Why do you ask ?
Why do you ask ?Which church do you worship at?
Interested whether you care deeply about xian faith or just using it to make a pointWhy do you ask ?
Probably correct.Still maintain far more British culture is erased by American cultural dominance than any immigrant.
Heavily dent it I think.Would two users talking to each other in Hindi (even setting up their own separate forum or sub-thread to do so) erase that culture?
I am not making a point around Christian faith. That wouldn't be Christian.Interested whether you care deeply about xian faith or just using it to make a point
I am not making a point around Christian faith. That wouldn't be Christian.
Remarking that it's probably the biggest cultural change in 60 years in this Country :
the continued decline of Christianity & at what cost ?!
However if you are asked , & I was , if you have faith, you have to tell.Honestly this insistence that we’re super Christian I’ve only heard in the last five years or so. Generally the attitude to faith I’ve witnessed in the UK is don’t ask don’t tell.
The truth is and nobody seems willing to say it for fear of being labelled as racist or Islamophobic, that quite simply the crux of the 'change culture' is people are scared of Islam. If you dont bury your head in the sand, the general consensus who hide behind 'we're Christian' are in most cases I believe agnostic at best.
There is a genuine fear of 'Islam is taking over' and lots are scared by it in most I assume because a) they don't understand it and b) the attacks over the past generation that have been carried out in it's name by extremists. If there was a willingness to accept we have an issue and an equal willingness to accept that we can all live in a safe space without fear, that indigenous folk can express their concern without label and that immigrants are held to the same standards but without persecution then I think it would all be a lot more harmonious and in general would stop hiding behind changes in culture or religion.
If you asked me there's nothing more British culture than going out and drinking a barrel load of German or Irish beer followed by an Indian curry. Culture changes over time and that's ok, but let's also not shout down everyone who has a different view and feels marginalised or it will only create further division and eventually hate.
A generation ago I think you might have had a more valid point, but apart from a few eejits, I think even the most ignorant these days know that a turban doesn't represent a threat and I can't think of a single thing Sikhs have done negatively to any community on British soil.
This is no way suggesting all Muslims are the problem either, but to call it out for what it is that people are scared of radical Islam so their interpretation is to shut down to all of it.
Change of topic:
Drivers caught speeding at 164mph told to stop being 'selfish'
At least 24,000 drivers were detected speeding at over 100mph in five years, police data shows.www.bbc.co.uk
I was told on my speed awareness course that 30mph over the limit and you “lost your licence” clearly that just means “a short ban”.
Really should as I'm just waiting on one coming through for 35 approx in a thirty,oh well think I'm going to have to pack it in anyway, cracked my windscreen,hot water out the tap,silly mistake always used tepid before.+£200app,New exhaust for MOT circa £300Insurance hike,tax.Excess speed, especially to that extent should be viewed the same way morally as drink driving
Well that’s nothing to do with immigration.I am not making a point around Christian faith. That wouldn't be Christian.

I didn't mention a cause, you have & that is your opinion. I said Christianity in the UK was diminished & therefore it was a significant "change to British culture" which I understood was the question raised.Well that’s nothing to do with immigration.
blame the first and second world wars
It is diminished as much because people are increasingly unlikely to believe in such utter nonsense, especially in a world with easy access to so much information.I didn't mention a cause, you have & that is your opinion.

Suella Braverman Says The UK Could Become 'The First Islamist Nation With Nuclear Weapons'
The former home secretary said Britain could "fall into the hands of Muslim fundamentalism" and become like Iran.
Suella Braverman has suggested that the UK could become “the first Islamist nation with nuclear weapons”.
The former home secretary said Britain could “fall into the hands of Muslim fundamentalism” and become like Iran.
“Is it an impossibility that 20 years from now it will be the UK, not China or Russia, that will emerge as the greatest strategic threat to the USA?
“Born out of a broken relationship and weak leadership. What happens if the UK falls into the hands of Muslim fundamentalism, our legal system gets substituted for Sharia Law and our nuclear capabilities vest in a regime not too dissimilar to that of Iran today?
Your assertion. Maybe one day you will reflect & reconsider.It is diminished as much because people are increasingly unlikely to believe in such utter nonsense, especially in a world with easy access to so much information.
After Pakistan. She really is a thicko, absolute fruit loop.Talking of a fear of Islam taking over...
God bless you fernandoIt is diminished as much because people are increasingly unlikely to believe in such utter nonsense, especially in a world with easy access to so much information.
Is it the case that you can get interest free loans, mortgage's, bring it on, but not the other stuff!Love the idea the Islamists could make us a power to rival China and Russia though. Maybe we should give them a shot?

You can see why Corbyn lost

OkI maintain that his Russia stance was far more damaging than his Brexit stance.

There seem to be lots of adverts for devices aimed at helping people getting done for speeding.Excess speed, especially to that extent should be viewed the same way morally as drink driving
I would very much like it if Strictly Come Dancing, The Masked Singer and Ant and Dec disappeared from UK culture.fucking hell, A+for the sweeping generalisations.
Don't want to shoot them down one by one or anything remotely like that. I want an idea of what culture people are fearing is on the verge of disappearing because I'm struggling to think of a single thing I'm concerned is about to vanish from life in Britain.
I mean if you want to take our culture from Facebook groups then we're already fucked.
