Maybe the difference is that we have always been stuck with the Catholic and Anglican Church but we didn't have to invite Islam here as well.
You also cannot have things in isolation when it suits you. We have had a few other problems with some Muslims recently in case you hadn't noticed. Oddly enough, that might have caused some resentment.

Awaits accusations of racism and blaming the Tories....

Seen them about six or seven times, although never in the classic line up, being a Floodland, late comer.

I used to be a member of the Reptile House fan club (dweebalert).

Thinking about going in September for a bit of nostalgia (at the Roundhouse). I like their covers, they're light and were great fun live - and it brings that back to me.

Also, Emma is the only song I can play on a bass guitar! (Sisters Version).

Wow.

I am up in arms about it.

Child abuse is unacceptable whoever the perpetrators. I was just wondering why the 2 cases I posted links to had not been mentioned on these boards whilst suspecting that if the perpetrators were Muslim there would be outcry.

You see there is a problem right there.

People should be judged upon what they actually say. Not what you might think they mean or feel they mean. That isn't a fair approach to anyone.

Everyone deserves fairness...None of us are in anyone else's head and what people say is far more important than what you think they mean.

What are you saying here?....that child abuses by white people aren't given attention??? I just don't understand how you can say that...I truly don't. The catholic church has rightly literally been smashed about over child abuse from every quarter far more than your minority clause celebre. Jimmy Saville didn't get attention??

Besides, who really gives a sh1t about the actual skin colour of a child abuser? That's a distraction...and most of the time it appears to be a distraction that your side continually bring up.

The comments in the mainstream media against Catholics within the media have been far more direct than against Muslims. I support that criticism and investigation of the connections between child abuse and the religion...Hell, you even had a Oscar winning Hollywood film...and condemn the double standard of some....who protect against the same connections being drawn against socially conservative Islamic gangs who deliberately targeted non Muslim females.

The very reasons that child abuse happened was partly the fault of 'progressive' witch hunting over racism that literally stops action. People who should have been protecting children were scared off by Muslim groups calling foul....and essentially people with your 'clause celebre' mindset who cry 'racist'.....That destroys careers.

Like I've said, I don't condemn politicians for making mistakes in interviews...left or right...I think it's a childishly overblown obsession. I haven't seen this interview and I'm not motivated by 'Gotca' interviews, and I don't think it's positive...Don't get me wrong...I see the need for keeping politicians on their toes but I think it's currently being over done

Are they a good speaker and debater? Do I like their policies? Do they have charisma that translates to votes?

That's more the game for me.
