would rather he was a) sold in January, or b) signed up for another three years?

I would assume that a club the size of ours would have plans in place to cover every eventuality
We would have sold him in the summer if we could have gto the TL deal done, so all AW's comments about wanting to keep him are just for sound bites and he knows full well that he is leaving within the next 7 months
I think it's possible that we already do an adequate amount to help them integrate, what with them having all the freedoms to follow their own paths in life that they would be denied in their home country.
I also treat the suggestion with disdain, since it is clearly intended as a fudge designed to divert attention away from the true root causes that dare not speak their name.
One suspects that there is little that can be done about it now, save allowing the police to prosecute those responsible.
Someone decided that what we needed, whether we wanted it or not, was a multi-cultural society, where each culture was to be considered as valid as our established indigenous culture.
Well done! A triumph!
I would probably start by discouraging public officials from abandoning thousands of girls to the depredations of Muslim rape gangs, inspired and motivated by Islamic teachings on the treatment of infidel women, for fear of being called "racist" and "Islamophobic".
Seems like a decent place to start, no?
Yes, but we could at least create an environment in which they do not feel persecuted. Because we've seen what happens when we don't . A man can only take reading so many bigoted Daily Mail headlines before he's inclined to lash out at someone - and if that someone happens to be an underage girl and lashing out involves sticking his ***** in them and calling them "white trash" then I for one feel that the onus is on us to do something about it.
It is rather difficult to impose values on someone, isnt it? Is that not one of the major issues with the whole multicultural debate, the PC agenda, the 'conspiracy of silence' over Brexit?
The issue is more 'these are our values, these are our customs, these are our laws- **** with them at your peril and expect to face the full consequences'.
I understand that you and Monty will say that the reluctance of officials to tackle these breaches is rooted in the fear of being branded racist/islamophobic/a bad person and that we need to tackle that first. I agree, but this is where you tackle that reluctance- in upholding the law.
How do you ever get someone to change their actions? You persuade them to do so. In the case of public officials engaging in a systematic cover up of child rapes, I would encourage them to consider whether their fear of being called "racist" and "Islamophobic" morally justifies them engaging in such a cover up.
Of course, I am relatively powerless, but the problem is that even those who do have the potential to change attitudes are silenced as well.
I think I would be more kindly disposed to these moslem chaps if they desisted from wearing their pyjamas during the daytime. Difficult to trust a chap that spends the whole day in his nightwear.
Furthermore my wife says that men wearing sandals all the time usually have no intention of doing any work.
I wholly concur, but would take issue with your distinction between the law and our culture. Our law is to a large extent a manifestation of our culture and there is little doubt that there has been and remains a politically-led reluctance to uphold it where Islamic communities are concerned. This reluctance is what has allowed things like the rape gangs and FGM to flourish. Our authorities - be it national government, the judiciary, police, education bodies or local government - have deliberately prioritised 'sensitivity' towards one ethno-religious group above the upholding of the law. In doing so, they have abandoned huge numbers of victims and in fact served to heighten ethnic tensions across the board. This policy - and there can be little doubt it has amounted to a policy - has been a disgraceful example of identity politics being allowed to trump justice, decency and the duty of a state to protect its citizens.
Won't even get £20million for him. The only hope is that other clubs know he'll go to City in the summer if they don't act now and offer us silly money to get him in Jan. But then if it's true that he only has eyes for Pep then he'd just turn them down and get £400k+ per week from August.
The law is the law. Culture is a catch all term that can be used t define pretty anything that isnt written down. One may flow from the other (or may not) but without question there is a distinction to be made between the two.
I am happy for people to come to our country and be free to respect their own traditions, their own religion, their own customs. THis cant apply to some and not to the others.
I am not happy for people to come to our country and persistently break the law or cause public nuisance. I am not happy for them to come here and demand that we change to suit them. I am not happy for them to be treated differently in the eyes of the law, whether this is preferential treatment, political cowardice (cover ups) or harsher penalties.
'Sensitivity, under any guise, should not feature in the justice system. The law and the public interest are all that should matter.
Do you want expect everyone to like benders? Do you expect everyone to have a modern and enlightened view of women?
As men we are already rapists. Pretty soon we are going to be as bad as the Muslims when it comes to gender fluidity and whatever other *******s gets forced on us.
I am never comfortable with telling people how they should think. I also happen to think it is very un-british.
The problem is that the second issue stems directly from your attitude to the first. Blind eyes have been turned precisely because people like you think it’s terribly important for immigrants to follow their own cultural path. That attitude has infected officialdom to a point now I that the idea of acting in an official capacity against Muslims now paralyses the authorities with fear.
