Shouldn't we try to understand the rock-throwers? Find out what their grievances are and establish a dialouge? The police action seems so unilateral...
;-)
I only know London people and they all seem to hate Americans and Jews. I know people outside of London are different: I just never seem to get to meet them. What really bothers me is that due to business concerns, I keep having to give my dollars to the London economy...
""Has anything good ever come from America?""
Has ANYTHING GOOD EVER come from Islam?
I wonder if they were Chavs?
It's a campaign for a new TV show, yet to be aired, highlighting the good and bad of American Television that has landed on our shores.
That's all.
They must define things differently over there. When was the last time we had a riot of any proportion? The Rodney King incident?
Well, the press is supposed to prize accuracy. I don't know whether or not non-Muslim "Indians" (Sikhs, Hindus, whatever) do a lot of street brawling, but if they do I've never read about it. If that is the case then simply referring to "Asians" omits information the reader may find useful.
Thank you, but my heart is still breaking over that billboard.
It only took 50 odd years for the Brits to forget the blood, sweat and treasure America spent to keep that nation free. The sad thing is that if they were attacked in a major way we would come to their aid again, in spite of their hate.
Hmmm. Looks like a bit of a jihad against jihadists is a' brewin'.
Producter must be owned by Cox, who does the same sort of billboard media blitz stuff.
Tensions have been building between whites and Pakistanis over the past year in Preston. It is more about economics than it is religion.
"but my heart is still breaking over that billboard."
Mad is better than sad, ma'am.
"If that is the case then simply referring to "Asians" omits information the reader may find useful."
No more than 'black', 'white' etc. I imagine the information came from the police in any case.
Sorry, it doesn't wash. The billboards are very big, with huge white lettering against a black background, posted for people returning to Heathrow Airport. No one on the billboard takes credit for the ad.
It's disgusting whether it's done by a tv organization or some left wing group.
..if ya think about the last 10 years you'll see where your problem lies. If you don't address the "problem" and enforce British law, rock throwing and near riot, will seem like a mere "touch up" to use a British phrase.

If they mean Muslim - why not just say Muslim?

About 60 some odd years ago America made it possible for them to exist and hate us today.
Could we have made a mistake back then?
