There is a huge racist movement driven by our own government to marginalise and attack the indigenous white english race and I for one am sick of it.

Why are you 'us'?
I thought you were British. Unless you wish to differentiate by race, creed, religion or colour, thus creating a divide which is what is being referred to.
Or am I missing something here.....

Errr, no.
I am simply confused why you refer to yourself as 'us'
You are either part of 'us' or part of your own 'us' hence my confusion.

Is it not acceptable that one can live in the country, contribute, abide by the laws and repsect those that are present (basically keep your head down and fit in!) without being all patriotic and having feeling British?
That is what the problem is, we all seem to be tippy toeing, and bending over backwards to take action against anyone who is remotely anti-Muslim, but any anti-British sentiment by Muslims is tolerated. And it is that which creates friction and resentment.There is a huge racist movement driven by our own government to marginalise and attack the indigenous white english race and I for one am sick of it. If we treated other races this way there would be a PC uproar. PC (Politically Correct) seems to be the favourite stick to beat the (soon to be a minority) english race with: no one should be treated like this.
I haven't bothered to read the previous pages, but on the odd occasions that i do trawl through these threads, the 'extremists' (whoever they are) have appeared to have achieved a partial victory because their objective is to cause disagreements between people (whoever they are) and hence the vicious cycle begins.

Absolutely!I don't feel at all British despite both sides of my family being entirely from the northern part of the biggest of the British isles for as long as records go back.
Relatives of mine fought, and in some cases died, in the war that gave rise to the symbolic poppies mentioned here.
I have much more respect for those whose lives were sacrificed, on both sides, and their kin than I have contempt for any of the states that did the sacrificing and as such I'd be disinclined to burn a poppy.
I have no real respect for any superstition whether it styles itself the one true religion or not, though I have occasionally feigned it out of politeness, but my contempt for those who proselytize tends to exceed my respect for the often worthy philosophy buried within many religions so I can see circumstances where I might burn some tract that had been forced upon me...
The freedom to preach from a text is identical to the freedom to burn it, I would constrain neither.
