What really gets me is that this local Muslim leader can say, in all seriousness -

"It's a tolerance of people's beliefs".

So what happened to tolerance of OUR beliefs? I was brought up on Winnie the Pooh - long before the majority of the poeple whose beliefs WE are expected to tolerate ever thought of living here.

Tolerance works both ways, or should. We are selling our souls in the name of political correctness.

I HAVE A PIG ON MY DESK - AND IT'S STAYING THERE!!!

(If I didn't have one, I would probably have gone out and bought one after reading this.)

Can we start a move amongst Accywebbers to revive the old Lancashire tradition of fattening a pig in the back yard? - there was a time when everybody kept a pig, fed it on the household leavings, and then killed it for food (link with Meat Stinks, anyone?). One family would kill their pig and share it out amongst the neighbours, and then the next pig to be killed would be shared out, etc, and so on. This is one of my beliefs, that we should be able to revive this. How much tolerance do you think I will get from our Muslim spokesman friend?
