Jim,
"Are you suggesting that they are placed 'on limits'?"

No Jim,I am offering no ways of solving the problem, only reporting Straw's explanation of it.
If you have a better one, I will consider it.
But you don't.
Right Jim?

"Then why do you continue to insist that it is an aspect of British Pakistani culture (IT IS STRAW WHO INSISTS, BECAUSE THEIR GIRLS ARE OFF LIMITS)and why did you edit any references to it not being a racial issue out of Straw's statement?"
EXACTLY! I HAD NO REASON TO EDIT IT OUT, AND I DID NOT.
IT WAS JUST NOT WORTH POSTING!
