If you are a guest in someone’s home, you don’t demand they change the house rules for you.
Immigrants have a duty to adapt to the laws, culture, and values of the nation that welcomed them. Citizenship should be an achievement you earn and respect, not an automatic claim on welfare and benefits.
@Simon_Gleaden@SimonDanczuk Driving on the wrong side of the road implies intent, surely. What did they think was going to happen unless they were exceptionally thick!
One of the most thoughtful, intelligent and balanced articles that I have ever read on illegal migration and the small boats crisis. Kudos to @matthewsyed for this:
“Your first duty is to serve your own citizens. Not people from Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan or Nigeria. The British people.
Oh, and the nation you serve is not just a territory. It is a home. Our home. It is where we live and work, and where ritual, community, family, and other concepts we might assemble under the rubric of "culture" come together to weave the fabric of a life. Our life. The only life we have and which unfolds in concord with those with whom we share it.
Without borders, we are not a nation, and without a nation, we are nothing.
We are but tribes or clans, scattered here and there, pipsqueak groups unable to operate at scale or to defend what is precious. To open our borders in the name of "compassion" to people, some of whom hate our values and wish to destroy them, is to place your virtue above our safety. It is a form of self-annihilating madness dressed up as enlightenment.
Only the myopic will infer from the above that I am in favour of slamming the doors to those in need.”
Here’s the full article in The Sunday Times.
@Emma_A_Webb@PatrickChristys@GBNEWS Rowan Williams can start simply by confronting the Muslim desire to kill Christians or the Infidel as they call them!
QUENTIN LETTS: Chilling threats from Putin, a bloated welfare bill and a deepening small boats crisis... but Andy's at a bus depot like the Mayor of Trumpton https://t.co/ad0HDPcWMj
When I were a lad, “Far Right” meant people who agreed with Hitler. Today, apparently, “Far Right” means people who voted for Brexit; who don’t hate the UK; who don’t feel guilty for being white; who don’t believe that men can get pregnant; who believe in facts & common sense.
Labour’s Net Zero Secretary championed the VAT raid on private schools – but it's now emerged she sends all three of her own children to one. A classic case of socialism for thee, but not for me.

The Church of England is useless at leading the Christian church in England. Who are they going to give these reparations to since no one in Africa today was alive when the British were slave trading?
Project Spire (the Church of England’s plan to give away £100million in ‘reparations’ for its role in the transatlantic slave trade) is not only intellectually lazy and ethically dubious, it is also – on a practical level – ruinous.
Quite literally. We have parish churches, in desperate need of roof and other repairs, that will lose out on funding support because random Ghanaians or Cameroonians who never experienced the harms of slavery are somehow judged to be deserving of a windfall.

Afghanistan’s education minister announced that women are permanently banned from attending schools.
The United Nations? Silent.
Women’s Rights Organizations? Silent.
Greta Thunberg? Silent.
They’re too busy being obsessed with Israel and the Jews.
