Thats the do gooders of society trying to please the muslims again. If you come and live in Great Britain you abide by our laws and tradions for if we lived in yours we would have to. Im fed up with muslims this, muslims that, this Human Rights buisness is to blame and who brought it in Tony Blair and what party LABOUR, this government is for muslims not British, bloody disgusted with it all I am

this is more right-on do-gooder BS. have any muslims directly objected to this title? last march a school in Kirklees Yorkshire changed a song title in Roald Dahl's version of Little Red Riding Hood for similar reasons and was ordered to change it back by local councillors.

EVERY DAY WE HEAR OF THIS AND YET NOTHING CHANGES...

And what is going to stop this? From what I see, nothing. Or not until things get horribly out of control. Either way, it's not looking good.

SLIGHTLY OFF-TOPIC BUT...

I found this article extremely interesting...

It's a perfect illustration of just how far removed from reality our educationalists really are.

Be warned, though. Some of you might well be shocked by what you are about to read.

3 LITTLE PIGS

No of course it is not offensive, but the same rules should be applied across the board, therefore if I find Halal meat offensive, then all Halal shops should be either shut down or removed from my sight. What if I find the Koran offensive, should it be removed from sale?
We all know the answer to the 2 questions above don't we. I would air drop 5 million copies of the Three little pigs into Iran and ask their opinion. Not that I'd give a toss what they thought.

THIS JUST HAS TO STOP!!!

31.01.08, 7:38am

Let me see if I have this straight........we're engaged in a war against Muslim Radicals who will stop at nothing to subvert our values, faith and way of life and this moron does not want to offend them!!!!!!!
So glad I'm living in the US now because these PC make me sick to my stomach. Perhaps if Mr Brown want's to come out to Iraq we could show him the severed heads thrown by the roadsides and he might change his tune.

PC GONE BARMY MORE LIKE

30.01.08, 12:31pm

Why is it that when Muslims say jump we always say how high?
Why does it matter if they are offended or outraged, we can get offended and outraged too and often are . We become very outraged when we hear of stoning people to death ,beheading people ,cutting off limbs, and the rest, it puts our children's nursery rhymes iobjections in perspective doesn't. Just tell them to pack it in ,we are no longer going to jump and if things here are not to their liking go elsewhere where it is , we wll not try and stop them

So a story about 3 little pigs are offensive to Muslims, according to the PC goverment agency, let us put a stop to the lunacy, it is a childs story.
If Muslims find it offensive that is thier problem, not mine.
They have a choise if they do not like our way of life or Country they can leave.

3 PIGS BEAT UP THE WICKED WOLF - GREAT STORY

27.01.08, 5:48pm

This was done by a Government agency. not as far as I know by Muslims themselves, I mean they don't need to, the ridiculous PC mafia do it for them.

I think we should now call him Gordon "PC" Brown PM. He should retire to Scotland and like his predecessor change his religion but McBrown should convert to Islam!


Don't the PC mafia realise that their actions only increase anti Islamic feelings amongst All other religions.

Thanks for your concern ;-)
It's ok, I can be a bit "offensive" (direct) at times and I expect to be pulled for it when 'those with delicate sensibilities' complain.
I can be very patient too, but If I think it's totally unfair I'll ask the Express why.

On this topic - everything about us is offensive to the religion-of-peace, and this is exploited by the muslim vote-chasing liblabcon-trick and its anti-white racist pc brigade.
It will get much worse too if people keep voting for it.
