| #6 Dolphin kebabs - not tried those. Anyway this is just blatant discrimination against kebab vendors who would never harm anyone (apart from spitting in you doner at 2 a.m.) |

| #5 From the Glasgow Evening Times: One of the Manchester raids involved a swoop on a flat above a kebab shop in Upper Brook Street. Police moved in and sealed the road, which is close to the city centre. Officers kept the immediate area secure while a detailed search of the premises was carried out. Two police vans were parked outside a restaurant close by, and more officers were on patrol at the back of the property at the centre of the raid. It houses Dolphins takeaway and what appeared to be a residential flat. Imad Alsabbagh, 46, owner of the Petra Syrian Restaurant next door, said he had known the person who lived in the flat for about a year. He said he was a man in his mid 20s. He added: "I came here at 9am today to see the police cordon. "I asked the police what had happened but they gave me no information. The people that run the takeaway are neighbours. They said 'hello', they are nice people and hard workers. They are Iraqi Kurds." Humm, Ansar? |
