Have I just got on a list or something? Am I suddenly listed on some directory or past a certain technorati threshold? Free mobile phones for a month, yes, that we like but today I got an email from a website called Family Security Matters linking me to an article about how multiculturalism is destroying Britain saying my readers might be interested in it.

I only read the synopsis and the info I could find out from Google about these people but I think I can pretty safely say that the only interest my readers would have in this is to mock it. This is, apparently, a site which called on Bush to become president for life. Personally, I like multicultural Britain. I can get a wide variety of food, ingredients, music and opinion and so on partially due to it. I am mystified by the people who seem to feel that unless everyone is taking part in their traditions they are suddenly under threat somehow (c.f. nativity plays, etc). I'm just not buying it. Frankly, I suspect that the reason quite few schools give up on nativities is that teachers get bored with them after a while and want a change - thats certainly what my unscientific survey of teachers I know suggests.

Soon you'll find that you're becoming comfortable and familiar with ideas that were once foreign or too complex.

That's a relief, then. I was also relieved to see that the original Greek/Latin mashup which was the word encyclopedia has been made less "foreign" and more "comfortable and familiar" through the neologism of "enfactlopedia".

Apparently, this article was supposed to have been pulled some months ago; I'd love to run your e-mail with its full source code through SpamCop to see who is actually peddling this appalling nonsense in the UK. [shudders]
