Looney left councils are so busy banning elements of British culture in case we offend our immigrant population only helps to cause unrest and resentment. The best of it is the immigrants have no problem with our British way of life anyway. This is political correctness making matters worse.
For a start I would stop providing interpreter services in police stations, hospitals and welfare offices at taxpayers expense. I was absolutely flabberghasted by the amount we spend in translating. This is just one example where we have bent over too far to accommodate multi culturalism.
Anyone who comes to this country to make a positive contribution is welcome, irrespective of race, religion, skin colour. However it should be a condition of entry that this is Britain and immigrants accept our culture. Any attempt to change it should be resisted. When in Rome and all that............
Hi OBF
As always you set out a very convincing argument for change.
On balance l agree with your view that immigration has been good for this country, doctors, nurses, skilled professionals have all contributed significantly to making this a better country....not so sure about resturant workers as according to a program l watched recently, thousands of these restaurant workers are working here illegally along with the hundreds of thousands of others who have got lost in the system.
The trojan horse investigation should be applauded, and will hopfully be the first of many steps needed to address the inequalities that have been highlighted in the Ofsed report. Hopfully when all this is sorted we can start to provide an education that falls in line with the national curriculum and not one which is skewed in favour of one religion over all others.
lf we are to continue with Muslim accadamies then we need to ensure that Muslim female students are not discriminated against, and educate them knowing they have a place in our society, one that isn't seen from behind a veil of oppression.

Oh, and just one other thing......l thought this country had a law against crulty to animals?. If that is the case then why, out of some relegious nonsense do we allow the slaughtering of animals by sliting their throats from ear to ear just so the animal can hear a recited prayer for it's sacrifice? If relegious groups wish to carry out this barbaric practice then they should import their meat from elsewhere..... its disgusting and this Goverment should ban it.
