Take that thing off your head (Ode) by lukehanney
Take that veil off your head You're scaring the kids, they think you're Judge Dredd All they see is your scary eyes They think your nose is made of pies They can't see your mouth so they conclude You eat your meals through a rubber tube Your ears and cheeks are hidden away How you hear nobody can say So take that veil off your head I'm sure you've got a lovely keg But if you won't I've had enough I'll tell the press about your dandruff.

Up the ladder: PEOPLE. (Debut)
Down the ladder: Murderers in the Tropics

I do believe that this is about Jade Goody's wedding day...

Hello there Luke, my old nemesis, back with a transparently racist and unpleasant poem. Unless it is actually a subtle piece of satire aimed at the current unfathomable media obsession with Muslim women wearing veils.

Of course they banned veils in French schools. A silly law if you ask me, and one that betrays their fundamental misunderstanding of what separation of Church and State really means. I'm told they also banned the teaching of Religious Education. Again, a pitiful decision. They probably don't understand that Religious Education doesn't have to promote any particular religion, or even present arguments for or against religion. It merely instructs people on the belief sets of the major religions: valuable information for anyone wanting to avoid giving unnecessary offence. I hold a half-GCSE in Religious Education (grade B), and it has prevented many a faux pas in my time. The British RE half-GCSE can basically be summed up in three lines:

Hindus believe in Hindu.
Islams believe in Muslim.
Christians are normal.
