Because it's a symptom of greater discrimination and inequality within Muslim society. The majority of Muslims are peace loving, friendly and hospitable who treat others equally but there is a group who do treat women as second class, who force them to marry people they don't know against their will and who don't think domestic abuse by husbands is wrong. Yes segregation isn't the same as those abhorrent views but it's a smaller part of a larger problem imo.

Probably not? Erm yes I have. Think I've mentioned on here before that my other half has relatives from Iraq including her father so yeah I've seen this sort of segregation and she's thankful every day that her father is liberal minded enough not to treat women like second class citizens unlike her uncle and aunt. I won't hold out much hope for an apology for your lazy assumptions though, lefties don't like to admit they were hopelessly wrong...

It's seemingly something that labour endorse. What other conclusion can be drawn when they seemingly see nothing wrong with this sort of segregation? Segregation like this is always wrong in arenas like this and should be tackled every time.

That was my impression. I know Christians who give away 10% of their wealth but it goes to charities. Very honourable it is too.

So is the alpha course requiring all those who sign up to donate 10% of their wealth to churches?

Odd then. The only ones playing this down are those who are left on the political spectrum from here.

Interesting that it's the lefties trying to play this down. If this had happened to the Tories or ukip then I'm sure they would be reacting the same way...

What do you define as a god flavoured pyramid scheme?

British values???

Whose that then? His supporters?

Reading the comments there are a number of people who feel let down by him and are wondering if this was part of a bigger plan all along. It certainly seems that way with the teaser trailer from earlier in the week. Others feel very pet down and wonder how he can support a labour government who have let the country down just as badly as the Tories in the past.

I've watched most of it because I think he's an interesting bloke even if I mostly disagree with him. This sudden u-turn is hilarious and to me shows his true feelings all along.

I expect he will alienate a number of his followers with that.

I heartily agree with four of them.

My favourite headline from the election was released today: Miliband defends his pledge stone

Did a lookalikie thing with a black woman and someone from planet of the apes...

I already said that. Seems the obvious choice to me.

Amusingly I also have a mutual friend with him on facebook!

Think it may be at the discretion of the mods and depends what it's for. Dune for instance with his planet of the apes thing quite rightly got an immediate ban.

Posters get a two strikes system. First time you get a week ban I believe then it's permanent. I imagine Charlie has been banned before. Almost certainly he is back on now under a different guise.

Labour should have admitted they overspent.

Never ignore. Look on Martins money tips for the template letter to send. It's unenforceable.

I don't believe that the best house a family can afford is 125K. If they have no savings at all then maybe they should be renting instead.

This sort of thing is ill advisable. I am short but thankfully don't wear glasses. As I primarily work with children I very rarely wear a suit for obvious reasons... When I read your posts Lou I always imagine Germaine Greer replying to me.

I don't think there is any way you could ever accuse the BBC of being biased against Labour.
