I'm glad you brought this up. Recently, there was a thread which asked if people would defend UK if she were to go to war with other countries. I was shocked to see many replies from forum members of Muslim ethnicity who said they wouldn't bother. (
I am describing their comments very mildly as I don't want to undergo that sick feeling in my stomach again)With regards to your posts, I sincerely hope that you will permit yourself to look at this from my angle (
me being a foreigner).
First of all, you have a weak British government led by a Prime Minister who is clueless. He claims that he will get a good deal for UK insofar as her membership of the EU goes but at the same time, he knows that the best deal is to be able to control your own borders and decide who can come and live in the UK, subject to
1)
checking if they are holding genuine passports
2)
checking if they have links to terrorist groups
3)
checking if they have criminal records in their home countries
4)
checking if they have the necessary educational qualifications or skill set
5)
checking if they have HIV/AIDS
Someone recently asked me why should people wanting to enter into another country, be checked for HIV/AIDS? This is because the government owes a duty to its citizens to protect them from people who may want to infect others with their communicable diseases. This is an extension of a '
social contract theory'. Read up on it if you have time.
You then have a Cabinet that is staffed with people who are equally clueless. How Theresa May, a geography graduate became the Home Secretary is beyond ridiculous. She has committed so many blunders over the years but the notable ones have to be
1) her threats to the judiciary on the issue of judicial review applications

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-22909465and some have said that she aspires to be the next PM of UK? I am sorry. She is no Margaret Thatcher. Dream on.
You then have many ministers who have been embroiled in the expenses scandal and continue to have their family members as their staff, on huge salary scales.

http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/feb/18/john-bercow-pmqs-letter-party-leadersIf that is not enough, you have a police commissioner who seems to only come out with a standard response every time something goes wrong. After awhile, all is forgotten and everything is back to square one. Btw, have you checked out his new ride?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/law-and-order/12091995/Sir-Bernard-Hogan-Howe-criticised-for-taking-new-luxury-car-amid-police-cuts-row.htmlYou then have multiple police forces all over UK which are led by Police and Crime Commissioners who are party partisan. Their elections have proved that it was a waste of your taxpayers money to finance it and that the voting turnout was horrendously low.

My favourite has to be Ann Barnes, the PCC of Kent. Words cannot describe her incompetence. You'll just have to watch this for yourself.

And allllllllllllllll this wastage of money while reducing the number of police officers and cutting their salaries!?!?
This, coupled with open borders make UK a very unsafe place. Why, you may ask? How are you able to detect the bad guys when you allow practically anyone to enter into your country and at the same time, expect the police to do their job when front-line staff are being stretched?
Shouldn't the logical thing to do be to take control of your borders, stop giving away billions yearly to EU and millions in foreign aid to India (
who btw have a very solid space shuttle and nuclear programme) and instead channel that money to paying higher wages to your doctors, nurses,
police etc and employing more of them?
http://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/624087/Fury-British-aid-wealthy-India-279millionhttp://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-34398449I could go on but I think I've made my point and that is this.
If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.In order for UK to return to its former status, you must
•
have an intelligent PM (someone like Margaret Thatcher) and assisted by capable Cabinet Ministers.
•
leave the EU, reclaim control of your borders and decide independently who can work and live in the UK
•
channel money into your front line forces such as the police, doctors, nurses and teachers
•
with tightened and controlled borders, the police should comb each city, check people if they have valid papers or deport them immediately if they don't. suspicious people with link to terror groups must be detained, investigated, charged and then imprisoned indefinitely
•
be brave to launch police investigations into terror groups, regardless if they operate in the churches, temples, mosques or at the playgrounds. Hiding behind political correctness is a cowardly thing to do.
•
you must repair the reputation of the police force so that men in blue will regain the trust of the citizens
If these steps are followed, UK will not only a safe country but also a great country once again.
