In many ways - we may have become a multicultural country - but that doesn't mean we don't still have a dominant culture and religion of our own. Some people on here throw the words multicultural and diversity around as an excuse to deny us and our country - our identity and our rights. Can be really annoying.

I may come across as a hypocrite but is our own way of life any better? We have criminals given slapped wrists even for serious crimes such as assault due to over populated prisons and clogged up court waiting lists, while victims of crime are treated like criminals themselves. We have procreation on the rise in teenagers, a drug culture, binge drinking, social unrest, ghettos springing up in inner cities, civil disobedience and rise in public debt. More and more kids leave school with fewer qualifications and those who do dream about hedonisitic lifestyles of working in the media, appearing on TV, becoming pin up models and reality stars than aspiring to be scientists or mathematicians. The Christian faith is becoming more and more irrelevant and fewer people want to get married preferring a life of promiscuity leaving more and more kids growing up without families. The Scots and Welsh dislike the English and want more and more independence making the country more and more divided. Europe has more control over how we are governed making our own elected politicians nothing more than pygmies. I could go on but you probably get the gist.

So I ask myself is our way of life worth protecting anymore when there is so much wrong with it?
