JUST GOT THIS IN AN E MAIL I AGREE DO YOU????
This is an editorial written by a 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 Britons 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 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.
It is Time for Gt.Britain to Speak up
If you agree -- pass this along;
if you don't agree -- delete it!
anon..
AMEN
I think 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

I have to agree!
Although I don't agree with 'whats his name' that said 'This is the reason this man was killed after 7-7! Hate killed that man!
What this man wrote was wonderfully placed!
I live in the USA and I'm proud to be an American! I am not a Christian and don't believe in religion but I bloody well think that Americans have the right to speak, believe and do, what makes us Americans.
I will respect your belief while your here, but please don't come here and expect my Mother and Father to stop their beliefs because it offends you! You came to us because what ever your country was supplying was not enough for you! Don't try to take that same thing away from us! We shared our tables by opening our doors to you so that you could come into our homes and share our lives with you! Don't hate us because we believe differently! Don't be angry! If we wanted what you ran away from we would have moved out the moment you arrived!
I love this country because of it's diversity but don't believe for a second that taking away the freedoms our forefathers lost their lives to give to us, doesn't chap our hides! I don't care what you believe but to have your belief , by removing my belief, thrown down my throat each and everyday is against everything I DO believe in!
WOW, such pent up hostility! heehee My mother would say I'm laking CHOCOLATE in my diet!
Anyway, I have never said anything because I do believe people, no matter where they live, have the right to choose. But, when I am not allowed to RESPECT my country with the 'Pledge of Alligiance' or sing the 'National Anthym' because I have offended someone elses belief I get a little touchy. If you don't want to say these things, THEN KEEP YOU LIPS SHUT, but don't tell me I can't say them!
I would die for my country because my fathers died for this great country and not because they HAD to. They did it because they beleived in something! They beleived in the right to FREEDOM!

I do not like all of them (I am one). But atheists as a usual rule do not misunderstand gravely foremost matters handling existence on Earth on intent after which move attempt to drive every person else to are living through the ones willfully misunderstood ideas enacted in legislation. They deserve admire for that. They additionally comprehend the distinctive among inflicting issues in REAL LIFE for men and women and coming to a internet site to deliver evaluations that others would possibly not like. They do not purpose men and women in REAL LIFE issues, issues that may influence their whole enjoy on this planet, after which move to a internet site to whinge, "Why you so meeeeeean?" They deserve admire for the ones priorities. Also, atheists do not need a rule now not to pass judgement on others, so a query like that is satisfactory for them and different non Christians to reply. Christians answering this question significantly (judging) must flog themselves.

Awesome, thanks for putting that up. I agree...I'm not against immigration but it irks me that to get a job in my town you often have to be bi-lingual...spanish, korean, japanese...you get the jist.
They come here to America and they should learn the language, I know when I've lived in other countries they didn't make sure to print a newspaper in my language...I adapted to their culture and language.
Sorry, on my soap box. Thanks again!!!

This is the feeling that killed an INNOCENT Brazilian, a few days after the 7/7 attacks. I do not think so!

Immigrants must adapt. Someone needs to tell this to the government and the courts.

abuse of the Internet and specially of its power to propagate -- closeted ideas and ideologies. this forum for questions --short and pointed questions -- not discourses copied from a third party source -- and propagating it...all over.
retract. time to ask your own original question.
we immigrants or not -- have no quarrel with ideas, ideologies, differences and a host of other human sentiments -- they can all be resolved. no one nation has the monopoly on how to think, to behave, to walk, to discuss...etc....etc. i rest my case. it is a long story. cut it out.

yes I agree I think to much energy is spent on making sure they can keep their traditions and not enough on integrating people into a new land
