What the hell is this once great Country coming to, every day a new story breaks testing the patience of its citizens, the latest nonsense is about our swimming pools, to protect the sensibilities of Muslims that may want to go swimming some councils are to afford them specially allotted time slots.
Thornton Heath Leisure centre run by Croydon Council in South London, is one such Council, it has restricted access Saturdays and Sundays where male costumes must cover the body from the navel down to the knee and females must be covered from the neck to the ankles and wrists. Saturday and Sunday incidentally the two busiest days of the week as there is no school for children, and no work for the majority of adults.
David Toube a Hackney resident tells how he was barred from a Sunday morning session with his 5 year old son at Clissold Leisure centre in Hackney, because the Sunday morning slot had been set aside for Muslims.
If these “initiatives” are supposed to make things between different cultures better it is having the opposite effect, it is creating divisions where previously there were none. If a Muslim wants to go swimming then he/she wears a suitable costume and goes swimming, if they find it distasteful to be amongst people in swimming costumes then they don’t go, it really is as simple and as black and white as that.
Public pools have existed in this country for over a hundred years, for anybody that arrives in this Country they have to learn to adapt to our customs, not the other way around, and anyone who feels that they cant adapt then pack your bags and go back home, but if you want to make this Country your new home than live by our rules.
