    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

    Just those that don't moan about Nu-Labour stealth taxes

      Providing they have British passports and Citizenship, they're as entitled to comment as the next citizen. Which he does.
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        Since we all moan about the laws they should be applauded for making the effort to fit in.

          It depends on how many ancestors they have in the country.

          I'd say give individuals as many points as many ancestors can be traced back in his/her history.

          Extra-points given for people who have ties with slave traders.
          I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

            It's a case of Britain now seems to want to roll over and comply as far as foreign nationals are concerned, the country as a whole seems to have forgotten it's identity or seems to want to hide it.

            With widespread immigration to the UK why is it the country seems to want to change the way they do things and pander to all the nationalities that come here.

            No other country does this, you move to any other country and you adapt, learn the language if necessary and abide by the rules and respect the laws

            Here you don't have to learn the language, the local councils are bound to have literature on benefits etc... in the language of your choice.

            Having lived in East London for some time there were countless families did not speak English at all, this country has demonstrated how easy it is not to assimilate and still get by.

            As someone who has lived here for nearly 17 years it astounds me what has happened, it also annoys me when people move over here and complain about the culture (what's left of it) and simply don't want to fit in.

            Many other countries manage to be multicultural without losing their own national and cultural identities. They also manage to help those who emigrate to become part of the community, to learn the language and cope with laws and customs all without losing their own cultural identity

            Yes, most of us moan about what the country has become etc.. and we are entitled to an opinion, irrespective of country of origin, as long as we contribute and respect where we live.

              i think that anyone who whinges about their host's laws and conditions etc should be strung up and left to swing in the breeze

                    And what about those of us who have neither but are entitled to live in the country under EU laws etc...?
