Well I suppose for white British and European people we are defined as caucasian, is that an ethnic group or skin colour? All a bit bizarre.

I have rarely read such a confused load of twaddle. Most folk dont care if the celebration is called "Christmas" or anything else, so long as someone else is paying. However to go on from that and claim that they are somehow being disadvantaged in the country of their birth and the established religion is being slighted is also complete nonesense. It is a fact that nowdays more people attend Mosques than Church. That is not because there are more Muslims, just because more are devout and very few of those born "Christian" are. Everyone needs to show tolerance and common sense these days and I firmly believe that we rapidly need to become a wholly secular state with no established Church. Fundamentalist Christians are as big a danger to world peace as the Muslim variety, just look at the USA situation for proof of that. If anyone wants a "Christmas" dinner, do so at home amongst family or with fellow believers from your own Church. Elsewhere shut up and accept what others organise for you. If you dont like it dont go.
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. |

Your average Brit is tolerant, broad minded and embraces other cultures and respects the beliefs of others. Treat others as you'd like/expect to be treated yourself etc. Then out of touch, overpaid, minor officials, who speak corporate,lawyer friendly crap, create divides between people with nonsense like dropping the word Christmas.Why?

Not gonna start an argument on this one, but that is a bit rich coming from a nation who tampered with EVERY culture they came across with on their world domination tour, killing off every living soul who didn't want to adhere to their religion and way of life ! Stop interfering in your culture ? You don't know the meaning of the sentence !!

Treat others as you'd like/expect to be treated yourself etc. When did that start, the last 10 years ? Again, a bit of a clouded idea on your own people seeing you've done everything BUT that the last 5 centuries .. Embraces other cultures ?? Ridicules or thrashes them more like ..

Maybe if Blair (and yes it is mainly his fault) was alot stricter on the religious side to the country ie making little kiddies know about Jesus as part of their little kiddy ciriculum rather than giving them tests. when they decide to come here they have to accept what we do and how we are a Christain country, and if they feel offended by Christianity then they could go to a country with their belifs. If Blair did more of that, the country would be in an even worse state.

Why do we have to feel worried incase we affend people? Not exactly what you did over the centuries when you "visited" other cultures .. Again, I find all these pro-British talk very "head in the sand" stuff. I agree with the fact that christmas needs to be celebrated the way we christians have done it for ages .. I do agree with the fact we need to keep our own identity etc.. but when you start talking about how you English have always been so tolerant then it stops for me. You have NEVER been tolerant throughout history. So a bit of objectivity wouldn't be out of place ..

What happened years and years ago in the colonial days has got nothing to do with us and nothing to do with the Political Correctness crap going on in this country today! This country is very tolerant to other races and cultures - one of the best in the world. In fact, you have always been welcomed to this country and to Palace. And is your girlfriend English?
