..When in Rome...blah,blah..
I think this really sums it all up. Pity we can't write it in letters
three miles high and project it into the sky over every city in ENGLAND!
Whilst it still is England.
After hearing that many cities did not want to offend other cultures by
putting up Xmas lights, so they DIDN'T!
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.
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. Published in a
British tabloid newspaper.
IMMIGRANTS. NOT BRITONS, MUST ADAPT.
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 London 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 one 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! "In God We Trust" is our National Motto.
This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this
motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded
this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate
to display it on the walls of our schools.
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, or you don't like " A Fair Go", 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 highly encourage you
take advantage of one other great British freedom,
"THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here then P*** OFF! We didn't force you to come here.
You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted. Pretty easy
really, when you think about it. I figure if we all keep passing this to
our friends (and enemies) it will also, sooner or later get back to the
complainers, lets all try, please.
