“Snapshots” Of Today’s Labour Britain
Just before sending in photos to renew a passport, a member of the wife’s family had received the following info sheet in the mail. The moment I saw it, I knew it had to be scanned. Why? Look at it carefully:
It is no secret that today there are more ways to be “British” than ever before. “Diversity” is part of Western life nowadays. However, while that above manages to be inclusive, to do so it manages to exclude most of the population.
For, according to that government handout, apparently no one in Britain today is a white male over toddler age, or a non-niqab wearing female younger than pensioner (meaning “retirement”) age. Actually, to be more precise as to that latter, there are no younger “white” women . . . except, of course, for one who manages to be a fringe part of an “incorrect” photo, that is. Indeed, perhaps we’ve stumbled upon another reason why Ms Phillips has no right to a UK passport?
Hmmm. Somebody explain to me why you can wear a niqab but not a hat? Isn’t that discrimination as well? This is pretty good – I’ll probably use it at my web site as well.
John beat me to it. The problem isn’t a white toddler, it’s that an obscuring garment is now accepted as a passport photo. This is simply not acceptable. Most photos with eyeglasses are rejected because they “obscure” bits like eyebrows or make it difficult to judge the distances between landmark points.
More disgusting is the fact that Amish women (for example) are NOT allowed to wear bonnets for the same religious reasons that Muslim women are allowed to cover their heads.
Fool Britannia.
Erm, could you spell out what your actual problem with the instructions is?
