Heh, mind you in France they're having trouble with muslims in
hospitals shouting at, slapping or sometimes even beating up male
doctors who treat their wives, even in emergency situations.  They're
talking about putting more legislation in place to try and sort it
out.  Typical french, even their muslims are more prone to action than
ours, just like the farmers ;-)

Pet hate: the rules are being branded as racist, because somehow
muslims are a separate race...  I saw reports in the press of scottish
football fans who don't like english football teams being branded as
racist too, and just recently heard someone describe the church's
views over gay adoption as racist.  It seems that the word now means
"I don't like that".

On the BBC Have Your Say forum, in the discussion about supercasino
locations, there was a bit of criticism of Manchester as a dump.  Sure
enough, someone comes back with "all this criticism of Manchester, that's
racist, shouldn't be aloud on this board" ect ect.  As you say, racism now =
criticism of any kind, or even expressing an opinion.

The song includes the lines: "We want to accept ethnics, but not at any
price... if you're not happy with your fate, there's a place called the
airport."

PMSL...  I think every country should have that line inserted into their
constitution!
