous see things of course, they only want healthy people to have access to the NHS... healthy meaning that no one is using it at all. They want lists and exclusions that fit their own particular prejudices and if they get away with one thing, then you can be damned sure that these lists will be expanded, you can see it in their current pogroms against smokers, drinkers, the obese (by their standards not the actual one) those who eat too much sugar, high in cholesterol, high blood pressure etc.
Not that they aren't prepared to take your money, just prevent you from using it as it was intended, rather like an insurance claim being rejected due to some small clause that you hadn't noticed, with the added insult to injury of not being able to opt out.
Mr Merrett is probably the first of many, he managed to get it overturned, but sooner or later it will be the norm and then they'll move to other targets until only the healthy have access to the NHS, basically those who don't need it...

It's almost as if he wants to lose...

David Cameron will probably be known as the man who lost an election some would have thought impossible to lose. He somehow managed to only get into power by forming a coalition with the idiot Lib Dems a party renowned for making up policy on the hoof in their door to door campaigns. Still despite being up against one of the most unpopular and uncharismatic Prime Ministers in living memory, Cameron through his imbecility in denying the voters a say on the EU managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Telegraph.
David Cameron has held talks with Nick Clegg about forming a second coalition after 2015, amid growing concern in Downing Street that the Conservatives will not win the next election.
The pair are said to have discussed the prospect of a second union “from time to time” over the past year, with the Prime Minister confident that his deputy will not form a government with Labour.
One of the reasons the Conservatives lost is that they were almost certainly not Conservative enough, the public simply didn't want another Labour government, they did not warm to Cameron in his role as Blair mk2. Rather than putting clear blue water between him and the leftards, he tried to be all things to all men and became nothing to anyone.
And now it seems as if he's hell bent on losing the next election by tying himself to the even more leftist Lib Dems who are so unpopular these days that Ukip are currently leading them in the polls because of Ukips appeal to Conservative and Labour voters, something that the media is in somewhat of a frenzy to deny... well the Labour bit anyway.
Other than for a politician to actually be loath to give up actual power, you'd think that Cameron was deliberately allying himself to the Lib Dems to lose the next election to avoid a referenda on the EU.
Bears thinking about.

Denial

Seems the barbarians who butchered Lee Rigby are denying that they committed murder, an unusual step to be sure considering how they filmed themselves doing it and the rants they gave. Then again as muslims they probably don't think it was murder, more along the lines of just offing a military kaffir and of no great moment as the barbarians showed in the Kenya shopping mall.
Mail.
Two men appeared in court today to deny claims they murdered soldier Lee Rigby outside his barracks.
Michael Adebolajo, 28, of Romford, Essex, and Michael Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, appeared via video link at the Old Bailey.
They also each denied attempting to murder a police officer on May 22, the day of Fusilier Rigby’s death, and conspiracy to murder a police officer on or before that day.
No doubt they are hoping for their day in court to continue their vile rants about the demi-demon they call allah, though I suspect that we won't hear that much about their rants, just the odd media comment unless you actually decide to go along and listen to the tedious barbarians.
Cameron and other politicians have gone into denial over islamic violence claiming that islam is a religion of peace and that what happened was not islamic, though anyone who has read the quran and studied the hadiths will tell him or them otherwise. Then again anyone who does is either accused of racism (like islam is a race) islamophobia (it isn't a phobia when the danger is very real) or gets the equivalent of someone holding their fingers in their ears shouting "La, la, la, I can't hear you."
There are also immediate moves by muslim organisations and leftards to try and shift the blame in claims that muslims are the real victims of our justifiable anger. Claims of attacks on mosques and muslims often exaggerated (or outright lies) to try and garner sympathy, although even this is failing as the UK awakes to the enemies that politicians have allowed to infest these shores.
No, these guys don't think they've done anything wrong, they want their day in court to tell us this and blame us for their actions.
That sadly is islam for you.

I'd have thought it would be more...

Now I don't like islam, I believe it to be violent, fascistic, totalitarian, genocidal, warmongering, misogynistic, homophobic, medieval, intolerant and somewhat of a supremacist in it's treatment of anyone not a muslim male. That said, I don't have a problem generally with muslims as individuals, it's when they are in groups and essentially being told what to do that causes problems. Certainly there does appear to be something of a hair trigger between ordinary and jihadi and I'm unsure just what causes the switch to flick.
Mail.
A survey has revealed that many young people distrust Muslims and feel Britain would be better off if there were less of them in the country.
Of the 1,000 young people questioned in a BBC survey, 27 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds said they didn't trust Muslims, while a similar number said Britain would be better off with fewer Muslims.
It also emerged that 60 per cent thought the British public had a negative image of Muslims and 44 per cent said Muslims do not have the same values as the rest of the population.
A total of 16 per cent said they didn't trust Hindus or Sikhs, 15 per cent said they didn't trust Jewish people, while 13 per cent and 12 per cent said they didn't trust Buddhists and Christians respectively.
No doubt the leftards in society now believe they have a major problem with young people being virulently racist, despite islam or muslim not being a race as such despite the best efforts of some to equate the religion with race.
The Government group blames negative media coverage of Muslims for stoking anti-Islam sentiment.
Yes, the media clearly should not have shown burning poppies, bombings in London, Boston and New York, butchery in Woolwich, Abu Hamza, Samantha Lewthwaite, Bali bombings, Al Quaeda, or show stuff like these pictures.



Yes, clearly if the media didn't show stuff like this or report the truth then muslims would be viewed much more kindly by the young and society in general. 
Well I've got news for the islamists and assorted leftards and libtards who cannot see the wood for the trees, you reap what you sow and islam has been sowing the seeds of its own problem in the eyes of others for decades now and people have reached the stage where they no longer are prepared to accept the 'religion of peace' platitude as favoured by the hard of thinking and lying muslim spokesperson. 
Islam is not, never has been and never will be a religion of peace. If anything most muslims are good people in spite of their religion, not because of it. Nor does islam mean 'peace' it means submission, and most of us are not prepared to submit to the vile creed it is.

Is it cos I is black?

I hate the race industry with a passion as it's very much in their interests (funding) to ensure that racism is kept very much alive in the UK. Particularly when it comes to the grievance procedure when confronting an employer...
Mail.
A black fire station commander is suing bosses for race discrimination - claiming colleagues called him ‘Frank’ after former boxing champion Frank Bruno.
Birmingham-based Warren Simpson, 48, alleges he was passed over for promotion for seven years and his career development was not supported in the same way as white colleagues.
The commander, believed to be the highest-ranked black officer in the West Midlands Fire Service, is taking his brigade to an employment tribunal after claiming he was victim of race discrimination, including victimisation, harassment and bullying.
Mr Simpson joined the brigade in 1985 and worked at various stations before becoming a station commander at fire service headquarters in Birmingham.
His wife Cordell Simpson represented him at the city tribunal. She claimed he had been referred to as ‘Frank’ after the ex-world champion Bruno.
Mrs Simpson added: 'Mr Simpson believes his development has not been supported in a comparable way of that of his white colleagues.'
Firstly Frank Bruno is one of the most respected people in the UK and very much a role model for many young people. He won the WBC world heavyweight  championship in 1995 and remains a popular celebrity to this day. If anything Mr Simpson should be pleased that his nickname is after Frank, as opposed to say... Homer.
Secondly I rather doubt any white officer has the Association for Black Professionals in the Fire Service (UK) to fall back on as if there were a white organisation that would be racist...
I can't help but think that the organisation Race 4 Justice who appear to be supporting Mr. Simpson are part and parcel of the problem as well, as it does appear that they may be a fake charity suckling at the taxpayer teat and therefore need cases like this to increase their funding.
Why is it that the first choice in any case involving someone not white seems to fall into the scream racist type of investigation? Do they really believe that old whitey is really out to get them?
Of course if we aren't, it does call into question people like Mr Simpson's abilities... so perhaps that's why after all...

Getting it, but unable to do anything about it

A judge got it about the benefits system and those who defraud it today. Unfortunately for the judge he can't do a damned thing about it...
Express.
BRITAIN’S scrounger culture came under fire yesterday after a judge heard how a benefit cheat will repay almost £100,000 – using taxpayers’ money.
Judge Beverley Lunt was astonished to learn that mother-of-seven Cleo Embley can carry on claiming £237 a week even though she fiddled the welfare system for four years.
When Embley’s barrister said she “knows she is going to have to pay the money back”, Judge Lunt replied: “But she isn’t. The taxpayer is going to have to pay it back.
She has defrauded all this money but is entitled, from the state, for more money. So the state will receive the money – from the money the state is giving her.
Embley, 37, from Rishton, near Blackburn, illegally received more than £94,000 by claiming that her handyman boyfriend Paul Harwood did not live with her.
This is something those of us on the so called right of the political compass have been railing about for years, the fact that the unemployed (and oft times the unemployable) if indulging in criminal behaviour are rarely penalised in a manner which affects them. The state simply coughs up the cash and a small decrease in their benefits often results.
Even prison isn't really a viable option in that it costs more to lock up someone than for the taxpayer to pay the fine.
There was a time when crime and punishment went hand in hand with the institution of what was known as hard labour, unfortunately the reformers (mostly libtards and leftards) got the thing abolished and a nice comfy regime installed which meant that prison was no longer something to be feared. Lately there have been calls to release even more criminals as prisons are too crowded, sadly building more prisons seems not to have occurred to anyone in power.
So we have fines which are not fines and prison which other than keeping people locked away isn't really prison at all, simply a bit boring at times.
Perhaps it's time we got rid of the reforms and put a bit more bite into justice, make appearing in court something to really fear for the guilty.
Then again, i doubt anything will be done, too many people willing to bleat and cry about human rights... whilst the rest of us believe that criminals should only get very basic rights...

Value for money?

Well it's time to start on the Labour conference and their determination to put the past so far behind them that no one will remember the last time they were in power. It was as ever the usual platitudes, a bit of news candy and a slight emphasis on economic reality... the reality of the left, not reality itself.
They did announce that they would scrap HS2 if they don't think it's good value for money and costs rise, just a shame that they never seem to do this for other Labour flagship projects in the past...
BBC.
Labour is questioning whether the HS2 rail project is "the best way to spend £50bn for the future of our country".
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls told the party conference they still backed the idea of a new north-south rail link, but there could be no blank cheque.
Supporters say the project will provide much needed extra rail capacity.
The Labour leader of Manchester City Council criticised his party for raising doubts about its viability, accusing Mr Balls of a "cheap shot".
Sir Richard Leese - head of the Labour council since 1996 - said the high-speed line was "essential" to prevent the North and Midlands "slowly grinding to a halt".
Basically it was just words, the ground support of the Labour movement in whom 'Ballsy' would end up having to answer too has already said no way are you stopping this. A cheap shot indeed so beloved of politicians when it comes to heading off the spending of money on something they think the public might not support.
Still, there's always option two for getting the comrades on board...
BBC.
Working parents of three and four-year-olds in England would get 25 hours of free childcare a week if Labour wins the next general election.
Shadow chancellor Ed Balls plans to raise the banking levy by £800m a year to fund the move.
Three and four-year-olds currently receive 15 hours of free care a week, but Mr Balls wants to increase this.
Meanwhile, he has asked the government's spending watchdog to review his party's economic plans.
Now this is socialist thinking at its worst, the comrades will think that the public will support a raid on the bank, indeed many might do so until they realise that the banks won't lose anything by this. Essentially this is a stealth tax by a roundabout way as the banks will immediately look to recoup their cash by charging more for their services. You may avoid this if you don't have an overdraft, go into the red, don't take out a loan or save. because the bank is likely to increase the hidden charges involved with all these factors and we the public (everyone who has a bank account) is liable to feel the pinch if at some stage we fall foul of the bank.
Still, you can expect the comrades to crow about this as it looks on the surface to be good news, though as ever the term 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' should be very much at the fore of anyone looking at a politicians promises. In the end we all end up paying for their hubris...

Out of proportion to their numbers

Most of the worlds attention is focussed on the islamic attack in Kenya today and the storming of the building to remove the barbarians holding hostages within.
Yet oddly enough a quick scan of the web pages of the BBC, The Mail, The Express and The Telegraph shows that Kenya is only one part of a problem with islam and muslims...
BBC.
Two bombs outside a church in Peshawar in Pakistan have killed at least 75 people, in one of the worst attacks on Christians in the country.
Two suicide bombers blew themselves up as worshippers were coming out of the city's historic All Saints church after attending Sunday Mass, police say.
Mail.
Britain's first Muslim free school is controlled by religious hardliners who ban children from singing or reading fairy tales and force staff to wear headscarves - according to the former head teacher and deputy who claim they were forced to leave.
Andrew Cutts-McKay resigned from his role as head of al Madinah School in Derby in August, two months after deputy Suzanne Southerland stepped down from her post.
Both allege they were 'bullied and sidelined' by members of the school's trust, which is predominantly Muslim. The school strongly denies the pair's claims.
Express.
A FAKE wedding scam aimed at letting Pakistani men enter the UK after marrying in apparently lavish ceremonies overseas was uncovered after photographs of the ceremonies showed different brides and grooms wearing the same clothes.
Telegraph.
Ozman Mirza, a British broker of Pakistani origin at Tradition Securities, says white colleagues yelled abuse at him across the trading floor and called him a "filthy f****** Indian" and "curry muncher". One senior broker even made the the Nazi salute, it is claimed.
Mr Davis said in a statement: "I am extremely surprised and shocked that the claimant's Tribunal claims contains serious allegations of racial abuse against me personally and other members of the FX Forwards desk.
"I wish to make it absolutely clear that I have never used any form of racist language towards the claimant or any of my colleagues. Nor have I ever heard or witnessed any members of my desk behaving in this manner. Had I done so, I would have reported it.
"The claimant never made any formal or informal complaints of racism or otherwise against me or my team."
Perfect examples of how muslims deal with and react too anyone other than themselves, although muslim on muslim civil war is also the biggest killer of muslims worldwide.
In Pakistan we see how muslims view any other religion than their own, they are literally cattle to be culled as and when muslims have a grievance... a pretty much ongoing situation worldwide as far as I can tell.
In the UK we see how muslims once they get into positions of power and authority proceed to put their belief system and ideals into place no matter the law or the legitimacy of their position.
By fake visa's we have an example of immigration jihad where although facilitated by Czech's,  male Pakistanis (and you can bet they aren't the bombed out minority Christians) are being allowed into the UK to spread their barbarism and undercut our own employment system. There are some libtard leftists who want an amnesty for illegals, I believe Stalin called those who would set the scene for their own downfall as 'useful idiots' it does seem apt after all.
Finally we have the grievance culture where a muslim once his lucrative job comes under threat immediately plays the racist card. It may be that he was abused, though the examples he gives are rather vague and no one else seems to remember them. Still, playing the race/religion card is always a good step, it almost immediately puts people on the defensive and makes them look the guilty party despite the failings of the accuser.
Four new outlets, four stories easily found about how islam behaves in the UK and worldwide and that's without the headline story of the siege in Kenya.
Yet we are constantly told that islam isn't like this by those who purport to lead us. An excuse growing thinner by the day.
The EDL leader Tommy Robinson (Stephen Yaxley Lennon) however nailed this when interviewed over the Lee Rigby atrocity when he said that 'this is islam' and as for the four stories above, truly 'this is islam' and it's only going to get worse until islam is dealt with once and for all.

That is why I'm English. Anyone can be British.

The previous governments attempts to smear 'the rights' nose in diversity by gerrymandering the political system with immigrants who were/are likely to vote Labour continues to gather pace. The current government seems unable to deal with the issues involved and are hamstrung by the Lib Dems having influence on the levers of power to some extent. So it came as no surprise to learn that over 2 million passports have been handed over early to give immigrants the rights of a UK citizen.
Mail.
More than two million immigrants have been granted British citizenship since 2000, it can be revealed. In the past year alone, a record 204,541 requests for a UK passport were rubber-stamped by the Home Office, official figures show. This is the equivalent of one migrant being given citizenship every two-and-a-half minutes – the fastest rate in history.
It means the total number given out since the turn of the century now stands at 2,053,396.
Campaigners say the face of British society has been changed for ever in just 13 years.
The main beneficiaries are from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, China and the Philippines.
Once approved, new citizens are treated in the same way as anybody else with a British passport, including no restrictions on access to housing, benefits or the jobs market.
Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch, said the figures were ‘the inevitable consequence’ of Labour’s deliberate policy of mass immigration.
The two million new citizens are entitled to vote in general elections, and critics, including Migrationwatch, have long insisted Labour adopted a deliberate policy of mass immigration for political reasons.
They cite remarks by former Labour speech writer Andrew Neather, who boasted the aim of its immigration strategy was to ‘rub the Right’s nose in diversity’.
This is the same Labour who were trying to convince us that they are suitable to be the next UK's government and that they can be trusted on various policies such as the economy and immigration, when the evidence over the years suggests that trusting Labour is not something any sane person should do.
What has happened instead of the much hyped diversity and multicultural rainbow society that the leftist libtards expected has been a fracturing of society along racial, religious and ethnic lines with the colour of your skin or type of religion gaining you far greater privileges than the indigenous population with the 'cultural' excuse being the favourite for more extreme behaviour.
Labour are of course hoping that we'll forgive and forget their failings in this matter and perhaps some of their more sheeplike supporters in areas where 'diversity' hasn't wrecked the community will. Those who live in or near the ghetto's of immigrants who will not integrate, who won't learn the language and who see the immigrants getting preferential treatment by the state and its appendages however never will. In their rush to gain new friends, Labour trampled over the wishes of their own supporters/voters and finally having realised the loss of support in some areas now wish we'd all just forget and put the blame elsewhere.
What they did however was unforgivable and I for one will never forgive and never forget.

No compulsion?

Whilst I am of the opinion that people ought to be able to dress the way they like whilst out in public, I'm of the opinion that when compulsion is used in the form of a religious mandate then it's very wrong. I'm ok with the likes of Mosques and Synagogues insisting on making visitors wear appropriate garb, but I'm not so sure on forcing non-believers to wear religious garb in a religious school, particularly if they are not of that religion...
Telegraph.
Staff at Al-Madinah School, in Derbyshire, say that they have been told to sign new contracts agreeing to wear hijabs and make girls sit at the back of classes.
The Muslim faith school, which caters for 200 students aged four to 16, also forbids the teachers from bringing in non-Halal food or wearing unacceptable jewellery, it is claimed.
Non-Asian staff have been seen removing the headgear immediately when leaving the building, but refused to reveal the extent of the school's demands.
Nick Raine, regional NUT officer, said: "We are very worried about the school and the education of the 200 children there.
"It's one thing to have a dress code which we can challenge and quite another to build it into a contract.
"The school is publicly accountable so there needs to be greater transparency."
Now whilst I'm mostly of the opinion that it's their gaff, their rules I feel that this is very different from the failure of that Birmingham college to try and ensure that faces will be uncovered for security (and honesty) reasons. This is a deliberate attempt to get staff to comply to a dress code foreign to this country and not islamic in any way shape or form.
As an imam Dr T Hargey who is the Director, Muslim Educational Centre of Oxford put it in a letter to the Times (paywalled)
For Muslims to claim that the niqab/burka is Islamic is not only deceitful, but disingenuous. At best it is an outmoded cultural convention and a primitive tribal habit. Many ill-informed Muslims have, however, been conditioned to conflate culture with religion and befuddle liberal Britain that this is a principle of religious freedom and human rights when it is neither. In fact, it is illegal for masked women to undertake the pilgrimage to Mecca or to perform their daily prayers. If women are prevented from hiding their identity at Islam's holiest shrine, why do they need to do so in the UK?
And as an imam, he would know.
No, this is yet another example of islamics trying to set themselves and keep themselves apart from society and enforce their weird and inappropriate dress sense on the rest of us. I suppose the staff could simply hand their notice in or refuse to wear medieval tribal clothing, but the point is as non islamics not in a religious building is that they simply have no need too.
Sue Arguile, branch secretary of Derby National Union of Teachers, said: "There are worries over practices concerning the discrimination between male and female pupils in the school, with the girls being told to sit at the back of the class regardless of whether they can see the board properly.
Perhaps we should simply close it down as they can't seem to follow civilised patterns of behaviour so that even the left wing NUT are concerned...

This wouldn't happen anywhere else

Local councils and government along with the state waste millions on translation services for people who really ought to be speaking the recognised language of the country. Whilst a case can be made for providing Welsh translations in Wales and Scots Gaelic in Scotland, there's no excuse for it in England. Not that you can tell that to the councillors in the islamic republic of Tower Hamlets...
Express.
Controversial Tower Hamlets council, which has one of the largest migrant communities in Britain, made the announcement last night after a Bangladeshi man started addressing councillors in Bengali.
The man, who had been listed to ask a question about a local issue in east London, walked to the podium and microphone and spoke for several seconds in Bengali before the Speaker, Lesley Pavitt, asked him to stop.
She said he must speak in English, but he replied that he struggled with the language.
He told the 51 councillors, of whom 30 are of Bangladeshi origin and Bengali speakers, that he should be allowed to continue in his mother tongue.
But a senior council official replied that had he given the town hall enough notice, an official interpreter would have been booked.
The official said he could delay his question until next month’s meeting when a professional would attend.
Oddly enough the people in Tower Hamlets will have to pay for this professional, not the guy asking the question in a tongue which is foreign to this country. Welcome to the lunacy which is multiculturalism in the UK though where every person who does not have a grasp of English needs to have a (free) translator provided for them at our expense.
What should have happened at the meeting was that the guy asking the question be charged for the privilege of asking it in Bengali. If his English isn't good enough, he should have brought along someone whose English was, not be told that he would get his own free professional at ratepayers cost.
Btw this is the same Tower Hamlets council who gives £185,000 a year in grants to community groups who provide free Bengali “mother tongue” classes for children after school... rather than English lessons, you know the language of the country they live in. If their parents want them to speak Bengali, that's their problem, not the problem of a council you'd think?
This is why I believe that the end result of multiculturalism so beloved of leftards will inevitably lead to civil war.
