Isn't it time that the people of this country said ENOUGH.

[tapir]

Sack the idiots dreaming up this nonsense.

Or ignore the idiots who let the narrow minded Daily Mail get under their skin with stories such as these. It's 2010, and the UK is a very tolerant and multi-cultural, multi-faith nation.

It amazes me that there are people out there who think that a story such as this warrants writing in the first place.

Genuine question: why did they issue free lunches to those observing a fast?

Apparently, it's the law that kids that get free school dinners have to be given an alternative if it's Ramadan. The school I worked at probably had about 60-80 Muslim kids getting free dinners.

Multiply this by the amount of schools up and down the country and that's a lot of food literally being wasted.

Here in Derby they had the Derby Pride parade for gays and people of that ilk. Apparently there were protesters on the parade route. I'll leave you to guess which tolerant group these people belonged to. (hint,,, they definitely were not British, or Christians)

When I worked in a school,, During Ramadan, the Muslim kids that got free school dinners (and believe me there were quite a few), were entitled to collect a packed lunch from the dining room at dinnertime.

Surely it would be better if the school gave these children cashback to the value of the free school meal

I must have missed the referendum on 'open door Britain'.

Being as they get free dinners then Yes they should be entitled to a free refund of ZERO.

Feck the lot of them; if you desire respect for your culture/religion that’s fine by me but don’t do it at my inconvenience my expense or in prejudice to my culture/religion!

I’m an atheist! If you don’t like it, feck off somewhere where you will much better fit in; I can’t say back to your own country as, increasingly, this is their country of birth.

I’ve worked in places where I’ve had to be very, very careful how I conduct myself & what I say for fear of “upsetting culture” which could have resulted in me being deported but in some cases far worse; it was an absolute joy to be of help to them!

Did I enjoy the experience, not much at all; could I not wait to get out of there absolutely YES; would I ever go back, you have to be joking!

There is generally no tolerance of other cultures or religions at all as has already been stated, the prime aim is world domination (where have we heard that before) but hopefully I’ll be long gone before it happens.

You most certainly did miss the referendum on that Joe.

We had it back in the Eighteen Hundreds (before the Slave Trade Act )

Richard, Richard, calm down, you know it's no good for your high blood pressure. No doubt the bleeding heart liberal do gooders of this country have you down as a non believer in everything from multiculturalism to Climate Change. They undoubtedly think you believe that the Earth is flat and we'll all fall off the edge. Don't worry,, you are not alone.


I totally agree with what you say. Their religion has got to be the most intolerant of all religions.

 

[daneski88]

Harsh words indeed Richard, and not entirely in character.

However, I totally agree with your sentiments on the matter

 

[homes]

you should know as well as anybody else that thats what children do regardless off background usualy the boys and egged on by there mates

Well put.

a paid for school dinner

 

[ajstoneservices]

That was totally unexpected from you richard.

I have to say you have filled me with hope that others will wake up to the truth soon though i wont hold my breath.

 

[gregers]

again it seems new rules are being made up and introduced for the minority.
personally i feel it should stop,we area tolerant bunch but for how much longer?

my father in law has a sticker of the union jack on his car that says

if this flag offends you then please feel free to leave this country.

 

[Karinska]

Where did he get that from gregers?
