How to fix the monarchy

[threaded]

Ooh, it's like Saudi Arabia, innit. You can't go round with bare arms there, either.

Given the history of the Sikhs, I shouldn't worry one little bit about them being a threat to us in Britain. And tarring them with the 'all Asians are terrorists' is even more offensive than usual.

I know generalising is dangerous, but there are not many races that can say they have earned the right to be in England. Since the Normans there's been the Vikings / Danes (by conquest or purchase); the Scots, Welsh and Irish (who stood there in red coats and died for us); the Poles earned their place here (in WWII dying in our merchant ships and aircraft); the ANZACs (who stopped the German machine gun bullets for no good reason for us); and the Sikhs allowed us to keep the Jewel in the Crown and, therefore, the Empire. There are others, but you should get the point.

And if there's to be a punch up between anyone and the Sikhs, I'll be standing behind the Sikhs, holding their coats.

Danes/Vikings were before the Normans, King Canute of England was aka King Knud of Denmark, and a large section of his army used in the siege of London were Polish, but don't let historical accuracy get in the way of a good rant.

I have a question. Did any of the authors of the "New Testament" even meet Jesus?

I dont believe they did. I am positive that the author of the gospel of Matthew was not the apostle Matthew.

I think the earliest gospel was written abot 50 years after Jesus died?

It all adds to the requirement for faith!

Sums up forums in general, really, dunnit?
