    I think it`s pointless.

    For those who don`t wish to do us harm it`s unnecessary and for those who do wish to do us harm it`s meaningless.

    mp`s swear an oath of allegiance and look at the state of them.

    Just my view.

    Bored, popped over, find another thread about "the foreigners in our midst".

    Couldn't this have just been added to the Segregation thread someone on here started last week? <doh>

    I had to go to the thread just to requote this from its OP ffs...

    The report made 12 recommendations, including:
    1. A programme of projects to boost cohesion, such as local IT courses and sport activities for children
    2. Councils should regularly collect statistics on hate crime or deficiencies in English
    3. Government and councils should share their approaches to tackling segregation
    4. Schools should promote British values to help build integration, tolerance and citizenship
    5. A review of the "rights and obligations" of immigrants likely to settle in the UK
    6. New immigrants could have to swear "an oath of integration with British values and society"
    7. Funding for school projects that encourage children of different backgrounds to mix
    8. On top of English language classes for adults, special classes to tackle any "cultural barriers" to a person's employment prospects
    9. More funding for local English language classes and a review of whether courses are reaching people who need them
    10. Councils should investigate whether their housing policies help or hinder integration
    11. Better checks when children are removed from mainstream education
    12. New oath for public office-holders pledging "tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs"
    THIS is what needs to happen in a coordinated manner. Why not promote this instead of trying to play to the fears or Little Englanders with soundbites about Oaths which on their own won't work. That Sajid Javid bloke is a complete slimy tory ****. How the **** anyone can relate to him or believe anything he peddles is beyond me. Odious individual and someone who exemplifies perfectly the real disconnect between politician and the people, but cynical bastard puts out soundbites like this to try and "show" he's connected. Don't fall for it.

    What a waste of time, how about instilling some British values into the toe rags of our own, especially the track suit brigade hanging about outside of Gillbridge courts tossing *** ends and spitting chewing gum on the pavement.
    I really do despair every time I walk past there.

    As the core British value is freedom of speech then by definition if you have to give an oath before you can be employed, by definition you have not up help the values of the oath and hence can not be employed and if you don't give the oath you can not be employed.

    This is another silly idea along with the daily compulsory act of religion worship in schools, how can an act of worship be compulsory?

    Smacks of 1984 and the ministry of truth to me.

    Far better to teach values of respect to all regardless of colour or creed from primary school age..
