Hey hey hey, you are entitled to your opinion on immigration, but your comments about Muslims are just downright racist! Whose we? The people who have nothing in common with Muslims, because if you are meaning the British public when you say we, then you are ignoring the large amount of British born Muslims…

Do some research on the gay parents thing – if you did deep enough (lets face it this stuff is not going to to get top spot on google) you’ll find that there is quite extensive recent reasearch which shows that those raised by gay/lesbian guardians do, in fact, suffer a lot of psychological problems and on many ocassions physical abuse, not to mention that they are more likely to turn out homosexual themselves. So your claim that it is a ‘backward thought’ has no grounds I’m afraid.

After much careful deliberation I’m now going to vote UKIP. Atleast there is still a chance that they won’t get intimidated into letting the will of a minority affect the lives of the rest of us and our children.

I don’t agree with world aid when our own country is suffering .. plus no foreigners should be allowed to take our jobs when we have high numbers unemployed we need to spend money on training British people instead of giving away benefits and jobs to foreigners. .. We need to stop Muslim asylum seekers being allowed in we don’t want a country over run with Muslims we have nothing in common with Muslims. . And it’s very dangerous how much there own in property and business in the uk and then show more support to ISIS than the UK British Army. .

How can anyone with a modicum on intelligence claim that the idea that marriage is between a man and a woman is “outdated bigotry”? This is how it has always been received in our culture, at least until the question of same sex marriage exploded onto the national scene in the last few years. There was no mandate for the change, no actual need for it, because civil partnerships gave gay couples exactly the same rights as married ones, and it caused needless antagonism to people who hold a traditional view of marriage.

It says a lot about our times that the kind of reactionary, vicious intolerance Mr Bloodworth has expressed can be written in a publication that identifies itself as ‘progressive’ and committed to equality. There is nothing egalitarian about despising those who are uneasy about changing something has been a foundation of our civilization for centuries. Neither is it ‘progressive’ to dismiss so blindly those who hold a cogent view of why we should not have made this change. Some of these arguments are neatly explained here, in an article from a US perspective:

I would actually love to see a coherent argument made for gay marriage. Half-baked insults and unquestioning groupthink don’t cut it, Mr Bloodworth.

I personally have no objection to immigrants coming to this country as long as they have a job to go to and not rely on state handouts housing and the same benefits given to UK subjects.AS FOR GAY PEOPLE THIS IS NOT A CHOICE PEOPLE ARE BORN THIS WAY SO WHY SHOULD THE LAW BE ALTERED IN ANY WAY TO PREVENT THEIR HAPPINESS AFTER ALL GAYS ARE HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO SOCIETY. ISN’T THIS WHAT WE WANT IN OUR COUNTRY to EVEN MENTION GAYS IN THE SAME BREATH AS PAEDOPHILES BEGGERS BELIEF AND CAN ONLY COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF A MISCHIEF MAKER WHO NEEDS TO GET THEIR FACTS STRAIGHT.

I’m more than aware how European parliament works, I’m also painfully aware that every decision made comes from Belgium, for example the street lighting has been approved by the Eurpoean commission in order to save the carbon foot print in Europe, this is a fact and came from the offices of our own local government. The area where i live has a growing population of Eastern Europeans which currently out number the UK born residents within one mile of the shopping parade. of thirty eight shops, twenty four are less than one year old and all have the label POLSKI SCHLEP on the livery, all of which are funded by grants handed down from the government, they actually brag about this and are proud enough to show you the paperwork, UK businesses are lucky to get an overdraft let alone a thirty thousand pound start up, additionally street crime and shop lifting is on the increase and so are arrests, none of these self proclaimed gypsies claim racism, they simply smile at the fact they’ve been caught and are released on bail to disappear within the community. statistically we have a problem and the tax payer can’t afford to keep paying the bill, and people like yourself are obviously oblivious to it, so where ever it is you live you are certainly not on the ground dealing with the reality of this problem, you need to remove your head from your plumage and open your eyes.
