Popular Post seeder Posted April 25, 2016 Popular Post #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 What can I say..... Anger as council officials say UK city is ‘too multicultural’ to celebrate St George’s Day AN ENGLISH city council REFUSED to host St George’s Day celebrations because the area is “too multicultural”. Bristol City Council allowed the national day to pass without a single event for the patron saint, despite its history dating back to 1222. Council chiefs said 91 different languages are spoken in the town and it would be "very difficult to commemorate them all". http://www.express.c...St-George-s-Day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you can hardly call a celebration that has been in effect since 1222 Anno Domini an established or traditional cultural affair. But I am with you. It is your Rome, people who are offended by it can speak about, complain or just learn to go along to get along. But shelving a 794 year old tradition just because people are too lazy to learn the tongue of land seems rather, well, god damned silly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your brain Posted April 25, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The UK spent centuries conquering empires, and now they are just giving their own homeland away? You have had seeds growing from the inside, and now they are bearing fruit. The Trojans should have burned the horse. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenHawk Posted April 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Aren't people tired of PC? Let's just speak frankly. It has nothing to do with there being 91 different languages. Just one intolerant ideology. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeder Posted April 26, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I think its unwise to be so tolerant as to change traditions.... Hey I wont smash your windows for celebrating Ramadam, Diwali.... I wont get too phased when searching for radio stations and find MANY foreign language radio stations, broadcast from WITHIN the UK.... I wont get peed off when I see the Chinese celebrate THEIR New Year in 'our' town centres.... Or Yom Kippur, Or whatever else people feel they have a RIGHT to celebrate.... so just you dont try changing my traditional celebrations.... this is the home of the Brits .

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted April 26, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Sadly multiculturalism has ruined many a country, Empire, and is at it again. This isn't multiculturalism though, that's all cultures together - that's Vietnamese people cooking Mexican food, selling it to Welshmen on their way to a Greek Paniereri festival in a Japanese car in Australia - this is cultural cowardice, people being afraid of being called racist because they're proud of their culture and wanting to share it with others. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. But what is really funny about this whole panda-abortion is that people embracing multiculturalism forget that their culture was there first. It might be flawed, imperfect and devoid of class. BUT, it is still their culture. If you are gonna let the other *******s in your nation be proud of who they are (most of them ruined their own countries and had to leave for that very reason) then you should take a day to reflect upon why your country is great. And why all those ****-breed-b******* want to be in your nation rather than their own. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likely Guy Posted April 26, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Maybe the people in favour of St George's day should reclaim the day as well as the symbols from the racists who defile it. Maybe the silent majority should step forward? Just like the Muslims should fight against extremist Jihadists?

If I was you I'd be more worried about them representing me.. I suppose we will forever be left wondering if St. G killed the big D from in country or if D's passport read visa stamped from overseas. And what is worse? Placing into the ground the native monster or the imported beast? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RavenHawk Posted April 26, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Canada was built on multiculturalism. Good country. Prove me wrong. Multiculturalism is where people of different heritages come together and learn the adaptive host culture and in cases and in time, merge new traditions (as opposed to replace) with appropriate elements of older cultures all while keeping the flavor of the host culture. Kowtowing to complaints by one culture is not multiculturalism. I.e. if you want to immigrate to France from Syria, then your one goal in life is to become French, not go on a Hijrah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likely Guy Posted April 26, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 26, 2016 How's that multiculturalism going in Likely, BC? What are the demographics there bud? Out of 300 people? About 3 Filipinos, maybe 15 Cambodians, 15 or more Chinese and maybe 15 or 20 others (largely Native, Slavic). The rest of us are white as rice and appreciate their input. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
