it’s traditions, customs and its Christian religion?

Ah, yes, the good old Christian traditions. The Crusades. The
Spanish Inquisition. The persecution of the Cathars. Bloody
Mary. Burning heretics at the stake. The English Civil War. The
Covenanting wars. Sectarian violence in Ireland and elsewhere.
Warring football supporters. Bizarre and extreme sects. Forcible
'conversion' of heathens leading to wholesale destruction of
traditions and customs in large swathes of Africa, America,
Australia and Asia. Infinite variations on the theme of
suppression or oppression of one flavour of Christianity by
adherents of a different flavour. Killjoy puritans.
Discrimination against people on religious grounds. All worthy,
historic traditional Christian customs.
And just by the way, if you are to be taken seriously as an
upholder of tradition and customs, you need to take some lessons
on the traditional, customary and correct placing of the
apostrophe in good old UK English.
Not such a fine day here today. Bit of traditional and customary
cloud cover but at least it's fair and the wind is light.

It's great to see the resident bigot being so successfully verbally trashed. Well done Asha and Anne. Absolutely brilliant put downs, and so true.

They live here because they are hypocrites
I would have thought, from my many posts on USW, that I love living where I do.
Before someone suggests that's because I live well away from ethnic minorities I should point out that apart from living at various addresses in London for 7 years, back in dear old Cornwall:-
My immediate neighbour is half Bangladeshi, next to him are 2 Germans who live here around 6 months. Immediately opposite are 4 flats, 2 of which are occupied by Poles, who have a boat called King Bob (after Bob Marley) which I allow them to park in the road to left, and my daughter is taken out by a carer who is afro caribbean. Also we are invaded by all cultures (loads of Chinese these days) in the summer, and the bars seemed large manned by South Africans. I rather enjoy a mix of different types of people.
All cultures have downsides, religious fanatics are a Bad Thing whatever the religion. I think Anne Bs put down pointed that out brilliantly.
Fortunately, most people aren't bitter & bigoted.
