Dear Anne, if only you were right regarding voting, alas you are so wrong, if voting changed anything it would be banned.

We in the West think we have democracy, what a joke! Tony Blair a "supposedly" religious man changed the U.K. beyond all recognition, his ultra leftist views slated any objections to multi culture, we who objected to mass islamic immigration were labelled racists and bigots, hence his battle was won, no-one of any stature dared to state the obvious, meanwhile we live with his disastrous policies, while he and his greedy wife "Cherie Antoinette" aka Blair live life as multi millionaires, her living off the fat of human rights, defending any and all muslims aginst deportation (most of her clients arrived here illegally) might I add.

Yes I suppose there are alternatives, unfortunately not very savoury alternatives, we have the British National Party. In their favour they do understand what is happening regarding islam....but I would never vote B.N.P. they would eradicate all muslim extremists and so-called moderates, but they would not stop there, next it would be every other minority groups targeted.....I think you get the picture....if only we had a Geert Wilders!!!

Political correctness is entrenched so far into our society, including the once revered B.B.C. that is impossible to get away from. Here in the U.K. Christians are the enemy of the state. British airport worker sacked because she would not remove her crucifix, black registrar sacked because she refused to conduct same sex wedding ceremonies, (this surprised me, as she is black, and I truly hoped her stance would break the mould) Catholic adoption agencies closed down because they would not give children up for adoption to same sex couples, nurses sacked for wearing crucifixes, ah Anne the list goes on, too numerous to state all. Yet islam gets away with all it's intolerances.

Abu Hamza, the disgusting specimen of a human being languishing in a British prison, using the human rights laws to avoid extradition to the U.S. along with numerous others, whilst his wife and very large family are living in a large house supported by tax payers, I don't think muslim women are forced into work.

Whilst Tony Blair was in government, he insisted that it was the human right of asylum seekers to not only fetch their wife and children over to be housed by the state, but also their second and third wives and children, and any aunts uncles and grandparents too, in fact bring your neighbours, why not? the more the merrier, why that dreadful man converted to Catholicism and not islam is an utter and complete mystery.

So you see Anne, voting changes NOTHING, David Cameron might make token speeches to appease those who have woken up to islamists, as has Angela Merkel, but nothing has, or will change, the concept will remain, until of course the Anjem Choudris get their way and the black flag of islam flies at 10 Downing Street, and our children are left with the consequences.

Sorry if I seem very negative, living in the U.K. has made me this way, I genuinely fear, not just for myself but for all minorities, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists etc. Do you realise Jews are swarming out of Europe, anti-semitism is rising faster than you could imagine, a Jewish school been made bomb proof in London.....I despair! and yet all we here from lefties and islamists is islamophobia.
