Go down town and we now see a fair mix of people and if we keep our ears open we can hear many languages on the street. The hospitals are a big example of mixed culture from porters to brain surgeons ,(what would we do without them ) . So in conclusion putting daft religion aside ( my opinion sorry ) We now seem to be the best Country World wide for tolerance and are indeed the new Rainbow Nation . The split in society is now rich vs poor. That covers all demographic groups. The poor seem to be resented more than they are helped, particularly in the class riddled UK. You only have to look on this forum to see the bile that is poured on anyone in this country who requires benefits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I respect anyones right to behave as they wish. A gay couple have described their shock at being refused a viewing and the chance to buy a house in south London because of their sexuality. "We're sorry if we seem intrusive, but we just want to make clear that we would be unwilling for two men in a partnership to view or buy our house. As it is contrary to the gracious teaching in God's Word, the Holy Bible, e.g. Romans 1:24-28 and Jude (King James Version)." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-60115606 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
