Did you read about the Waitrose employee who was sacked because he confronted a shop lifter ?  I didn't believe it either !  Apparently he's worked for the company for 17 years.

So would I, including the African bastard who hurt Rosie the kitten in Rome.    I didn't put it on here it's too disturbing, but I so hope they catch the wicked sub human who's responsible.

Lovely day here, great to sit out in the sun with my coffee     The brolly blew over in Storm Dave so I'm trying to clean it up a bit I think the crank handle thinggy is damaged though, one for my lad.  Re-potted some Rosemary plants, broke a clay pot in the process....

The story.

It was on Facebook, but I checked it out.

A Pakistani born Imam, based in Brescia, Italy, Imam Ali Kashif, went on Italian TV to defend a Muslims right to marry 9 year old girls. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni responded, she didn't come out to give a long talk, she simply gave orders to her men on the ground.

Imam Kashif was arrested, deported & woke up this morning to find himself in Pakistan.   

Bradford is about 1/3 Asian, 2/3 White.   Wiki shows the change over 50 years.  Of course some areas like Manningham are much higher.

"Spam, spam, spam, spam..." reminds me of an old Monty Python song from long ago.

At that time, they were thinking of a processed meat item rather than computer rubbish, of course.

Quote from: ansu on Yesterday at 11:31:41 PMIt's an interesting discussion, but look at the world - wars and starving in such a lot of places. Our basic law or whatever you call it prescribes that we have to help people in need. However, as someone put it, we can't save the whole world.
In the 50s and 60s we needed workers, so we looked for guest workers (Gastarbeiter) in Southern Europe and Turkey. Many of them stayed in Germany, others returned to their home countries when they retired.

I think that a similar thing here began in the '60s, but in our case it was largely from Pakistan.  The public seemed to refer to them generally as 'Pakis' anyway.
In the late '60s, my dad had an off-licence shop in Bradford (where we lived) and as time went on and the 'invasion' grew larger, he was forced to sell his shop (and our home), mainly because the 'Pakis' had opened their own shop on the next corner and very few, if any, people used our shop.  We moved away further south, though still in the same city.
That city is now probably more Pakistani than English.  I certainly wouldn't want to live there now.
