I think it's a load of bull****. What "wonderful British quality" is he on about?

I would agree with it, but being an optimist i would say there is still time to change and undo the wrongs.

I get his (or her) gist though.

New Labour has been rather authoritarian by curbing civil liberties in the name of "protection from terrorism".

Why do people continue to vote for New Labour?

Because in 1997, most people wanted the Tories out and wanted a change. In 2001, the Tories failed to make themselves a viable alternative and people still generally liked New Labour. In 2005, Labour may have won, but their reduced Commons majority reflected unease about the Iraq war. That's why :p:

Yet another person who thinks all Brits are scum (less himself of course...), and then most likely calls anyone who disagrees a racist... :rolleyes:

Yeah I agree with the guy, Labour have, as they always do, played by their own rules and no-one elses, with not a care given to the electorate which has too labour unders it so called 'policies'.

LOL. You got all that from my post?
Pray, tell me more about the "quality" referred to rather than spouting your absurd bile.

The people who are denying 'British culture' are probably immigrants themselves. No wonder integration is failing miserably.

Surely you're not suggesting that such a thing does not exist?

I'm simply pointing out the idiocy of comments like that. Every country has that intangible 'feel' to it. Many of us call it culture...to suggest you're own nation does not have any, is ludicrous. I believe you cannot see any given culture so clearly if you live within its framework, because you do not pick up the reference points, the symbols as it were because they are not so defined, put in sharp context (as compared to the experience of tourists/visitors/migrants).

You yourself have made an idiotic generalisation in suggesting (seemingly), that Britain has no real culture/s. The onus is upon you to proof it does not exist as much as it is on him to prove it does. If you believe British culture can be defined in a few lines, you're deluding yourself as to the nature of culture.

Britain has a culture, but like all other cultures its fluid, and flexible. I don't think labour is to blame for "the erosion of culture".
