How is your govt running your country.

[ARH]

Wow.... worms, can of, well and truly opened here.  Almost as good as a 'this is a great tyre' thread!

I'm pretty sure our grandparents said pretty much the same thing.... "everything's changing... and not for the better!"   I'm pissed of about Brexit, politics in general is pretty much a pile of shit everywhere, the namby pamby do-gooders have way too much influence in almost everything these days, and I'm completely fed up with being told what I should and should not eat/drink because I'll get some dreadful disease....
still...things could be a lot worse when I think about what's going on in some parts of the world.... and hey... I've got a 14

China has the right idea, one language, one religion if you don't like it fuck off before we will throw you out.  Britain is a white English speaking Christian country(although Pagans were here longer).

As an atheist I never understand the religious intolerance angle, basically most religions follow the one God but kill each other over how to worship him/her (see, I'm PC  ) the whole "my imaginary friend is the real one, yours is an imposter and following it is heracy "completly baffles me. I admire the faith people have, and quite often, the good they do in their God's name, but it is the intolerance of others that I just cannot understand. But the worst of it all, are the Politicians who use the intolerance in people to achieve their own ambitions.

My favourite Comedian  (and 2nd favourite biker) got it right when he said "Politicians should be banned from the profession purely on the grounds that they wanted to be one in the first place". - Billy Connelly.

I am not sure where you got those ideas about China, but there are at least 5 major officially recognised religions in China. Many of these are subdivided into dozens of minor folk religions, depending on the region.

There are 4 official languages in China; Mandarin, Cantonese, Portuguese and English (again, depending on region). I tried to look up the number of indigenous languages and lost count - there were 7 beginning with 'A'...

As far as I know China doesn't 'throw people out' for not conforming, although there is a news story at the moment about internment camps being built for Muslims (the Chinese claim that these are voluntary education centres).

The United Kingdom officially has a secular government; the church isn't allowed to interfere in affairs of state. It's a constitutional monarchy that allows freedom of religion (including the freedom not to have a religion). In the last census 59.5% of people identified themselves as Christian, although I very much doubt that they all go to church.

So I'm not sure what point you are making here. You don't want to let people immigrate unless they are white Christians?

Fishy, intolerant is absolutely the last word you could ever use to describe KF. I've met the bloke in person. You'd be hard pressed to meet a nicer bloke. IMO.

Sorry if there was a misunderstanding there. I wasn't trying to imply that KF was intolerant. The issue was about PC people saying that everyone has to be 'sensitive' - I just think 'tolerant' is a more realistic thing to ask for.

I'm sure most people on here are nice in person. Even me.

Red beat you to it  and clearly being black will be slower than a Blue and White cock

Back to bikes would be good. Politics just a boring thing.

 Guys l won't mention politics or politicians again......my question has been answered.

[VladTepes]

Hey I haven't had my say yet !  Who's steering this back to bikes.. 

In answer to the question "How is your govt running your country?"
Answer: Bloody poorly. No mate what party is in power.

Migrants - all I'll say on that is it's a bloody sad state of affairs when skilled migrants who'll earn their own incomes, are passed over in favour of those who'll be  drain on the welfare system.

OK I'll get off this now:
