Britishness lessons and UK immigration policies

Britishness not taught to kids

Whats wrong with being British?

When are we going to get a politician in this once great country to stand up and be counted?; Why should we not teach these values to all our youngsters? Are we really that bad?



We mustn't teach our kids to be British. How silly is that? Britishness in its original true form has shaped the world for hundreds of years rightly or wrongly, depending on your view.

07-1-2008I have reached the stage in life where I no longer give a toss about anyone so, 'Britishness' not taught to kids is the least of my concerns. Forget this 'Britishness' rubbish for all you are doing is offending others that have decided to live here. Those days have gone for good,...moreAndy K
03-1-2008I agree that the country is a mess, but there are too many people (immigrants) in it, thats why we had all the floods last year, nothing to do with climate change, the island is sinking cos there is too many people. AND some of these immigrant communities choose to attack our capital, lets get th...more?????????

30-12-2007Racism. Protecting ones own race. if for this i’m labeled a RACIST so be it! The Brugges group reported it’s BLINK we have to thank for all the infecious diseases coming into OUR country. When in the commons the discussion was to examine every immigrant for various infections. Blin...moreYorkie Boy
07-12-2007Paul you wrote... Perhaps I agree with the Prime minister on having a British holiday, where British history is celebrated. This temporary PM is a sweaty sock! Perhaps we can have a holiday the day he gets ousted out, celebrate this. Don't like the word Britain anymore, it's England ...moreMikey
07-12-2007Paul, too many left wing water-walkers have suppressed it all. We have been stripped of everything because of these parasites. We have given way to the remainder of the world and we are now governed by Brussels. Anyhow, I sleep like a baby at night for I didn't vote for Labour that sold us ...moreKarl
06-12-2007As an immigrant, I really was expecting more Britishness, but have seen very little. As this argument progresses, no one, it seems, is quite sure exactly what that means. And I’m not sure anymore. Perhaps I agree with the Prime minister on having a British holiday, where British history...morePaul
30-10-2007True Brit - What's that utter nonsense all about? What are you smoking? You need to sit down and give yourself a good talking to. Stop dancing around May Poles in your living room and go find a job.Gibbo
29-10-2007Britain is the cess pit of the world. Full of narrow minded inbreds and a corrupt, lying, stealing government.Theo
29-10-2007I'm sorry to have to break the bad news but, Britain is dead boys, died quite a few years ago now. Teaching Britishness to kids is a complete utter waste of time and effort. Stop living in the dark ages, It is the new European toilet and don't know it. The Govt is responsible for the do...moreGibbo
28-10-2007I am Brythonic Celt. In war we paint ourselves blue. Our leader is Boudicca and her daughters. Down with the Romans. Out with the Picts. We are the true Britons. Britannia is our homeland. Kynobellinus was our previous great king, Rex Britanniarum, Dux, Albiorix. Our religion Our Goddess: Sulis. ...moreTrue Brit
28-10-2007Yeah I have to agree with that... British culture is nothing more than chewing gum stuck to the pavement and chip papers blowing around the streets, it really is quite yuck... If you want to be British, simply forget how to cook, and don't close your mouth until you've finished your sentenc...morejk12
