I found this in my wanderings....
• While devout Muslims were preparing for the festival of Ramadan, with the call of the muezzin ringing out from minarets all across England's green and multicultural land, the town council of Dudley, in Worcestershire, took delivery of some pig-shaped stress relievers—those spongy things you squeeze in your hand while waiting to hear if you got a pay raise. This outrage induced terrible stress among local Muslims. Islam, you see, considers pigs to be unclean. Muslim mommies do not. amuse their babies by counting off their toes with. "This little piggy went to market . . .," etc. Well, trotting along obediently with the Zeitgeixf. (he Dudley town council (controlled, we note with a sigh, by the Conservative party) promptly rooted out all pig-related items from its offices. One council employee was ordered to get rid of a box of tissues featuring representations of Winnie the Pooh and Piglet. Having thus brought home the bacon for his co-religionists, town councilor Mahbubur Rahman snorted with satisfaction that "it's a tolerance of people's beliefs." Doesn't tolerance have something to do with leaving people alone when they're doing no harm?
England is DOOMED!!!! And we're not too far behind...
