Been there a few times mate, never had to learn any urdu. Still I would be perfectly happy to have it declared part of the People's Republic of Ethnicstan and never go there again as it's orrible.

I'd like to see it picked up and dumped around wherever the people who make up all the PC and race relations crap live. Let them be shining beacons of tolerance for the rest of us when not living in a white middle class area

Being a proper choochter I have not had much experiences to draw on..

Everyone that I have met that has not been of Scottish origin, got on with fine, doesn't seem to be an issue with me anyway.

Apart from the black lad I used to live with, he was a proper king d!ck, but not because he was Black, just because he was a tosspot.

Tim wilky, don't worry, we don't want to be associated with you Morris Dancing Sassanech's either

It's not racism, just more like ethnic banter...

A few written complaints, resignations due to constructive dismissal & tribunal cases should sort that little one out, Stig.

Hmmm was this taken from census or electoral role info, if so, I doubt half of Bradford actually bothered! As its quite possibly the other way around.

Not sure about that, plenty of young uns like the stereotypical luggage handler in Come Fly with Me, that speak English, but you could have a game of spot the white face in the town centre.

Typical Bradfordian bloke. And yes they actually did base it on a Bradford Pakistani, I recall them talking about it on Graham Norton

Try this for size.

I'm a school governor and we have quite a few traveller children in our school. Our school is always oversubscribed and it was suggested recently by a parent that traveller children get preference because, and I quote, "they are all special needs".

Tbh mate, I don't think kids without permanent residence in the catchment area should be given places over kids that do, it's not fair IMO.

Common misconception. They don't. The criteria is the same for every child. If anything, here anyways, they come further down the list because they are just out of area.

Tbh I didn't know they did until you posted you had some in your school which you said was over subscribed.
