Quote:German car park unveils 'diversity' spaces reserved for LGBT drivers or migrantsArchived Daily Mail Article:

*A camera will monitor the use of the car park, although Morlock said the spaces are not necessarily

'A car park located in Hanau, Germany, has unveiled dedicated parking spaces reserved for LGBTQ
and migrant drivers.
Hanauer Parkhaus GmbH (HPG) built three 'diversity' parking spaces in an underground car park in Hanau
city centre, which will cater only to LGBTQ individuals and migrants. Thomas Morlock, the chairman of the
supervisory board of HPG and a city councillor, said at the inauguration of the parking spaces that the aim
was to help people who feel 'a special need for protection'.
Careful when reversing.
It is not immediately clear how the authorities intend to monitor whether people who park in the spaces are
in fact part of the LGBTQ community or migrants, though HPG said a camera would monitor the car park.
Morlock went on to say that the spaces were built to set a 'conspicuously colourful symbol' for 'diversity and
tolerance', and are not necessarily meant to be used by a 'separate group of people'.
Hanau, a small city roughly 15 miles east of Frankfurt, has long been considered a city of diversity in Germany
and its population was already ethnically diverse before the migrant crisis in 2015. According to Germany's
Federal Statistical Office, there were 1.8 million people with a refugee background in Germany by 2018.
On February 19 2020, a extreme-right gunman took to the streets of Hanau and opened fire on two shisha
lounges in the city centre, killing 11 people -nine of whom had ethnic roots outside of Germany -and wounding
five others...'
"Morlock"?
His name is, seriously, "Thomas MORLOCK"?
Are there folks in Hanau with the family name "Eloi" as well?
I just gotta know. I'll research it on the internet when I wake up. If I can't find a family name of Eloi, I may suspect a Morlock of being a spurious name garnered from an H.G. Wells fantasy book involving the novel idea of time travel...
On the other hand, if I CAN'T find any Eloi, does that mean the Morlocks may have eaten all the Eloi in Hanau?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
