could you see this ever happening in UK?

hard line muslim groups have threatened to shut down a Miss world pageant in Indonesia on the grounds of indecency and cultural inappropriateness and they will do it with force if necessary. You are a tolerant lot over there aren't you just!

I honestly can't see too many folk being upset over this particular incident MB, I mean Miss World stuff is pretty old hat these days don't yer think? and quite a few people view these pageants as sexist anyway

Ah but get the Islamic extremists in UK objecting to one in UK and the country would come out in arms against them!

I hope they do manage to put a stop to it - peacefully. I didn't know this type of cattle parade was still going.

fancy talking about your good sisters in that way - no wonder we cannot trust women and why men organize the Miss World contest!
