John X Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 What for, Because accusing someone of having a racist agenda is a pretty nasty thing to do! Explain it or withdraw it and apologise! John X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It is possible to meet and greet a person and within a few moments find out all the salient points regarding them. I've only just noticed this. It's nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 In the Christian areas, there are many Islamic shopkeepers In the Islamic areas there are no Christian shopkeepers. I'd also like to add that Balpin didn't commit a name to these "areas". He was extremely unspecific, because if he was specific we could then question him further, which he doesn't want. I may take the small step of believing him if he is willing to name the areas that have "no Christian shopkeepers". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balpin Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Right lads, I withdraw the comment re someone having a go at me because of my race. As for the rest, if you are so concerned, forget it. If you dont believe I know my freinds carry on, that is your perogative. The areas btw are in the conurbation of west yorks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Sidney Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'd also like to add that Balpin didn't commit a name to these "areas".

Traditional shops close because a large part of their trade is replaced by others, from overseas, who don't want their goods. This is frustrating for the original community because the shops they use close. I think areas like Page Hall are a good example. Most of the shops there now have changed...

Balpin Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Names please. That's far too vague. What is this? The Spanish Inquisition? Names of who? You seem to be a bit too forward Mr Halibut. Please wait until you are asked for personal information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Its true in a sense. Areas do change when lots of immigrants move in. Traditional shops close because a large part of their trade is replaced by others Now we come to free market arguments, because it isn't the fault of the "area" that the shops they don't use are closed. There isn't a chinese supermarket in Crystal Peaks because there isn't a market for it*. I have to get a bus into town or London Road if I want to buy soy sauce. It isn't a suprise then that areas with large Indian and Pakistani communities have shops that market to Indian and Pakistani tastes. There is no longer a market for the pub, or the off-licence, as quick examples. Yet still, Balpin claims "no Christian shopkeepers", so it is fair to question his claim. ---------- * To cover my back; there may be a market for it. We won't know until somebody tries.
