I point you all to today's Daily Express comment - which says it all. Unless we leave the EU we are going to be overwhelmed with immigrants. Now who wants to call me a racist? That's about the only thing the "tories" and Lib-Dems can say. Trouble is the people want something else - which is why the "tories" will not win.

What you are effectively saying is WE should impose OUR culture and views on anyone who is not of anglo-saxon Christian origin. Yet you say you don't want 'foreign' cultures imposing their ways on you! You are suggesting the very thing you object to! <br /><br />(And no, I don't want sharia law or any imposition of foreign culture in my country either. Nobody will ever force views on me I don't want. But that isn't what you're saying.)<br /><br />You imply you are against 'all things multi-cultural'. The UK has not been a singularly anglo saxon Christian country for decades. We were invaded by foreigners only a thousand years ago, while the roots of the British Empire were forged 400 years ago, when we Brits imposed our culture on half the world. <br /><br />I hope what you meant to say was that everyone should RESPECT our culture and values, as we should respect theirs, which I would agree with. We all have to abide by the law, so that's a moot point.<br /><br />I have traveled to countries where the burka is widely worn and have never had anything but the warmest welcomes and hospitality, as well as respect for my culture - a far cry from what non-white 'foreigners'(and even British muslims) receive in the UK.<br /><br />You are in danger of creating an impression with this policy that you believe all burka wearers are concealing bombs and weapons, or are about to commit crimes. I do not believe that is your intention. I believe the presentation of your knee-jerk reaction policy is misguided and incorrect.<br /><br />You may argue if people have nothing to hide, then why hide your face? Well, the 'nothing to hide' argument is the one used by the pro-identity card lobby, and I'm sure you don't agree with that.<br /><br />I agree there are serious problems with how Islam deals with the issue of face covering in the UK, especially where airport security is concerned, and I believe these issues should be addressed first before a burka ban is considered. Even the French are treading carefully on this one.<br /><br />If you did not mean that you wish to impose our laws, culture and values on others, then please clarify. Otherwise I will assume you do not really like anyone who doesn't fit in with your culture, and that you believe anyone wearing a burka is concealing a bomb or intends to rob a bank. Heaven knows what you'd think of someone wearing a burka who rides a motorbike.<br /><br />I do not believe you are racist, David, but I do think you are xenophobic in your outlook to this particular issue.<br /><br />This most certainly is not about 'fair play'.<br /><br />But thank you for a relatively clear expression of your views. It is appreciated.<br /><br />And don't ever accuse me of being a Labour supporter or I will have to take action and spike your Guinness.David B, CBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28918367.post-6808156147747581822010-01-19T20:23:23.835+00:002010-01-19T20:23:23.835+00:00Not a cop out at all "Mr B" - believe yo...Not a cop out at all "Mr B" - believe you are a Labour supporter how interesting you like to come on here and comment.<br /><br />This government have done more than any in history to damage our country and wreck our culture and society. They have forced their views on people who haven't been asked about it. Yes, I am all in favour of "banning the burkha". Why should I be stopped from entering a supermarket or post office in a crash helmet and someone else can hide their face? This is supposedly a christian country and EVERYBODY should abide by our laws, our cultre and our values. If you are so in favour of things multi-cultural I suggest you decamp and put yourself up for election in Baghdad West. And before you bleat on with the sort of reply I expect, NO it's nothing to do with racism, but believe it or not - fair play.

And as the "Tory" loving Daily Mail said this week - "Big words Dave, but control now rests with Brussels" - until we leave the EU then not even the Lord himself can control our immigration. So enough of this piffle. Tell the electorate the truth, stop wrapping it up in toryspeak, in other words what you think the electorate want to hear, and lets have some honesty.
