Knife crime.. 3 dead

[EFLImpudence]

Andy is referring to another thread where he queried why only certain people are called 'Asian' when that includes all from Israel to Japan and Siberia to Indonesia.

As you say, just the terrible press we have but I don't think they would have said the equivalent for another religion.

No, they don't.

But it is pretty depressing. Story should be that customer refused to pay builders and a fight broke out after they got drunk, but instead its first about their religion and then about where they are from.

Harsher sentences if they get caught and found guilty MAY have

They say you cant teach a dog new tricks.

Hate certainly shows his complete inability to understand that evidence proves harsher sentences dont reduce crime.
Hate just relies on blind faith

You're saying it's an anti - sikh angle then?

Oh I do apologise what you meant was this:

only miniature replicas, sewn into the hems of their clothes so that they cannot be used as weapons.

70% cut in Youth services. Austerity on this scale was never required, it was a convenient vehicle for Tory idealogues.

what an horrific way to go

Why not just call them men? Does it matter that some were Indian, some Sikh?

Yes, it does matter that we are told that they were foreign, or of foreign extraction. If we are importing a culture that "lives by the sword an dies by the sword" the public needs to know about it - is vital information for the safety of the public.

You wouldn't get a group of Yorkshiremen murdering each other over a wages dispute, or Geordies, Brummies or Mancunians.

Well, Mancunians perhaps.

Someone ought to tell you about correct use of quotation marks.

Yes, I quoted hate.

 

[Mottie]

Yes, I quoted hate.

I thought you knew how to use them? You appeared to when you posted this to someone else.

"What I wrote did not have quotation marks around it, therefore It did not represent a quote and cannot said to be misrepresented or misquoted. I would suggest you should take more care before launching into a critical response to a post".

Novel idea but why not try practicing what you preach?
