They really go out of their way to make a fool of themselves.
It’s videos like this that set off the native populations and make them believe that the Islands are being overwhelmed by strange folk.
It’s why I honestly believe that any right-thinking and aspirational coloured (or Person of Colour) would do well to vote for the Tory Party; Labour has compromised with these retrograde elements for far too long.
At the very least if they want to do these Sufi Chants in a public sphere ; they should have half-naked bellydancers (of both sexes) writing suggestively around to assure everyone it’s sexy fierce.
Though it’s a two way relationship as well; after the jump I’ve shared a shockingly offensive tweet by a Remainers suggesting Asian companies don’t honour their commitments. From the way the tweets are written the chap just doesn’t seem on the ball on how to do international business, sorry to say! One shouldn’t take a colonial attitude to the Rising Powers of the East.

What has Europe got to do with BritPaks?
In fact, I’ve heard of BritPaks voting for Brexit because they thought it will reduce the competition for immigration from Europe.
Zack, have you ever been to an Indian court ? Tried to do business in India ? 4.5 years of Modi and our courts remain more understaffed than ever before. So much for pro-business.

Vikram, can you write a series of articles on economic policy changes you think India should make?
I would put adding new judges, public prosecutors and advocates, and police officers (plus paying all of them a lot more) near the top of the list.
Still I think the ease of doing business in most of India is improving. There is a long way to go.
Yup
This is kind of sweeping that certain NRIs often believe in. I have attempted the same thing I am doing about 12 years ago (albeit with something newer) and in general, the nation has improved business practices a lot in the last 20 years. Of course, certain states (AP, K., TN, M, G) are certainly superior. I have not been to the courts yet, and hope not to go there.
Before NRIs become disgusted by what they see on video, I strongly recommend going to southern and western states, and start a business there. The issues are not the same as, say, 20 years ago. Land cost, labor cost (not engineers but technicians), and certain infrastructure costs (still low GBPS) are not negligible; things have picked up over the last several years, but we have been kicked in the balls by the demonetization fiasco. That set us back a year.
A different set of problems! If we are talking problems, we should focus on the correct problems.
Vijay India has become far more business friendly than it use to be. India is reforming regulation and taxation. I am very optimistic to be honest.
Bit by bit
Good post.
🙂
Is it only me or does the audio seem amplified? The chanting seems real enough but reactions of people around the scene do not seem proportional to the loudness one hears in the video.
Without even being Muslim, not able to see what is so objectionable here. Have seen similar (unamplified) chanting at airports here when high school teams come home after winning away games, and nobody cares. Maybe Zack is too sensitive to what he perceives as strangeness of his people.
As an Indian-American, I find this video deeply disturbing. Although I’m AGAINST Brexit because I’d like to see a strong EU Counterpoint to the USA, I can understand all the white-anxiety against pro-immigration that many in the UK experience.
I’d like to point out that I’m pro- and anti- immigration at the same time. I’m pro-immigration when it comes to allowing smart, assimilate-able, and healthy people, especially if they can fill some labor shortage.
However, I’m very much against losers like these shouters from coming into the USA, and before you call me an “Islamophobe,” I don’t care if they chanted “Hallelujah,” “Praise the Lord,” or “Haré Krishna”, or “Shalom.”
I personally can’t take ⋆Paul Joseph Watson⋆ seriously anymore since the masterful takedown of his “Soy Boys” issue[s] by ⋆Hbomberguy⋆.
Plus those guys are sufis. The best the Islamic world has to offer. Prefer idiots chanting like raving lunatics to your quiet salafi walking bomb. You hear much much worse on the Underground at an away match.
The regular [predominantly] Brit Pakistani underage female grooming issue up north [and elsewhere] is something to be embarrassed about. This completely one-off mostly harmless idiocy is not.
Brilliant comment Butul.

Bingo
“The regular [predominantly] Brit Pakistani underage female grooming issue up north [and elsewhere] is something to be embarrassed about. This completely one-off mostly harmless idiocy is not.”
Agreed.
Yes but even embarrassing ourselves in an airport is like “broken glass”
