Re: Invasion
I am going off meat, I now eat more fish, I go to The Fish Shop on Dock St. Fleetwood and buy a load of cod, salmon, haddock and so on. we now have fish five days a week and chicken and Pork on the other two days. I find it is easier to digest since I had my big operation in Honolulu last year and feel better for it.
I bought £50 worth this morning and that will last us two weeks.
So I do Not have to eat Halal,
Cheers
Brian

Re: Invasion
Hi Jim
Fleetwood is the home of fish and the Big shop on Dock St has the cheapest prices and best quality fish.
better than Bolton Market.
It is worth going there for a day out and load up, as an added bonus you could have a Bacon Barm at William`s Log Cabin.
Cheers
Brian

Re: Invasion
I think all these idiots who want meat in a Religious way should ask themselves , what is it all about,??
What is going to happen to them if a Jew or mu slim eats Pork, or meat that is Not hal al or Kosher??
Are they going to be smashed by a Bolt of heavenly Lightning???
Are they going to be denied Entry into their heaven or paradise.??
How do they know.?? Who has told them that the entry to paradise is by eating hal al or kosher meat. ??
How daft and ridiculous is that.??
Can any intelligent person tell me WHY? Why do we have to be cruel to innocent animals so a mu slim or Jew can got to a ficticious paradise.
.
. Another horrible and cruel act by these immigrants.
I recieved a poster through my door last week. In English and Urdu.
"Take your children to the Great Lever Health Centre, NHS, Bolton, So the Mu slim doctor can perform circumcision on them"
I thought cruelty to children was illegal. How can they mutilate a child and get away with it.
The child obviously has no say in the matter.
It is also on the premises of my local NHS Health Centre, So obviously with our government consent,
Why is this allowed. If the child becomes an adult and wants to be mutilated that is his or Her Choice. THIS applies to girls as well, Mutillating girls by cutting off the clitoris so she can never ever enjoy sex when she is an adult is also criminal, but it goes on
THES are my neighbours.
Bleddy Savages. I am disgusted that this is allowed not only in my town but in my country. also on NHS premises.
Brian.

Re: Invasion
#150, Brian I don't know about male circumcision on the N.H.S. in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland but will find out tomorrow if you wish.
But the legal situation in the UK regarding girls is as follows:
"FGM is illegal in the UK. It is also illegal to arrange for a child to be taken abroad for FGM. If caught, offenders face a large fine and a prison sentence of up to 14 years." Marian

Re: Invasion
Thanks for that Marian,
FGM still goes on in these communities, it was mentioned on PMs Question Time today in Parliament and is a big problem, but again nothing is done about it in case they upset a Certain Religion. These `people` have there own laws and do not observe British Law. Shariah Law is in operation in many parts of the country and the Government is too scared to stamp it out.
We now have a Nation within a Nation.
They give out these leaflets from door to door, I get many like that, they blatantley advertise it knowing that no action will be taken against them.
I despair for a once great Nation that has been destroyed.
Brian.

Re: Invasion
from the OBSERVER,.
.
Police and health professionals have warned that a growing number of female circumcisions are being carried out in Britain even though the practice is illegal.
Experts estimate that between 500 and 2,000 UK girls face genital mutilation this summer, when they can be "cut" during the school break without anyone questioning their absence. Female genital mutilation involves the cutting off of girls' external genitalia, including the clitoris. Some 63,000 women in the UK have suffered genital mutilation and 20,000 girls are at risk.
The practice was outlawed in Britain in 1985 and taking children out of the country to have it performed was made illegal in 2003.
But the Observer has been told there is evidence it continues unabated among communities with links to African, Arab and Asian countries, and "cutting parties" are going on behind closed doors in Britain.
Jackie Mathers, a child protection nurse at NHS Bristol, told the Observer: "We have had intelligence that with the credit crunch, cutters are being paid to come over here and do children in a large number as it's cheaper than families taking flights to other countries."
One police source said he had heard of a girl as young as four weeks being subjected to genital mutilation and that there was a desperate desire to get a conviction. Frustration at the lack of action here is compounded by successful prosecutions abroad. The Observer has been told of two older women working as cutters in London.
