Casey Report: Promote Britshness
Discussion
You guys shock me, we're looking for what "Britishness" is, isn't this Britishness the not exactly by law freedom to be annoyed or to annoy. Aside from that we have a rich history of progressive movement being tempered in a traditional/conservative way. We are not America with it's constitution but have something laid over a much longer time, an uncodified constitution through many years of Parliament. We have a long reaching past and it worries me when the average "White Britain" doesn't know or a lot of times have been brain washed to lump it all in as some evil history of oppression.
If we had a decent education system, we would be taught of our past and of the "new British" or 3rd generation + migrants from the old commonwealth countries. If we had all been taught a bit more about our shared history through the commonwealth with it's bad and good points on both sides we'd be better off. This new age of "100 muslims pilots fought in ww2" but no one talks of the great sacrifices of Britains to change things for the better. No one teaches you about the West Africa squadron. No one teaches about the Somerset V Stewart case.
It boils my piss that we're not a bit more proud about our past and trying to carry through time that greater than the sum of it's parts Britain, that for better or worse might of colonized but built infrastructure and civic structures, that sometimes made some damn stupid mistakes but at more than one point in history led the world into a better light. We all practiced chattel slavery at one point or another, even those who were enslaved only ended up like that as they lost, if they were the victor it would be the other way around.
Not even gone into the industrial past which again influenced the world in a bigger way than just more linen.

The Mail has an opinion on this from Blackburn - not a place for me.
As developed societies move away from religion living near to a place of worship has no meaning / value to us. For the religious from the third world their place of worship is very important to them, hence Muslims will live near a mosque, which forces the white population away.
We have seen the same in Dartford (a s*** hole anyway), the Winners International Chapel moved from Stratford to Dartford following the Olympics, and there has been an influx of "Winners" to the area - initially we all like the benefit of a Blip in house prices, but over time the area will change to reflect the make up of the Church goers.
Until people lose religion, living near their place of worship will be important to them.

Hiding your face in public is divisive (hence yet another thread on it), there is no need for it in the 21st century.
Different debate, but with the amount of surveillance and scrutiny we are all under in the 21th century, isn't there a greater need for anonymity in public? Hiding your face in public is divisive (hence yet another thread on it), there is no need for it in the 21st century.
