You've got to be kidding me. Britain bends over backwards to accommodate a people that have made it blatantly clear that they have no intention of ever integrating, and you blame it on the prejudicial views of the average middle classer? Oh, he hurt my feelings... he doesn't speak Arabic and he laughs about us down at the pub.... Maybe i need to epxress my outrage with a car bomb... Give me a freaking break.

Reality check...

Zak, why don't you try not spinning for once. I'm watching the same news you are and other than the usual "special report" (translation, the news department is getting a bonanza and preempting coverage) it's actually been pretty quiet. Maybe you're wetting your drawers, but I haven't seen it anywhere else.

And of course, it must be George W Bush again.. God, you with the half-baked conspiracy theories (actually, your proclamations need to come a long way to aspire to being half-baked).

While we're at it, which is it? The US press always takes it in the shorts for not covering events in other countries very well, then when they do, you have us all waving the white flag and panicking like a bunch of little girls.

Sorry gang, Zak's just sucking up to you and telling you what you want to hear so you'll like him better. News of the panic attacks gripping America at large are greatly exaggerated.
