This is an excellent article and puts some common sense into this discussion. Despite the unpleasant presence of extremists-Muslim and other in our country, we have been pretty successful in creating a civic society that encompasses religious and cultural difference. We started that change in the 17th century when we had to come to terms with plurality of beliefs and the violent consequences of intolerance. It has been a long process but it is a priceless inheritance.
It is noteworthy that the current strident demands from the far right for the forceful assertion of so called British 'Christian' values comes from persons who seem to have no idea what they actually are. Good neighbourliness, as practised by our King, in ensuring by his own actions that those British citizens of non Christian beliefs are treated as we would wish to be,when living peacefully and enjoying freedom under law, seems to drive them to particular fury. We should not be surprised. Nazi Germany encountered the same problem when it set out to highjack Christianity to its agenda of extreme nationalism and racism and found that many decent Christians resisted which is why it ended promoting a concocted Germanic Aryan cult. We should not allow this attack on the real Christian values, that have helped make our country a good place for the vast majority of us of all faiths and none to succeed.
Hi @SuellaBraverman. You have it wrong, starting with the title of my office... 🤦♂️. Please read all the text and the supporting documents and stop playing politics with the People of Gibraltar whose future YOU and your ilk put in great jeopardy with #Brexit. Stop misleading with your selective quotation of a complex document largely negotiated by YOUR Conservative government when it was in office and YOU were Home Secretary.
