turtlehead 7 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 just done a bit of research and it appears it was tried in 2006 but was a huge failure having sold only about 1000 tickets of an expected 28000.i doubt very much after such a failure that alton towers(or whichever group wanted to book it) would try it again.sounds like one of the usual scare emails to get peoples knickers in a twist. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/aug/03/uknews2.mainsection Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well, first of all "multiculturalism" doesn't work. "Integration" is what should have been practiced, now it seems things are in a bit of a mess. Second off, people who don't agree with the Alton Towers thing should: Find out what day it's on, and go have a peaceful protest. Start writing letters to the management, media, and whomever else. Ranting & raving, or posting certain things won't change anything. Be smart and use the same tactics that would be used should the situation have been reversed. You're right, John, except if the situation was reversed there wouldn't be peaceful protests, there'd be marching down the streets screaming anti-british insults whist burning our flag.... Quite possibly Andy, my point specifically included the word peaceful. No point in lowering yourself to other tactics. Base it on human or civil rights or some such. It's surprising what a well organized, non knuckle dragging protest can achieve. Pensioners, yep, blue rinse brigade, protested here year before last I think it was and almost brought down the govt at the time. All it takes is persistence, the thing is the other lot have it in bucket loads while the rest prefer to moan. Certainly not directed towards you Andy, but there's a reason the phrase "Put up, or shut up" was brought into existence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Certainly not directed towards you Andy, but there's a reason the phrase "Put up, or shut up" was brought into existence. I take your point 100%, John. I'm not raceist but that said, I don't like what's happening to the UK and also in the rest of Western Europe, I feel we're getting very close to some kind of tipping point from which there's no return. As for your use of the word peaceful...... Hmm.... Yes, if there was a protest by non muslims about this then I think there'd be every chance it would be a peaceful one, but our cultures differ. They would scream and shout and burn flags, it's their way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 They would scream and shout and burn flags, it's their way. My view is that is their problem. People who would like to see some things changed need to worry less about what others do. Concentrate instead on what can be done in a peaceful and productive manner and then stick at it. That's what changes things, it doesn't happen overnight but it does work. No government ever likes seeing people protesting. going off on a tangent but it's the reason food production is subsidised in the EU, to feed the population which makes that population happy. An unhappy population is a problem. The smart thing is to be unhappy without giving cause for action to be taken against you. I couldn't care less whether people are black, brown, white or whatever, or what God if any they worship. I keep myself to myself and keep my head down. I think if something is a problem for someone, then tackle it head on, don't run to the herd. You can go a long way back in history and see people of different gender, races, and creeds struggle for one thing or another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twobob 1,497 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 "We're trying to get muslims to go to this day because they wouldnt normally go somewhere like alton towers.We are trying to intergrate muslims in to the wider community.People can come down and see the way we live.It will ba a peaceful family environment" only place i dont see them is while out lamping and early mornings when iam off to work. how can they intergrate if only muslims attending they should know how they live they are all muslims Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ideation 8,216 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Anyone can book the place for the day, i could book it and have a welsh people over 6ft only day. You short english folk would be refused entry. It's hardly like it's an alton towers policy to refuse entry to non muslims etc. It's just business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
