Bulletproof turbans and the Mail

I have (thus far unsuccessfully) attempted to submit a positive comment on this story, about Sikh coppers being allowed to wear bulletproof turbans so they can take part in firearms exercises. My comment was a positive one, lauding the move that proves devoted Sikhs can be just as good at the job as anyone else - but for some reason it's not been published yet.

Whereas this has been:



Yes, it says that. It really says that.

Sikhs, Muslims - all the same, aren't they?

*update* Aha, some progress...

It seems to have gone now.

I've tried to submit a positive comment also, sneaked in under the old saw of "this sort of innovation is what made Britain great". No sign of it yet though.

So far the reactionary comments are getting negative scoring. That could just be you and me though.

Muslims are not Sikhs, There would be riot if you said that to a group of them.

You missed one:

Another riduculous idea bowing to the minorities and changing the English way of life now for Sikhs. Are Sikhs any better than Muslims???? CERTAINLY NOT!!!!

If you're a minority but not a Gurkha theres no hope for any kind of tolerance from the Mail.
