Where have you been for the last decade!?

You've just realized!
Where have you been for the last decade!?
Stuff like this makes me very angry and normally I climb to the top of my highest soap box. From that soap box I would normal start spouting on about
'Britishness' and 'national pride', but today I am quite tired so I will merely comment
'Pah'
That whole article made me laugh.... should it have done? 
i agree...in fact, im now a member of a new religion, called a1-ism, where i get to pick and choose what I do. we have many paid holidays and wear
what we want to work. were exempt of speed limits, cause the mighty one said we have to go everywhere at no less than 100mph, and we cannot be fined
for motoring offences, cause it would be religion-ist.
anyone joining?

on a more serious note, hopefully the government cuts will get rid of people who sit around making up cr*p like that.
How ridiculous.

whatever takes your fancy! if you want to wear a bikini top, the new lord wont mind!
I have no time for religionists and their practices. If they wish to do something that most sane and rational people find stupid/funny then let them
get on with it, however when it affects anyone else then they should be politely told to SOD OFF.

The oddest thing about that article is not really about religion.
Here's a question for you. If you are going to a public swimming pool, do you not drink the water for Religious reasons, or that fact its
probably got loads of wee in it.

I agree completely Craig... God is Love we are told, yet if I lead a completely humble and helpful life I will still not get to enter his paradise
just because I didn't acknowledge him. No... he is apparently so self-centered that unless I submit to him, then he will have me tortured for
all eternity!
Doesn't sound like a particularly nice chap to me!
ignorant infidel!!

You do seem to had missed the problem in this story quite spectacularly. This is not a problem with Muslims demanding something. It is a problem with ignorant city councillors doing something really stupid out of fear of something they don't understand. The problem is the moron on the council who thought this was a good idea, not with the people whose "sensitivities" he thinks he is "protecting".
Having worked in many Muslim countries during Ramadan I'm 99.9% certain they all drank water during daylight hours ? Maybe wrong but I'm sure the guys I worked with did.
is living life not enough for some people

I like that T-shirt, where do I get one??
Religion is for insecure gullibles who dont like the idea of having control of their own fate and NO LIFE AFTER DEATH.
I really didnt want to be sucked in. . . . .and I have . . . . . .
Sorry
What makes me chortle is that very few schools will actually have pupils in them during the month of August.....so the whole article is pointless for
99% of the UK population....
Instead, a number of the kids will be hanging around street corners and indulging in under age binge drinking....
The world will be so much more peaceful when religion is given the oh so far back seat it deserves.
Can I recommend to any Sky viewers to watch some of the religious channels - about 5 minutes should be enough!
All hail Charles Darwin/Richard Dawkins etc etc

It's nothing to do with being PC. It has everything to do with the school/council/idiotic bureaucracy making an excuse to cut services to the local taxpayers.
Talking of cuts - the Muslim Council of Britain has been funded by the taxpayer to the tune of about £500,000 in the last 5 years or so.... perhaps a
good place to start looking for savings??

im sure the people who make these stupid calls/articles are trying to make the gullible public hate muslims. The muslims i know would scoff at such a stupid idea.
I wondered this , isn't Stoke and Staffs an area with some BNP MPs?
