I'm not sure how the term 'integration' is defined now a days.
But anyway, I'm from Norway, so I'm not so into how the situation is in Britain.
But, I remember, from when I was living in Norway, then one children hospital, who had pictures of the Winnie the Pooh characters, on the doors in the hospital.
They had to remove the piglet one, if I remember correctly.
And I used to work as a food-shop manager in Norway, and people, at least in Norway, bought beer all the time, so at least in Norway, I think this solution would have been a bit unpractical.
But, as I've understood, in Britain, there are areas, or even towns, where the population is mainly muslim, so then I would reckon, that the shops probably wouldn't sell that much beer and pork, so then this solution wouldn't cause so much problems.
But I guess it also might be a theoretical/principal/political way of viewing this, so I'm not sure how this subject should be viewed in those perspectives.
But for me as a Norwegian, I've noticed that the term 'troll' is being used quite often by Brits on message-boards, chat-rooms, etc.
So I was wondering if I should start a campaign against this, because in Norway trolls are creatures that are living in forest, and are huge creatures that are eating much, and robbing princesses and things like that.
So I've noticed that I don't really like this British usage of the term 'troll', so I wondering a bit on how one should go forward to ban or regulate that.
So I hope someone has some advice on how one should go forward if one wanted to ban terms like that.
