It disconcerting to hear of an England, a UK, seeking to assert the most basic kinds of nationalism, running into German opposition that is considered credible.

This is what comes from a failure to study history, not as revised but as much as possible about things that really happened.

What remarkable folly to join a Union of states and not to have even considered the possibility that the only way out was feet first.

That would be because they are.

A foreign invasion engineered by the government? Sounds familiar.

What “huge sections” are you talking about? We have over 40 million foreign born now and that number will skyrocket after the amnesty. Every US state is now a border state.

Replace the word “immigrants” with “Islamic Jihadists” and the article would give immediate full disclosure of the very real problem residents are facing.

In many European countries you get paid the same if you make $500 a month or $5000 a month.

You know nothing.

In fact, ‘Naturalman1975’ here is a close personal friend of Charles. Speak to him. He will educate you on Charles’s religious beliefs.

Simply as a sensible Scot/Brit, who has met the man, I know the Charlie’s a Muslim nonsense is just that, nonsense.

Pity London isn’t England or the UK, then innit?.

The UK is 96% NON Muslim. Three parts of the UK have Muslim pops under 1%. Muslims are NOT (by far) the largest ethnic minority. Muslims, for all the noise, do not have any major political, economic or social power.

Whilst the UK DOES have a problem with extreme elements in Islam, this notion the Muslims do or are about to control the UK is frankly hilarious.

You ever wonder why we Brits here think its ridiculous/hilarious and why its Americans that believe it?. The answer’s in the question.

Britain (not England, swot up please) is not dead. And frankly Britain has been ‘dead’ for two hundred years: 1815, 1914, 1940, the 70’s......

The Scotsman fires back at all the Yankees. So I suppose all the stories we hear about muslim schoolchildren and their parents and their Imans
pushing the schools to accommodate their culture and their beliefs always at the expense of Christian believers is ‘nothing’. The cashiers in London, forced to remove their gold cross jewelry ‘nothing’.

From 2009; Ben and Sharon Vogelenzang, owners of bed and breakfast, The Bounty House Hotel in Liverpool were hauled into the courtroom because a muslim woman felt ‘harassed’ after a religious discussion is ‘nothing’ too. From Sept of 2014, “600 Muslim Asylum seekers found crammed into a 98 bedroom London hotel causing ‘noise, intimidation and antisocial behavior’. I guess that all mean ‘nothing’ too.

And yet another example of ‘nothing’.

So what of this article? What of those who feel “swamped”? And please don’t pull out the American liberal trick of “they’re all racists!”

If you read my FR posts, you know that I am always happy to admit that the UK has problems. non Muslim and Muslim. What I and the other UK and Irish freepers oppose is a lot of the hysteria and sometimes outright lies that are posted about the UK, again Islam and non Islam.

I agree with it. I am opposed to mass immigration and have always argued for a points based system. I am for immigration, but openly selective.

The great thing now is that immigrant communities and their children (be it the blacks who came in the 40’s to 60s, or the Asians of the 50s to 70’s) are more and more making their anti-mass immigration voice heard, which will negate the ‘racist’ card.

Reread your post. It doesn’t make sense. You don’t understand demographics. A Country is not the people who prattle on via the Free Republic posts. A country is its kindergarten. Wait for it. The seeds have been sewn. You cannot fight this short of forcefully removing thousands of families; all of whom will claim the “rights of Englishmen.”

96% of the UK is not Muslim. Three parts of the UK have less than 1% Muslims. Even great parts of England have little or no Muslim population (or ethnic at all), contrary to US belief.

I fully get what you say, I think however that Americans are overstating the future numbers of UK Muslims and the supposed future conquest of the UK by that religion.
