Head teacher of Keighley school complex aims to give all a chance to belong (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Best you cover yeresell then. Tip 't toe.

Burn all yer 'woman' books and don't think, ever.

Ever.

We are also considering bringing people in from other areas to encourage integration.”

and it continues,,oh dear.
ITS NOT WORKING!

Let all those in the area remember their HERITAGE.

Let's call the school something meaningful that defines the history of this area of Kelghley , ah yes, MERLIN TOP !!
It sounds as though the name already caters for the druggies, let's hope the burglaries don't close the school by Christmas !!

it hasnt and wont!!most dont even have the decency to speak english and theyve been here for years,how on earth can you expect to integrate when you cant be ar**d to speak its langugage...but are more than happy to take the benefits that comes with it...its all so so one sided,and they whinge,moan riot at the drop of a hat anyway!the whole concept of the idea sounded great,but lets be honest no one can really say its worked....of course this will make me a racist in the rolled eyes of some islamic teapot!!

Merlin Top. What the he*l is that about. It was Guard House school when I was a kid.

As for the integration bit. Well without wanting to sound predudiced. No asians would venture within a mile of the rat hole council estate that is Braithwaite.

With the possible exception of some sales persons.

Thankfully, it's just an extreme minority that think integration won't work.
.
It *can* work if done properly (i.e. *everyone* pulling in the same direction).
.
And I hate to say this, but most of the time, it's the White folk that tend to have a chip on their shoulder, not the other way around.
.
Example : Black and Asian peeps want to mingle with the White folk; White folk resent that (for some odd reason), so they make life very difficult for the non-White peeps, which leads to resentment from the Black and Asian folk.
.
See where this is heading ? - so for all the ignoramuses blaming 'outsiders' for all the problems, maybe you ought to take a bit of a closer look at home ?
.
What say you ?

im not extremist just an averge joe but can see its not working when it comes to asian muslims esp in the city of bradford,the west indians,hindus sikhs,poles eastern europeans have integrated the muslims havent,if you want extremists than i suggest you know which type of place of worship in which to look........iona dont try kid yourelf and others the west indians dont get on with asians and find it difficult to live with them...as for white people having a chip well white people have seen whats happened in this city,theyve seen rioting with pubs burnt down, a ctiy flooded with drugs from an obvious scouce,asians youths who have little if any respect for the law and quite frankly are out of control,and yet cry racial cards at the drop of a hat!!i would put it to you iona if i was to behave in Pakistan as many asians are behaving in this country i would be lucky to have a head on my shoulders never mind a chip!!

I say if it wasnt for the incomers the particular problem wouldnt exist!
I think you would find that Black and Asian persons are not resented by most whites, what they dont like is those who have declared that their loyalty above all else is to their religion, those who call persons they have never met who dont speak the same language or live in a country they have ever visited their brothers.
With regard to the topic and integration, why are some English speaking people sending their born in this country offspring to school with no knowledge of speaking the language of this country? It IS still happening especially I believe with girls.

I say your right.

I'm not saying every Black and Asian person(s) is perfect, but those that actually *try* to fit in with the majority, are sometimes brushed away or have snide remarks made against them.
.
I've spoken to quite a few people in this situation, and unfortunately it's a lose-lose situation.
.
If the 'right' people are making an effort and they're getting this kind of treatment (from those that should be accepting them), what hope is there ?

i agree with some of your post iona,but i do think the average white person has seen enough now to realize that integration isnt going to happen..people will of course put on spin and gloss over but deep down the divisions are widening and dare i say at a risk of battlelines been drawn.Just look at the situation in NI the politicians get on but does that mean thier respective communities get on..i think most people were at some stage receptive but with rioting,religous extremism,suicide bombers,honour killings etc most people feel put off or at least in some cases not very sympathetic toward muslim asians.

unfortunately those that do try to fit in with the majority that you mention are in a minority and its the rest of those that refuse or dont attempt to "fit in" that cause the problem for everyone else .
