you are correct.

but words have multiple meanings and “great”

coincides with the pride of a once powerful britain.

Why stop there? Why not change the name of their country to the Islamic Republic of Britain? After all we don’t want to offend the muzztards.

You’ve got it the wrong way round.

There’s one sector of the UK which actively looks for situations where they can get Moslems to sue.

LAWYERS. Most of whom aren’t Moslems, they’re just greedy bastards who have found a very easy way to make money by shitting on their own country.

That is what creates the risk.

To understand how this oddness has been legislated into the British system issue all you have to do is look at the Macpherson Report following the Stephen Lawrence murder enquiry. It’s extensively documented on the web so I won’t go into it in full detail.

Macpherson invented the concept of “unintentional racism”. This is how it works.

If a company orders a ninja to take off his hood and facemask, and he refuses, then he MIGHT think the company is being racist. If so, he can sue the company.

If there’s a legal requirement for the ninja to wear protective headgear and that headgear simply won’t fit unless the ninja hat is taken off first, then clearly any normal person would say the policy is not racist.

But thanks to Macpherson, the company is “unintentionally racist” because if it had considered the feelings of ninjas when designing its protective headgear there wouldn’t be a dispute in the first place.

Macpherson’s theory was that if people bought into this concept, protective headgear policies would be designed so that ninja hats can be worn underneath them, everyone would be happy and nobody would have any need to sue anyone else.

The ACTUAL consequence is that a “no win no fee” lawyer will take every case he finds, to court, because the charge of “unintentional racism” is almost impossible to disprove.

So if you want to blame anyone, blame the lawyers.
