UK police bow to "Islamic sensitivities," allow Muslim protesters to throw shoes

And once again, political correctness takes precedence over public safety.

From allowing shoe throwing to allowing stone throwing is but a small step.
Come on Britain.........you can do it.

Sarc off//

This is sick.
Is there no limit to UK's dhimmitude?
Are there no rational people left in UK?

When westerners go to Muslim countries, even for a visit never mind immigration, they are expected to know & respect the local laws & customs there. When Muslims come to the West, even at the sucker kindness of allowing them immigration and welfare, we are expected to respect their customs and even some of their Sharia laws. No wonder they have so little respect for us. No one respects suckers.

And IMO as long as Europeans & the British refuse to elect truly conservative or right wing parties to end the nonsense, they deserve the disrespect.

Good move, Britain.

I sure hope one of those "shoes" isn't a...........
SHOE BOMB.....

Nope. Can't happen. Just move along.

My culture has a long standing practice of throwing objects back at people who throw them at us.............I must conclude that that is halal as well.

Just one more step using of course shoes to get there as the clueless Brits march in lock step with their future ruling class under the slowing growing imposition of sharia by the aggressive Islamic culture. Yep that's it dhimmi Brits,keep bending over until you reach a position known as HUA ot FOA.

It is in fact embarrassing to watch this evolve through the outrageous perversion of multiculturalism. One day in the not to far off future your going to look back and say "what the hell happened to my country?" Then your going to sit down and have some halal food while being forced to face Mecca and trying figure out which women is your wife.

So, at the next Islamic demonstration, full of signs demanding Sharia law and the death of the Queen, English counter-demonstrators should arrive "well-heeled" [hee-hee], and launch a wave of footwear at the Islamics. We'll see how they like when "the shoe is on the other foot." [hee-hee, again]

No reason muslims should not be free to assault any non muslim, All they need is the courage to do so they already have the scriptural high ground.

Throwing rotten fruit and eggs at speakers with whom one disagrees is also a traditional and ritual form of protest. How is the judge with that?
An even better ritual form of protest is tarring and feathering. I'm sure the judge would approve.

Does this include safety boots, army boots, wooden clogs and other heavy footwear? Will there be a fatwa as to the size (weight) of the footwear to throw, as in the size of the stones - too small, too big, and just right-, used for stoning?

Around the world Muslims are slinging Islamic lead....It is a religious thing don't ya know?....

I would suggest that we show the shoe throwing Muslims the same curtesy by throwing back shoes made out of pig skin at Muslims. Then you hit where it hurt the most - at the Muslim stupidity and superstition.

Anyone who want to get rich quickly should start a production of pig skin shoes in the UK. ;-)

Political Correctness making a mockery of western society once again. I sure hope they aren't wearing any steel toed footwear to toss at the police.

What next will the muslims be allowed to throw? Rotten eggs, rotten veggies and fruit. Maybe some Molotov Cocktails will be allowed as "an expression of religious freedom". Heck, maybe even wearing an explosive vest will also fall under this category. When is enough enough? Killing non-believers is an expression of that faith right?

These blatant safety violations are a sure sign that the fabric of Western Society is starting unravel by the PC retards, and rewoven by the brutal doctrine of Sharia.

Ay, for Britannia to have sunk so low - that's what really hurts.

Of course now it's only a matter of time before someone packs a boot with fireworks and throws that...

I suppose Iraq owes an apology to Muntadar al-Zaidi
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7785338.stm

Maybe the U.S. should give him reparations.

Sadly, I think it is going to have to get much worse, before the population takes any action to make it better. I believe that Europe will, in my lifetime, be engrossed in a terrible series of civil wars. They are too far down the path and too far entrenched in PC to turn it around now.

Quaere: may a non-Muslim, then, throw shoes with impunity? No? Why not?

Qaere:

If the friends, or even members of the family, of a British soldier wounded or killed in Iraq "helping to bring 'freedom'"to people permanently primitivized by Islam, or possibly wounded or killed while helping to hand out candy(for the local children), or pass out contacts or build bridges, roads, power grids, schools (for the local grownups), is at some rally honoring the wounded and dead, would they be allowed to throw, directly in the faces of Muslims coming out to jeer, the army boots, preferably as heavy and as hobnailed as possible, would that be okay no matter what the resultant wound to the recipient of that boot in the face?

It should be.

But I suspect, that in Great Britain today, the non-Muslim thrower of the boot would be arrested, charged, and face severe punishment.

Meanwhile Muslims can hurl away, shoes, boots, and so on, at non-Muslims, because it's a "symbolic gesture" and if one of those shoes lands (as it might, for example, on the head of President Bush), well, we can't be judgmental. That only increases the possibility of a "clash of civlisations."

But

This just scares me, what next? What freedoms will they get and what will the rest of us have taken away? Crosses too dangerous in hospitals, but dirty burkas are safe? In the age of super bugs? Throwing shoes at police is a safe expression of religion?

I have no problem whatsoever with muslims being entitled to throw shoes at the Israeli embassy in ritual protest.
To be truly multicultural, the embassy staff should then be entitled to ritually open fire on the protestors with rubber bullets and tear gas.
A Merkava tank hurtling out of the embassy's underground carpark into the muslim midst would be icing on the cake.

spitting on a judge is also a symbolic political gesture and doesn't really hurt anyone, i wonder how he would react if someone made that symbolic gesture in his court room.

If it applies to kufr as well, I can see lots of political statements thrown at Adjem Choudary and others like him...
I hope this ruling spreads to the US, I know where there is a barefoot Imam who is in dire need of shoes, about 500 pair, all left foot...

One aspect of this PC madness is that the British National Party will be the political beneficiary. There is as much, if not more anger at PC attitudes as there are political dhimmis. The thread for this story in online 'Sunday Times' is full of very angry posters who feel they are being made fools of.
The coming election in Britain will see a large hike in votes for the British National Party, I'm sure. This will increase social tensions and violence in the streets between Muslims and those who oppose them. Violence will become routine. This is, of course, what Islam wants. It gives them the victim card to play.
But how can it be avoided? It can't, unless you roll over and give them everything they want. Then you're in even bigger trouble.

I'm afraid the years ahead are going to feature 'war' on our streets between Muslims and everyone else.

Shoes, and particularly the soles of shoes, are regarded as ritually unclean in the Islamic world.

I guess you have to do shahada to determine that your soles are 'ritually unclean', even though you can see, and smell, that you stepped in something yuky...Belief in Shahada entitles Mahoundians to throw shoes loaded with gunk, while it will remain illegal for kufr...I wonder if those with a religion that see's pork as ritually unclean, can throw chunks of it at Mahoundians as a ritual protest?

Perhaps this is why muslims take off their shoes in a mosque ................ I'm sure that the mullahs are thankful.

Are the going to let the Zulus throw their ritual spears too? If you've ever watched a video of shoe throwing, you will see the shoe throwers retrieving their shoes after the disruption. Maybe they should bring out one of those tree branch chippers and toss the shoes into the chipper as they're thrown. The legal basis is the common law of abandoned or discarded property. The discharge chute could be aimed over the heads of the throwers kind of like a muslim specific water cannon. Throw in a couple boxes of tacks to hinder the barefoot getaway. It would probably be a bit much to dip the tacks into pig manure first. The muslims are going to whine anyway. Give them something to whine about.

showing the soles of the shoes is a sign of great disrespect in the muslim world, that is why obama chose to pose in that famous photo of him talking on the phone with netanyahu with his feet on the table facing the camera.

This isn't going to backfire and there aren't going to be any riots when the wrong person gets thumped in the eye by a falling shoe. Oh no. (Rolls eyes)

Sigh...

We should allow Eggs to be thrown on Mullahs and in the Mosques. Eggs have been there for a Long time and people have thrown eggs. We definitely need to be allowed to throw eggs in Britain. Hope some Lawyer can file a case so that we can even throw some eggs on Police in UK
In India also we need a new rule we allow Muslims to throw Shoes and we throw Boiled Eggs on them.
Just surprised that British with their divide and rule policy in India can stoop so low that one day they will lick the boots of Muslims in British.
If Hindus had not defeated Muslims in India in 1700 century British would have never got the Indian empire and well now we see the real character of British Empire.
My Hope is Americans show Islam that just as the revolutionary was Americans can fight and win this stupid political correctness or as we say in India foolish secular Brigade of India.

"Just surprised that British with their divide and rule policy in India can stoop so low that one day they will lick the boots of Muslims in British."

Frankly, the 'divide and rule' policy is over-rated. British didnot need to divide hindus and muslims. Divisions between us existed for a 1000 years, and are of a fundamental nature.

In History books of India, british are blamed for the hindu-muslim divide, to create the impression that hindus and muslims can co-exist peacefully. On the other hand, the mughal rulers are praised for contributing their 'culture' to India.

Sorry, can't resist...... if they prosecuted all the footwear throwers, it would "clog" up the courts...

I'll get my coat...

So, if I throw my Doc Martens at a copper, I'll be prosecuted, but they won't? So much for blind justice.

The Marine that was drummed out of the army for hitting a Taliban prisoner with his Wellington boot - he thought the guy was escaping - must be particularly gutted.

UK police bow to "Islamic sensitivities," allow Muslim protesters to throw shoes

Allowed to throw shoes? Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile; next they'll be allowed to throw tantrums -- oh wait, they already do that with impunity.

And this really caught my eye: "Islamic sensitivities" What, are they kidding? Since when should the police be sensitive to the *needs* of nefarious thugs? Outrageous!

OT: I just now heard Joe Lieberman, in Fox, in a discussion on the ME/Iran, say "we're not in a war against Islam, it's a group of Islamist Extremism (sic) have taken the Muslim religion and made it into a political ideology. And I think if we're not clear about that, we disrespect the overwhelming majority of muslims who are not extremists..."

He also said that violent extremism is "motivated and organized by the ideology preached by Osama Bin Laden..."

So, apprently, Joe thinks Bin Laden created the violent ideology of Islam.

Muhammad who??

Amazing idiocy.

Let's hope Infidels don't start writing the words: Mohammed, Koran, All*h, etc. on the bottom of their own shoes.

Let's also hope that Infidels don't take their own shoes off and show non-Infidels what's written on them.

CrazyIslam - Because Knowing About Those Who Wish Us Death Isn't Crazy

I am now at the point where I hate and loath my own country. I want to see this nation burnt to ashes, I would rather it that way than end up an Islamic emirate.

About half of the population of this God forsaken, festering, putrid country still think its "racist" to confront this Islamic colonialism. Labours brainwashed sheep I call them, that 33% of the population thinking of voting Labour.

So to hell with you Britain. What future does a country have that spits in the face of our ancestors who bled and died for our future? That does not have the courage to stand up for it's own identity? That no longer has the red bloody guts to fight for it's own survival? That makes patriotism illegal? Dissent illegal?

Yes, screw you Britain. I'm off to a small Mediterranian island. Call me when the penny drops.

The dhimmitude of once-Great Britain breaks my heart.

Having been born in England, I have always taken pride in my roots and in my country's history. Now it seems that the UK is caving in to the barbarians at a breakneck pace. It's unbearable to watch.

Downhome some of the byes could get a little political. They called it "shooting the boots" or "putting the boots to you". Sometimes even women get involved in the discussions "I'll hoof you in the berries"

Lookie lookie here. Mr Fitnah, are you the alter ego of regular poster Fitna? Your comment teeters precariously between tongue-in-cheek and outright incitement; ''All they need is the courage to do so they already have the scriptural high ground''
Sardonicism aside, thank you for the link as I havn't read this particular piece of gobbledegook before. I couldn't help but weigh up ''commanding the right and forbidding the wrong is the most important fundamental [sic] of the religon'' against ''the most important commandment is this; Love one another as I have loved you''.

And this one, all-too-easily overlooked as the sting is in tail, the final sentence ..''whoever of you sees something wrong, let him change it with his hand. If unable let him change it with his tongue. If unable,then with his HEART. And that is the WEAKEST degree of FAITH.'' ie here is canonical text that bears witness to an evolutionary parting-of-the-ways twixt the mammilian and the reptilian. Unlike the Darwinian model, affirmed by Watson+Crick with gene mapping, this wee beastie has no physiological manifestations as yet... however, lizards are what lizards lack.

'Jihadwatch' on this over a year ago:

"Pro-Jihad protesters hop home after London Jew-hatred demo"

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/01/pro-jihad-protesters-hop-home-after-london-jew-hatred-demo.html

It should be remembered that at this particular time, the UK Labour government is grovelling to please the Muslim vote ahead of the General Election.

As pointed out by several commenters here, the Labour government's facilitating of Islamic violence and Islamic insults on the streets of Britain is also a consequence of 'multiculturalism'.

"Multiculturalism has destroyed the British police"

http://paulweston101.blogspot.com/2009/10/multiculturalism-has-destroyed-british.html

That shoe-throwing is a particular form of Islamic insult is now well-known to Western governments which should be forceful in banning it, NOT supporting it as is the supine British Labour government:

"Bush shoe-ing worst Arab insult"

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7783325.stm

There was the case of a somali girl who used the blade of a pencil sharpener to slash the face of 12yr old girl in her class at school in Sheffield, causing a permanent scar.

the judge was lenient because it was "somali culture" to make violent retribution.

There was a time when knifes were frowned upon if ever used that the course imposed large sentences. At this time most people carried knives as tools of their trade too. With current knife law there could never have been an industrial revolution!

However, every time we accommodate the practices of savages from heathen places such as moslems we are equating their culture with barbarism.

In cases where moslems behave badly and claim "culture" there should be double the sentance as a detterent and a statement that barbaric behavoiur is not tolerated here.

(After all kissing is punished in moslem cesspits like Dubai and everyone accepts it as it is for Dubai to define it's own moral standards...)

There are many immigrants of moslem background that came to UK to escape barbarism for a more civilised society who are now tarred as barbaric by those in the ruling elite who tolerate Savage by calling bad moslem behavior as "diversity" or "islamic culture".

These immigrants are now identified as evil by the rest of society that watches the behavior of the radical moslems and call it evil.

This will lead to more people being caught up in the violent backlash that is just round the corner.

The concession has already been taken up enthusiastically by Muslim demonstrators, who pelted Downing Street with shoes in protest at the Israeli bombing of Gaza last year.

Dozens of ski-boots and clogs were also hurled at the US consulate in Edinburgh in a related protest, in which three policemen sustained minor injuries...."The court accepted that the earlier shoe-throwing incident was simply a ritual form of protest and therefore not a criminal act of violence," Holt said.

"Ski-boots and clogs"—just typical footwear for the streets of London, no doubt...sarc/off

Is the court familiar with other Muslim "ritual forms of protest"—such as "honor killing" their women should they be insufficiently submissive to their fathers and husbands? How about gang raping unveiled Infidel women?

What about beating or murdering Infidels who are insufficiently deferential to their Muslim masters? Why should any of these be a crime in today's Londonistan? sarc/off

Observe the excellent observation by our friend Esmerelda Weatherwax.

"The English custom, which I submit we should now be allowed to follow, is not to throw the shoe. But to stick the boot in. Hard.

At the very least we must be allowed to hurl rotten fruit and vegetables."

Hear, hear!

I put my own two cents in, in the Comments, and it seems that Indiaandislam and I are of one mind in this:

'Dear Esmerelda - in your reference to time-honoured English custom, the Boot, as well as the use of rotten fruit and vegetables to indicate a strong opinion...how could you possibly forget the third traditional item in the mighty triumvirate of Expressions of Popular Displeasure, namely, the Egg?

"Alas, my Child, where is the Pen/ that can do justice to the Hen? Like Royalty she goes her way/ Laying Foundations every day/ If not for Public Buildings, yet/ for Custard, Cake, and Omelette./ And if too Old for such a Use, they have their Fling at some Abuse/ As when to Censure Plays Unfit/ Upon the Stage they Make a Hit/ Or at Elections Seal the Fate/ Of some Obnoxious Candidate./ NO wonder, Child, we Praise the Hen/ Whose Egg is Mightier Than the Pen".

When will sanity return to the Scotland Yard vis a vis the shoe throwing ruling, is it going to be after an Islamic shoe lands on one of the Queen's finer hats ?

What is it with Britain ?!!

Time to get out some good old fashioned greaves for counter-protests.

Behold, the new Brit law debut -
A Muslim can hurl his shoe!
When Mo throws a fit,
See England submit
And flush its pride right down the loo.

When will all this bowing to ‘Islamic sensitivities’ come to end? When we live in a sharia-based society? When we submit to an Islamic state?

Of course Muslims start with the small things. Then they will argue for the bigger things. They would and will not demand full sharia, compulsory jihad service or a mosque for every thousand Muslims at first. But this is not Muslim moderation. It is Muslim common sense. Why ask for the big things when you know they will be rejected? Why demand large-scale changes when such demands may work against the spread of Islam in the longer term?

So instead Muslims demand various small things knowing that many small separate concessions and accommodations will soon add up to a single big set (when given enough time).

One day I woke up to view the multicultural world and saw a sharia-governed world instead. Multicultural society had become an Islamic society.

This man did not see this coming because all he saw, from day to day, were the small accommodations or concessions to Muslims. Things like single-sex swimming baths, halal meat, more mosques, Muslim organisations and community leaders gaining more power and influence, non-Muslims women being forced to wear the hijab in Muslim areas or in Islamic buildings, etc. Bugger this! Here’s a longer list of accommodations and concessions. (Skip past the red if it gets a bit boring.):

*) Sell land at discount prices for building mosques or other Islamic institutions (Dudley!!).
*) Ban Hindus and Jews from a jury hearing a criminal case against an Islamist in Great Britain.
*) Allow a prisoner the unheard-of right to avoid strip-searches in New York State.
*) Let students in public (i.e., taxpayer-funded) schools use empty classrooms for prayers in New Jersey.
*) Permit public schools and public airwaves to be used to convert non-Muslims.
*) Recognize polygamous marriages for tax purposes in the United Kingdom.
*) Set aside women-only bathing at a municipal swimming pool in France or use taxpayer funds for Muslim women-only swimming times in Washington State.
*) Arrange for women-only classes at a taxpayer-supported university.
*) Blame women for being the victims of rape by Muslim men in Norway.
*) Develop a special hijab for female Muslim employees of a leading home furnishing company, sporting the corporate logo.
*) Ban the use of piggybanks - the symbol of frugality in their advertising by two major British banks.
*) Establish panels, councils, or advisory boards uniquely for Muslims.
*) Authorize Muslim-only neighbourhoods or events.
*) Apply the "Rushdie rules" accepting Islamist intimidation and silencing critics of Islam.
*) Punish anti-Islamic views through the application of criminal charges, as has occurred to critics of Islam in Australia and Canada.
*) Prohibit families from sending pork or pork by-products or "Any matter containing religious materials contrary to Islamic faith" to U.S. military personnel serving in the Middle East.
*) Require that female American soldiers in Saudi Arabia wear U.S. government-issued abayas.
*) Secure a charter from the New York City Department of Education to open an Arabic-themed public school.
*) Lead Muslim students in prayer at a public San Diego elementary school.
*) Allow women in Ohio, California, and New York to have their drivers license photos taken with hijabs on.
*) Designate the port of Rotterdam as compliant with Sharia law.
*) Construct Islamic toilets at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
*) Construct prayer facilities in public bathrooms at the University of Michigans Dearborn campus.
*) Appoint a "special envoy" of the United States government to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
*) Compel teachers and students to don Muslim garb to mark the end of Ramadan.
*) Forward plans to dig up portions of an historic London cemetery to make space for a "multi-faith" graveyard.
*) Allow cab drivers in Vancouver, B.C. to refuse certified guide dogs for reasons of religious conviction.
*) Admonish doctors and nurses in Scotland to refrain from eating in front of their Muslim patients and colleagues during the month of Ramadan.
*) Propose that people of all faiths refer to God as Allah to "create more dialogue."
*) Match couples through arranged marriages on a public television dating show.
*) Allow Muslim sex offenders in Great Britain to opt out of a prison treatment program because it is "against Islamic teachings to discuss your offence to anyone."

The throwing of shoes sounds a little inconsequential and of course silly. But it is one of very many small accommodations or concessions to Muslims. It is also a another symbolic victory. This victory is what matters to Muslims even if the concession itself is not that important. It is the victory that is important. The more Islamic victories the better; even the victory of being allowed to throw your shoes at the infidel.

Scotland Yard doesn’t seem to be worried about this accommodation or concession. After all, it hasn’t worried about all the other accommodations or concessions. And we still aren’t living in a sharia-governed society. So what’s there to worry about?

More importantly, however, the police want to bring about more ‘community cohesion’. They want us to ‘embrace diversity’. They also want us to ‘embrace cohesion’ and create ‘community diversity’. Or at least the big knobs in the police do. The ones at the top. The ones who admire Tony Blair and the religion of Political Correctness. The ones who don’t want to upset PC MPs and PC councillors. Police leaders like Chris Sims of the West Midlands Police who wrote an article against the English Defence League and told us how nice Unite Against Fascism is. Or the ones who say such things to further their careers or keep themselves in their jobs. They must also be frightened of New Labour keeping an eye on their levels of political correctness.

This latest accommodation/concession is actually the end result of a series of trials of more than 70 Muslim demonstrators who were charged with violent disorder after last year’s Gaza protests outside the Israeli embassy in London.

It’s only shoes. They can’t hurt anyone. It is only symbolic after all.

Perhaps the next accommodation/concession, or victory, for Muslims will be their being allowed to lob stones and rocks instead. After all, these were demos against Israel. And Muslims love to throw stones at the evil Israeli state. Why not? Stones don’t kill.

Hamas moved on from stones to bombs and guns. There is only a small amount of damage a Muslim can do with a single pair of shoes – although they could of course stock up on shoes or borrow someone else’s.

Perhaps after rocks and stones we will have an intermediary between rocks and Hamas's bombs. What about criminal damage - like smashing windows? After all, Muslims need to vent their anger towards the Israelis. And why not? The Israeli state in the outlaw state. So you can understand that a little criminal damage is but a tiny protest against a state that is far worse than Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s Russia.

… What about small bits of arson?....

One Muslim, Aquib Salim, an IT student at Queen Mary's College, London University, was involved in a throwing accident. He threw a stick… Hang on a minute. A stick, not a shoe? Yes, a stick. So what about a small petrol bomb or a bag of iron objects? Don’t be fascist or Islamophobic about this. These are the freedoms of Muslims we are talking about.

Even the Judge in this case was nicely accommodating. His name: Judge Denniss. He said that the shoe-throwing was a ‘symbolic act’, not a ‘criminal act of violence’. You see judges a very different nowadays. In the old days the Left had an image of them as being aging reactionary bigots from public schools. Now they are PC, but often still from public schools. They, as much as anyone else, believe that we should ‘embrace diversity’ and attempt to create ‘community cohesion’. And you can’t do these things if you send Muslims to prison for throwing shoes, or sticks, or rocks, or petrol bombs…

Why shoes? Shoes are regarded as ‘ritually unclean’ in the Islamic world. And if the Islamic world regards shoes as ritually unclean, and therefore throw-able, then shoes are ritually unclean, and therefore throw-able. Dogs are seen in this way too in Islamic society. Perhaps dogs should be banned from Muslim areas. (Are brand-new shoes seen as ritually unclean?)

Actually, even though the ritually unclean bit is part of Islamic custom, the throwing bit is largely a recent phenomenon. Remember the Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at President Bush for getting rid of the psychotic mass killer Saddam Hussein? He was jailed for three years in Iraq. Three years is a lot longer than the non-sentence the British Muslim got. In fact it is three years longer. So whereas Muntadhar al-Zaidi is seen as a hero; the British shoe-thrower may not be seen that way.

I mentioned the slippery slope from shoes to rocks to petrol bombs to real bombs. I was a too quick. Muslim demonstrators didn’t just pelt shoes at Downing Street recently (because of the Government not being in favour of the annihilation of the state of Israel), they lobbed ski-boots and clogs. What about Iron Man’s boots? Would they count?

Was this, then, a ‘victory for multiculturalism’? I think it was more a victory for Muslims. Full stop. More than that. It was a victory for biculturalism not multiculturalism. For Muslims against the rest. The ethnic minorities who are now actually a part of ‘the rest’ don’t get their way as often as Muslims do. Indeed they don’t even demand as much as Muslims do. They do not see themselves as a special category which should receive special accommodation from the state and from local councils. It is the Muslim self-created ghetto-isation that is partly responsible for this unquenchable thirst for accommodation and concession. And what is accommodated or conceded is not usually part of the British landscape. The more separate Muslims become, the more they will demand. The more they will both expect and demand. These demands will of course become more aggressive and much more frequent.

I am disgusted with you spineless Brits. I always admired you. I always thought of you as the mother country. Not anymore. No wonder President Hussein discarded Churchill's bust from the oval office. You should consult your grandparents and organize an underground resistance immediately. Cook bacon everyday and carry it with you. Leave bacon droppings and great globs of bacon grease melting in the sun everywhere till the whole country is contaminated. Go out at night and spray paint the walls, the sidewalks, the buildings. Get a spine. Terrorize them. Carry stun guns. Suck it up.

Since much of multi-culturalism is about mutual celebration, mutual enrichment,and cross fertilization of cultures,surely there can be no finer way of honouring another culture by adopting one of its traditions of robust expression and co-practising it in a spirit of assimilation and overarching community cohesion. And enjoying the same impunity as their co-celebrants as well,because under traditional English law it had been always said that all should be equal. Other jurisdictions think otherwise.
It is election time in England and politicians are thick on the ground. So maybe, some might say, what better time to ditch the polite eggs,flour,and custard of yore and start lobbing a few boots at them instead in legal protest.The police of course, will be equally prostrate in their understanding
