Re: One Step Too Far
I don't agree with changing our traditional bank holidays to suit the Moslem population of the UK. It is a case of 'where do we draw the line?' The UK has a vast Chinese population, Manchester houses the biggest Chinese population outside of China (according to news reports at Chinese New Year). You don't hear the Chinese whinging about the lack of their own special bank holidays. Would every Australian living in the UK then demand Anzac Day as their own bank holiday? Would every American want to observe Flag Day?
The list of worldwide holidays is endless. If we were to change things for one section of the community it would be discriminatory not to include all of the others.
