    I don't see why people get so upset - I live in a predominatley muslim area (Tower Hamlets) and I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have seen women wearing the burqa in the last five years.

    What were you doing in Asda anyway? Are you a permie?

    What a load of cobblers!. I lived in Northampton for 3 years and I never saw a burqa! And I went there just a few weeks ago for a weekend and never noticed any.

    And surely I WOULD have noticed them, as they would have been causing public disorder!!

    Knackers!

    And lilElvis was talking about Holland anyway, where there is only like 5% Muslim, and out of them, hardly any who even wear he Burqa.

    Double knackers.

    Did you feel like a stranger in your own land?

    Now we are seeing the growth of positive forces acting against integration, of vested interests in the preservation and sharpening of racial and religious differences, with a view to the exercise of actual domination, first over fellow-immigrants and then over the rest of the population. The cloud no bigger than a man's hand, that can so rapidly overcast the sky, has been visible recently in Wolverhampton and has shown signs of spreading quickly.

    To claim special communal rights (or should they say rites?) leads to a dangerous fragmentation within society. This communalism is a canker; whether practised by one colour or another it is to be strongly condemned."

    Here is the means of showing that the immigrator communities can organise to consolidate their members, to agitate and campaign against their fellow citizens, and to overawe and dominate the rest with the legal weapons which the ignorant and the ill-informed have provided. As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood".

    In the same way masked men in the wild west and hoodies in Lakeside cause trouble.

    Rather than discriminating against Islamics, all ugly woman of whatever religion, ethnic group should be compelled to wear veils, burqas or whatever to hide their coupons. Problem solved.
