JonW Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I was just sent this as an email. Apparently it is taken from one of our tabloids. I am unsure what to make of it but wondered what opinions on here are. I have a very much live and let live attitude but not sure quite what this is saying!?!? I agree that everyone should be able to show pride in their nationality/religion without it offending anyone. >> >After many cities not wanting to offend other cultures by putting up >>xmas >> >lights. >> > >> >After hearing that the Birmingham council changed its opinion and >> >let >>a >> >Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's license with her face >> >covered. >> > >> >After hearing of a Primary School in Birmingham where a boy was told >>that >> >for PE they could wear Football League shirts (Aston >> >Villa,Birmingham, >>West >> >Brom etc) but NOT an England shirt as it could offend others ! >> > >> >This prompted the editorial below written by a UK citizen.

It's spelled Britons for those who missed school last season. He didn't even bother to clear the text from the brackets.

SuperSupra Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 There was a certain person who did not take kindly to CJ posting this up in the first place, and decided to abuse several forum members via PM's so lets hope he's not reading this today eh! How about a quick edit of the original post, that aught to do the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Prawn Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 How about a quick edit of the original post, that aught to do the trick! Ok then, well CJ posted something and others agreed and some didn't. Then CJ sat back and didn't post all day and someone got very upset. That someone said things, then said they didn't say things and then said they could say things and then said that they wouldn't. Then CJ joined back in to upset that someone because the someone doesn't like the Welshman. Then someone else got threatening e-mails from the first someone and then we all went to bed and a mod closed the thread. Then the next day it was nearly re-opened and silly postings made sure that it didn't get out of hand. I hope that covers everything and that all is clear now.
