I enjoyed all of their earlier stuff up to and including Quadrophenia. In particular Quadrophenia and Tommy and also My Generation. The whole lot up till 73.
I quite agree and I can also see a side to his selection that raises a smile. He is of course British with Pakistani ethnicity. And going back to the OP, I had to fill a form out at my daughter’s school that sought to identify parent’s citizenship, religion and ethnicity and languages spoken aswell as that of our daughters. I was surprised to find that was common practise these days but only just realised recently that they are going to put a stop to that. I wonder how many other Brit / Fil parents have had to fill out such a form for their children’s school.
Britain First must be wetting themselves, next thing you know the anti-terrorism unit will be run by an Asian... oh wait https://www.ft.com/content/ebc71296-2071-11e8-a895-1ba1f72c2c11
I had to fill them out for my two Filipino stepchildren and the elder of my two half-Filipino sons. (Just waiting for the 'racist' taunts on here now ) Oh, it's ok, most of the PC rent-a mob I have on 'ignore' .
I agree ban him, I'm fine with contrary opinions but if someone then blocks people whose opinion they don't like then they are obviously a racist and a coward. I've yet to see a racists refuse a pakistani doctor saving their life. I live in hope though.
I remember when my kids were small I was constantly having to state their ethnicity. I got pretty fed up of having to tick "mixed race other" as they clearly weren't important enough to have their own tick box.
“Mixed race other” Yes I had forgotten that one. I believe we can simply leave the box empty or similar. I filled it out though as I didn’t want to rock the boat with the teachers. In hindsight maybe I should have declined. I think it works both ways. And depends how the info is used. It can help the teaching staff, I am sure and help the kids. But I think like you, the expression “mixed race other” is a bit unpalatable.
Mica's passport photo is her in "male" mode. You would not believe the issue we have going through passport control, especially when you come across a bigot. LHR were great though.
The tickboxes are not a requirement our 11 year old hasnt had a single problem in 6 years of school here and in Portugal When they ask me I say Im trans native american jedi
Thats actually called a two spirit person ( not the jedi part ). Transgender was common amongst native americans before columbus turned up and they were referred to as people with two spirits, a male and a female one. It was quite normal until the christians missionaries turned up and stopped it. Its now making a comeback as a term.
Imagine this scenario, which is not beyond the realms of possibility in the future. A Javid v Khan general election. They would be heads exploding in certain societies if thst happened!
Its a long time since I have read a western themed book. I used to love the old western short paperbacks my ex mother in law had. Thanks, will need to rder as no kindle version
