Posters on London buses and at Tube stations by a Moslem organisation promote projects to be supported by Ramadam funds and urge the faithful to give.
Some local authorities are supporting Ramadam and there is much officialdom in the form of memos and formal advice on how the rest of us must behave towards Moslems during this time.
I await with interest the memos from officialdom inviting respect and care for Christians during next Lent and Holy Week.
