    This is just so wrong!

    I really, really dont know where to begin.

    People need to realise that it may be acceptable to wear these things in countries other than the UK but when you are here, whether you are born here, come here and settle here, you abide by our rules and dont try and impose your rules on us.

    Frankly, its no wonder some 'political' parties are starting to make inroads in our society.


    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...ian-judge.html

    Sir Mota Singh QC spoke out after a number of Sikhs were refused entry to schools and other venues because they were wearing the Kirpan or other religious artefacts.

    Last year, a 14-year-old Sikh boy was refused entry to the Compton School in Barnet after governors ruled his Kirpan was a health and safety risk.
    I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

          Yes, and a Sgian Dubh if it is part of your ethnic dress.

            I'm sure these fellows would fit in much better.
            And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

              Er, proves my point exactly! Anyone else carry a knife in public would be charged as being in possession of an offensive weapon.

                Not if it is part of your ethnic dress.

                    Exactly. One rule for some. What next, the burkha!? Sorry, if you want to wear your ethnic dress, you're free to do this in the comfort of your own home.

                    Out in public, no way.
