I think Jim Ratcliffe was openly, and shockingly racist, and gave no credit for the value added to our economy over the years by hardworking immigrants

- we simply could not have managed without them, because our birthrate is not congruent with the needs of an aging population as many of us live much longer than we used to.
the NHS, the care profession, and many a person seeking a Polish Plumber (to give a well worn cliche an outing) could hardly exist.

His comments seek to divide us and to encourage racism, and yes, while he funds a footie club from afar haven for the tax dodger. Interviews with some of the fans, themselves sons of immigrants, show just how horrific his comments were - turning fans against fans.

CariadAgain 15.00 "Maximum decibel limit for "call to prayer" depends on local authority - and will not be allowed to exceed 70 decibels".

NO not 70 decibels- I corrected my typo- the limit is 10 (TEN) decibels- MUCH LESS. Anything above that noise limit or any Adan's outside the times allowed, as in every circumstance, Mosque, church, Night club, early am dustbin men ( this is not an immigrant issue in itself) New York residents should make their complaint to the authorities for noise abatement action.

What has that got to do with call to prayer in New York. You know New York isn't in Britain.
