Are these points too draconian?

[anotheoldgit]

I was recently repeatedly asked to outline 6 bullet points on the actions that I would take if I was in Number 10.

To which I replied:

Too late now, if you had asked this question 50 odd years ago, then perhaps we could have helped to solve some of today's problems.

1. All British passports to be considered void, on the granting of independence from British rule.

2. Limit immigration to include only self financing skilled persons.

3. Immigrants to learn English, and then to apply for British citizenship.

4. Ban on certain items of clothing that is alien to our culture.

5. No dispensations from the law of the land

6. Restrictions on the type of architecture, that is liable to change the face of English towns, cities and villages.

To which my original taunter was strangely 'As quiet as the grave'.

My points were more recently copied by another ABer to somehow prove his point, but once again all was quiet as the tumble-weed blew down the street.

I now enter these 6 bullet points once again, to ask ABers their opinions on them, and all I ask is for constructive non abusive answers.

I see that no one has objected to point no1 and 2
I would like to see the call centres south of the equator closed and brought back to the uk , we financed the banks we should get the jobs...also bt (British Telecom) half of the call centres have people who dont have English as a st language.

[boxtops]

..then you don't help them to integrate, AOG. I'm against no 4.

[rich47]

you are right redhelen ...AOG is demonstrating pure xenophobia.

[jno]

sounds like it, doesn't it, redhelen... the "certain items of clothing" presumably refers to burqas, though the OP is too shy to say so.

[mickrog]

you get my vote aog

[boxtops]

nanny, most of the call centres I connect to aren't south of the equator, they're in India and Bangladesh

[nannybooby]

Box tops you knew what I meant.sorry geography was nearly as poor as spelling at school ;-)

[anotheoldgit]

Oh dear the thread appears to be spoilt yet again by the 'silly billy brigade'.

How can one expect a sensible debate on certain issues without them infiltrating the threads?

[nannybooby]

Are you having a dig at me AOG ? I was inviting people to discuss points 1 and 2

[THECORBYLOON]

"Regarding the architecture I was referring of course to middle eastern types of buildings i.e. golden domes and minuets etc" yeah flaming minuets, I'm sick of seeing folk dancing slowly in the streets...

[bazwillrun]

redhelen & rich47

please explain why you seem more than happy to see this countries identity and heritage to be thrown away.

If i come to your house and you have rules i would have to abide by them.
if i dont like or agree with those rules then I shouldnt come to your house.

[bazwillrun]

AOG

you should know by now that there are those on here who clearly understand and know what is meant but whos only recourse is to obfuscate and twist things around

[mickrog]

nannybooby........your education was bad cus the teacher had to teach half the class to speak english lol....

[nannybooby]

Mickrog ..when I went to school we only had English children in our school and it was a state school just a long long time ago and I was a daydreamer.
No comment on points 1 and 2 yet I see

[nannybooby]

I personally think that ponit 1 is now a bit like shutting the stable door ..etc the oh who is Irish says hat its our heritage following us home .

[rich47]

bazwillrun .... what about the Saxons, Vikings, Normans ... were they OK because they were white?

[mickrog]

me too......but i was purely making a point....i could have put it better and stated that i meant it for these times....

If you weren't too busy siding up with your soul mates, you would not have failed to notice my reference to the 'Burka' in my 11.54 post.

[nannybooby]

Speak to me AOG

[jno]

then I withdraw my admiring mention of your shyness, aog.
