It's like Alice's looking glass world - nothing makes any sense (unless you are in the oil business, in which case, everything makes perfect sense). Bingo!!

What i find alarming and confusing is that its the first generation born of immigrant parents who seem to be the most displaced and extreme.Not just muslim kids either my parents are irish i was born in england you wouldnt believe the turmoil dual nationality causes i saw it in the scottish and jamaican kids too. Took me years to get my head round it now i like/hate the irish as much as the english.I now think anybody who defines themselves by nationality or religion is ten bob short.The welcome the immigrants get on arrival can and does have repercussions i was brought up being told i was irish,the jamaican kids as jamaican etc its madness my kids class themselves europeans and hopefully somewhere down the line my descendants will class themselves as global citizens there is no other answer i can imagine.There is a long way to go and i think it will get worse before it gets better shite realy.

bit of a rant that sorry pet peeve of mine.
