The most amazing thing is the way they've made it so fucking obvious it's an anti-Islamic move... first of all they were going to have a dig at Halal practises (which I've got a bit of sympathy for), but because they'd have to curb Kosher at the same time it was dropped.
So they attack Minarets instead and publicise it with a picture of the Swiss flag dotted with minarets and the sillouhette of a veiled woman looking oddly militant.
Nasty politics.

Call me Parsons but it's pretty obvious there's something fishy going on.

Also, Bob Crow on Have I Got News For You.
WTF are you doing! If you're the most unfunny person in the world don't go on that fucking program!
He may be my hero but he's totally, totally not funny.

He came across as a total douche, I thought. I don't know a great deal about him, but I think he should thank his lucky stars that Hislop et al didn't have the knives out too badly, they could've given him a serious malling! He must be pretty confident in himself to go on and even more so to be interrupting with his own "jokes"...

He annoyed me mostly,

Ian Hislop is hardly a big enemy of the left, what a silly thing to say to him.

Of course, the real story is neither pro not anti islam. The Swiss economy needs immigrants, that's not going to change, and no party is really going to stop immigration. Likewise no swiss party is really going to allow the immigrants to enjoy full rights; that would defeat the object of the immigration in the first place. So instead the debate is framed over this cultural issue, that allows both right and left wing to pose as representing important principles. Swizerland's capitalist economy is partly based on recruiting a steady supply of labour from outside of the cantons themselves; this is a country with a very high level of immigration and also some of the tightest citizenship rules. Swiss citizens have a high standard of living and entitlement to many social benefits - something that almost all immigrants are denied. So the economy gets workers, many of them skilled, without having to pay the full social benefits they would usually have to. It's how a lot of London and the south-east's economy works.

Still can't decide on a new phone. Need something around 100-150 that has touchscreen, decent camera and either 3G or WiFi. WHY DOESN'T THIS PHONE EXIST?!
