An Affront to Modern Britain. This is the Racism That Some Suffer Today

This is the photo that was sent into us today. The family in Rotherham woke up to this on their gate and they have suffered years of racism and hatred. Who would think that in 2015 such graffiti would be posted on the property of an Asian family? Yet these issues are sadly not one-offs

Katie Hopkins: Muslim Hajjis Practice Sharia Stoning

Three justices wanted to rule now so Zunera Ishaq could take her citizenship oath and vote in the elections that will decide Canada’s next parliament on October 19.

But objected to removing it during a public ceremony, as required under a 2011 rule change. “The government of Canada will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in the Ishaq case,” Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said in a one-line statement.
