You misunderstand

This is nothing against muslims

This is the fact that the administration of this country seems to think we can't have a National Identity for fear of offending whatever minority is relavent at the time
Muslims was just an example
We appear to pander to every minority and it's an offence to be English these days

its just the way it is nowadays plod
Launguage barrier is the Main problem on both sides we dont understand them they dont understand us,
but why shouid we learn a new language when we was born here english is what we speak so why change that,
but if we went to another country wouid they try to understand us or just laugh or grin or throw rocks,

if people understood them or couid comunicate with them the world wouid be better place but ithink its them that shouid learn our language and respect us its our country but its not in there eyes,

if you come here and cant speak english its no big problem you get a translator provided, and usually that translator is getting well paid.
i know someone who got pulled in in france for speeding, there was no translation there.

thats a good thing mate,
but what imean by language barrier is this dont understand thing,
if we /they couid comunicate we couid get along better they might see us a racist and ignorant but they carnt find out forthem selfs if they carnt talk to us,

they/we carnt understand whats right and whats not right if we they carnt talk they might as well be deaf
its a hard one as it works both ways

¿qué?

St George is the patron saint of England. We celebrate St. George’s day on 23 April......

St. George is also the patron saint of Portugal, Germany, Lithuania, soldiers and, less obviously, skin diseases and syphilis

Celebrate away.
