Does she go to a catholic or christian school? If not I don't understand the outrage because the vast majority of this country aren't religious so for them not to do a religious play isn't surprising.
Xmas plays are now more of a tradition here than a religious act. To cancel it so as "not to offend Muslims" is ridiculous, come on
lol at thinking this country has the right to complain about multiculturalism, who started it in the first place? It's known as 'Great' Britain because of the Empire built up around the world, you think you can go to other countries absorb their culture, prosper off their resources , invite their workforces to build your country up and then complain 50 years later about multiculturalism? pmsl you're avin a laugh aren't ya?
The school has mainly been Christians over the years.... But it's the fact that a Christmas play is tradition going way back. And it has to be cancelled because some next religion might be offended by it. How about they just accept that they are in a Christian Country and get on with it. Would Muslim countries bend over backwards to cancel any of their traditions not to offend me if I was over there? For some reason I just don't think so.
And I can complain about Multiculturalism all I want. I didn't exist during the British Empire so it has nothing to do with me, and if you feel I benefit from it then so does everyone on here but still set guys who are 3rd generation Brits in this country don't feel any love or loyalty to it and complain about the land and it's people. I've lived in a mixed area all my life, loved the diversity and culture that it brings, the music, the food etc. But mass immigration has totally changed the face of the place now. From when you go from a neighbourhood where most people know each other to people walking around who don't smile at you or speak english or have their faces covered up or just have totally different values are not interested at all in adopting a british way of life then society as you knew it breaks down.
I don't care what it is 'officially' but in truth England isn't a Christian country, churches across the country are closing at an alarming rate because they aren't being used and don't have the funds to sustain themselves so why not respond to what the people think and just officially make the UK a secular state?
If you want your Children to be brought up with Christian values that are reinforced by Christian activities then surely you send them to a Christian school. Did they do another play in it's place or nothing at all?
You can complain about Multiculturalism all you want but you run the risk of looking a bit daft in the process if you don't acknowledge how this country has prospered from it in the past and continues to even now. 'You didn't exist during the British Empire so it has nothing to do with you' No you're not personally responsible but the great country you want to see restored was built on the back of the British Empire. I'm fully aware that a lot of the things I enjoy as a British citizen are a result of morally questionable acts by the British in other countries and it's something I always acknowledge hence the reason I don't begrudge people coming here to try and make a better lives for themselves or outright condemn people that harbour negative sentiments against this country.
Yes there are some 3rd generation Britains that don't love this country and that's partly because they don't feel accepted by the indigenous whites that are ever so quick to point out that they're really British, others that visit their country of origin have seen firsthand what influence the UK has had there and struggle with the reality of prospering at the expense of their own family. Then there's people like me that despite being born here, living here, being educated here and paying their own way here their whole lives are actually told they aren't actually British. I had to pay to be naturalised as a British Citizen and the whole process made me question my identity - when someone at the Home Office actually tells you that you're a citizen of a country half way across the world despite your whole life being here it makes you think and it links in with what I said earlier in response to Local's post - what is enough to make you British?
The subject of British identity is a very complex one that requires taking into consideration a lot of things.
Make ur mind up son, one hand ur talking about taking it back to when britain was great and next ur trying to distance yourself from old farts and colonial days.
By your stance you are as much to blame with the current wars going on then
You see how your mentality is wrong as that means the current atrocities this government commits are your fault
I had no part in the current wars or what happened back in the days so dont feel guilt like you may do
