Re: Bolton lead the way!
getting back to the thread just how far down has this country slipped? you cant fly the union flag in case of upset to others not born hear british born are fighting in other lands for the other side were did we go wrong we have housed and feed all from other nations healed their sick help any country with disaster funds helped the starving and yet we have food banks the church are profiting from payday loan companies? we had a royal wedding Olympics did anyone see a couple the wife in a burkha waving a union flag I never? we have religious leaders preaching hatred against our country and yet speak out and you are racist who are we anymore we welcome with an open hand and yet we get a fist in return. I think before people ask for a passport they put in for a race card were do I get mine from I would like to know Bolton should and is full of good people if they would only shake of the shackles that they have put on themselves and mix with british then the place might be all the better for it one flag one nation we are a kingdom but not a united one.jp

Re: Bolton lead the way!
I agree with you John, anyone mentions British and they are shouted down just in case we upset the minorities.
The leader of the Humanist Group has slated Cameron for stating his Christian beliefs as it might up set other religions.
No matter what people think this is basically a Christian country, and if stating your beliefs upsets other groups, then all I can say is the other religions, and atheists are the ones that are intolerant.

Re: Bolton lead the way!
As a nation we spend too much time worrying about other peoples feelings being hurt . I am a Christian fundamentalist who loves this country . In general we accept everyone's religion and sexuality , their rights and their freedoms . I don't mind homosexuality as long as it does not affect me , but why should we have Gay rights marches and every other presenter on TV a gay , I believe in God but TV gives as much time to atheists as evangelists . We don't want to upset people , time we started a movement that does not give a damn about rights , and declares we are a Christian , democracy

Re: Bolton lead the way!
It would appear that the people of Bolton dont care about upsetting other peoples feelings 74% of them were for it with 26% against.I suppose we can guess who they are.
Council vote, for 34 against 4 abstensions 11.
