QUOTE OF THE MONTH [bonus]

‘I had to say something, because too many people are afraid to. The person who’s born here can’t do anything or he’ll be accused of being racist. You can only complain here if you’ve got brown skin.

And the white man, what does he do? Nothing. He has to keep it under his clothes, or his hat, or whatever we say, until it builds up and up like a balloon, until one day it’ll explode and we’ll have riots and hatred and I don’t want that. I just want people to be proud to be ‘British.’

Deva Kumarasiri, a Sri-Lankan-born postmaster who is refusing to serve customers who do not speak in English.

Local Muslims are now circulating a petition demanding that Mr Kumarasiri is sacked.
