| #4 I think Tony's okay. "There can be no excuse for Madrassahs not meeting their legal requirements and they will be enforced vigorously." Good idea. " . . . we should share a common language. Equal opportunity for all groups requires that they be conversant in that common language." Right. "It is a matter both of cohesion and of justice that we should set the use of English as a condition of citizenship." Go Tony. |

| #3 Talking about how to "make it work" by tweaking going forward is like someone talking about how piracy and privateering needs a little modification and it will be a useful tool of state. In fairness, privateering was an excellent tool of state for Elizabeth I. If we started issuing Royal Charters to companies prepared to take and hold, say, Iranian oil-fields and distribution facilities I'd say we could win this thing at no cost to the tax-payer. |

| #2 Multiculutralism, particularly the evangelical type like this, has ALREADY failed. Talking about how to "make it work" by tweaking going forward is like someone talking about how piracy and privateering needs a little modification and it will be a useful tool of state. Those who do not acknowledge the proven failure of multiculti (and the fundamentalist approach to "celebrating diversity") are among the most reactionary people on the planet today, and the irony is that they believe themselves to be the most "progressive." |

| #1 Tony is not a part of the solution, he's a part of the problem. |
