A little Christmas cheer

From the BBC:-

A Christian couple from Lancashire have been awarded £10,000 in an out-of-court settlement after they were questioned by police about their moral beliefs.
Helen and Joe Roberts, from Fleetwood, complained about taxpayers’ money being used for leaflets about gay rights and called homosexuality “immoral”.

Wyre Borough Council informed Lancashire Constabulary. Officers then quizzed the couple for over an hour.

The council and police said they had now apologised to the Roberts.

They also said policies had been revised to protect all parties.

I rather doubt that “all parties” claim. “All parties” can only be treated equally if the decisions in specific cases are free of minority nepotism. I just don’t believe that minorities who retain their ethnocentic (or faith-centric) worldviews can be as fair and self-abnegating as, regrettably, we are. Like all councils Wyre (PDF) has its Equality Action Plan. But how, exactly, could it implement a race-blind policy of council employment? Does not equality imply merit under Britain’s current laws? How is that possible if a nepotistic Pakistani happens to be taking the hiring decisions? Genuine equality would require a certain standard in how races view themselves and eachother, and of course it does not exist. Nor can it.

The same is true of any Marxistically-embattled minority viz-a-vis the majority.

Still, it’s good to see the Council and Lancashire Police forced into humility this time. One must hope that a few egalitarian wings have been clipped.

The other cause for some Christmas cheer is this story from The Times:-

Vandana Poria’s only regret is that she didn’t leave Britain sooner.

The ambitious businesswoman is just one of a generation of British Indians who, in a reversal of the economic migration of their parents, are deserting Britain for new opportunities on the booming subcontinent.

Just as her father and the young bride he met through an arranged marriage left Delhi to come to London 40 years ago, so Mrs Poria has forsaken life in Tooting, South London, to set up her own business in the city of Pune.

“India has this buzz about it right now,” said the 35-year-old chartered accountant. “My mother-in-law still thinks we’ll head back soon, but my parents understand that we are actually doing quite well out here.

“At the end of the day, they left to make a better life for themselves and their kids, and that’s exactly what we are doing — just the opposite way.”

According to a recent report by the Institute of Public Policy Research, 2.7 million British nationals left Britain to live abroad between 1966 and 2005. Around 32,000 are now living in India, with industries across the professional spectrum experiencing an influx of Britons hoping to make their fortune in their parents’ homeland.

So how do we turn this into chain emigration?

And a little Xmas laughter—Jim Bowery in particular may be interested in these claims from discussion of the Kriss Donald article on Wikipedia:

Post-colonial studies and sociology of race have the same status with regard to “racially-motivated” killings that physics has with regard to gravity or astronomy with regard to planets. The “facts of the case” are those revealed by serious scientific investigation. Anti-racist and postcolonial theories make up a significant portion of serious academic inquiry into racism. ... The situation here is thus NOT analogous to that of, say, BNP views on Anthony Walker, or Kilroy-Silk’s views on Islam; it is more akin to the situation which would arise regarding evolution and Creationism if a majority of the population, politicians, courts and media happened to support Creationism. The critics of my edits would logically have to maintain in this case that the majority opinion among scientists researching the area would have to be treated as a “tiny minority opinion” and effectively excluded.

SoSueM,

Wikipedia reflects much of the leftism endemic in our universities, sadly. There are plenty of similar examples of Marxist or Marxised political extremists visiting their sickness upon Wiki. I’m working on a post at present about late romantic music and found this page, with a list of composers. Count the women who you’ve never heard of:-

Meanwhile, I wonder how the Wiki leftists originally reacted to the recent story of a racist attack by four white youths in Edinburgh upon a poor, defenceless Sikh boy. You remember the case? They cut off his hair - a particularly personal humiliation for a Sikh.

Alas for the anti-racist self-haters there will be NO prosecutions:-

A 15-year-old Sikh boy who claimed he had his hair cut off by racist thugs has admitted he made the attack up.
The boy from Edinburgh reported the alleged racist attack in November and the case was widely publicised.

The cutting of his hair was an act which was seen as deeply insulting to the Sikh faith.

Lothian and Borders Police confirmed the attack had not taken place and said the boy had expressed remorse. They said no further action would be taken.

More than 200 Sikhs from around the UK gathered in Edinburgh to hold a two-hour prayer vigil following the boy’s claims.

The boy had originally said he had been subjected to racial abuse in the park before being kicked to the ground by four white youths.

The rest of the story is here:-
