A pub had a sign up yesterday that read "NO ENGLISH"...
The cheek of it!!! Mind you I did read it in The Star
If it was in the Star, it must be true!!! 
However, it wasn't all that long ago that three Irish Travellers walked into a bar and were refused a drink. Immediately the Commission for Racial Equality barged in and funded (and indemnified the plainants against losses) a Race Relations Act discrimination case. The judge perversely found in favour of the plainants and was so outraged that three men couldn't get ****** on account of their irish traveller heritage, even though this sector has no language of its own, it does not come from a defined area, it has no history (only be around for a few years) and no distinct cultural identity.
Now.....to my personal gripe......
Cornish schoolchildren, with their language, distinct geographical locality, their non-English culture, their seperate history and traditions etc. are deliberately refused an education by the state that reflects their cultural identity (to preserve the feudally derived income of Charles, Duke of Cornwall) - that's REAL discrimination because the Irish Travellers are now an officially recognised group and receive state funding and benefits whilst the Cornish, an indigenous minority with a vast cultural wealth, language and history, especially in regard to engineering prowess, get sod all, zilch, diddly squat!
