With the breakfast and regional TV channels broadcasting Halloween related content, the BG publishes a critique on why the Wokeists dream of a harmonious diverse society is just that; a dream!
The heightened level of enthusiasm is a recent phenomenon and one that has been imported from the USA – like so many other things.
The origins of Halloween are Pagan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain
Now I have no problem with this.
Many of the readers of this newspaper (http://muslimview.co.uk/) however do! This is NOT because they are Muslim! It is because their view or paganism can often be compared with the view of our ancestors who were living in Britain when those accused of paganism and witchcraft faced capital punishment! Today, witches appear on breakfast and regional TV channels as guests.
In today’s Britain where most people have adopted a wholly secular lifestyle and outlook on life many people celebrate Halloween as a time to party (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11370231/Fright-night-tiles-Revellers-paint-town-blood-red-spooktacular-Halloween-booze-up.html).
Compare the dress of some of the young ladies with the burqa wearing Muslim women of many British communities.
The problem we have is that British governments have completely lost control of who comes and settles in these islands and are very unlikely to be able to do anything effective about it – notwithstanding the statements of many UK politicians.
The problem is that many of the new arrivals to our shores have attitudes more akin to our long dead ancestors than to those partying young women appearing in the Daily Mail.
I repeat: It is NOT the religion that is the problem! It is the social attitudes borne of a particular culture!
Of course, merely publishing this post will lead to complaints and calls to Devon & Cornwall Police that a “hate crime” has been committed. Doubtless, officers will be taken off an investigation into a burglary or some other real crime to attend to this most serious problem blogger!
After all, that is why many left wing Labour Party and Socialist Workers members pay their council tax!
