Firstly this is a top-not...I'll say two things. Firstly this is a top-notch, first class example of idiotic, bigoted churnalism - finding a story on the web which enforces your pre-existing views and repeating it without having done the slightest bit of actual research to find out whether it was true or not.<br /><br />I refer you to the council's official statement on the swimming pool story and subsequent media rewrite<br />http://www.walsall.gov.uk/news/leisure_chief_refutes_darlaston_leisure_centre_claims.htm<br /><br />and I refer you to a very good article which highlights the idiocy and untruths within the media reporting<br /><br />http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/2010/07/non-story-about-local-pool-forces.html<br /><br />Both of these articles are exceptionally easy to find with a some basic Googling, something you clearly couldn't be arsed to do.<br /><br />Secondly, I have no problem with people writing as much panic stricken fear mongering articles about their own country - but please stay the hell away from mine. I can't tell you how many woefully inaccurate US rightwing columns I have found convinced that the UK is the in the throes of Sharia Law, that Muslims rule the country and that the Queen is fearful for her life.<br /><br />Sharia Law is about as likely to occur here as Che Guevara coming back from the dead to instigate a communist takeover of the US. It is rubbish, nonsense and total and utter bullshit.<br /><br />Be paranoid about your own country if you wish, but quit spreading lies and bigotry about mine when you clearly haven't got a clue what you're talking about.Quincyhttp://worldforsale.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
