So that idea had been tried and not worked it seems.

No they weren’t.

But according to the report:
“All members of Tower Hamlets Council in east London, where 36 per cent of the population follows Islam, were sent an email asking them to abide by the restrictions observed by strict Muslims during the holy month.

They have also been told that the town hall's business agenda will be reduced throughout Ramadan to accommodate Muslims, with only seven committee meetings scheduled and special prayer breaks included in the evening events.”

I take “abide by the restrictions” to mean no eating by anyone until after sunset.

I take “special prayer breaks included in the evening events” to mean that whilst the Muslim councillors break off for a prayer session the rest of the councillors sit around doing nothing.

But the Islamic community don’t have to do anything these days because the PC brigade will do it all for them for fear of what will happen if they don’t.
