THE RECKONING APPROACHES

THE RECKONING APPROACHES

Sooner or later, there is a war coming to the West and it will be caused by our unwillingness to recognise the nature of the beast. Islam accepts parity with no other creed and regards all other gods or religions as offensive to Allah which must be eliminated. Common sense, reason etc have nothing to do with it: it's a matter of blind faith trumping everything.

We are all familiar with the mantras -- It's always better to talk about things. Let's negotiate.   Lets discuss this reasonably and I'm sure we can resolve it. Let's find a middle ground. We can both find a mutually acceptable solution. Are we not all brothers? Etc etc etc. It won't work. The sooner we get real, the better. The real enemy of all of us is, quite simply, religion. The massacres during the Crusades were a part of the Christian response to the Muslim massacres during the Muslim takeover of the eastern Mediterranean. If it's not Jews versus Muslim, it is Muslim versus Christian, one Muslim sect versus another one, Catholic versus Protestant, one type of Protestant versus another......and so it goes on – over and over again. More people are murdered/tortured/persecuted/vilified in the name of so-called loving, caring and compassionate gods than you can shake a stick at.

Israel, Jerusalem in particular, somehow sums it all up. You've got touchstone religious symbolism for the Christian churches, Judaism and Islam all in one and the same spot, all relating to different gods/different versions of the same god/different ways of worshipping either the same god or else different ones. You pays your money and you takes your choice, according to which particular strain of those religions you make your spiritual pilot. Meanwhile, Islamic fundamentalists and Jewish fundamentalists (more in common with each other than either wants to contemplate) are hell-bent (oh, the irony) on precipitating a major, bloody confrontation that will involve everybody.

And all the while, Israel is nuclear, Iran intends to be, Meanwhile, the Pakistani military are..... Just waiting to see what happens next? Or maybe, actually planning to make sure the "right" thing happens?…

SOME NON-NEGOTIABLE PROPOSITIONS FOR WOULD-BE IMMIGRANTS .

PROPOSITION 1
This should be made clear to everyone seeking UK residency. Residency necessarily and unambiguously requires absolute acceptance,, formally acknowledged, of the primacy of the UK law, whatever the culture and religious beliefs held by the applicant.
This is non-negotiable. Anyone who cannot accept that proposition has no place here.

PROPOSITION 2
The national, unifying language of the UK is English. Therefore, permanent UK residence will require the adoption of English as the language of employment and education. Refusal to accept that means you have no permanent place in the UK.
This is non-negotiable. This should be made explicitly clear to applicants.

PROPOSITION 3
Grant of UK residency is dependent on acceptance of prevailing UK culture and heritage. That includes not only the freedom of choice of belief, but also the social and legal status of women and their right to choose for themselves their future partner. This includes the illegality of female genital mutilation. Anyone who cannot accept that proposition has no place here.
This is non-negotiable. This should be made explicitly clear to any applicant.


PROPOSITION 4
If, having accepted all the implications and requirements entailed in grant of residency, there is a wilful breach of those requirements, then not only is the residency or subsequent citizenship automatically revoked, the individual will be returned to their country of origin, irrespective of any changes in their UK domestic arrangements subsequent to their arrival in the UK. This should be made explicitly clear to all applicants. It is not negotiable.

Why has no political party made this part of their manifesto?
