Erm, I'd question the sources on that one... I've not heard anything about that in our national press, AND with a father who is a senior DOH Director, He hasn't mentioned a word of this.

The famous Eu Times eh...? I wonder what other global scoops they're famous for? On a side note I couldn't afford to get sick in the US!

Not quite true

Hi all,

a minute's research shows the article not to be true, Muslim NHS staff will not be excused hand scrubbing.

On the other hand, the article's grammatical, historical, logical and factual errors strongly suggest that "English culture" is indeed in decline.

Cheers,

SW

After a Google search it would appear that (according to http://www.splcenter.org/):

"...It is registered to Jessica Nachtman, wife of Christopher Nachtman. [Editor's note: After the initial posting of this blog item, Jessica Nachtman wrote Hatewatch to say that she merely provides Web hosting for "a European who lives abroad," who she declined to identify further. She said she does not publish or modify any of the site's content.] Christopher Nachtman is a former member of the neo-Nazi group National Alliance who more recently has been active in Volksfront, a racist skinhead group."

In Nc's thread starter it was clear that the article was designed to promote Islamophobia.

We don't need this sort of rubbish in our forums.
