PAKISTANIS ONLY SCANDAL A sign reading ‘Pakistani family only’ has appeared in the window of a house for rent in Lancashire. The illegal notice was seen on Railway Street in the heavily Muslim area of Nelson in Lancashire. Passers by who spotted the sign immediately reported it to Lancashire police who responded by saying they “weren’t interested”. Following even more complaints, police asked the landlord to take the sign down because “it wasn’t very nice.” In light of the police failure to investigate this crime, residents contacted their MEP, Nick Griffin, to help. Nick took time out of his busy re-election campaign to see for himself and take the issue up with local police to whom he reported a ‘hate crime’. “This is a very serious matter, and a further example of how the authorities and the police have one rule for the English, and another rule for everyone else,” Nick told reporters. “Had this been an English landlord he would have been raked through the coals, already fast-tracked through to court and now be facing years in jail on a race crime. The double-standards in this case are a staggering, and I’m now campaigning to ensure that not only is this sign taken down, but the landlord prosecuted and Lancashire police exposed for their gross double-standards. The last high profile case of this kind was in 1976 when Robert Relf advertised his house as being ‘For Sale - to an English family only’ – he received a prison sentence. In the 40 years since Relf was jailed, much greater sentences have been imposed for such crimes. What do you think should happen to the Pakistanis only landlord?
