FURIOUS mums told of their "humiliation" today after they were kicked out of a council-funded children's playgroup — because they were BRITISH.

Making Links gets a £1,000 annual grant from St Neots Town Council.

Bizarrely its website says it "seeks to operate in the spirit of the Commission for Racial Equality" and its ambition includes "bringing communities together and facilitating interaction between them" and developing "cross-cultural friendships".

Its administrator Roger Owen said that the group is not a "typical" playgroup and is funded entirely for women from other nationalities.

He said: "We believe there are plenty of other alternatives for British mothers in the town."


So can we have British only Clubs then ? Media URL: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3360154/Playgroup-ban-for-being-British.html

So you don't want the schools to be full of kids that can't speak English and then when groups are set up to attack the problem you whine and call it lefty pinko pandering

Would that be about it?
Do we still have men only clubs?

The club across the road from my Mum...she thought 'great they have a snooker table' but guess what...women were not allowed to play.
Normally I supply my opinion on anything and everything on the AB - but since this is addressed to - ahem - You Pinko lefties - I am not covered by that demographic, and as such, i am excluded from a response.

Ironic - given that the thread is actually concerned with exclsusion, but there we are ...
I think it's absolutely wrong to have a play group especcially for other nationalities and I can't see how that helps with social intergration, in my eyes, the more varied the group of people you mix with the healthier your social outlook will be.
>>>>>>So you don't want the schools to be full of kids that can't speak English and then when groups are set up to attack the problem you whine

But this playgroup is exactly the opposite.

It is ENCOURAGING foreign mothers to stick together and NOT speak English or mix with people who can speak English.

As per usual in this country we bend over backwards for the people who have just turned up on the doorstep rather than those who were born here.
The group was 'funded entirely for women from other nationalities'. I'd think it was designed to help those mothers and their children with their language skills.
Where's the problem?
And what language are these kids and mothers from lots of different countries going to end up speaking to each other?

Take a wild stab in the dark!

Surely this is discrimination on race? If that gay couple managed to screw £1800 out of teh B&B that wouldn't ket them stay, surely these mothers can do the same?
It shouldn't happen, How on earth is it going to encourage the
"bringing communities together and facilitating interaction between them"

Someone please explain, how it will do that better with the exclusion of the British?

Obviously they do not want it to be dominated by Brits, but totally excluding them?
Wrong.
aah I didn't think of that, if it's essentially a language school with a limit on numbers then it would be understandable but surely they should have explained such a thing to the family. It's hard to get a true picture of the situation from one sided sensationalist journalism.
Would many English mothers need help with language? Well, maybe |Sun reading mothers might..

Sandy, stick a child who can not speak english, in with children who can.
Guess what happens. The speed that a child can learn a new language is amazing.
A Turkish lad started at my kids school last year, in no time at all he was speaking broad Yorkshire.
That's different from our schools Mick. The Polish children in the class do not speak or understand a lot of English and slow the rest of the class down considerably.

Yes, slate it as sensationist journalism, good one, that should shut us up.

Point is if you crested a 'English only' speakling group what would happen ? I'll tell you the full force of the law that;s what.

And yes Sandy, despite your pathetic put down of Sun readers, if they dont have the language skills why should they be excluded ?
>>>>seeks to operate in the spirit of the Commission for Racial Equality" and its ambition includes "bringing communities together and facilitating interaction between them" and developing "cross-cultural friendships">>>>.

So the first thing that we must due to facilitate cross cultural friendship is to kick out the host nation.

Yepp...seems normal behaviour to me. That should cement racial relationships nicely.
The group might afford mothers in an alien land the chance to socialise which they might not otherwise have.
Steve although youngmafbog dosen't dress as far to the right as AOG, he still has the same right wing view anyone who doesn't agree with him fits the catogory.

I suspect that only someone who would suggest a quick dose of napalm on the school and deportation for any survivors, wouldn't be classed in the catagory.

Take that you commie.
I agree with Mick. When a few Polish kids started at my sons school I was amazed at quickly the could speak fluent English.
