The thin edge of the wedge.
The headline in todays Sunday Telegrapf says, `Islamic law is to be recognised by British Law Chiefs,`
Shariah Law is practised in many parts of our country now.
Better get used to it. They are coming to a street near you.

Re: Invasion
I listened to a message in Church this morning , ( Sermon ) , the speaker talked about community , and pointed out that we have groups of facebook and twitter friends , with Justin Bieber having the most followers because the youth of today believe they are his " Friends " . I thought about that , I live in a street of 60- houses and know 10 families well enough to say good morning , 3 well enough to hold a conversation , I have lived here for 3o what the preacher said , we lead a much more insular life than our parents . So I am resolving , when I am outside , I shall wish passing strangers a good morning , and ask the neighbours how they are . I wonder , if when immigrants , regardless of country of origin , race , creed or religion , came to live next door , if we had made them a cup of tea and a bacon buttie on their first morhe soaps where they all get together in the pub , which is rare these days , do they give a false sense of community , and here in the real world we have lost the community spirit .
As an aside , he related a tale that a member of the church he attends , he is a visitor to us , asked him to pray for poor Lorelli who had been raped , he did so , and asked if Lorelli was a local girl , and did she need help , the Church member said no , she is Australian , on Prisoner Cell Block H . We do blur reality at times

Re: Invasion
We are all here with our gripes and moans about the state of the country and how our government are letting the country go to the dogs in every respect.What are we doing about it ,NOTHING!!!!absolutely NOTHING!!!!No, soft Johnny English puts up with their lot and know what is wrong and just moans and groans amongst each other and tell each other what is wrong and how to put it right .We just wait until there is a change in government and believe what they promise to do and vote for them and so it go's on.Just watching the news,riots in Madrid,Caracas and some other capital where the people are rioting to let the government know that enough is enough.People in this country are £2.400 p.a. worse off than when this government came in,if it carries on much longer I can see the people of this country saying enough is enough and action talks louder than words.People are not only dis-satisfied with their wages but the influx of peoples from all over the world which are a drain not only on the economy but on education,housing,NHS and a lot more.

Jim you should be here in Melbourne on a Sunday, just about every week there is a march about something the minorities do not like. Two weeks ago we had the march in March, a mad group of about ten thousand or so there to complain about every thing from the climate to the government both state and Feral. For many particulary the Greens and othet mad groups it is a chance to take the kids out for the day and in general make a bloody nuisance of themselves. sad thing is no one takes any notice of them but at least I suppose they are trying.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Invasion
Jim B has it spot on. There must be something in the British make up that stops us from doing the right thing and that is burning down Westminster with all the plonkers inside. We all go along listening to the same all rubbish spouted by the politicians of all parties knowing that whichever one gets into power nothing will ever really change for your average man in the street. O.K. so he may enjoy a few years of modest wealth such as given by Blair but then he has to pay for the foolhardiness of the idiot with years of penury whilst all the time those at the top of the pile along with the politicians go swanning along without a care in the world except perhaps where are they going to get there next Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Caribbean holiday from as there bonus/expenses have been reduced by 1% from 2 million to 1. million.
So Joe public is so fed up with politics that he cannot be bothered to vote and so the cycle goes on.
One day and I hope I see it before I shuffle off this mortal coil, a political party that is honest and faithful to its voters will gain power and so once again the public will regain there faith in politicians without the need to take up arms and chuck the lot of them into the Thames.
Rant over, third coffee coming up to settle the B.P. and red face.
