I think you are ignoring the mood of the nation. We are a democracy and you have to admit that the majority of the population would now disagree with you. Decades of propaganda and demonising the history of the UK have led to a situation where the majority are happy to see the fabric of the country change and reject anything that might be considered traditional. That's just the way it is, things go in cycles, civilisations rise and fall. Islam will be the next dominant force throughout the world including Europe. It has all the attributes to succeed. Then eventually it will get lazy and complacent like the west is now and make way for something else
Thanks for actually taking the time to read my post.
I can appreciate what you say, but I really hope you're wrong.
Having spent about half my life working elsewhere in the world, I hope I've developed some appreciation of what unites us all as humans - and those things that divide us, and of the relative good and bad points intrinsic to any culture. I was predictably branded a racist and a bigot for the above post, but I feel the view I expressed is the norm around much of the world- most nations place a heavy emphasis on protecting their own- frequently to the great detriment of outsiders: Oman is a cracking example, but there are many others.
I was completely unprepared for the apparent self-hate, or self-righteousness (or whatever it is) of some people in
the UK- especially on here. However, I feel it is
they who are in the minority. For myself, I always try to be objective, and most of all tell the truth.
Reactions to the Paris attacks and those before it follow a predictable pattern:
1. How terrible
2. It has nothing to do with Islam
3. Our main concern should be the "far right"
4. This is due to our meddling in the middle east and we deserve it
5. Who cares if 129 (insert figure) Europeans died, nothing must interfere with my right to be a self-righteous prick who advocates mass-immigration whether other people want it or not.
This view that can be seen on the front page of the Guardian this morning.
I think British/European culture is worth saving- I also think healthy movement in and out is a good thing, but not to the extent that it denigrates all the good stuff we have.
Anyway thanks again- good to hear at least one reasonable voice on here- before all the self-righteous pricks get out of bed.
BTW cracking win at Colchester yesterday.
