This type of decision is always a matter for the local authority, and we have contacted the authority to explain our concerns. Freedom of thought and speech are rights which are fundamental to our society; however the Government challenges views which fall short of supporting violence and are within the law, but which reject and undermine our shared values and jeopardise community cohesion.

You're dead right Larkers. Thanks to postal voting all muslim women have been disenfranchised & their votes handed to the senior male in the household. This practice includes muslims who vote Tory, not just Labour or Lib Dem. The Daily Telegraph published an article about 2 years back, showing that the outcome of the next election could well depend on votes cast by illegal immigrants & (in my opinion, the inhabitants of burquas, masks & veils.) There may "only " be 2 million muslim adults in "our" country, but they can produce 3 million votes !

You are of course contacting your M.P., Home Office, Office of the Prime Minister, et al to protest at this? Incidentally I have just spent some energy defending Edward Heath, a man I did not vote for nor never would from appeasement charges on another thread; however, I must admit, the idea that any incoming Conservative government is going to pick a fight with two million Moslms on U.K. soil is being a mite over optomistic. Moslems are well represented in marginal constituencies across the country nad have 'form' when it comes to making their points in public.
