"And did those feet, in ancient times, walk upon England's mountains green?" Who knows? But we have always been a Christian nation since religion became our first police force. We compared our actions to those of the ten commandments and tried to do better. We were quite good at it in the end, before we were invaded. Yes, we have been invaded by people who do not have the same beliefs or way of life and we have been expected to suck it up and shut up while our heritage was destroyed by incoming.
A vast number of people who in many cases had never had a proper roof over their heads, sanitation, schools for their children or a chance to better themselves. OK. Fair enough! Let's give these people a chance.
So what was in it for us, the ordinary British people? Well, as we have seen, absolutely nothing but verbal abuse. we are terrible people according to our incoming population , of which the vast majority are of Islamic faith. So why are they here? Why are they wishing to live amongst people they refer to as cattle in the Koran? They are here to suppress us. Nothing more or less. We can do nothing right in their eyes. We must all be destroyed according to the Muslims in the British Mosques. Yes, British Mosques! Did any of us over the age of 60 ever think Britain would have Mosques? No. Not in a thousand years,
My father was captured on Christmas Day 1941 and imprisoned in Japan during WW.2. He and a million other men who fought to defend our way of life. I often wonder what he would think if he were to come back and see the injustices imposed on the British people in favour of those who have never had to fight for it's land, it's principles and it's heritage. One thing I do remember was when crash helmets on motorbikes became law but turban wearing Indians were exempt. He remarked that this was the beginning of the end if there was one law for us, and a different law for incomers. He was right.
My Uncle Robert was in the middle east during W.W.2. His words of wisdom were "Never trust an Arab. They can smile in your face while they stab you in the back and take the sugar from your tea at the same time." Perhaps these were words of warning for the future?
So what has changed since we opened the door to the people who hate us most? Well, let's start with the life of British children. Firstly, when I went to school 60 years ago, we started the day with The Lord's Prayer, followed by thirty minutes of Stories from the Bible. We sat quietly and listened to our teacher. The boys were little gentlemen and the girls were happy and all played together. This is not to say that there was never any upset between pupils. Of course there was. But they were settled swiftly by teachers or the headmaster, for whom we all had respect. We all spoke the same language, we all had fathers that had come back from the war and we all faced the same hardships, mainly lack of money. But all being in the same boat was what made us closer than children are today: The "I want" brigade that have zero respect for anything or anyone but themselves. In being this way, they are the most ignorant group of Brits since the early 19th century and before schools were free to all. All of this has now gone. We don't want to offend the incomers, now, do we? Well, frankly, if they don't like it they can always leave! I don't remember being asked if we wanted to be invaded by people who are nothing like us, do you? Italians, French and most of our close European neighbours fitted in perfectly. We understood each other and shared many cultural similarities so we hardly noticed them. They were very welcome to come and they brought with them many things we still enjoy today. French and Italian cuisine, for example!
I had never seen a black person up close until I was 9 years old and a bi-racial family moved into the neighbourhood. It was an eye opener. The eldest boy started a gang that ran rampant. They terrorised the other boys and were often seen pulling knives to relieve kids of their pocket money or lunch money. That was my first encounter with a black family and it obviously wasn't a positive one. His sisters were just as violent, picking fights with nearly everyone in the school. Just that one family upset the whole dynamic of an areas existence. What could we do about it? Nothing. Needless to say the boys all ended up at reform school
