Why tactless? As a none white person I find the leaders of that town abhorrent and frightening. You are a Jew so why don't you find such a thing abhorrent and frightening too?



I lived in Hackney knowing that my Orthodox Jewish neighbours wanted nothing to do with me. I accepted the way they practised their culture which was very different to mine. The Jewish people of Hackney don't insist on people changing their culture to be more fitting with their own and so they didn't need to approach their borough council to check that would be ok!

I also lived just off Mile End Rd and although my Muslim neighbours were cordial with me, I had to accept that their culture was very different to my own. Just like the Jews, the Muslim people of Mile End Rd don't insist on people changing their culture to be more fitting with their own and so they don't need to approach their borough council and check if that's ok.

I find it strange that in large mixed communities we all seem to just get on with things and yet when I visit relatives in Harrogate which has a majority white Christian community, I meet racists by the dozen.

How convenient for you in the context of this debate..
