I didn’t give that view whatsoever though despite you claiming it numerous times. The sad fact is your generation have pulled the drawbridge up on subsequent generations and we desperately need more immigrants to fuel the economy and pay for your pensions and care.

We need more 4-star hotels to put everyone in

Although the wind isnt blowing it is worth remembering the energy it isnt generating is 9 times cheaper than the energy that is.

Would’ve thought that was the case a while ago. How many people go to church even once a year?

Most people calling themselves Christian don’t go to church regularly if at all. The interesting thing about this is that over half the population don’t identify at all with Christianity. Massive fall from 2011 census, when 59.3% ticked Christian, to 46.2% now. Almost all accounted for by a corresponding rise in people who said they had ‘no religion’, which presumably covers both atheists and agnostics. Muslims rise to 6.5% from 4.9%, much fewer than the impression given by some media outlets.

Personally, speaking as a non practising Christian, it doesn't bother me that Christians have dropped below 50% so long as religions that make up the rest of the UK, have basically the same values. I think Jews, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists do. Islamists have something to prove in my eyes because of the regularity of militarism we see in some sections of that community. Fortunately they make up only 5% of the population, but they're the fastest growing religion.

Lucky we left the EU or we’d have freedom of movement with Turkey.
 
Most religions are pretty ****, in my opinion, and I always count myself as not believing in any of it as it’s just another way of asserting some control over people.
However, it does seem that Christians are allowed to be mocked without any comeback whatsoever....but if the same was done to other religions then you’d be accused of the worst kind of “phobia” known to man, and could quite literally lose your head.......it’s a strange world we live in

Don't Christians believe in "turn the other cheek" ? Fair game if they're not prepared to put up a fight for their imaginary friend
