Thank you for your letter dated 3rd September 2002.

Mr. Prescott has asked me to write to you regarding
your claims of discrimination. After making enquiries
I believe you are a citizen of the United Kingdom and
have a native ethnicity.

I shall attempt to answer your comments. Firstly, I
assume you are referring to the Census form that has
no facility for stating English nationality. This is
because there is no such nationality as English as
laid down by various acts of Parliament and accession.
Persons born in the United Kingdom are citizens of the
United Kingdom and are therefore British/English.

Secondly, you state that your children are unable to
practice their religion at school. Since 1989, all
non-denominational schools in the United Kingdom have
had the right to Christian assembly removed. This was
because it was felt to be insensitive to the needs of
ethnic minorities being forced to practice a creed
different to their own. There is however, no reason
you cannot attend church services of your own
denomination in your own time.

Lastly you are complaining that you cannot celebrate
your patron saint's day without punitive financial
penalties being imposed. Again, there is no reason
preventing you from celebrating in your own time as
long as your celebrations are kept within legal
restraints and do not interfere with the sensitivities
of any ethnic minority.

I trust this letter answers your queries.

Yours sincerely

R. Morrison

PP Rt Hon John Prescott.


This is they very BS pushed by the PC left that is giving racism so much fuel to thier fires. If Ethnic minorities are so friggin offended by local holidays and customs, they are in the worng country and need to go elsewhere.

If I went to india and got all pissy because people publically celebrated thier Hindu festivals and worshipped thier gods publically, what would that make me? if I went to japan and screamed how all those shinto shrines pissed me off and offended me, what would they do?

This is what I mean, suppressed national holidays, cultural things, celebrations, religions. if people immigrate to a country, they had better learn to accfept and adapt to the local flavor and customs, and if they find it all so offensive, then go the hell back home.

I was in Saudi Arabia, not of my own sole choice, and found the whole Ramadan to be offensive, but you didnt here me complain, I simply kept quiet and let them do thier own religious thing, its thier country, after all.

I don't want the UK to change to suit a minority


I take it that I, a British citizen and taxpayer, would count as a minority too, then?

I agree almost entirely with the quoted letter. The point about being "officially" English is a good one - the country you live in is called Britain, mate, so it says the same on your passport as it does on mine. That is political reality.

Secondly, I agree that religion should be kept out of schools: and I mean all religion, whether it's hunduism or catholicism or just plain old vanilla C of E. If you want to indoctrinate your kids, do it in the privacy of your own home. Don't waste valuable educating time filling their minds with myths and lies.

The only thing I disagree with is the thing about St. George's Day. If you're going to have a national patriotic holiday, then it should be an official holiday and celebrated like the Scots or the Irish do.

The point is this: these changes aren't about the tired right-wing argument that "immigrants are changing Britain". It's about Britain changing to reflect a new social order and new political and cultural realities. The old-guard tories and the neo-right are fighting it tooth and nail because there is no place for their small-minded brand of negativity and conservatism (small C) in this new Britain. Guess what? We don't live in a country of village greens and warm beer, of cricket and friendly local butchers. We live, in short, in the information age - not the tweed age.

There are important things that we should take from our collective history and reintroduced to contemporary culture - courtesy and nobility, a slower pace of life which stresses quality over quantity, respect for learning and education, and personal responsibility to name a very few - but we're not going to do it by putting our fingers in our ears and singing "la la la la la" until the nasty foreigners all go home.

The UK isn't changing to suit a minority - it is, by definition, changing to reflect the new majority.

All in all, the letter seemed rational, logical, and equitable - which makes me believe that it probably wasn't passed in front of the snout of Prescott the Hutt.

I couldn't agree more, and I'm as saddened by it as you are. But you don't fight extremism by battening down the hatches and adopting a siege mentality - you beat it by being better than them.

Go out with your asian and black friends, find a member of the BNP, and tell him you're glad that he can express his political views in a free democracy.

He'll hate it.

You can't regain the old English identity, but it's not too late to forge a new one.
