| Paul, Are you becoming obsessed with me? The reason I ask is because that is now the third time you have attempted to bait me. For your information, I do think that veiled women should be required to unveil themselves at airports (contrary to what you claimed my opinion is in your post of 19:11 last night). But despite this and other examples of you attempting to misrepresent me, I actually want to thank you and Phil Andrews for the advice you gave me on the Chiswick forum some weeks ago. You may remember that I was bemoaning the fact that Feltham Asian Women's Group had been turned down for a small grant by the West Area Committee. Well, the two of you suggested that FAWG might apply for funding through the Community Investment Trust. I duly downloaded the relevant application form from the LBH website and posted it to them with a covering letter urging them to apply before the deadline. This they did - within a couple of days in fact - and they sent me a copy of their detailed and carefully costed application. Both Manria Kaur and I (with a lot of help from Sue Sampson and Alan Keen) then lobbied the relevant officers and councillors. At last week's meeting FAWG were awarded £3,000 of the £4,800 they had asked for. This will go some way towards funding the excellent work they do for an elderly and vulnerable group of people. So, it's only fair that on this occasion I say: Thanks. You and Phil Andrews prompted me, I in turn prompted FAWG, and Sue & Alan did most of the rest. It's great to be able to make a difference isn't it? But the initial help you gave still does not excuse the way that you try to misrepresent me (and nor does it excuse Phil Andrews for calling me a "nutter" just because somebody else left an unfavourable comment on his blog). Finally, returning to the subject matter of this thread: I've said all I'm going to say about banning the burka - because it's not going to happen. The reason it's not going to happen is precisely because this IS Britain - and it's not the way we do things here. And thank god for that. |
