On applications and most forms its states Black/African American...so if "black" people are african-american then what do you call a white skinned person from Africa........I believe this term "African American" is politically incorrect! aslo there a dark skinned people from Latin american countries so are they African american as well!!

What have we left that truely celebrates our purely British culture so that we can show the world what Great Britain was about once upon a time before all the purely British customs, culture & values were not allowed or fought for any more? When Australia opened their games, there was hats with corks, flip-flops & surf boards etc. Yes - we have sausages & Morris dancers but what else? This is NOT a racist question, just a reflection on the state of the country.

One side says the Free-masons require only a belief in a Supreme Being, but nothing further. Another side says they revere pagan gods through symbols and imagery. Which is true? And if they only require faith in a Supreme Being, what the heck do they do at their meetings? My great-grandpa is a Free-mason and he just says they require belief in a Supreme Being, but why do I hear about head-honcho Free-masons claiming the group is essentially pagan? And don't bother discussing the Founding Fathers I already know about all that stuff, but I still don't see any actual proof of WHAT they do.

We are tired of worrying about whether we are offending some individuals or their culture.

We are not against immigration, nor do we hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to Britain.
Our Country is welcoming immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers.

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 Britain being a multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.

As British citizens, 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 sought freedom.

We speak English, not Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, you should learn the Language!!

We are, in the main, Christians, not Buddhists, Muslim or Islamic, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this NATION and this is clearly documented.

It is certainly appropriate to fly our beloved Union Flag proudly. If this offends you, then I suggest you consider a move to another part of the world as your new home, because this is a part of our CULTURE.
If our traditional marches offend you, then you should seriously consider staying in doors. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change.

This is OUR COUNTRY, our land and our lifestyle. Our Government gives 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 pledge, our national motto, or our way of life.
We highly encourage you take advantage of our great British freedom.

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE

Would Britain still be the Country of choice and still be British if we continue:-
To make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries that came to live in Britain because it was the Country of Choice?

Think about it…….. All I have to say is, when will something be done about:- OUR RIGHTS ????????
We celebrate Christmas, but because it is not celebrated by everyone, we can no longer say Merry Christmas, now it has to be Season’s Greeting.
It’s not Christmas vacation, it’s Winter Break. Isn’t it amazing how this winter break ALWAYS occurs over the Christmas holidays?

We’ve gone so far the other way, bent over backwards not to offend anyone.
We are now being offended. But it seems that no-one has a problem with that. !!

I hate lazy people who sit in their *** all day. People take way to much advantage of the government. You got drug dealers who get welfare cards to feed their families, yet they are rolling on rims, worth more than their shitty cars. People who can't work I can understand but if you got 2 functionable legs and arms, whats wrong with this country?

Increaingly i feel ashamed to be a young persong in this country, i am sick of passing old ladys in the street and wathcing them scared as they cross the street to avoid me feeling intimidated. I do not dress in a way that should pose a threat because im a pri*ck in a hoody covering my face, or walking with a limp in a gang of thugs. Seeing all the other teenagers on the street in gangs talking about "shanking" people and all this crap is pathetic. Talking with a west-indian accent when you are white or asain, even the black kids that do it probably have British parents so why do we put on fronts all the time? I can get no respect at my young age because of these people who i myself refer to as "c.unts!"
I think it really is about time that we grew up lads!
