PLLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE REPLYING
i do not often take to Facebook to express my views so fully but i am sick and tired of being called a bigoted racist even by those who know me best and I find if I try to hold a conversation to explain them I am just shouted down without being given the courtesy of being listened to.
So my views are ;
I do not care what colour your skin is, what Country you come from,what your culture is or what religion you follow, if you come here willing to integrate and work and contribute to this Country you are very welcome.
I will respect your right to continue to follow the culture and religion of your native land if it does not ignore the laws of this Country and I will respect your religion provided it does not preach harm or suffering being applied to any human or animal inhabitants of this planet we all share, and provided that you choose to accept that tolerance is a two way thing and do not try to force your ways
upon us.
I would be glad to see you having the same benefits applied to you as our native citizens once you are working and are therefore contributing to our Country's economy BUT please do not see it as your right to step on our shores and get the same full Social.and Financial Benefits as those who have lived and worked here for years and in many cases generations and have paid into the the Country through their labour and their taxes and National Health Contributions... that would just not be fair.
Tolerance only works if it is a two way thing so if you want tolerance please realise that you have to be tolerant as well.
If you have read this far i hope you now realise that I am neither bigotted or racistbut but whether or not you have changed your opinion of me I will end this post by saying the words with which Dave Allen always ended his act: may YOUR God go with you
