> It great to see Brits like your self in the UK fighting the good fight!

(big grin!) Cheers for that! I’m a Brit by birth. Born in Canada and a Kiwi by naturalization (3 passports)

> Obviously you are a Brit and upset at Muslims running your nation.

Yup! Too right — I’m upset at muslims running *any* nation. I live in New Zealand where we are all free to choose our own religion. Or choose not to. That is how it should be.

Now you get to watch what’s in store for you this time.

It's not just muslims. It's handing your country and culture and history over to people who don't value them.

Say, to people like Vineeta Gupta, head of children's dictionaries at Oxford University Press:

Nowadays, the environment has changed. We are also much more multicultural. People don't go to Church as often as before. Our understanding of religion is within multiculturalism.

There was a line in the 1984 movie I will always remember, “Beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”.

Newspeak begins in earnest.

Orwell was a prophet.

(GACK!) But but but she’s an Indian. What business has she got deciding the direction of the English language? She gets to do that on the day I get to decide the direction of Hindi.

> “Nowadays, the environment has changed. We are also much more multicultural. People don’t go to Church as often as before. Our understanding of religion is within multiculturalism.”

She ought to speak for herself. I understand religion within the Bible as God’s Word. Multiculturalism plays no part in that exchange.

Your historical ‘knowledge’ is shocking. Just shocking.

There are so many errors, distortions and outright lies in that post, I almost dont know where to start.
