We mustn't teach our kids to be British. How silly is that? Is it just me,or are we as a nation allowing ourselves to be converted to "barmy-ism"? According to the newly elected chairperson (groan) of the NUT (what a perfect anacronym), it is undesirable and dare I say it RACIST to teach compulsorily all immigrants the values of "Britishness".
It is precisely this "Britishness" that has welcomed all creeds and cultures into Britain.
Hang on a minute there. It is precisely this "Britishness" that has welcomed all creeds and cultures into Britain. Why would a foreign person wanting to come and live here desire anything other than and tolerant understanding (by comparison) community?
Britishness in its original true form has shaped the world for hundreds of years rightly or wrongly, depending on your view. But that aside, any foreigners coming to live permanently in this or any country for that matter, need to understand the ways of that country.
I was a foreigner myself where I worked and lived in Saudi Arabia around 25 years ago. I needed to know their ways and adapt, otherwise I would have been deported or possibly something worse. Also, I wonder why the Prime Minister of Australia John Howard is re-elected with such regularity. Could it be something to do with his no nonsense approach to immigration? Australia welcomes all, but this country has values and laws that are for Australians. You are welcome to live in the country as long as you abide by them.
Are we British really that bad?
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 British really that bad?

British culture? What British culture?
Britiain now is a cesspit confined to an island like Alcatraz were kids go around smashing up shops, sratching and throwing eggs at people's cars, happy slapping and beating up and frightening old people. The place is ridiculously expensive were people live in homes the size of a match box and drive a leased BMW that they think makes them middle class. No respect or social conduct in society, very individualist (me me me culture) and capitalist. They don't make things anymore, import everything from abroad, I mean everything.
The police are no where to be seen in the city centres when everyone is throwing up their dinner and 3 bottles of vodka on the pavement at 11 in the evening to find a man in a suit slipping into this mess when running to work the next morning. I have seen this happen numerous times.
Need I go on, I can write an essay with numerous examples about why Britishness is just a myth to cover up the massive, astronomical issues in their country. It's funny because it is so easy to fix if kids were actually brought up properly with the right values and not handed an xbox to shut up, if the government brings in more discipline in schools and on the streets, if people were much nicer to each other and showed some respect, obviously comes back to the issue with parenting and the government actually created incentives for good, decent citizens to do well and prosper and create disincentives for thugs to go around causing mayhem and actually stamped out this behaviour when they were younger.
That would be the empire when children worked in coal mines and cotton mills.
A vast generation of wealth for the upperclass and land owners.
A crap country ( the a***sole of europe) but not as crap as it used to be in the past.
No, it's no good. Can't understand it at all.
If a family simply moved in and then imposed their cultural rules upon your family home YOU would be INFURIATED, yet it’s OK to take place, just as long as it’s outside your doorstep and doesn’t DIRECTLY effect YOU and even IF damaging your nations whole history and structure.
Yes YOU will only realise and complain once it’s walking up your particular driveway and has finally to come along to change YOU’RE (Mr ABC's) home.
You’re a genius...and a traitor.
Promote the ways and values that created the modern world - British (1st) and European (2nd)
No culture
(01) - Binge drinking, vomiting on the pavement, and fighting and attacking innocent people when the pubs and clubs close.
(02) - Burning their children alive, abusing their children and such.
(03) - Hating the homeless, the sick, and the poor.
(04) - Murder.
Not to mention how Britain has become a nest for Islamic terrorist.
There is no British culture.
