As always you are completely wrong Welshmen, Scotsmen and Englishmen are all British carrying a passport that describes them as citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

I'm afraid if you are "English" you are far more of a thoroughbred than you care to admit admit. Nonsense. I know my ancestry rather well and its a right old mix. My mother is a pure bred Dane (for the last thousand years anyway), one of my Grandmothers was Irish, my 'English' father's family name is from the Norse, and I'm *still* more British than the Queen ;-D Being British is a state of mind and nationality (i.e. passport rights), it has bugger all to do with race. Which is why a bunch of Arabs with British passports, accents and education is in Iraq trying to kill British & American servicemen. They clearly don't identify with their European let alone British heritage. They have a religion adopted to the mores and environment of the middle east. Perhaps they feel the affinity of their blood brothers and religion is the delusion. perhaps not. Clearly we know where their loyalties lie. I passionatly hate the people the people that got us into this war: the Perls, Wolfawitz's, Bushes, Bliar's Krauthamers and the rest of the sorry lying untrustworthy bunch and I feel for the Iraqi people but I would hate even more those that would attack their own kind. The UK is firmly multicultural, and I'm happy for it to stay that way. That's what Quisling said about Norway. You should write into the Ministry of education and say that your child (I suspect you don't have any) won't be needing their university place: affirmitive action for evermore people of color is more important. (we have that now in the UK as well as the USA ) You should also write to the NHS and Aged care to say that they can downgrade the care for your retied infirm parents: the money is best used for HIV refugees. Someone is being hurt and someone is paying for your values. People like you enjoy the slight social status boost that comes with conforming with political correctness or find it confortable to go with the flow and not hold difficult opinions but you never appreciate that you are disenfranchising a Briton or American whose marks are high enough or whose social predicament is tragic but whose skin is too white. You never think you have any personal cost. Its charity for free. "Enlightenment" is talking out of his Arse again. Point out any specific substantive error or lie I told.

You should write into the Ministry of education No such thing - you mean the Department for Education and Skills I suspect. and say that your child (I suspect you don't have any) won't be needing their university place: affirmitive action for evermore people of color is more important. (we have that now in the UK as well as the USA ) I don't have a child true, and we *do not* have Affirmitive Action in the UK. That would be illegal. The closest we get is that some government agencies (such as the Police) tend to advertise posts more in areas with an ethnic majority lacking in the force. Once they reach interview however it is the best person for the post. Having just been through an intrviewing course for a HMG department I know of what I speak. You should also write to the NHS and Aged care to say that they can downgrade the care for your retied infirm parents: the money is best used for HIV refugees. Why? My parents are neither infirm nor retired, and have worked hard to get their private pensions and health care. And why would I want to give it up for HIV refugees? I was talking about those who come to the UK to better themselves, like the West indians and South Asians who arrived in the 50s and have done very well for themselves, and for us. If you want to go off on an anti immigrant rant, feel free, but don't expect to drag me down with you.

"Enlightenment"'s rant is quite amusing when you consider the high proportion of NHS workers who are immigrants. -- "It's easier to find people online who openly support the KKK than people who openly support the RIAA" -- comment on Wikipedia (Email: zen19725 at zen dot co dot uk) |
