This is an editorial written by an
British citizen, published in a
National newspaper He did quite a job; didn't he? Read on, please!
IMMIGRANTS,
NOT BRITS MUST ADAPT.
I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some
individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on the 7th of the
7th we
have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Brits. However,
the disgust about the attacks had
barely settled when the "politically correct! " crowd began complaining
about the possibility that our patriotism was 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, Our population is almost
entirely
made up of descendants of immigrants. (The Danes, Romans etc.) 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 the Brits being
a
multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our
national identity. As Britain's we
have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own
lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles,
trials, and
victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Indian, Urdu, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or
any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society,
learn the language! "Land of Hope & Glory" is our 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 the 'Union Jack' flag offends you, or you don't like our QUEEN, 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. Our Laws give every citizen the right to express his or her
opinion
and we will allow you every opportunity to do so! But once you are done
complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our lifestyle our
government,
or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other
great
BRITISH freedom,
THE RIGHT TO LEAVE.
