Quote from: muddy on Today at 08:22:44 AMRicky Gervais
What a great person he is .
He says it as it is .
But apart from that he is a great advocate against cruelty to animals .
And he puts his money where his mouth is .
He has just donated $180,000 to help free the last 150 bears kept on Vietnamese bile  farms .
This unspeakable cruelty means the bears are kept in tiny cages where they can hardly move for decades while their bike is extracted for traditional medicine .
A man of both compassion and action
Yes, sounds like a good bloke.
I am a great supporter of actions against those people who are cruel to animals, all animals.
Taking the bears' bikes away is particularly nasty, though!  Circus bears, I assume?

Thenks.  Actually, she does mumble a little bit in her sleep, but she doesn't remember it in the morning.  Perhaps she's used to it.

Quote from: GrannyMac on Today at 06:46:31 AMSame for the North West.  There are areas of Cheshire similar. 
Absolutely.  Fortunately, our little bit is nothing like Bradford.  It's why we're here!

My three recent visits to the seedy side of Bristol were depressing .
Seeing woman dressed like medieval African rag bags was not inspiring .
Faces covered but a smart phone tucked into the head covering ?

Averages can be very misleading. This 6% figure, even if it's correct, hides the fact that some areas have zero moslems while parts of some cities and London boroughs have nearly 100%. Some schools in those parts have 100% or slightly less moslem pupils. Goodness knows how they recognise their mothers when they come to collect them.

Quote from: JBR on Yesterday at 08:30:42 PMI mentioned Bradford.  The figure for Yorkshire and the Humber, being 8.1%, doesn't tell the full tale about Bradford.  Yorkshire is a vast county, largely rural.  The places where muslims are prevalent are not out in the countryside, but in many cities and especially in certain areas of those cities.  Although I don't know the percentage of muslims in Bradford, but I do know that certainly in some parts of the city, they are certainly in the majority.
Same for the North West.  There are areas of Cheshire similar.
