I do wish people would use email stripper before posting forwarded emails with every ruddy line starting with a > > >
It is so simple to use and reduces the annoying > > >

Dave this sounds like the ideal gift, an email stripper where do i get one from, can we try before we buy.

I have said it before but I won't apologize for not changing the record we should always remember that this forum is there for all to view and sometimes we should maybe take a little bit more care when expressing our opinions....
why? in case we hurt someone feelings?.

No....I think there is a difference between hurting someone's feelings and being insulting and offensive.
Pred just because they do that does it make it right.
We can all do and say anything we please it doesn't make it right.

I AM DIFFERENT, i am English! i do not go to their countries telling them who to pray to or takeing dole money from their state, i pay my taxes, surely i'm aloud to have an opinion as to how they are spent and how my country is run!
ellal are you employed? do you pay taxes?

Sounds to me like you are having a fanatical rant, so what actually makes you 'different' from those you appear to want to get rid of?...

Does one need to be religious to have a fanatical rant? if so i dont qualify.

You of course have a right to an opinion, but don't expect those who don't tend to discriminate not to disagree with someone who does!

I dont discriminate with law abiding citizens with a similar "live & let live" attitude.

Oh, and while you're off on yet another 'english' superiority crusade, spare a thought for those around the world who we've being telling how they should run their lives for a long time now ....

Me personally? i dont think so!

And of course the millions we've killed in the process...

Me personally? i dont think so!

But when others (not of this country) do what they do in this country and are allowed to do what they do, but we are not allowed the same freedom of expression, something's wrong. Susie.
This is the point many of us are trying to make.

Yes I do understand and on that point JJ I do agree fully .... but as I understood it I don't think the original post quite expressed the same sentiment.

 

[pred]

I think the original post was making sure he covered all angles

 

[Space cat]

I am the political Parties Worst Nightmare. I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, God fearing Indigenous BRIT ...... I am a hard working and l work long hours to earn a living. I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others...

But you still represent a sizeable chunk of the electorate so they'll have to pretend to like you.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some leftist governmental functionary, Labour, Greens or Liberal, that wants to give it to those who don't work!

You'd better hope you die before you get old then.

I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist; it makes you a smart BRIT. I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything!

Fair comment.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English. I believe there should be no other language option in Britain.

Aha! I know who you are now. You're that woman who wanted to put the Welsh into Room 101. "Anne Robinson, you are the wickest leek. Goodbye!"

I don't hate the rich, but hate the way they are always finding ways to pay less taxes. I don't pity the poor, I hate the way they are always crying that they are hard done by! I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

Fair enough.

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is BRITAIN .....We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ....so stop trying to change it to look like India, Africa, Pakistan, Iraq, Poland, Russia or China, or some socialist, Third World, Tin Pot country! If you were born or legally migrated here and don't like it, you are free to move to any country that will have you.

Actually, I didn't like it much the way it was when I was born - but it's improved with age.

I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the Houses of Parliament and Lords, the seat of our biggest problems.

The best of British luck mate.

I want to know exactly where the "Do Gooder's " get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution?

If you ever find out, let me know.

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what race, colour or creed you are, but not just because you happen to be an illegal alien and scream that they are "RACISTS PIGS" . And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's licence. I think it's good....

Ditto!

I hope you are not too stupid to claim to know how our electoral ballot system works, the Politician's don't, so what hope have we?

OK! I won't try to tell you how politics works if you don't try to tell me how the Large Hadron Collider works. Deal?

I dislike those people standing at Traffic Lights trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause. Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

Redoubled in No trumps!

I believe that it doesn't take all the intellectuals to raise a child, it takes two parents....a mum (female) and a dad (male). Are you listening Elton!

Oddly enough, and despite anything you might have inferred from other posts, I'm with you on this one. You can't just rewrite many thousands of years of evolution. So that's two parents, one of each sex, and you might also add that they should be lovers.

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think - if you break the law you should forfeit your human rights!

Agreed!

I believe the Union Jack flag should be the only one allowed to be flown in Great Britain, except outside Foreign Embassy's!

So no Olympic flags this year then?

If this makes me a BAD BRIT, then yes, I'm a BAD BRIT. If you are a BAD BRIT, please forward this to everyone you know.....

We want our country back!
My Country.....
I hope this offends all illegal immigrants.

It probably will.

My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer War. My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the World Wars 1 & 2. Myself, our sons and daughters watched & bled as their friends died in The Falklands, Afghanistan and Iraq .. None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag. Every BRIT died for our flag. Our young men are getting killed in Afghanistan whilst their young men run away, and get on a boat for BRITAIN, taking the place of genuine refugees!

Your great, great, great grandfather and his friends should have been tried for war crimes and, if found guilty, summarily dispatched with a bolt through the brain stem - which is a lot nicer than they deserved.

At a well known University foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a flag pole, BRITISH students took it down. Guess who was expelled?

I could guess but I'm sure you'll tell me anyway.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by every BRIT; and every BRIT needs to stand up for BRITAIN ..

We've bent over to appease the Brit-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because of the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the BRITISH flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list. And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message. BRITS, stop giving away YOUR RIGHTS!

Let me make this clear! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY - if you don't like it......LEAVE!

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against controlled immigration! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get a sponsor!
2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past!
3. Live by OUR rules ! Dress as we ,BRITS do.
4. Get a job!
5. Pay YOUR Taxes!
6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it!
7. NOW find a place to lay your head!

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! We've gone so far the other way . . . bent over backwards not to offend anyone

Only BRITS seems to care when BRITISH Citizens are being offended!

WAKE UP BRITAIN/ENGLAND!

Sorry, I've never voted for the BNP and I'm not about to start now.

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp!

I did get finger cramp once. Don't ask, you really don't want to know.

Made in BRITAIN & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!

Well let's face it. not much is made in Britain these days - but heaven help us if you're the best we can manage!

Space cat hummmmm, with a name like that are you from another galaxy? are you here illeagally?
However I've a confesion to make, in the first paragraph it says i am a religious freak, or words to that effect, i really should have paid more attention to the small print, because "I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT" and do not believe in god or faries, (the little ones with wings on their back)

 

[pred]

Also Mr cat, i think you have far to much time on your hands, unless of course you are a dab hand on the keyboard.

 

[Space cat]

Also Mr cat, i think you have far to much time on your hands

Guilty as charged.

Well Space Cat, I thought exactly the same, but at least you took the time to read all of it and give an opinion on all the aspects in a light hearted way, which this thread desperately needed and which served to prove that there are aspects of this that people identify with, although it was probably over aggressively worded.
But there again if as many think, that it was EDL or BNP propoganda, then perhaps it's their style.

I cannot believe that anyone raeding the original passage actually agrees with all of it, more likely just identifies with some of the issues it raised.


However, for introducing the light hearted approach I thank you !!

Been overdosing on all the tabloids again have we?....

It's a shame that some are still sucked in by sensational headlines isn't it...

All the ones that claim 'discrimination' is a one way thing...

You know - the type of story that is a large percentage of the ragtop's output that keep the already prejudiced happy in knowing they are 'right all along'...

JJ is bang on. No need to read any headlines to see that.
