So why not attend a few? The mela for instance is for everyone not just Asian immgrants. The thing at the Town Hall last Saturday was for anyone and everyone. This project is about everybody.

I don't see how that has any bearing on this project. We own this house too and have to maintain it. That's normal when you own a house. Sometimes everything seems to go wrong at once and we get snowed under with things needing replacing or repairing. I sat here freezing when the boiler didn't work for several days so you have my sympathy if your house is cold, but how would not doing this project improve your situation? If you feel you are being passed by in favour of others less deserving than you then by all means take it up with whoever is in charge of whatever isn't being done.

You are assured of a big future in politics if you can justify £11,000 so lightly.

Re: 11grand to discuss multiculturilism
 
all due respect willow but we are talking about justifying 11 grand to gather accringtonians views on why they live here. its outrageous and again hwill do nothing for community relations in fact the council should look at their own appointments re integration and should be ashamed as the portfolio holder for community cohesion barely speaks a word of ENGLISH! try phoning him if you are unfortunate enough to be in his council ward .how will he communicate to non asians and younger generation asians. forget melas the council should get its priorityies right its a mafia as far as im concerned

It was nothing to do with the council. That's the point I keep trying to get across.

If any bog standard 'Brit' cares about how Asians celebrate EID, I shall be very much supprised, most of us have had enough of it being shoved down our throats, cellebrate by all means but not at my expense.

Well maybe some people will be surprised at what people are really like as opposed to what they think they are like. :) The photographer who came to our church was quite surprised at us lot anyway! :D

no willo it has got links to the council who help create half of this nonsense and the jobs for people who supposedly harmonise our communities. ive no probs with one off eid functions but it seems every other week some sort of function is going on with all the same people benefiting. how is that creating change

Re: 11grand to discuss multiculturilism
 
Could you be more specific because I've not actually been aware of any events which were exclusive. I must have missed them.

So what was Kashmiri day all about then and how much did it cost the council?
