should we be able to take them to court for racial predjudice?

to my person in the South East of England who lives in their own utopia
where incidently I too live
there has been call for a battle of waterloo day and a churchill day and several others it was felt that this would encourage national identity only to be turned down by goverment as too much of a hot potato
you try putting up a union jack in east or north london where my mother in law lives nad see how quickly the local council knocks at your door..........

Of course. Britain has become so obsessed with being politically correct that it has become a joke. I have lived in several country's around the world and not one of them would allow the demonstrations and burning of that country's national flag to carry on as it does so freely in the UK. I am not a racist by any means but firmly believe that if people want to live and work in the UK than they must prove to have the necessary skills AND language to do so as New Zealand, Australia and many others.

Which British holiday has a council stopped you from celebrating? What would make them do that? I think you question is totally outside of reality and therefor there is no real answer for it.
Come on are you blind? You have never seen st. Georges day celebrated? Who are you trying to kid? Just because people where you live could not be bothered does not mean a council stopped them. There was plenty people celebrating where i live in the south east of England. Card shops where selling cards, flags, bunting etc. Get over yourself no one is stopping you. If you want to join in the celebrations get of your back side and organize something if St. Georges day means so much to you. And stop whinging about bans that don't exist.
And since when was the battle of waterloo a british holiday?

Yes, go for it. Either we should be able to celebrate everything - or be allowed to celebrate nothing.
The government has this racial awareness thing all wrong (as usual). No wonder certain people are getting annoyed - they have every right to be, no one should feel their culture is sidelined in their own country...

About time someone tested that theory thats for sure. I for one have had enough of becoming the abused group of the uk society in my own country.

I think so. If we do not protect our British heritage we will be swallowed up by all the other nationalities who are moving in.
