1. His comrades were not allowed to visit him in an NHS hospital while in uniform because it might offend Muslim patients and Staff………. Do Muslims not get embarrassed about this stuff?

3. If you can donate, go to www.timesonline/sundaytimesappeal. Please note donations are not for the typist.

Meanwhile an English Schoolteacher is incarcerated in Sudan for letting her pupils name a Teddy Bear Mohammed. Hmmmmmm Aussie guy, spiders……Opportunity knocks here , I personally am very tempted.
