Actually, I'm wrong.  That's part 1 of a different group study she did.  Sigh.  

THIS is the correct part one of the class I'd posted originally...

If you're not aware of this, it seems like something you'd like to be aware of.

Who'd be a politician? It's a delicate balance trying to please everyone with answers on a topic like this.

Do you hear stuff like this every few years?

I'm not sure what he means by "Behave in a way that people find quite difficult to accept".

What behaviour is he talking about exactly?

All EU member states are asked to produce a strategy for Roma inclusion.


EU efforts for Roma inclusion
The European Commission has called on Member States, in
proportion to the size of the Roma population living in their
territories and taking into account their different starting
points, to adopt national Roma
integration strategies or
further develop existing strategies. Member States have also
adopted council resolutions on the issue.



As far as I know, the UK is the only member state not to have done so.

Here is an example of a strategy.

I am currently involved in the drafting of an unofficial 'Shadow' UK strategy.

Bert's wife passes away and, as part of the arrangements, he goes to a stonemason to have her headstone done. He asks the mason to inscribe Here Lies Mary Entwistle. She Were Thine and is told to come back in a couple of days to pick it up.

He returns as agreed and the mason presents him with the stone. Bert is horrified.

"She Were Thin?! Tha's missed blummin' e aht, lad!"

The mason is profusely apologetic and promises to have it ready for the day and will personally arrange for it to be at the church.

The funeral passes and, after the mourners leave the church, Bert walks over to spend a moment by the grave. When he gets there, he sees the headstone:

Here Lies Mary Entwistle
Eeh, She Were Thin

Great stuff from Remembrance Day Tom thumbs up

Re Jane Elliot - she ran her experiment over here a few years ago for a documentary (on channel 4 I think). My memory is pretty hazy these days, but I recall the group acted rather differently to what she was used too. I'll have to dig it out and watch it again now I've remembered (if I don't forget again before tonight)

I just haven't had time to watch it yet.

Well, when I have had time I haven't remembered, and when I have remembered I haven't had time.

You see, that is your problem Tom, you try to do too many things.

Slow down, smell the roses, enjoy life at a leisurely pace, know what I mean?

One day I'll give it all up, buy a cottage by the sea, get a dog with a limp, write a book.....

I stumbled across the one you're on about Claire while trying to find part one for Tom.  That's what I mistakenly posted here earlier. Ended up watching the entire series as well as other clips.  

You'll definitely need spare time Tom.  I'd never heard of Jane Elliot before and without intending to, gg'd an entire morning watching her the other day.
