After hearing that many cities did not want to offend other cultures by putting up Christmas lights, so DIDN'T!
After learning that the British Red Cross shops were instructed not to display Christmas decorations lest they cause offence. (A move which cost them my support thereafter.)
After hearing that the Birmingham council changed its opinion and let a Muslim woman have her picture on her driver's licence with her face covered. You try it!
After hearing of a Primary School in Birmingham where a boy was told that for PE they could wear Football League shirts (Aston Villa, Birmingham, West Brom etc) but NOT an England shirt as it could offend others !
This prompted the editorial below written by a UK citizen,and published in a British newspaper.
Take it or leave it. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on London , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits.
However, the dust from the attacks has barely settled and the 'politically correct' crowd begin complaining about the possibility that our patriotism is offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain . However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand.
This idea of England being a multicultural centre for community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Britons, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of wars, struggles, trials and victories fought by the untold masses of men and women who laid down their lives and of the millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!
If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If St.George's cross offends you, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I encourage you take advantage of one other great British freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.
We didn't force you to come here. If you don't like it GO HOME!!
You asked to be here.. So accept the country that accepted YOU. Pretty easy really, when you think about it.

Let us all admit it. Corruption is a part and a way of life and as such has become accepted as the "norm". Punishment for corruption is no longer "de rigeur" and in fact, is usually non-existent. Since this corruption stems from the top [MP's] and those at the top are allowed to get away scot-free it must follow that everybody else should be treated the same. So 300 out of 1,183 miscreants were "referred" and 50 were "passed to". Three yes, THREE, have been convicted and TWO are awaiting trial! What a wondrous success rate! Three out of 1183 and even to a mathematical dunce a 0.422% success rate is hardly something about which to be proud! I can guarantee that even though some of those "thieves" were, no doubt, from the upper echelon........only those from the lower ranks ever saw the inside of a Court! Ah, but wait. I have just noticed that these law-breakers were going to be given "training and guidance".......not in how to carry on doing what they were doing without being caught, one hopes! I could be wrong!
All the time there are no-brainers being elected to parliament then we will have to suffer the idiocy of allowing migrants, legal or not, to decide just what laws and culture they want to follow. As far as I am concerned Political correctness equates to political stupidity and cultural suicide. Migrants should be forced and I do mean forced to follow the precepts of the laws in place. If they do not find that acceptable then they should be repatriated to their country of origin in which they could do as they please.....maybe! I would willingly donate monies to the removal from our shores of the misfits that the current crop of parasitical politicians allow to infect our countries. Muslims belong in muslim countries - not in Christian enclaves and so do others of the same ilk. But, it will never happen!
I have read of many people who have said
"If you don't like it GO HOME!!"
They have all ended up in court.
That is also a problem....a very serious problem.
I totaly agree with you David.
I am sick of them telling us what we can have or not have in our country.
It will get to the stage when we will not be able to celebrate our christmas.
