Yes James it shows that we are a very tolerant country, but out of the various religions mentioned in full or in part above, only one was responsible for hijacking planes, suicide bombs, blowing up children at a concert, so one has to keep things in a proper or perceived perspective

Re: channel crossings
Well maybe if the west kept their nose out of the middle east, people like Bush, Blair, Cameron and others who created rigme change. It certainly looks like the state of Israel is intent on seizing more and more Palestinian lands. What are these people supposed to do sit back and roll over.
You mention suicide bombings, tell me does the tolerant country we live in supply Saudi Arabia with bombs to kill women & children in the Yemen?
So one guy who has been radicalised straps an explosive device to himself and murders innocent children and another guy gets in a War plane and does the same thing? Why is Saudi Arabia at war with the Yemen and not Iran?
As said if the west kept their nose out of those regions maybe those who attack placdes in UK and other countries would not have an axe grind.
Israel accuse the Palestinians of terrorist attacks , Israel is the agressor in that region of the world and it has the backing of many western governments.
The West & Russia do not want peace on any fronts, to many people are making £/$/€ billions so keep the pots boiling and the money pouring into wealthy mens pockets. Why is it that those who hold the power in the UK are nearly all extremly wealthy individuals. Yes these people certainly have the best interests of the UK citizens at heart.

If ever you think you will change the system, you certainly have a lot of drum banging to do, looks like you need to devote the rest of your life to it James, me ?, not enough time left in this world to worry about it now.

Re: channel crossings
The migrants are kicking up about having to share a room, bloody hell, in the early days at sea 4-6 to a cabin. A lot of these people were sleeping under plastic sheeting before they got here, there's no doubt they have heard how bloody soft we are in this country.

Keith, I know fine well that no matter what my views are things will never change, greed is sadly part of human nature. Please do not think that I condone any of these attacks by extremists be it here or elsewhere.
