And that could happen; IF the EU give the UK a bespoke deal and judging by how Poland are being treated for having independent opinions and laws it's not happening any time soon. Yep, it's full of power obsessed but very average politicians.

Not yet, but once the wheel starts to turn, who knows where that momentum will take it. A two speed EU, with different levels of membership, has been talked about for at least 45 years. I presented a paper on this to a trade body that long ago.

WAY to much bloated bureaucracy going on there.

We are not a Christian country. We have an established Church and a Christian heritage, but most of us no longer truly believe. I agree though that Islamic extremism is of greater concern than any other kind of religious extremism, so needs special attention. What we mustn't do is tarnish all those who come from an Islamic background as extremists. We need to work hard to get them on our side and not to drive them into the arms of the extremists. Which is exactly what the extremists want and what the likes of Yaxley-Lennon is doing. We need to be smarter than that. Y-L is the best recruitment sergeant that the extremists possess. The UK's official religion is Christianity! Stop with your tip toeing nonsense, we know you wish it was a Muslim country. YL the "recruitment Sargent" embarrassed our police and politicians to take actions against Asian grooming gangs, that's a good thing! Then you have The list goes on [Link] Problems we shouldn't have to deal with, thank God someone raised the issue unlike head in the sand you!

We are a western democratic country our moral values are based on Christianity even if most of us don't go to church. I am an atheist and don't agree with having an established church yet I have no problem with Christian values of tolerance. Islam is at odds with those values.

It seems to me that you are more concerned about who takes decisions than that the decisions are in the best interest of the country! What really matters is that we are safe, happy and prosperous. How we achieve that is of secondary importance. We all delegate decision-making, sometimes through choice, sometimes through circumstance and sometimes through enforcement. Desiring control for outdated concepts of our standing in the world is what resulted in Brexit. If you think that has made us safer, happier and more prosperous, I beg to differ.

It looked at potential developments, given the strains and stresses that were already apparent and have become more obvious in time. Reducing the number of MPs might look sensible but ignores the work they do outside the House, in committees and in their constituencies, for instance.

Edited by dannyboy1978 (29 Oct 2021 6.24am) Edited by dannyboy1978 (29 Oct 2021 6.39am) Of course, I don't want the UK to be a Muslim country. I am an atheist. I believe many of our problems are caused by religion and would like to see them all fade away and be replaced by the mutual respect of humanism. What we are "officially" is worse than irrelevant. It erects another unnecessary barrier to progress. We can celebrate our Christian history, and the lessons of peace and compassion it teaches, without compromising our future. Knowledge evolves and standing in its way is stupid.

Then you and I are almost on the same page. I was a choirboy and server and my vicar wanted me to serve in the "Church Army". I think an established church is no longer of any benefit and when things outlive their usefulness they should go. Islam is indeed at odds with some of Christianity's values, but it shares others. Reducing the official relevance of all religions would be a useful step in reducing the threat posed by extreme interpretations of any of them.

The West faces a simple choice. It either rediscovers its Christian identity or else it dies. This utter 'Imagine' fallacy of a West devoid of any spiritual identity that will somehow gather together its new multi-racial/cultural populace into some huge Coca-Cola advert type of future where we all sit around, weaving flowers into each others hair whilst all enjoying mutual respect and harmony is perhaps the single biggest threat we face. A lie sold to you by a political class who sold their souls a long time ago to corporations who just want you as faceless, formless consumers. You want to be a real rebel in todays culture? Meet a girl, get married in church, raise a family, make sacrifices. And yes, I am sure that even my fellow travellers on the Right are going to pour scorn and mockery on my assertions and that is fine. Fill your boots. But never kid yourself about how Western civilisation developed. What drove it. Christianity. For every harm done, at least a thousand goods. There is no Godless future. Only question is which God do you want to live under? The one whose followers created the greatest civilisation ever known to mankind? Or the others. Not a popular question to pose, I acknowledge that, but the most relevant one you will face, not only for yourself but for your childrens children. But never kid yourself that nonsense such as humanism has any answers what so ever. All it offers is destruction.
