    I wouldn't assume that. Back in the days, as well as trying p@ki-bashing, a lot of the skinheads would also do 'queer-bashing'.
    Then subsequently, it turned out that a lot of these skinheads were actually gay themselves. Self hatred. There are a lot of people this way amongst the indig goray. The ones from hard working class backgrounds used to hide it and get married because they would be attacked as 'poofs'.  
    A lot of young gay boys flocked around Ronnie, who would then abuse them or pimp them out, including to establishment figures.

    Lord Ahmed found guilty of child sex offences

    By: Pramod Thomas
    A former Labour peer has been found guilty of sexual offences against two children in the 1970s, reported the BBC.
    Lord Ahmed of Rotherham was convicted of a serious sexual assault against a boy and the attempted rape of a young girl.
    Sheffield Crown Court heard the repeated sexual abuse that happened in Rotherham when he was a teenager, the report added.
    Ahmed, 64, whose real name is Nazir Ahmed, had denied the charges.
    Judge Justice Lavender will decide later when Lord Ahmed will be sentenced.
    According to prosecutor Tom Little QC, Lord Ahmed had attempted to rape the girl in the early 1970s, when the defendant was aged 16 or 17 but she was much younger.
    During the same period, the attack on the boy, who was aged under 11 also happened.
    Lord Ahmed claimed the allegations were a “malicious fiction”. However, a phone recording of a 2016 conversation between the two victims showed they were not “made-up or concocted”.
    The woman’s call was prompted by an email from the male victim saying: “I have evidence against that paedophile,” the jury previously heard.
    Lord Ahmed was charged along with his two older brothers, Mohammed Farouq, 71, and Mohammed Tariq, 65, but both were deemed unfit to stand trial.
    Both had faced charges of indecent assault against the same boy abused by Lord Ahmed.
    According to the BBC report, Lord Ahmed resigned from the House of Lords in November 2020 after a conduct committee report concluded he had sexually and emotionally exploited a vulnerable woman who sought his help.
    The inquiry into his behaviour followed a BBC Newsnight investigation.
    The report made him the first peer to be recommended for expulsion but he resigned before this could be implemented.
    “By these verdicts, the jury has clearly decided that no matter the delay between the offences and the trial, and the defences raised, they could be sure that the accounts of the victims were credible and true,” Rosemary Ainslie, head of the Crown Prosecution Service’s special crime division, was quoted as saying by the BBC.
    “One of these defendants held a position of power, influence and responsibility for some time in the House of Lords but this case clearly illustrates that where there is sufficient evidence, even in challenging cases, the CPS will bring a prosecution, put evidence before a jury and see rightful convictions.”

    paapiman reacted to Premi in Panthic Project: Introduce langar in schools that are forcing halal   
    If there's a choice between having two different sources of meat to cater for Muslims and non-Muslims or just one that's accepted by Muslims, then why would a business model choose to use two sources. Gore don't care about halal mostly, as far as I am aware. 
     
    Lol at the first sentence. I don;t think the halal thing is deliberate, just makes 'business sense' . Not sure what this has to do with jats btw, lol -apart from that Ranjeet Boparan 'chicken king'

    Tributes to Mehnga Singh, father of New Look founder Tom Singh
      By Martin Lea  @DorsetEchoMart Tributes have been paid to the father of the founder of the New Look fashion chain who had an integral role in the early development of the company.
    Mehnga Singh, who lived in Upwey for many years, passed away peacefully on June 20 at the age of 92, after a 'fascinating and fulfilling life’, his family said.
    Although it was his son Tom who founded the company, Mr Singh helped lay the foundations and was a key player in its development. He remained closely involved in the business until the mid 1990s, focussing mainly on the transport and distribution side.
    Born in India, Mr Singh sought to escape the challenges of post-independence Punjab and came to England in 1950 to seek his fortune. He had married his wife Sawarn in India and she soon followed him to England with their son Tom.

    They settled in Taunton, then Wellington – the original plan was to make some money to send home and eventually return.
    Life in post-war Britain was not easy and the Singhs had the added burden of learning a new way of life and a new language.
      Being something of an entrepreneur, Mr Singh made a living selling clothes door-to-door before deciding to buy a shop in Wellington in 1955. They would later buy the premises next door and combine the two shops.
    A few years later Mr Singh took a gamble and started running stalls at local markets, starting at Taunton’s Saturday market - a move which paid off and gave the family financial security.
    Mr and Mrs Singh opened another shop in Taunton in 1969.
    Various other shops were opened by the family over the following years including a shop in St Thomas Street, Weymouth which was the first outlet to trade under the name 'New Look.
    The business continued to expand, focussing initially on small market towns, prior to its ultimate expansion which would revolutionise the UK retail market and secure an international footprint.
    Mr Singh lived in Dorset for many years and moved to Basingstoke two years ago to be close to family.
    The couple had three other children - George, Christine and Simon, the popular science author.
    A family spokesman said: "By his later years, he had grown to be a passionate gardener, harking back to his formative days growing up on the family farm in India. Indeed, his intention was always to return to India when the grandchildren were older, and it will become his final resting place when his ashes are scattered there."
    The spokesman added: "Mehnga will be remembered by all for his hard work and love of life, his signature joke telling and for always enjoying a visit to the pub. His whole family will remember him with the greatest love, respect and admiration and will miss him dearly."

    paapiman reacted to Premi in Alexander Technique   
    We were offered this at discounted price when I was at Uni
    https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/alexander-technique/
    Alexander technique
    The Alexander technique teaches improved posture and movement, which is believed to help reduce and prevent problems caused by unhelpful habits.
    During a number of lessons you're taught to be more aware of your body, how to improve poor posture and move more efficiently.
    Teachers of the Alexander technique believe it helps get rid of tension in your body and relieves problems such as back pain, neck ache, sore shoulders and other musculoskeletal problems.
    Evidence suggests the technique has the potential to improve certain health conditions, but there are some claims made about the technique that haven't been scientifically tested.
    Key principles
    The main principles of the Alexander technique are:
    "how you move, sit and stand affects how well you function" "the relationship of the head, neck and spine is fundamental to your ability to function optimally" "becoming more mindful of the way you go about your daily activities is necessary to make changes and gain benefit" "the mind and body work together intimately as one, each constantly influencing the other" Teachers of the technique say that conditions such as backache and other sorts of long-term pain are often the result of misusing your body over a long period of time, such as moving inefficiently and standing or sitting with your weight unevenly distributed.
    The aim of the Alexander technique is to help you "unlearn" these bad habits and achieve a balanced, more naturally aligned body.
    Learning the Alexander technique
    The Alexander technique is taught by a qualified teacher in 1-to-1 lessons.
    Lessons often take place in a studio, clinic or the teacher's house and usually last 30 to 45 minutes. You'll be asked to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing so you're able to move easily.
    The teacher will observe your movements and show you how to move, sit, lie down and stand with better balance and less strain. They'll use their hands to gently guide you in your movements, help you maintain a better relationship between your head, neck and spine, and to release muscle tension.
    You'll need to attend a number of lessons to learn the basic concepts of the Alexander technique. Often, around 20 or more weekly lessons are recommended.
    Teachers of the technique say you may see an improvement in aches and pains fairly soon after starting the lessons, but that you need to be committed to putting what you learn into practice and it may take a considerable amount of time to see the full benefits.
    The overall aim is to help you gain an understanding of the main principles involved so you can apply them to everyday life, allowing you to benefit from the technique without the need for frequent ongoing lessons.
    Does the Alexander technique work?
    Supporters of the Alexander technique often claim it can help people with a wide range of health conditions. Some of these claims are supported by scientific evidence, but some have not yet been properly tested.
    There's evidence suggesting the Alexander technique can help people with:
    long-term back pain – lessons in the technique may lead to reduced back pain-associated disability and reduce how often you feel pain for up to a year or more long-term neck pain – lessons in the technique may lead to reduced neck pain and associated disability for up to a year or more Parkinson's disease – lessons in the technique may help you carry out everyday tasks more easily and improve how you feel about your condition If you have one of these conditions and you're considering trying the Alexander technique, it's a good idea to speak to your GP or specialist first to check if it might be suitable for you.
    Some research has also suggested the Alexander technique may improve general long-term pain, stammering, and balance skills in older people to help them avoid falls. But the evidence in these areas is limited and more studies are needed.
    There's currently little evidence to suggest the Alexander technique can help improve other health conditions, including asthma, headaches, osteoarthritis, difficulty sleeping (insomnia) and stress.
    Availability and regulation
    Alexander technique lessons are mostly available privately. Each lesson usually costs around £35 to £50.
    However, in recent years some NHS trusts have started to offer Alexander technique lessons as part of their outpatient pain clinics. Ask your GP whether it's available through the NHS in your local area.
    Finding a teacher
    If you're thinking about trying the Alexander technique, it's important to choose a teacher who's experienced and qualified.
    There aren't currently any laws or regulations stating what training someone must have to teach the Alexander technique. Professional organisations offer courses (often for 3 years) and membership upon successful completion of the course.
    Teachers must meet certain requirements to register with these organisations and agree to comply with their code of ethics.
    In the UK, the main organisations for teachers of the Alexander technique are the:
    Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CHNC) Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT) Interactive Teaching Method Association (ITM) Professional Association of Alexander Teachers (PAAT) Alexander Technique International (ATI) Of these, only the CHNC has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
    Risks and limitations
    For most people, Alexander technique lessons are safe and pose no health risks. No manipulation of your body is involved, just gentle touch.
    However, the technique may not be suitable for certain people, such as those with specific spinal problems like an injury or slipped disc. These problems will need specialist medical treatment.
    It's important to remember that most teachers of the Alexander technique aren't medical professionals. They should not diagnose, offer advice on or treat conditions that should be managed by a suitably qualified mainstream healthcare professional.
