The French causing probelms again.

So who else on here thinks it is acceptable for a serving member of the British armed forces to be moved to a more discreet area while waiting for treatment at A&E in a UK hospital just incase it would cause offence to others in A&E.



This is bollocks, are we going to ban remembrance Sunday next just incase we offend the Muslim, Asian and Germans who live in the UK.

Unless I am viewing a different News Channel than the likes of Val those being welcomed with open arms into Germany were Syrians or from other middle east countries, and yes a lot of Syrians do have striking blue eyes. Merkel has really not helped with her statement, 800,000 bet she did not expect them to try and turn up in the first week

Anyone else think Putin was wrong here . Wish our politicians had the same kind of balls. On February 4th, 2013, Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, addressed the Duma,
(Russian Parliament), and gave a speech about the tensions with minorities in Russia:
"In Russia live Russians. Any minority, from anywhere, if it wants to live in Russia, to work and eat in Russia, should speak Russian, and should respect the Russian laws. If they prefer Shari ‘a Law, then we advise them to go to those places where that's the state law. Russia does not need minorities. Minorities need Russia, and we will not grant them special privileges, or try to change our laws to fit their desires, no matter how loud they yell 'discrimination'. We better learn from the suicides of America, England, Holland and France, if we are to survive as a nation. The Russian customs and traditions are not compatible with the lack of  culture or the primitive ways of most minorities. When this ??honourable??  legislative body thinks of creating new laws, it should have in mind the national interest first, observing that the minorities are not Russians.  The politicians in the Duma gave Putin a standing ovation for five minutes!

I wonder how many who shout folk like me down have actually ever lived , or worked with different ethnic groups or have they just been abroad for their two weeks holiday.

Slaninar have you started to pack yet, you want to earn a decent living , which you and others are entitled to, the German Chancellor has said all are welcome.
