Who knows, as this episode we are commenting on demonstrates, we are already well on the wedge journey aren't we?
In less than 100 years, despite increasing secularisation in the U.K. a new religion has arrived, put down roots and continues to be indulged by the powers that be.
With a growing population in the U.K., predominantly young, and ever more constituencies with Muslims holding the balance of power the rest of the wedge is unlikely to be the like of what we have seen before. Perhaps in time we will see a Islamic political party, sharia law enshrined in U.K. law, only halal meat in schools, legal acceptance of polygamy, blasphemy laws, teachers hounded from jobs, maybe even the Islamic republic of Lancashire (or somewhere where a Muslim majority holds the balance of power).
We can either accept growing Islamic influence or reject it to maintain a broadly our secular country with a Christian background. To do the latter we will need to draw a line somewhere to reduce the former, as the French well know.
Watching you dance around trying to avoid a third (or maybe fourth) ban for racism and islamophobia keeps me amused. Even with your contacts at the very highest level of NSC , time will be up eventually. Even Ppf Lasted for a few years until it eventually became too embarrassing
