It is interesting to note that the UK media is doing their damnedest to suppress feedback from the general public and not reporting any anti muslim incidents. The oleaginous nature of the public statements are positively puke making. I think it unhealthy, suppression, however well intentioned, only bottles things up and makes them worse in the end. Keep shaking a bottle of champagne! There appears to be very little freedom of speech or democracy if you are WASP these days in the UK and have an opinion contrary to the accredited PC newspeak!
Personally I doubt such suppression can be maintained by the govt in the long run.

That’s Fred. He’s a metro-gnome.

One of my step-brothers, apparently gave his son all the Christian names of some English football team. No wonder I didn’t get on with him on the one occasion I met him!

I found the article interesting. It was quite common in the 17th century for Puritans to call their children by such names as ‘Praise God’ or some other such name. And the English practice of using a wife’s surname as first or second name was extremely common – and very helpful to those of us trying to trace our family tree. One of my ancestors married an Alice German in 1856 – the name German / Germain has been used as a second name ever since.

The name Christopher / Christine has, in my opinion, been well over-used in my family! My brother is Christopher and my middle name is Christine and there are any number of cousins stuck with the name. It denotes, as far as I’m concerned, a lack of imagination!

But I’d rather be stuck with Christine than Abcd!
