CANBERRA: Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law in Australia
were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted
radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day after a group
of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special
meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear
that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer Peter Costello hinted that
some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not
accept that Australia was a secular state and its laws were made by
parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has
Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," he said on
national television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there
are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and
another the Islamic law, that this is false. If you can't agree with
parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and would prefer Sharia
law, and have the opportunity to go to another country which practices it,
perhaps, then, that's a better option," Costello said. Asked whether he
meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said those with dual
citizenship could possibly be asked move to the other country. Education
Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that Muslims who did not want
to accept local values should "clear off". "Basically, people who don't want
to be Australians, and they don't want to live by Australian values and
understand them, well then they can basically clear off," he said.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he
supported spies monitoring the nation's mosques.

Is U.S. foreign policy being run by followers of an obscure German
Jewish political philosopher whose views were elitist, amoral, and
hostile to democratic government?

Hello Jon
I was pleased to see that the conservatives have now taken power in Canada,
however I cannot see any government being able to turn the tide of racial
crime that is hitting all of our countries, especially yours which has for
generations offered help to one and all.

The problem is and always will be that all groups have there own prejudices
and try and force these upon others.
I do believe however that if all these whining PC idiots were stripped of
their powers life would be better for all.

When peoples come to England etc. and are given a new life and money,
housing and so on they should sit quietly and accept our ways as well as our
benefits.

Grockles seem to be very proud of having spent their money getting their
week-end's worth of groceries somewhere else. After all, "The shops are
so much more expensive down here".

Or of using it to buy second homes, "Why, they were so cheap we bought
all three and turned them into holiday lets".

At least I can recognise a cow when I see one. When not in fields, they
are sitting in London-reg 4x4, a yard out from the verge, expecting me

You have gone from attacking people from Doncaster to attacking
Londonders.
It speaks volumes. You are just a jealous racist cow.

The Grockles are the ones with the nice new cars. The locals are the
ones
driving 30 year old shit heaps held together with string and chewing
gum and
with bent MOTs.

Grockles don't use local shops becuase the owners are invariably sour
face, rude
and their goods out of date and overpriced unlike a nice clean Tescos.

The only local shop that I do use is run by an African and he is a
terrific guy.

Shall I repeat the time I was in a local pub and the owners dog shit
under a table that someone was eating at? That's how "clean" they
are.......

"Jealous"? Hardly - it is people from other parts of the country that
want to come here - not me wanting to go there.
"Racist"? Hardly - even people from as far afield as London and
Doncaster are still British. Well, some of them.
"Cow"? Hardly - as I said, I actually know one of these when I see one.

Absolutely true. Only goes to show how much money the grockles spread
around when they come down here, doesn't it? We should be so grateful -
without them, how would we ever afford the string?

Yep, an awful lot of local shops have been bought by strangers. Mostly
to turn into tat shops for tourists. But the rest are merely trying to
be kind, to make the grockles feel at home.

Do tell which shop. It is always good to find someone that moves here
who actually wants to be here and isn't wishing he was back where he
came from.

Yep, but we can't stop it I'm afraid. If only there were laws to stop
people coming down here and buying houses and businesses, the place
would be so much better..I guess it is just the standards they were used

down in these little shops, serve yer with damn better manners

Good rant Sue....

The guy that works for me here in Canada got a taste of grockle treatment
one evening in Falmouth just before Christmas, he made the mistake of
mentioning to me how cheap, nasty & expensive some Falmouth souvenirs were
in a shop in the area below Jacobs Ladder were, picking up on his 'Canadian'
accent another customer in the newsagents overheard him & started to rip a
strip of him about staying in his own f***ing country then...his last words
were "F***ing Yank"! We had to have a laugh at the guy which made him even
madder & taught us a thing or too by muttering under his breath.
:-)

The rest of our six day tour of Cornwall was fantastic....some of the pubs
& restaurants were amazing, expensive yes, but worth every penny, some areas
had hardly changed at all since I was a kid, we were driving a larger than
normal vehicle & made all the right adjustments to our driving habits
obviously as we had no incidents other than a lot of hedgerows jumping out
at our wing mirrors, some narrow country lanes the branches were even
touching the wing mirrors on both sides at the same time, mind you we mainly
took roads that were off the beaten track & spent a lot of time backing up
to oncoming traffic.

Great fun!

strip of him about staying in his own f***ing country then...his last words
were "F***ing Yank"! We had to have a laugh at the guy which made him even
madder & taught us a thing or too by muttering under his breath.
:-)
The rest of our six day tour of Cornwall was fantastic....some of the pubs
& restaurants were amazing, expensive yes, but worth every penny, some areas
had hardly changed at all since I was a kid, we were driving a larger than
normal vehicle & made all the right adjustments to our driving habits
obviously as we had no incidents other than a lot of hedgerows jumping out
at our wing mirrors, some narrow country lanes the branches were even
touching the wing mirrors on both sides at the same time, mind you we mainly
took roads that were off the beaten track & spent a lot of time backing up
to oncoming traffic.

Don't get me wrong - it is right that some things change and some
attitudes change. What we do and the way that we do them isn't
necessarily right, but newcomers should appreciate that their attitudes
and the way that they do things aren't necessarily right either. Both
can learn from the other - but not if one is so convinced that their
views *must* be right and any other opinion is worth nowt.

There *are* reasons why many people keep poultry in their back gardens -
and grow their own fruit and veg. It *is* a low wage area and such
things are a vital part of making ends meet.

There *are* traditions that help bond a community together. Bell ringing
is one of them. The "early morning" peal of bells isn't quite so early
if you have to be up at 5 every day. Complaining about not getting a
"lie-in" because of church bells - to someone who hasn't had a holiday
in years and hasn't had a "lie-in" in even longer, isn't the most
tactful approach.

If you are worried about your new car being scratched, don't bring it
onto roads scarcely wider than the wing mirrors. Expecting a farm
tractor and trailer to back up is just plain mean - even if the driver
makes it look easy, it is another bit of the working day wasted for
them. Many cars here look scratched and battered *because* they are
scratched and battered, from scraping past other cars, granite setts and
being brushed by the odd cow or two.

Of course there is jealousy - particularly of those with accents that
show that they have the money to fly around the World for fun. You laugh
at someone not knowing the difference, but I find it very sad that so
many, in a rich country such as the UK, cannot afford to travel and find
out for themselves, the difference between a Canadian and US accent, or
even knowing that someone with a French accent could be Canadian (or
even Canadienne)..

Or think of their wheatfields as being as big as they come - without
ever seeing what a Canadian wheatfield looks like..Or that French wine
is always the best, without having even tasted Australian.

Off the beaten track, Cornwall and Devon aren't expensive - they cannot
afford to be because the locals are their main customers. As with
anywhere else in the World - if you want to know about where you are,
you need a local guide. But so few visitors here even ask a local person
which pub to go to or which beach they use.

There is a difference between visitors, who are guests and those that
come to live here - the target of the OP's arguments. Those that live
here should take the time to appreciate why things are the way they are,
before trying to change things, "for the better".

I suggest that you look at the differences in travel distances to a main
hospital for people in Devon and Cornwall compared to, say, London.

Up to date technology isn't much good if you can't get to it:

Well, I would until they get their quality control better. More
expensive US deep discharge batteries are a much better investment. As
our power comes across line over the Moors, we have an inverter and
battery backup to handle the (frequent) outages. We just don't get the
level of investment down here, to bring services to the same standard
that most of the rest of the country takes for granted.

All depends on how you look at it. An emergency ambulance journey
across Londons traffic to get to a hospital can take just as long (or
longer) than a trip from Cullompton (say) to Exeter hospital.

They also don't have the speed and luxury of expensive air ambulances
in London.

I.e. it costs a lot more to run hospitals in the Southwest than it does
in other parts of the country and it is all paid for by the rest of the
country too. You know.. Those "Grockles" that you despise....

Then there's the little matter of farmers being paid to keep fields

"United Kingdom: A national standard (including both urban and rural
areas) was established in 2001. The most critical emergency calls,
referred to as “Category A” calls, have a response time requirement of
eight minutes and zero seconds, with a 75% compliance requirement, and
the additional stipulation that 95% of these calls must be reached
within 14 minutes in urban areas and 19 minutes in rural areas."

Erm, no. It costs a lot more, per hospital, to run London hospitals that
those in the South West. Normalising for population density, the only
"subsidy" is for the provision of roads. Electricity and water were
subsidised, but, if you care to look at the relative costs per kWH and
bills, you will see that those in the South West pay far, far more for
the same (or in some cases, like mine, much worse) provision..As well as
power outages, I am not on mains gas or mains water.

Post by Just Another Residents Fan

Yep, but the "Freedom to Roam" legislation has wrecked that - you just
can't shoot the grockles when they trespass across your fields anymore.

As to being paid to keep the fields looking the way that tourists like
to see - rather than do what is commercially sensible, like widespread
planting of conifer - only fair that the grockles pay for the privilege.

It is almost always newcomers who protest against any planning
applications that change things - even if/especially if the change will
produce more jobs (ie more traffic). Locals want the changes because
they want the jobs that go with them.

If the whole South West is to become the South West Heritage Theme Park
then, yes, those that want it to be so can bloody well pay...

Thanks for the offer, btw. You hear on the news how expert "up-country"
folk are with knives - although mostly using those skills on people in
the street or OAPs in their homes. You are quite right, we don't have
nearly as many people with such skills down here.

Forks on the other hand, not a problem. I mostly use mine for moving
manure - but I suppose that there isn't that much difference between
that and the pre-packed stuff you get in your shops "up country".

Do come to the South West often and do bring and spend lots of money! We

Running water we have. I even have a river at the bottom of the garden -
although at this time of year there is a greater danger of having a
garden at the bottom of the river. It has excellent salmon and trout
fishing. It also has a family of otters under the opposite bank, which
sometimes also thinks of my garden as being theirs.

The water supply for the house comes from a pump in the well in the
garden. Very backward: none of the chlorine, fluorine, aluminium
sulphate, etc that you get supplied in yours..

Well, the house I live in was built in 1680 - so the authorities are
taking their time in bulldozing it. The cottage next door was built in
1640, so maybe it will get bulldozed first. Mind you, it is a mile or so
away, so they may not bother.

Oh, they *can* use it then? I had wondered. You see these programs about
city centres ... of course, you can't believe everything that is on the tv.

You are quite right. It is just envy. I would so much rather live in a
city and not have to tramp through fields to get to the local post
office. Or not have to take the cat to get patched up by the vet, after
she found that otters play *rough*. I am just watching the sun set over
the moors - over the heads of my numerous neighbours, who are going to
have a cold night sleeping rough all night. Its a tough life, being a sheep.

CANBERRA: Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law in Australia
were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government
targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day
after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia
at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his
ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown. Treasurer
Peter Costello hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave
the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular state and
its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you
want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia
is not for you," he said on national television. "I'd be saying to
clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in
Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that this
is false. If you can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts,
democracy, and would prefer Sharia law, and have the opportunity to go to
another country which practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better
option," Costello said. Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be
forced to leave, he said those with dual citizenship could possibly be
asked move to the other country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later
told reporters that Muslims who did not want to accept local values
should "clear off". "Basically, people who don't want to be Australians,
and they don't want to live by Australian values and understand them,
well then they can basically clear off," he said. Separately, Howard
angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spies
monitoring the nation's mosques.

tractors on the roads, etc. Whilst not supporting the local shops, not
using local public transport or schools, not even passing the time of day
with neighbours, putting up 10 foot high fences, arguing about rights of
way, bringing caravans that they can't reverse, cars that they can't
drive in narorw lanes, children that they can't control, dogs ditto,
telling everyone that will listen how it was all so much better in

I haven't heard the expression used much. Mostly by townies who aren't
far removed from being ones themselves..

Originally they were from around St Germans/Saltash and the graveyard in
Saltash houses plenty of family. Now they are further afield as well and I
have family near Truro plus family in Looe plus some have gone over to
Plymouth/Ivybridge but originally they are all from near the border.

The Cornish equivalent name for such folk tends to be "Emmetts".

I only know that as I read it online a few years ago. before that I had
never heard the expression, nor had any of my 'born and bred in Cornwall'
family

It was certainly the term used in my experience among people in the
china clay country around St Austell, in mid-Cornwall. Maybe it's more
regional than I thought, though. I'll have to listen to Radio Cornwall
more carefully to find what terms I hear used there!

I'd rather have a street full of Muslims and blacks than the poxxy

your own MPs say the same thing.
The more wogs the better........ And they are welcome to bring their

It can't be as bad as what is already here.
