There's an old saying of 'When in Rome live like the Romans do'. I think that what pees a lot of people off is that instead of us 'British' living our lives the way we want to, we have to consider every other tom dick & harry. e.g. some schools won't have nativity plays anymore in case it 'upsets'the muslims. Harvest festivals when I was a kid was to benefit the old, these days it's for the asylum seekers but don't contribute tins of baked beans 'cause they don't bl00dy like them, never heard so much cr@p.

I can't imagine why a nativity play would upset Muslims -- Jesus is a major figure in their religion too. Sounds like Political Correctness has taken over Islam as well as everything else!! I also heard that some schools have banned anyone taking photos during nativity plays, what the hell is that all about? It seems we don't need any immigrants to look stupid, we can do that all on our own. ---------------------- An interesting little "test" for anyone who wants to give it a go... to see (a small part of) what we know about the people coming into our country.

Photo's of school plays have been banned because, as every sane person knows, the world is crawling with paedophiles who love nothing more than photo's of children in school plays.

GARY?! Sorry, couldn't resist LOL, well done penge. Think we needed a bit of humour here!!! I still don't get it... It's from the Xmas edition of Only Fools and Horses where Del and Rodders bring back what they thought was an illegal immigrant in the back of their van by mistake. They told their other halves that he was a mate called Gary and it went on from there...

Petealiator, your definition of englishness is a remarkably narrow one. I think you will find there are a very significant proportion of the country would not use that as anything approaching a definition. I am not even sure there is such a thing as a "native culture" of England -- given we are almost exclusively a nation of immigrants if you go back far enough. Oh here we f***ing go, yeah the English are the only people in the world that have no native culture! Christ! What the f***'s wrong with you? We have a culture as rich as any in the world, but of course it's not as important as 'ethnic' culture so you just go ahead and dismiss it. So we're all immigrants are we? Even after a thousand years and more? Blimey, you're pretty tough on immigrants aint ya? So, to recap, we not only have "no culture", we're also not a actually a native populace at all either, we have no nation! We are the lost tribe of Europe! Do we even exist? Every damn nation in the world other than Africa is filled with "immigrants, if you go back far enough"! We are English and we have been for fourteen or fifteen hundred years whether you and your student pals like it or not, if not, why don't you bog off to Iraq and tell them they have no culture! As for my definition of Englishness, how the f*** is that narrow? I think you'll find there's a bigger f***ing proportion of the country who WOULD see it as a valid description! How the f*** would you describe it? Anyone who steps foot on English soil whether they're here to wipe us out or not? Slugs, I agree the world needs proof and I'm sure it'll come, but at the end of the day, you wouldn't believe it anyway! Also, the way I see it, WWII was a pretty effective action in affecting peace in Europe, sure, appeasement would have ultimately avoided war, well, for a while anyway, and we'd all be speaking German now, but, what the f***, just as long as we continue to say Halten Sie Den Krieg auf! Pah!
