Olympic Conclusions

[Rusty]

Not wanting to get too Grahamm-esque but...

Yes, we, the people of Britain, who were being represented by the ceremonies. We, the British people who understand that while there are immigrants who take the piss and break the rules there are a lot of non-immigrants who do the same things and lot a of immigrants who do things right and make the UK a better place. If that doesn't include you then that's a pity.

I find it interesting that you believe you have a mandate to speak on behalf on the entire British people, except of course for the sizeable majority that would disagree with you for whom of course it's just 'a pity'.


And just how good is it that Britain is a colourful mix of alien cultures? Why can't it just be Britain? Surely that's what attracted all those cultures here in the first place? There's nothing good about Sharia law, child slavery, witchcraft, honour killings or polygamy, which appears to be the sort of cultural manifestations that are prevalent around here, or were you just thinking how you enjoy a curry?


You mention two newspapers that hold opposing points of view in an attempt to polarise and/or stereotype a disparate group of individuals that have no affiliation to either. Individuals that do however, have the ability and good sense to think for themselves.  If true to form the next weapon in the excuse arsenal would come in the form of ad Hominem attacks, so I'll leave this conversation there.  Just for the record, I'm also British, part of the British people, and No, you don't speak for me, just as Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, and David Cameron doesn't either.


Apparently that's 'a pity'.
