On Facebook a new production at the Civic Arts Centre showed on my page. Having an interest in theatre, I thought I'd have a look.

As part of the International Woman's Week, something that's already divisive and separatist in my opinion, but that's for another thread, they have a production called Hurried Steps, the stories of eight women, as reported to Amnesty International.

shows

It states it's presented by the New Shoes Theatre in association with the Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women.

Who are the Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women? Thought I. Seeing as they're part funded by the council tax payer, via Lancashire County Council.

Handily they have a website.

Lancashire Wide Network for Minority Ethnic Women

Which has a link to their latest newsletter.

http://www.lwnmew.org.uk/minority_et...n/issue_79.pdf

All kinds of lovely things. Coffee and cake mornings, boosting self confidence courses. Even a five week course on complementary therapies.

If you like the sound of it, might be worth signing up for one of their courses.

Only one problem.

All these things are only open to 'BME ladies'.

Meaning black, and minority ethnic women, exclusively.

This is just the sort of blindly ignorant liberalism that fuels peoples' support for extremist political groups.

If we are to have integration for all, then these divisive, publicly funded separatists organisations, need to be outlawed now.

We have laws that make racism a crime.

They are supposed to apply equally to everyone.

Apparently they don't.

At least in Lancashire.
