In less than one generation the Monarchy will be replaced with an Imam.
The UK is done and they did it to themselves.

Britain is a modern, multicultural, multifaith society There will be a reaction with young people moving toward religion again, likely Islam.

Oxford University Press has removed words like "aisle", "bishop", "chapel", "empire" and "monarch" from its Junior Dictionary and replaced them with words like "blog", "broadband" and "celebrity".Dumb 'em down.

Let's go all Ann Coulter on them. Invade, kill their leaders, convert them to Christianity.
It's where they all *started* anyway.

When a Muslim says “death to the infidels”, the British boys and girls will think they are talking about head lice.

Uh don’t those words still exist? So this must be part of and effort to cleanse the language of these evil words.

But academics and head teachers said that the changes to the 10,000 word Junior Dictionary could mean that children lose touch with Britain's heritage. Of course, the distinguished educators will not do the one thing that would really get the attention of Oxford University Press:
Not purchase the book and strike it from the list of books required for use in public and private schools.

Modern Britain doesn’t have any aisles?
Where do people walk?
Do they just climb over the seats?
And they don’t have Bishops either?
