I think so, but there I am not a sport enthusiast. Having ignored reams
of sport reporting on breakfast TV I settled down to watch a report
about knife crimes interviewing the Mayor of London, then to towards the
end they started to talk about sport with him! Perhaps there should be a
sport channel, after all they have done it for the children's programmes.

Well, if you mean yesterday it was an unusual day with Tennis, Cricket,
Grand Prix and netball all on the one day. Quite how come it all fell on the
same day seems a tad lacking in planning between the sports, but then nobody
ever said those in charge of sport were known for their communication
prowess did they?

I agree about sport, it seems to me that even with some big sporting
franchises now being owned by pay channels there is still far too much that
has to be put out on regular channels. If they did get rid of a few of the
crap channels or make them part time when there is no sport then it could
be made into a sport free zone on the main channels.

Mind you they would still find some kind of sport, I'm sure even if its
Dwarf Throwing or Bog Snorkelling!

More to the point I didn't hear a mention of the fact that knife crime
is mostly done by gangs of black youths. Someone said to me in the pub
the other night, "Import the Third World and you get Third World
behaviour." That's how many people view it. Why not bring that aspect of

Yes we have failed to integrate cultures. This is a major issue and why
places like New Malden in Surrey are known as little Korea. You only need to
look at what Brits do when they go overseas. Do they learn the language and
integrate? No they live in little British enclaves.
Sadly because it seems that some minorities seem to be less employable its
hardly surprising they turn to crime. its a self fulfilling prophesy.
If you come from a place where you are treated as ****, you behave
accordingly if you see no difference in the new country.

I have met a lot of people with various ethnic origins who have integrated
and do not behave like these people do. Quite how you solve it now is hard
to say.
Most of the people are second generation and were born here into the
culture of the enclave, not the British culture.

Its not just black youths doing it, the scooter gangs aren't all black
for instance.

Its more down to the likelihood of getting caught than anything else.

I agree that it is about time the BBC had a dedicated Sports channel the amount of regular programming that gets shunted by the likes of Wimbledon is riiculous, during the last fortnight the number of times BBC 1 & BBC 2 were showing tennis - granted different matches - at the same time was overkill.. Mind you they will probably want higher licence fees to do so and us licence payers who are not into all this sport will still have to contribute to it.

Nope. It's mostly (but not exclusively) down to the drugs trade.

They don’t do that here, or in the USA or Canada or New Zealand.

Didn’t happen with the Normans, Italians, Huguenots or jews etc in the UK.

Didn’t happen with the Scots post Culloden.

Impossible, actually.

Most of the people are second generation and were born here into the
culture of the enclave, not the British culture.

That happened here with the Irish, but they did eventually manage
to do quite well, even managing to end up as the equivalent of the
governor of the bank of england with one of them.

Don't you find though that things bunch together. Generally I thought it was
just busses that came in packs, but it seems that sports finals attract each
other around the same date. Also affected are medical appointments social
events and people who want to come and visit. There is some odd fundamental
law of the universe that makes such things happen, its a failure in the
random number generator controlling the universe.

Yes but this is because like minded people tend to get together. I remember
mods and rockers etc.
Any differences are obviously picked on and hence there is safety in numbers
and 'your own kind' effects. I'm more intrigued at the moment about the anti
Jewish thing. We I think all look at Israel as a bit of a rogue these days
since they are so arrogant about everything but not all Jewish people agree
with theier stance.
I'm not Jewish but I know a few and really cannot see a problem at all, yes
they stick together too, but then that is the nature of the beast of people
with differences.
It will be Masons next, mark my words.

PLEASE! Then we can stop having the main channels' schedules being
thrown into disarray by various sports. Even worse when a match overruns
and they cancel the following programme just to talk about the match
that has by now finished!
