First of all the comment isn’t racist, and secondly muslims are not a race. They are followers of islam, a religion. Yes Manchester does have a lot of Muslims and you were basically saying why would you want to live there because of that,that sounds racist to me.Now you are trying to back track to put it right.Maybe you should think before posting next time so you can't get quoted on before being able to delete your post. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all the comment isn’t racist, and secondly muslims are not a race. They are followers of islam, a religion. Manchester isn't FULL of Muslims, so it's not a fact. Manchester like a lot of cities and places in the UK have POCKETS of different religions and races. Very little wrong with that unless you are a racist. I welcome the broad spectrum of races and cultures personally. I take it the assumption that you are making is that living with Muslims is a bad thing but if that's the generalisation you want to make then I'll leave you to the fall out that might follow. If you really want to say Manchester is a bad place to live because of Muslims then that really is a poor statement. IMHO. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been to Manchester twice and not to watch speedway, so I think my opinion is valid and yeah Manchester is good if you like the city life but I prefer the fresh air you get at the seaside. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn’t remove my post. Am I anti muslim? Yes. But I am not a racist. I just don’t like islam. It demeans women. Its 100% not racist to dislike a religion. If you think it right that a woman has to walk behind a man, is not allowed on the floor of a mosque, is pushed into arranged marriages etc etc etc, then that’s your prerogative. I believe in equal rights. Islam does not grant that ideal. We are way off topic Edited April 4, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You clearly don't know enough about Muslims in big cities if you think they all obey Islam. I'd say they are in the minority. If you dislike Islam then you disrespect Muslims who follow that religion. Although I'd say 100% of Muslims on BSF think your weather forecasting predictions are rubbish. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TesarRacing 1,825 Posted April 5, 2018 Steve's comparison of Manchester and Poole is very selective to say the least. Comparing Sandbanks to a council estate is not representative of the 2 areas. My sister lives just outside Bournemouth and they are a lot of extremely deprived areas in the centre of Bournemouth and parts of Poole. whereas my daughter lives in a place called Woodford on the edge of Manchester and there are some very expensive houses there where some of the professional footballers live. Also interestingly, Ivan Mauger lived in Woodford and Bramhall, very nice areas when he was riding for the Aces. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your lack of intelligence and class is showing brightly through. I can picture you now on a donkey on Blackpool beach with a kiss me quick hat on and holding a bottle of Diamond White. By the way the scousers 3 Arab billions 0 what a humiliation. Man city, a team at the top of the league and still can't fill their own stadium. As the arabs have proved you can buy success but you can't buy class and history. Edited April 5, 2018 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,779 Posted April 5, 2018 Man City will create their own history and the club has class in abundance, anybody who is bitter towards them because of their money and doesn't appreciate the football they play needs to get a life. They aren't the only club with a rich owner. I don't think their supporters will be attacking the Liverpool bus next week either. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not talking about the skillful footballers but the way their fans acted last night. Only big club in the premiership with real class are the Gunners. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
