Thread Name: English Tradition, part two
Subject: RE: English Tradition, part two
And so it should be! It's part of our heritage, and as such we should celebrate it. So many of our traditions are being eroded away, by the importation of so many people that couldn't care less about England as long as it houses & pays them for doing nothing, and the relentless pressure to become more European, American, multicultural,... anything but English!
For example, my local school actually isn't allowed to celebrate Christmas or Easter in case it offends someone, but does celebrate Diwali, Chanukah, and endless others. Now, I'm happy to have other culture's traditions celebrated, but in addition to, not instead of, our own! It's a very, very strange thing our government are trying to do...
