    I'd like to become like Liam Gallagher and take over the world with my Manchester accent.

    The WWW thingy stands for World Wide Web so people here heard about it:p
    Indeed, but the photo that you linked to specifically and emphatically mentions Ireland, which is why I asked why it would be related to that Starbucks story.

    Do you really think so?
    Why?
    Im not in a position to doubt you as I dont live there but I travel all over the UK and have witnessed very little to make me have such fears.
    What we do see a lot is hysterical and always debunked yarns like Fox News stating that white people no longer live in birMINGhamm as it is now a Muslim city:rolleyes:

    Seen this posted by 2 people both who now live in other countries. Don't think they got the irony in that

    Yup. And Im simply wondering has this non issue contributed in any way to the sudden need for apparently embattled Irish citizens to fear for their Christmas as well.

    I love the irony of people proclaiming their Christianity telling people to F;uck Off in the next sentence.
    Thats what Jesus would do alright.

    Obviously won't happen on a country wide basis but having lived in a majority conservative Islamic area of London for couple of months, it sucked, majority of pubs closed, hard to get pork bearly everything halal, old cinema that in a different area would have been turned into hipster wine bar or cafe was an Islamic study center (cant remember actual title). Loads of fully veiled women,you never ever saw gay couples there.
    Basically it was everything that progressives hate but hey they weren't living there.
    Turkish areas were meant to be alright though (AFAIK it was pakistani Afghan and Bangladeshi where I was)

    Pubs shut in an area where a lot of people don't drink? Pork products difficult to come by in an area where the majority don't eat pork? Colour me fckin' astounded.

    It's hard to find Murphy's outside Cork, you know.

    Yes, the less than 5% of the UK that is muslim is due to take over any day now. Maybe they'll give us the north back when they do because it's such a vanguard of Christianity.

    by 2050 Muslims could very possibly be a majority in the UK ..

    I hear if you don't bless your pork and lock it in a safe then a Muslim will come during the night and steal your teabags.

    My favourite part is that the image was just stolen from a google image search and has a big dirty watermark on it.

    Person owns shop. No one in area served by shop eats pigmeat. Shop stops selling stock pigmeat.

    Person owns old cinema. Person lets building to highest bidder. Tenant opens study centre.

    Explain how this is left wing, because I can see the invisible hand at work here.

    Even if you were to take these stats at face value, which I'm not inclined to do as I like question the possible political agenda of the person writing up these pieces, their level of expertise and the validity and reliability of the stats they're using, 26 million is still not the majority.

    The argument presented in the link is complete fiction. A net increase of about a million Muslims in the UK over the course of a decade only happens through births or immigration, neither of which scale in the way the writer thinks they do. It's utter idiocy.

    I dunno about the nastiest but a few "new irish" randomers and the old reliables in the RC and the totally not RC Iona Institute locked arms to combat the horrors of something that had no potential at all to effect their lives and got told to **** off at the ballot.

    Where were you in London that you couldn't find rashers by the way? I've lived all over East London and never had a problem finding them, and I eat enough of them to be concerned by the WHO warnings!

    Could get sh-t stuff in Co-Op and Tesco, butchers subway etc were Halal.
    To be honest lack of pork wasn't a big issue, my point is its an area that was deeply unappealing for anybody that spouts enlightened thinking to actually live, I'm sure it would be sh-t living in an area dominated by fundamentalist Christians or Jews too and as I said more secular Muslim communities like Turks seemed to be make for nice areas.
    Your going to know way more about London than me (wasn't there long) obviously,but the impression I was given was that traditionally the Irish and Afro-caribeans got on very well due to cultural similarities (and the way the English thought we were both violent lazy drunks =-O )
    Thankfully in Ireland we don't seem to Ghettoised as much.
    It was close to Forest Gate.

    I'm guessing your an independent woman that considers yourself an open tolerant feminist secular who can wear whatever she likes. Move somewhere like that and get back to me on how you feel.


    On the really nasty anti-SSM litrature there was a thread on boards about one of the leaflets, and know from someone living out in west Dublin too.

    What's the justification for the snide reply to that poster?

    Soon Brits will need to ask the local iman for permission to drink a pint of ale and eat a pork pie.

    The hilarious thing is the liberal types love to hear about these areas even though gays and women have no rights. Can't make this **** up.

    You seem to be doing just fine in the making stuff up stakes.

    That's not happening in London or anywhere else in the UK, nor is it happening anytime 'soon'.

    That's happening on another planet, one that most of us know we don't live on.

    You know, I have a notion that what is happening here-and-there is that many Muslim women, particularly the younger ones, are getting on with education and careers, integrating nicely with Western society, and telling the bearded, shrieking Imam types to shunt off. Just as well - you haven't tasted lamb unless it's served by a Tuareg. We need a few more Bedouin Arabs knocking about, those guys are cool. :cool:

    Is it just a coincidence that this
    is popping up on Facebook just after the Star Bucks hysteria??

    Mmm. Maybe I've defriended all the wrong people and don't read the right papers but WTF is the "Starbucks hysteria"?
