Crazy thinking when you consider the uncontrolled immigration from the newer EU member states suggests an influx of Roman Catholics.

Unpalatable as it may be to people who are from Brighton, PLENTY of people have never heard of the pavilion, and it looks like a mosque, simple.

On the bus going to Brighton v Millwall game at Withdean I heard some of their lovely fans say "look at the size of the f...ing Mosque" as we went past the Pavilion. I just thought it was because they were brain dead neanderthals. Seems they are not the only ones then.

Don't know why Ed pulled out the photo shoot...go abroad and you often see a camel in front of a mosque.

Any sensible person, not knowing what something is, would do some research and not assume it's a mosque. You are correct with your last word though; yes the person is simple.

I think we should play a game of spot the mosque or not (for some of our more simple posters)
