This government has backed itself into a corner with all the bending over backwards towards the Muslim community.

They are now afraid to slap down extremists for fear of the possible reprisals. Much in the same way that most people didn’t upset the school or work bully because they were afraid of what s/he would do to get back at them. The recent demonstrations in London have established that quite firmly.

It is not too late for we British (English if you like) to stand up and be counted and point out to those who come from abroad to live here that it is our country and they must learn to integrate or leave.

We British have a long history of tolerance towards other cultures and beliefs but these last few years we have laid down and allowed ourselves to be walked over.

I don’t care if a person is black, red, yellow or has come from Alpha Centauri. I don’t care what deity s/he believes in and s/he can practice those beliefs providing that no law is broken in doing so. I do care about having that belief thrust in my face. The immigrant must adapt to our ways not the other way around. If there is a clash in cultures then the visitor must back down and make the adjustment, not us.

You can only go so far in welcoming a guest but once they start to take over and impose their ways then we have to say, “Thus far and no further.”

If that makes me a racist then so be it.
