Blackbriar 8,569 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 This was kept quiet nationally (maybe even locally?), but has been going on for the last 25 years....... Given recent events in the town, isn't it just a tiny bit tactless ? http://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/2/news-headlines/86094/flag-raised-for-pakistan-day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

desertbred 5,490 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 its not a bit insensative its wrong, An Embassy or a Consulate is the place for hoisting a foreign countries flag. In UK the only flag should be the Union Jack.You wouldnt see a foreign flag hoisted on a Public Building in Iran or Pakistan. This again is the establishment allowing immflamatory things to be done. Katie Hopkins is being investigated after complaining she is being accussed or inciting racial hatred. The police have jumped at this investigation yet failed the kids in the grooming cases for over 15 years.Something is wrong somewhere. 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astanley 11,676 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I have go no problem with the Pakistani community celebrating their day ,or any other emigrant community enjoying an occasion that is important to them , but I don't see the tricolour flying from our town hall in march , or the stars and stripes on the fourth of july ,though if hey were invited to I,m sure they would . The fault lies squarely with the white ,liberal ,middle class , obsession with being culturally correct and appeasing minority groups that arnt looking for appeasement . Its ironic that letting the Pakistani flag fly on a municipal building they are harming the very people they claim to be helping , public opinion will blame the Pakistani community when the blame lies with the decision makers of that town . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jacknife 2,005 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I meet several lads through my business from Rochdale and Dewsbury and they slate the places I think its Rochdale that has something like 500 to 1000 white British leaving per year The lads from Rochdale talk about a border and any asians that move into white areas can end up with their windows smashed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was a council census I think The white British population is in decline by at least 5000 per decade but the non white British is rising Something like 7 schools have over 75% where kids have English as a foreign language and 1 school is at 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
desertbred 5,490 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 The reference to schools is due to the higher birth rate of immigrant population it is a national trend that ethnic British families size are reducing whilst family sizes of immigrant families are increasing. The decline in the number of white British in the town could also be a product of the same increase and decrease in family size ,it doent mean that people are leaving in the thousands does it ?
