Why are you playing silly games Ben you know what he meant give it a rest. He raises a valid point as to the increasing frustration and anger a growing number of white British feel (just making it easy so you don't play the same game with me) although no one cares so why worry about it. Also just to clarify I'm neither frustrated or angry as I only have a few more year's in the UK till I retire.

I don't see it as a game, far from it. It should be a serious discussion, with people willing to be clear and explicit in their views and points.

Implications, inference and 'you know what I mean' are games.

It has become almost taboo to talk about white people in anything but negative terms between the racism we're all supposedly infected with to the blame for every bad thing ever it's the wisest move not to discuss it openly.

Why are they angry? They've got their country back, haven't they? No one to do the low paid work any longer and a rapidly ageing population, all sorted.

Times and cultures change, nothing stands still no matter how much we want it to. The fact is most of the Empire chose to go their own way when given the chance.

You really are incapable of posting anything without having a dig at people over Brexit it's pathetic, I assume you'll be emigrating soon to get away from the awful half of society.

As you are alluding to Muslims in the UK, it is worth pointing out the irony that a large number of them would not be here if the UK had not invaded Pakistan, India, etc. :) Kind of funny really ..

No, it shouldn't. Which way do the altars in Christian churches in the UK face?

It's good that isn't the case in the UK then. The majority of people in the UK do happily co-exist here, including those that follow different religions.

Are there some that don't? Yes, but that's true of all cultures here too, and it's not illegal to choose your own path in the world usually.

As with anyone in the UK it should be possible and correct to do so to deal with any illegal behaviour using our laws and rules, without an incorrect assumption that the behaviour applies to everyone from the same background or religion.

Indeed, so I wanted to understand why this is apparently a problem

oh look, another thread that descends into the pit of racism :rolleyes:

If people want to learn about the 'wider' UK history, there's Google to look at

Re: Calls to make black, asian and minority ethnic history compulsory
 

I don't believe that any reputable school teaches their students that way - which is why the original point of Troy Deeny and the reason this thread is here was a call to add more history subjects to lessons that reflect that 'wider' UK history.

Re: Calls to make black, asian and minority ethnic history compulsory
 

No, Troy Deeney is yet another black footballer approaching the end of his career and now trying his hand at politics :p:
