Oldham council builds massive houses just for Muslims.

JG | 30.07.2006 13:33 | Analysis | Social Struggles

Oldham council has chosen to direct huge resources towards the Asian and Muslim areas of the town, since the race riots of 2001. Is there a danger of forgetting about the white working class?

The article as reported here:

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/5213588.stm

The houses built are specifically with Muslims in mind, all have been given to Muslims, and all the houses are between 5 and 7 bedrooms.

There has been no equivalent investment in white areas of that town. Are the Oldham authorities sending whites in that town a message?
