When I lived in Croydon, I often stopped for a nice cream tea, followed by a nice walk with the dog in the surrounding countryside.........more west country bulls*** from Wissy

You have a point, but if Jerry Lee Lewis had somehow evolved a nanosecond after the big bang then surely he would have had enough time to build a piano?

That there would be resistance is certain and not just from the Muslim community but from other faiths too.

They are all already regulated and required to teach the national curriculum. All I am suggesting is a step further. A step I believe is an essential statement for us to make in our increasingly non-religious society.

If you live in the UK then you abide by its laws. You cannot regulate belief but you can regulate where it is publically demonstrated and taught. We require all children to go to school so we can control the environment in which they are taught alongside what they are taught.

Religion ought to be a private matter, taught at home and in places of worship. It ought not enter any public space in any way at all or impact anyone who doesn't share it.

We have pussyfooted around this issue for too long.

Often is untrue. Occasionally perhaps but always disgusting and a very strong reason why we must work to change the culture.

That this happens is no reason not to change things. It needs to be confronted and corrected. I am quite sure those directly impacted will be leading the calls for change.

Pretend? Don't go projecting your natural dishonesty onto me old bean. Your natural instincts are for you and your type.

Where immigrants come from matters a lot. I've never said any different, so any claim of hypocrisy on my part is just false.

I certainly do complain about any significant immigration European or otherwise as it affects social metrics like cohesion (lowering trust and increasing crime) and wages, housing....metrics Wisbech...you know, that measure that your idealogy doesn't give a feck about unless it affects you personally while hypocritically living with the Cornish cream....being a landlord you probably love it.

The least diverse the immigration the better for any community. So, while I object in principle to immigration being used against the wishes of its people some types of immigration are obviously less negative than others with numbers obviously being the main impact.

I don't know what the attitude in Singapore is to immigration but I can certainly tell you that most of its immigration is Asian and it's Asian for several reasons other than geographic.

As for Japan, you just ignore all the facts that blow your contentions out of the water and push the globalist line. Whereas what I said is just the reality.

As for the Japanese government they have literally said the opposite to your contentions. They are not going to naturalise foreigners for economic agendas. They know what people like you want.

The only people you speak for in Japan are desperate globalists like yourself...mainly business opportunists looking to make money with no care for the social affects.

You don't speak for the people of Japan when you promote that they want any significant diverse immigration.

An interesting perspective on manifestos there.....wish list indeed! Sure, unexpected events can happen, but a broad-brush wish list?

Just more opportunity for deception and lies eh? Machiavellianism on steroids.

So much for the so called democrat you have called yourself so many times on here.

The lady doth protest too much.

You know it's hypocrisy and that's because it is.

The man who doesn't live his principles, only pretends to have them.

? That doesn't make any sense. Where did I say you couldn't have an opinion. I'm pointing out that your opinion stands in opposition to your actions....that's what makes you a hyprocrite. You are happy to advocate for policies that worsen other people's lives but live away from the negative affects of it.

I live in Wisbech, which you know is a town and it's been a pretty busy one since Blair. When we moved here in the eighties foreign immigration was almost unheard of. In line with my principles my family will be moving out as the social cohesion and safety of the area is only going one way here....probably within five years.

Even if it was some backwater, which it isn't (my Internet is probably faster than yours)
