Safety fears cancel Leicester Diwali lights switch-on by Bollywood's Dharmendra Singh Deol

“mm health and safety? how come theres no issue when theres lots of crowds at concerts and football matches attended by whites????

it seems that the police don't want hindus to enjoy themselves ,,, they probably feel initimidated that an indian megastar is in town

there have never been problems...
and those of you who go one about keith vaz, get over it, how come there isn't such an issue when a white mp is involved and as for his homes, they wer out of his own hard work and not your money , many of those who criticise keith vaz are natives of this country who have never worked and have been sponging off the system and then blame immigrants,

and the divali lights are not tacky, they bring alot of light, to a area that was run down before the hindus brighten it up,

the deols, by filming here have put leicestershire on the map, but the racist s are ungrateful, they shld have never come to a racist town to film!”

“I am sure both those that l lost loved ones and those seriously effect by the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, would far sooner seen precautions taken. Far to many deaths and injuries have happened because no one as accepted any responsibility for the safety of the event. In this case it may well be an over reaction but surely only the most callous fools would want to risk another Hillsborough disaster. I am sure anyone who's found themselves in fear of their lives whilst trapped in an overcrowded position would not relish a repeat performance. Likewise I am sure many of those that failed to see the potential for a disaster at Hillsborough have suffered badly for that mistake. We should condemn the organizers that take no responsibility for safety before those that do, even if we believe they are wrong or have other motives crowed safety is of paramount importance and must be treated has such.”

“health and safety gone mad. there's been Diwali events for years without problems and as a Hindu myself it has came to a blow to me as i visit the lights switch on every year. what do the organizers thing that they're on the Titanic?”

“So right Safety_Rep but don't expect anyone to care until it's them or their loved ones effected. MPs are more concerned with releasing what they see as the burden on industry and industries rights to maim and kill without accepting responsibility or costs of their immoral behavior.”

“This is not health & safety! Why do people wrongly label it so, when it is not.
If you want to talk true health and safety. Talk about the amount of people that die in work related incidents each year, approx 1,300 each year. Thats about 25 a week. See here- http://tinyurl.com/7cl6jdo
or hear how it affects families - http://tinyurl.com/cy8qcd5”

“This is nothing to do with elf n safety. The council have been following a policy of running down the city by having a whole string of pointless cosmetic roadworks to cause much frustration and drive all the businesses and shoppers out of the city.

It would severely damage this policy if lots of extra visitors arrived to spend money while at the Diwali switch on. They are seeking to discourage inwards investment, not encourage it!”

“If Dharminder ji will switch on the lights this year, then every year people will wait for someone to come from Bollywood to switch on lights. I wonder who is next in the pipe line ( Govinda or Amitab ) you won't call Sharukh, because he is Muslim. I am getting old I am waiting for my turn. Sorry I got to be a star. What the hill is going on? Jaswant is deserved he has been working for the communiy for long time.”

“What a lot of negative comments !”

“Maybe the actor's agent suddenly demanded an extortinate fee? Health and safety is often used as a smokescreen for something else.”

“Or the Keith (Leicestershire Council will do as i wish)Vaz
There again it could be ive got to sell some of my property here you go mum cop theses 3 houses”
