When anyone tries to change anything like this, the dogooding branch of British society comes out screaming the usual "HUMAN RITES" crap or its their culture init. Well I think its about time that the powers that be started looking to the rites of the indigenous population of this country, not continually pandering to those people who have come to our country to make a better life for themelves and their families. Enough is enough, I've had my rant now I'm going back to sleep  |
This government passed the Human Rights Act in 1997, thereby opening the floodgates for all manner of spurious claims that would otherwise never have seen the light of day, so they have largely brought this situation on themselves. However, I still think that if the will was there, the goverment could end this anomaly if it wanted to - the problem is that it's so PC-obsessed, it daren't.
Must say though, I always get a little nervous when people start talking about "the rights of the indigenous population". Are you suggesting that people who have come from elsewhere should somehow have less rights? As far as I'm concerned, every citizen of this country, white, black or brown, British-born or born elsewhere, should have exactly the same rights...no more and no less!
