    Sounds like Minnie needs to move to Turkey and go tell Erdogan where to stick his mosque. Evidently they're very upset that a building can change its purpose over time.

      Does anyone get away with saying Auschwitz is a museum?
      Why are most of your posts about foreign people or people of colour? Someone would think you had an hidden agenda
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          Firstly, i dont think most of my posts are about foreign people, but if they were, it would hardly be a hidden agenda.

          But as you are a foreign national electing to post on a UK business forum it could reasonably be argued that all of your posts are about "foreign people".

          You need to get someone to straighten out your backwards 'ideas' before they get to the keyboard.

              Yes. Because it is a museum.

              The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum was created by an act of the Polish parliament on July 2, 1947, and includes the grounds of two extant parts of the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camps. The Museum grounds cover 191 hectares, of which 20 are at Auschwitz I and 171 at Auschwitz II-Birkenau.

                Minny also despises Muslim majority countries because they don't allow gay marriage or adoption by gay parents.
