Of course it would be acceptable. Skin colour shouldn't come in to it. There some people on the forum who appear obsessed with the colour of other people's skin. I rather get the impression that some people get up in the morning and eagerly look to see if there is anything in the news anti-white people that they can post about. Why does skin colour matter? We are all born with a brain, heart etc. Edited August 26, 2023 by A.B.Yaffle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The Conservative Government let in a record 600,000 not Khan. The Mayor does have various powers, but it doesn't extend to immigration.

Quoters?  Stop giving criminals who enter country illegally a pot of gold? There's plenty of criminals from these shores, let alone new ones entering.  Majority of immigrants I've come to know are settling in with jobs- especially their own businesses.  According to Better Future Project Partners- Migrant entrepreneurs are creating one in every seven new businesses in the UK.

I do worry about the effect on nationals. For example, if there are 4 laundrette businesses in one street...profits dwindle for each business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

They have ppl from all backgrounds queuing to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The food industry can be a competetive game, on Sharrowale Road and surrounding streets, there is so much competition, if I was opening a cafe, I'd avoid that street and find somewhere else.  English people do own foreign food businesses, the owner of Streetfood Chef (Mexican) is English. Icaarus & Apollo (African) is owned by English people and The Porter Pizza (Italian) is owned by an English lady. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
