A point I want to add is I think it's wrong to put personalities ahead of principles, so I don't agree with this 'worship' of Tommy Robinson some people (not in here) have.

Wisbech is in serious deludeville. Look at what's happening to Boris J at the moment just because he spoke quite tame truths about the Burka.....and this is with an Islamic population at probably 7 to 10 percent. You have the left and right falling over themselves to supplicant themselves to a religion which is far more politically active then any Christian group here. None of this is in my name. I will never apologise for being secular, western, white, English/British, working class and I'm surrendering nothing to no one.

Again the Left are playing a silly game here with BJ. He can quite rightly claim that he should have as much right to be critical of a woman who chooses to wear such a ludicrous piece of clothing as she does of wearing it. The point of the article in question was him asserting how he believes the UK should not follow places such as Denmark in banning such apparel. But if the Left play it true to form, with the hysteria and virtue signalling that they so enjoy, then it means they are now fair game for being asked why is it that they are so defensive about what is, by any reasonable standards, a dress code that is associated with the most authoritarian interpretation of Islam along with their lack of support for feminists in places such as Iran who are currently putting their lives and freedom on the line so that they are not forced to wear it.

How do we do that? And isn't it a two-way street? We do it by doing what we do best. We show patience, tolerance and understanding. We don't give up when rebuffed or faced with intolerance ourselves. We demonstrate that British values are worth having. Of course it's a two way street but first you need to show people where the street is and that they are welcome to use it. How many erstwhile immigrants, or the children of immigrants, do you know that are now proud to be British? It doesn't happen overnight though and I am old enough to have seen this whole scenario several times before. Prophecies of impending disaster and a melt down of our culture are not new.
Why do you associate people wanting to improve social cohesion and eradicate certain barbaric principles as 'extreme' (or far right I assume) all of the time? Who are the 'extreme' posters on this thread and what have they said? I want also to improve social cohesion and eradicate barbaric principles there is no dispute there! Most decent Muslims would as well. The issue is not the destination. It's the route to be taken to get there. I won't name names because although they ought to be obvious I am not in the habit of directly accusing anyone. The only one who gets a pointed finger is "Robinson" himself, who is openly, and unapologetically, an extremist. I despise extreme politics, whether they be of the left or the right.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

More evidence that Wisbech is deluded......You can't force integration on people and demographics increase year on year....With birth rates and new people coming in all the time....complete delusion. His idea that Muslims will....large scale integrate over time is divorced from reality. The very nature of their religion is based upon not losing their values...it's in their book. Figures from 2016. 23% of Muslims want sharia. 39% agreed that 'wives should always obey their husbands', compared to 5 percent nationally. Nearly a third (31%) thought it was acceptable for a British Muslim man to have more than one wife, compared with 8% of the wider population. Only 18 percent believe homosexuality should be legal in Britain. Wisbech tells us he's lived in Islamic countries.....Well, he seems to have a very basic idea about how willing people are to give up the values their religions teach...which is a large part of their identity....Which is a problem when the basic tenets of that religion do not easily relate to liberal western values. Oh and most Muslims want Islamic schooling.......just to say the obvious to Wisbech who seems to think they will be having beer and chips on the sofa in a couple of generations.

Gosh! A longer thread than rants about just how good or bad our keeper is. Young Stephen is a scamp! He has around him those very adept at pushing the media buttons and as such makes very good copy. He does however lack much by way of cognitive debating skills and will never be a dominant figure in the UK arena as aside from a few knuckle dragging followers to whom he is a hero, he is like so many before him ideal to lead a movement but never a country.

Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Aug 2018 4.58pm) In these threads you admit that you are a member of UKIP. You defend "Robinson" and cheerlead for Trump. Then you call ME deluded. I will let others decide about that. I would take long odds that if we asked the general public, although not the contributors here, it wouldn't be me who they thought deluded! I don't question the 2016 survey results. The point is that they are from 2016. Not from 2026 or 2066. If the attitudes reported in 2016 continued then we would have a problem. We will though surely see a difference in 10 and 50 years from now, when positive policies and time have worked. Unless you are a creationist, or evolution denier, like so many other Trump supporters are, there is a lesson from evolution that is instructive. Which is that everything adapts to a changed environment. The same is true both of religions, and of local cultures. British culture has modified itself many times in my lifetime as changes occurred. My mother never ate a Chicken Tikka Marsala but I bet you have. It will adapt again. So will Islam in the UK. Islam adapts. It's different in Turkey, Malaysia and Indonesia so why not the UK? It just needs encouragement and support mixed with an unswerving commitment to seeing that the law is applied to all, fairly and equally. Alongside the removal of any religious teaching in schools and the instruction in British values I agree with the government's idea to introduce a stricter requirement for those wishing to become citizens that necessitates a commitment to adhere to a set of British values, as well as an understanding of life in the UK. Break the commitment and you lose your citizenship. I also have no problem with requiring citizens not to cover their face in public. Most second generation Muslims, especially the women, will welcome more emancipation and freedom. In short I am not at all gloomy about the future, because of Islam. Because of the stupidity of Brexit and the damage the idiot in the WH is doing to the world I am very concerned, but hopeful that the former can be reversed and that the latter will soon be in jail.

Only 23 percent disagreed. So once again, you are deluded.

Again, these attitudes amongst this group are seen across the Islamic world. They do not change significantly over time. Also again, you ignore the fact that foreign Muslims are always coming into the country. These attitudes are from their religion, but suggesting that they will change you are essentially saying that Muslims will become agnostic. Some will, most won't. Look at the populations of Muslims around the world who are in minorities. Point to me the ones that have majority secular and liberal attitudes. You are in dreamland. They will defend their religion because it is their identity. The kind of dreamland scenario you are waffling about could only happen if we only had reformist mosques allowed here and that Muslims were not allowed to live in highly Islamic areas where they can be a 'country within a country'. That's totally impractical and it's not going to happen. There is no will for any of this to happen. Your views on integration come out of hope rather than any realistic notion of reality. The generations of the future will know who to blame. Unfortunately they will be long dead. Edited by Stirlingsays (07 Aug 2018 9.11pm)
