February 12, 2006 at 13:54 #98303You should be in Harrow when England play Pakistan, India or Srl Lanka at cricket.
From what you’ve said about it, I wouldn’t ever want to be in Harrow.
However, when Pakistan visit the UK this year, I’ll try to get along to the Grange for the match against Scotland.
It should be a fantastic atmosphere with so many Pakistanis in Edinburgh.
See, the thing is, I don’t regard them supporting the Pakistan team as much different from the Chinese community here celebrating chinese new year a couple of weeks ago.
It’s not the end of society as we know it, just an expression of part of their identity.<br> <br>Steve

Which is exactly what I said. And since we can all be classified into groups on the basis of racial characteristics doesn’t that mean we are all ethnics?

Original 1829 guiding principles for the Metropolitan Police:<br>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br>The police seek and preserve public favour, not by catering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolute impartial service to the law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws; by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of society without regard to their race or social standing.<br><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Both advocate a policy of "colour blind" ness –  ie individuals should be treated equally and judged only according to their actual behaviour.
Then:
UK, 1997 : New Labour elected, brings  political correctness into government. ÂÂÂ
1999:  the  Macpherson report finds"institutional racism" in the Metropolitan Police in London and the government decides:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><br>Justice in a modern and diverse society must be "colour conscious", not "colour blind"<br><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
‘racial’ incident is redefined to mean "any event which is said to be ‘racial’ by a witness or participant". ÂÂÂ
Truth or falsehood as to whether it was in fact racial becomes a secondary consideration to the fact someone has used the "r" word.
Claiming a ‘racial’ aspect to an event becomes an easy way for those in a difficult spot to switch the focus away from themselves  –  burglars assert it against houseowners;  children against teachers/ care workers;  benefit claimants against benefit officers; employees with an eye to the half-chance against employers etc.   <br>  <br>The police get drawn into whole new areas of investigation.  <br> <br>Has it been a recipe for good community relations and racial harmony?
LM says not on his doorstep in Harrow.
GH and others say things look fine in Scotland.
<br>The 2001 census figures for Scotland class 95% of the population as combined White Scottish and Other White British:

<br>The 2001 census figures for Harrow class just 49.9% of the population as White British:

<br>Reasonable to suppose that Harrow will have been impacted more by the change than Scotland, so that respective experiences will have been very different ?
Not sure what the various references to "b*****ks" add.

For your query, a quick email to GRO Scotland has now yielded a spreadsheet with the following:
Edinburgh – 90.38% White British<br>(78.92% White Scottish, 11.46% Other White British)
<br>Glasgow –  90.77% White British<br>( 87.15% White Scottish, 3.62% Other White British)

February 13, 2006 at 12:55 #98311Edinburgh – 90.38% White British <br>(78.92% White Scottish, 11.46% Other White British)
So, 5 years ago, I was in a minority of only 9.62% in Edinburgh?
That’s a surprise. I would have thought it was bigger.

February 13, 2006 at 14:08 #98312Does anyone believe me now!
You really do have to live in it to see it.
BTW. Since 2001 the percentages have changed a lot. And there not going backwards.

February 13, 2006 at 14:56 #98314Hoppy, there’s a reason why the west of Scotland is a s**t
ehole and the east is ok. It’s because the vikings settled in the east and left the west alone.(who the ****
would want to rape and pillage in the west? – they’ve nothing worth stealing and their women are minging)Now, the short arsed ginger types might not like it, but we’re here to stay.
You can’t step onto a maroon-and-white-limo these days, without hearing Polish and assorted other Eastern European accents
Isn’t it a bit disppointing that there aren’t more "lookers"?
I’ve been to Eastern Europe and it’s rife with talent and the au pairs and assorted others were of a high quality until the EU expansion.
But the E Europeans that come here now are almost as ugly as the locals.
I can’t wait until the Prix du Jockey club when I’ll be around the beautiful people…..

February 13, 2006 at 16:36 #98316Paris was also a bit disappointing on the trim front.
You were obviously in the wrong places (the tourist parts).
It’s a bit like Prague, you can go there and think that the Czech women aren’t up to much, but you’re probably looking at foreigners. Get on the trams in the morning rush hour and they’re chock-a-block with talent.
Go to the right places and the Paris women look fantastic.
Having said that, I’ve never gone out with a French woman who didn’t turn out to be a phenomenal pain in the arse.

Steve, I really dont think there was any need to add the word "French" in that sentence! :(
