Immigrants in UK to learn Western values

By Our Correspondent

LONDON, Oct 30: Foreign immigrants, who wish to become
British citizens, will have to learn about modern western
values, including tolerance of different ethnic groups,
unmarried couples and homosexuals.

The aim of the plan is to bridge the gap between immigrants
and the mainstream British society.

The government has appointed a team of experts to devise a
"Britishness" course that would explain how Britain had
changed since the 1950s, and portray the country as a
multicultural, democratic and tolerant society.

Under the new plan all immigrants will be provided with a
booklet translated into several languages about: "How to
live in the UK".

The asylum-seekers are likely to be told that in Britain
boys and girls are educated, forced marriages are
unacceptable and single mothers, unmarried couples and
homosexuals are protected from persecution.


In Holland, the government is working on a similar plan
where a college has been opened to instruct religious
leaders about Dutch concepts toward homosexuality and
women's rights.

err..what percentage of native Britishers actually exhibit
this degree of tolerence??..I am just curious...

Same things been going on in the US for years. I think its
just a way of only getting "good citizens" in and not
undesirable elements...

Up here about 2% of the population.

Everyone is a fucking bigot up here, so tense and stupid.
The North sucks.

Oh, I think this a splendid idea. You see, here in the UK we
are all tolerant and have love for all peoples. Its these
bloody immigrants who come in and create divisions between
people.

Hey flea it's the bitter that's warm, not the lager. Apart
from that, pretty spot on. So what's your point?
