in her leaflet Mrs Warsi, the Conservatives' first female Muslim candidate, says: "Labour has scrapped section 28 which was introduced by the Conservatives to stop schools promoting alternative sexual lifestyles such as homosexuality to children as young as seven years old... now schools are allowed and do promote homosexuality and other alternative sexual lifestyles to your children.
"Labour reduced the age of consent for homosexuality from 18 to 16 allowing school children to be propositioned for homosexual relationships."
Later in her leaflet Mrs Warsi is quoted saying: "I will campaign strongly for an end to sex education at seven years and the promotion of homosexuality that undermines family life."

One group has made the active choice to come to the society whilst the other has not. Surely it is not too much to ask that the group who is willingly here adapt to the norms already present, instead of depending on the resources of the host country to educate them.

Gentle reminder here - this thread has gone way off topic and into the realm of OMNI PR - while we are a bit looser in terms of on topic threads than the core miles & points forum, this is pushing it. Please try to steer the thread back to the topic at hand. Thank you!!!!

I think the reference may be to this - a report of stickers being found in an area of London where there is a large and highly ill-educated and impoverished population of (as I understand it) people from the Indian sub-continent, not Arabs. I do not think there are any no-go areas in London for gays.
Britain is by no means perfect but the levels of acceptance of gay people and life, and the legal protection afforded to us, are very high.

What a miserable life he must lead, being forced to witness the actions of heathens everywhere.
