I wonder what people have to say about that!

i for one cannot comment as i do not know the reasons why they are doing it.

Is this a hoax..fake news? a beautiful piece of countryside like that,nah..

not a hoax at all.

People understandably are opposed to it:

I had to pinch myself it was for real..

The suppliers aren’t supplying building goods because the project is not yet fully funded.
…normal practice by suppliers….but near to Barrow.

Why dont they take over a CofE or catholic church?
Plenty about.

I understand it was meant to be ‘symbolic’…..explain that to me as the local Muslim population is on the small side.

Will serve all the doctors at the local hospital.

Why do you assume the doctors are Muslims, would you refuse to be treated by a Muslim doctor ? a very racist comment in my opinion for what it’s worth.

You advising admin now…they will be pleased

.

First of all it is a comment regarding a religion, no race mentioned. Do you want the Justin Welby topic to be erased as racist.
Secondly when we want advice from you on what to do we'll ask for it.

Any better aerial shots of this 3 storey building and it's beautiful surroundings for jamie to look at.....maybe it will click.

I hear he designed it with his original LEGOver set from 1948.

It’s my opinion Derwent message boards are about opinions wether you agree with them or not, I have now edited out the part about admin removing it.
A high profile poster on The Bunker is always commenting on how racist The Bunker is though.
The Justin Welty thread is about child abuse not what his religion is.

Edited my post Snowy, don’t want to upset admin.

WTF is a high profile poster…..everyone’s opinions counts (right or wrong) and just because someone in your opinion is of these ‘high profile posters’ posts it, gives it no value over or credibility over anyone else.
If you wanna promote a personality cult bigger fool you.
High profile posters my arse.

This high profile poster..he's going to feel mighty important this morning.. Has he got an air about him when he walks into a room?

its as out of place as cologne catherdral would look on the golden mile at blackpool. nothing to do with it being about muslims but how it got through planning is what we should be looking at. do get sick of the words christian country if you look at the respective numbers who go to churches and mosques. some churches would love the same amount of away fans we get at the vic from down south for a match.

I agree about opinions but unfortunately how you or I judge the situation is irrelevant if people in higher places or positions deem our opinions to be wrong.
There are no "high profile" posters on this form.
Anti racism zealots/fanatics will always raise the race card but that doesn't mean because they do, therefore it should be upheld. They are giving their opinion and if they assume to have an opinion then they should accept that others also have opinions but, unfortunately they don't and usually resort to abuse when they don't get the result they want.
Justin Welby is not being judged on child abuse as such, he is being judged as not sufficiently dealing with the existence of it in the Church of England when he was ministerial head of that Church. As is the Church itself. The abuse is at the very heart of that particular religion.
You may disagree but that is how I see it.

Jamie,

I mentioned doctors because they are the ones pushing for a mosque and indeed a few of them are behind the planning of the mosque, that is why it is being built, for them.

https://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk ... -go-ahead/

"The mosque is intended to serve the Muslim community, including the 40-50 practicing Muslim doctors at Furness General Hospital and their families"

Why didn’t you post that in the first place to avoid the post being taken the wrong way by me Stocksfield ?

A very well put together post Derwent thanks.
Well there is one poster who gives me dogs abuse at every opportunity and you backed him up for some reason with out knowing the facts calling me a liar many times and obsessed to try and find out my identity for some reason.

It would help opinion you didn’t change your ‘facts’ daily.

When did I ever change my facts Snowy, if the poster had added a link it would have been more informative. Posters put topics up one liners, one very guilty of it no facts no link then you have to search the net to see what they are on about.

Being banned off other boards for Starters…….you’re the boards’s Chameleon…with recall problems.
Cue…When did I ever,.blah, blah, blah..l.l.

Which poster did I "back up". If it is the post I think you are referring to, I merely commented on the use of "I stopped reading at" That is giving an opinion on something not backing someone. I am allowed opinions as well, Jamie. I'm sure you'll back me up on that.

When you consider the hoops some have to jump through to get an extension on their properties in conservation zones such as the Lake District, the fact that something as hideous as this gets approval is a piss take.

Jamie, you assumed the doctors were Muslim in your reply to me and guess what you were right!

And you could have looked up the details yourself, no one stopping you.
Go and look at the planning application if you want.

If the topic interests you, then you can find out the facts for yourself.
If you are not interested, then don't reply!

You still looking for the posts where I changed my facts Snowy, I doubt you will find any though. I specifically said I was banned from non political message boards., the poster said I was banned from 2 political boards, he got that wrong on 2 counts though.
The Bunker is a footy message board although contains some politics, Facebook pages I was banned from were non political although FB has some political content, I have never been a member of any of them or any other political message boards,it’s like pulling teeth explaining stuff at times.

A poster called me a liar when he was constantly putting forward suggestions who I was and where I worked etc which were factually incorrect posh word for lies. I am not a liar never have been, but you agreed with him, saying some thing along the lines liars always get found out. The thread has since been locked down by you Derwent, tbh the poster was and still is paranoid about my identity for some reason, no idea what he is trying to achieve ?

I did eventually but why post half a story. ?

But it wasn’t half a story, it was you assuming the worst with your usual knee jerk response

When I get a minute I'll scroll through that thread and get to the bottom of it but I honestly can't remember writing anything like liars are always found out but as I say I will have a butchers. The term I usually use about liars is they have to have a good memory because the danger is their story usually changes.

I have checked thelocked thread Jamie and I posted twice on it.
First post was a ten word reply to your statement that you stopped reading Leggie's post at a certain point. That reply by me was to say that your reply was a classic example of some one who has been rumbled. No mention of agreeing or disagreeing with you being called a liar and no mention of lying itself.
Second post was in answer to your insistence on needing an aplogy in which I explained that there was no mention by me of what you were accusing me of, which you obviously haven't read. So I think you've got the wrong guy mate.
If you are in any doubt, you can ask Mr I to read my two posts in that thread.

Some more pics:

now thats the main point of the whole story for me and not the traders who are really doing the job the planners should have done in the first place.

ever heard of DIY. no, only DEI.

It looks like an art deco cinema…circa 1931.

or the sultans palace in one of those desert films with the foreign legion or the set for the remake of the desert song.

Well it's a bit grander than the old pub which morphed into Shotton Colliery's "Muslim Educational Centre" - that is definitely not a mosque, no sir, no way, honest guv.

Durham County Council refused permission for it to be used as a mosque a while back, and so it rebranded itself as an "Educational Centre".

Various locals however are not convinced, and it's often a talking point on (anti) social media. Some robust comments are put forward by the Axe Men, Axe Women and Axe LGBTers, but to my knowledge the owners have consistently denied that it is a place of worship.

Which of course it isn't.

Not at all.

Nothing to see here, move along...

they are just doing exactly the same down my way calling them educational centres but the biggest part of them are the separate prayer rooms for the men and women. the educational part is a big box room with a table and a handful of chairs in it.

From the photos I've seen of the inside of the one in Shotton, it would appear that there's a pattern developing here of "not mosques" as it's exactly as you describe.

Bet the authorities would be sharp on my back if I got loads of drink and turned my back bedroom into a "not pub"...!

Surely an…’Alcohol Education Centre’

a good use for a closed town centre shop would be the one stop shop for the druggies to obtain what they want and call that the drug eductational centre where you can get advice as well as the drug to give you a new high.

Now there's an idea. I've got no formal teaching qualifications mind, but loads of practical experience.

Oh, and a doctor's certificate in cirrhosis I obtained from the University Hospital of Hartlepool in 2023..!

It already has, UK's first official consumption room for illegal drugs including heroin and cocaine will open in Glasgow on 21 October.
