Emma is making more and more sense all the time.

And I resent your implication that I am ignorant just because I said I don’t read sh!t. I didn’t say I knew nothing about the BNP, just that I don’t read sh!t. I read a lot. Just not sh!t.

There was no implication, it is how I feel about myself, what you do is your own business.As for the “good bloke/woman” thing, it’s easy for me, if I get on with them I like them.

Cop out! 8)

I’m in too good a mood to bother myself with some argument you may want. I’ve just watched Smokey and the Bandit and I feel great. :mrgreen:

I’m hoping to see Vieira at the City Ground next season. :shock:

Okay okay, I’m being very optimistic, but I can but hope.

If Alton Towers has a Muslim day, a Gay day, an OAP day, a DCFC only day, a “wear a pink carnation day”…it doesnt bloody matter….We all belong to the same wonderful country (for all its faults, of which it has many) and to single out a particular day because it is a Muslim day, whilst ignoring every other time Alton Towers is hired out is just barmy.

I wish I’d said it like that.

Yes, exactly. And why? (See Emma’s points elsewhere). Is it mentioned because it makes Muslims look like victims to certain sections of British society? Because there is a big argument at the moment and they want to sell papers? Because our government reacts like Pavlov’s dogs to the things the Daily Scum prints? Who, exactly, is trying to make me believe that my own culture/background has got to be compromised to accommodate other cultures when reciprocation of that compromise would be laughable to “them”?

I repeat: I have NEVER read any BNP stuff. It just makes me wonder.

There are too many agendas, but that’s life I suppose. I take it all with a pinch of salt, from ALL papers and try to read between the lines.

To be honest I don’t care who is trying to make me think I have to change to “accommodate” other cultures. A good bloke/woman is a good bloke/woman in my eyes, sod the religion thing I’m not interested.

I’ve read the BNP stuff every now and again, if I didn’t I would not be in any place to comment on them.

In answer to the original point, I bet you that this has happened for other corporate events when companies have privately booked Alton Towers. Only when Muslims are involved does it get mentioned.

As for the point which came up about Gaunt “supporting” the BNP or whatever, I agree with some of the things the Lib Dems say but I’m no supporter of them.

Just my 2p.

The theme tune to Cell Block H. :shock:

Hello everbody by the way, I just joined today.
