News roundup

Apologies for neglecting this blog for the past few days. There has certainly been no shortage of stories of interest and so, instead of making an individual post for each one, I will summarise them in one offering.

Outrage in Cambridgeshire village

In the Cambridgeshire village of Cottenham there was outrage at an £8000 Lottery grant awarded to teach local schoolchildren gypsy songs. This same village is home to a large gypsy encampment, and locals say that the award is "insensitive" and the money could have been better spent elsewhere. I agree! Why is it that we always have to accommodate "alternative" lifestyles at the expense of our own culture? You will notice from this report that those who are sympathetic to the gypsies are not from the local area!

Halal-only at Dominos

Dominos Pizza has stopped selling pork products at one of its outlets in Birmingham, and no points for guessing who this is meant to appease! The pepperoni pizza has been taken off the menu and replaced with tandoori chicken and other halal meats. Understandably, British customers are not happy at no longer being able to order their favourite porky pizza, but in this day and age we must all bend over backwards to do what the Muslims want. Why should British people's favourites be taken off the menu just to satisfy the appetites of an alien culture? This story is here.

British culture banned by Muslims

Muslim schools in Britain are encouraging their pupils to grow up with a hatred for Britain. The schools are promoting Islamic extremism and discourage children from playing cricket, board games, listening to music or reading Harry Potter books.

The website of an Islamic school for girls in London states: “Our children are exposed to a culture that is in opposition to almost everything Islam stands for.” Really? Well why don't they get themselves to a country which has a culture which supports what their religion stands for? If they hate Britain so much then why do they stay? Is it because of our generous benefits? The fact that our culture is eroded in order to avoid causing them the slightest offence? Or is it because in many countries they would not get away with such behaviour and outbursts?

Of course the Muslims are whining about the findings, calling them "misleading, intolerant and divisive".

Who are the intolerant ones here? Who are the ones who hate our culture? If they want Muslim laws and Muslim schools then they should leave OUR country and go off to a Muslim one, where I am sure they will be very happy!
