It makes me smile a bit , i'm not particularly racist.
"Il y a un début à tout ! En cette année 2023, à l’occasion du début du Ramadan, des illuminations symbolisant l’islam ont été installées dans un quartier touristique du centre de Londres. "
If this is the start , what will be the finish ?

I think that this depends on if we are referring to Brick Lane, Brixton, the Cromwell Road, Highgate, Southall, Soho or Mayfair.

I have travelled a lot and know the difference in attitudes in differing countries about racism and religious tolerance. Where I live the cult of the catholic church is in decline and has been for many years.
But don't answer the question , just attack the poster?

"Il y a un début à tout ! En cette année 2023, à l’occasion du début du Ramadan, des illuminations symbolisant l’islam ont été installées dans un quartier touristique du centre de Londres. " Would you please quote the source of the quotation? I like to check the veracity of what is being presented to me as fact and also decide whether there is an agenda influencing it.

Not sure what the question is..but if the 'end' is that everywhere is free to celebrate whatever religion they want in whatever way they want, or celebrate having no religion at all, then that would be fine with me.
I was born and raised in London and grew up in an area that had a lot of Jewish people. Their religious festivals were celebrated publicly and it never seemed to offend anyone. Later the area had a big Hindu population and Diwali was a pretty loud street festival going on for days. I worked in Tower Hamlets and Ramadan festivities took place there. Many people from the East London Mosque did outreach work in the local community. So I don't think this is reporting anything new is it? London had always been a multi faith, multi cultural and multi ethnic community, for all of my life time anyway.
Maybe 'where next' will be the separation of church and state in the UK, as in France . That would be a good thing in my view.

I think that It is not going to happen at the centre of power in London but one never knows. on balance the Lords are preferable to the ERG. The first thing needed would be to get the Russian or Russians out. Perhaps England needs to get back to the days when top international decisions were made at dinner parties at Cliveden rather than No. 10.

And through all of the posted by disgusted of Tonbridge, no one has realises that this is nothing more than a marketing ploy.
"Look how friendly we are to the Islamic religion. Come and visit and spend, spend, spend!!"
And if you thought those Oxford Street Christmas lights were anything else, I suggest you step out of sensible discussion until the naivety wears off.

Obviously shop’s at Harrods and Banks with BCCI. ( the Oracle states ‘ it's. A common mistake is putting an apostrophe in the possessive adjective its. It is easy to confuse its with the contraction of it is, it's, which does have an apostrophe. Remember, though, possessive adjectives never use apostrophes.‘but I am none the wiser)

And through all of the posted by disgusted of Tonbridge On here? By whom? By design? Stating the area of London and/or quoting/linking to the source would have avoided anyone falling into a trap if that's what it was, you seem to be suggesting that.

In the way it was used it's not a plural it's the third person singular present tense of "to shop".

So it's both the third person singular genitive form of "it" to show possession and an adjective where the noun is defined by its being a possession.
