The Asian cornershop issue has never really been a concern of mine, but I must admit that there is one sociological phenomenon that has always puzzled me; to whit: Why do the newsagents with the largest and most varied selections of “Adult Orientated Periodicals” always close on Friday lunchtimes?
There’s probably a lucrative, eu sponsored, sociology research grant in that question.

“Ever wondered how many muslim newsagents there are?”
Yeah – fifth column! This being open all hours thing – what a good wheeze to fool us all! Damn conspiracy!
Or… perhaps the Mail’s editorial line on the issue is just a matter of being consistent, given the paper’s intermittent whining over the past couple of years over (supposed) slights on Christianity?
Tim adds: The Toffeewomble’s point is rather that no UK paper would want to piss off such a large influence on thier business model.
