Alton Towers

In fact ... what's the difference between this and blonde poker taking over the broadway card room in Jan for a night, or cin cins, or Walsall in September?

LOL I've found my forum twin... I was posting the same thing!

But, Heid there is a difference... we are not insisting that other visitors to the casino/hotel/cardroom and its staff all wear a certain dress and refrain from doing things that our society would consider as normal.

Assume a wedding party had booked the broadway at the same time, in a different function room. And TightEnd wrote to the wedding party and told them, sorry, we've booked this hotel after you for a bash thats bigger than you and as we are teetotal you will not be able to drink during the length of your stay. Oh and BTW, cover up your bodies because frankly they offend us! Especially the frumpy bride.

At BB1, no-one was allowed to play the poker tournament except blondes, I saw them turn people away.

Thats fair enough - thats what a block booking entails. In BB1, the casino didn't fuck up by inadvertantly booking two exclusive parties on the same day. But were those people turned away from the cardroom and told they couldn't drink, and to cover up their legs and arms? Or have any other restrictions imposed on the freedom that living in this society has afforded us?

We asked anyone to join our forum, and adhere to our rules, or they couldn't play.

That's our equivalent of that?

They have paid for the right to have a bespoke service, I am sure that it was on the understanding that no-one else would be there. Kinda like someone prebooking a comp when we were there and then starting to spout unblondelike stuff....wewouldn't want that in our community - they don't want their equivalent rules broken?

I hope it p*sses it down all day!

why?

just because some people from another religious group are enjoying themselves?

This comment was made after a post saying something about integrating into British Society, so what better way than it pissing it down all day!   Sheesh    CHILL!

I missed that one before!  We wouldn't want it raining on the nice couple's wedding day!

Their wedding day is the day before!

I would like to bring it to your attention that on Sunday September 17th Alton Towers will be closed to everyone apart from Muslims.

Alton Towers staff will ensure there is no music, the bars will be closed and the entire park will adhere to Sharia Law. This of course is racist and discriminatory against the rest of the citizens of Britain.

Yes this is a private and corporate event but it is a case of exclusion for Britons on our own soil.

Could you imagine if I approached Tussauds (Alton Towers) with a view to making a corporate booking where Muslims were unwelcome then they would almost certainly refuse my business as they would be terrified of being branded as "corporate racists".

I cannot understand how this booking was made or even considered myself?! What if the shoe were on the other foot? Im pretty sure there would be protests all over the show!

I disagree

i this not the same as my work (Network Rail) approaching the Hilton hotel and asking to hire the full building out.

would our rival company (Jarvis Rail) feel discriminated against if they cant hire a room out that weekend?

Dave, can I just say at this point that I agree with what you say - theres nothing wrong with block booking a hotel/theme park/<insert thing to be block booked here>.

The issue I had with this was the fact that the wedding party has been discriminated against, the organisation arranging the Muslim day out wrote to all the wedding guests demanding that they (the wedding guests) adhere to the strict Muslim dress code and no drinking rules, plus the "no fratanising with the opposite sex on a ride" rule.

I find that quite offensive to be honest, its tantamount to me coming up to you and demanding to you "remove that green and white shirt because its offensive to my protestant eyes" (example... Im not actually protestant

cool mate, im not speaking to-wards you, im more concerned with the initial post on this thread, which mainly states that its the fact its Muslim hiring the place out that is causing the aggravation? this concerns me!

Try reading my other post first!

I think I've missed the meat of this debate, so can't add much.

I'll just say that I hope it doesn't piss it down, and everyone has a lovely time.

Nope, thats not the same.

Heres the correct analogy.

Group 1: Wedding party. Book some sort of casino & poker theme night at the broadway for a certain weekend. They are told that other patrons would be there but all facilities would be open to them, and there would be a poker tournament should their guests which to participate on the Saturday night.


Group 2: Blonde poker. Block book the cardroom of said Broadway casino on said same weekend, for the Saturday night. They stipulate that its for a private function, and that the cardroom will be maxed out by its guests. The casino agrees with this, and agrees to the terms and conditions that only guests of the blonde poker booking will be allowed into the card room.

Now. . . Broadway realises theres been a MASSIVE fk up. They contact both parties to tell them the script. Blonde poker then writes to each individual member of the wedding party to say "listen, we have booked the casino for our private function. We cannot tell you not to come because the casino has fecked up. But the poker is off limits, its fully booked. Additionally, here are our rules and we expect them to be obeyed. All women must be completely naked."

Ok trace thanks for clearing that up..... it reads wrong, since the initial post has now been deleted...And i hate racists

Thanks again trace xx

ROFL! I stand corrected:)

Its not the booking that got on my tits... if they can afford it they can have a private function whereever they damn well please, thats their right! Its the way they wrote to the wedding party after finding out they would be there and demanded that certain rules be followed. Thats just ignorance and intolerant if you ask me.

Anyway Im getting off this soapbox as I probably sound like a complete mad raving idiot.

sound? ? ? ? ?   lol

I think they wrote to the wedding guests to explain if they wanted to use their themepark (they had hired it for the day after all) they would have to adhere to the rules they have put in place for the park on that day. They haven't interfered with the wedding so why should the wedding interfere with their day? They could've said you cant use the park but they have said the wedding party is welcome as long as they stick to the parks rules for the day. Why is everyone getting so worked up over a private function? 100s of these functions take place every year at different venues. Ah now I remember, its a function by Muslims so everyone has a right to get angry- they aren't popular in the media at the minute. If Alton towers was hired out by the Naturist society and said all guests had to be naked would you all complain if you couldnt get in with your camcorders and cords? I know I'd just say what the hell and go with the flow (and its not a pretty site )
