Our "culture" has been evolving since day dot. That's what makes our country great. Name one thing you can't do now that you could do 30 years ago.

Go to a Christmas market that is barricade free

I think I'll actually do an advent calendar of what we can't do now, that we could do 30 years ago

Loving the Christmas silence from those who initiated it 🤶

Walked past 3 protests today outside parliament. 300 each tops and also walked past 4 "christmas markets" then went to a great pub off the beaten track. Apart from the elf standing on a bollard shouting about his civil liberties. I can confirm all is well with the world.

Tell that to those who have lost loved ones at a Christmas market terror attack in the last few years 

They won't confirm your one sided view will they ?

Bit late for an advent calendar halfway through the month, but nice one. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. 👍

Any mass gathering is the same these days unfortunately. Blackpool airshow was the same and had armed police on the rooftops too.

Spent the last 8 months working on a project in Rotherham. Working with kids and old folks from the Eastwood area. Mix of backgrounds in the families but everyone was lovely and got on like a house on fire.

I found it a pretty decent place. Well it was until they shut down the Starbucks on the retail park meaning I ended up in Costa for my caffeine fix which is significantly inferior.

 

Of course they were and nobody’s claiming most people, irrespective of religion, won’t get on but go into Rotherham Town Centre and see what you think, especially on a Thursday. As for Starbucks there’s a drive through just two minutes up the road from Parkgate Retail. 😁

if you get the chance on the way back to Bowton stop off at Barnsley Town Centre and if you don’t see the difference you’re not trying.

My granddaughter attends Thorpe Hesley Primary School which is about 98% white and Christian yet under the radar and without advising parents they’ve just decided that all meat will be halal. 🤷‍♂️

Anybody who doesn’t consider that this country hasn’t changed more for the worst in the last 30 years than in the previous 800 is kidding themselves and what’s more frightening is how much it will continue to change over the next 30 years unless somebody with the balls to do something serious about it it starts to affect it now.

Well I’ve read some shite on here before but that’s up there with the best 

 Back to the Middle Ages it is for you 😂

 What do you want our government to do? A lot of the people you’re seeing on the streets of Rotherham and getting upset about will be as British as you are or have equal rights under citizenship.

 Do you want us to start forcibly remigrating folk who are born here or have citizenship? Do you want Muslims banned from coming here? 

 White British people are simply having less kids. We’re going to need immigrants to help our society function. 
 

To claim this country has changed for the worst in the past 30, more than it has in the last 800 is just nonsense. 
 

And fwiw, no school should be serving only Halal meat, we can agree on that.

Nobody on here would deny it has been grim to see the rise of these threats at mass events in recent times.

 The issue was with a poster saying Christmas would be no more in 30 years. Which is just a ridiculous overreaction.

Sorry LW but that is one of the most myopic replies I’ve seen on here and boy there are some brahmas. 
 

As for removing all Muslims from this country, the Spanish did it in the 16th century when they pushed all the Moriscos (formally Moors) to North Africa after the majority failed to obey the law by adopting Christianity, so it’s not at all out of the question, born here or not. A ban on Muslims coming here has been voiced several times but if you make having children pay for Brits, birth rates will increase without immigration. 

There’s so much wrong with our country and others in the West due mainly to immigration and you only have to look at Australia this morning to see an example of that.

Hello Richard, So where do you propose to site the gas chambers for Saladin and his Kurdish minions?

Ahhh okay then. So we should ban Islam & remove all Muslims from this country because the Spanish did similar in the 16th century…

Anything else you want to bring back from the medieval ages ?

Can we not just deport muppets with views like this instead?

So a Church school rewrote a childrens story 13 years ago, so Muslims wouldn't be offended because the original story was about pigs, then the Muslims came out and said it was a ridiculous thing to do and they weren't offended by the original story in the slightest. Not the best start mate.

You asked what you could do, what you can't do now. That is a proven fact as per the report. Not your best reply, same re the 2 others I posted.
