Zahra29: Britain has always prided itself on its ability to "altering the fundamental" of just about everything, so I would be surprised if Darwin country refuses to change now I'd think, and a country that takes "In the beginning was the Word" as seriously as UK has, a "modified pledge" is similar to a modified code that makes computer function differently. As to "lose sight, or watering down its own", one just need go in the buildings where they worship to know they've not only watered, they'd almost completely eradicated or fully imbibed, take your pick, though I do confess to extreme exaggerations. Regardless, the sentiment is out there and a lot of work has been done in the last 50 years for me to not recognise its effect in enabling diverse people to live together relatively peacefully. Zahra29: Home ownership? You'd be surprised how many rather want to travel the world and earn an income abroad instead of being tied down to a mortgage, which I offer to show not everyone thinks alike. But even for home ownership, immigration is good, as landlords who own houses as opposed to homes, can rent them for more to immigrants than Brits on the dole. Fact is, Britain use to be 'no blacks no dogs no Irish', and you don't need a poll to see how far we've evolved. 1 Like

Goodenoch: It was well known right up to the coronation that Charles wanted to be styled King of the Faiths. His views haven't changed. That he was denied his choice - despite other changes the RF have made in recent years such as allowing him to marry a divorcee - shows that there are certain red lines that even the King would struggle to change. Which is a good thing. It shows that the institution is bigger than one individual. And yes, we'll wait and see how it turns out. William's coronation will take place in our lifetime. |

Zahra29: No it isn't. Extremely? Not at all. It does not feel like that at all. Has anyone actually polled 1st generation Nigerian immigrants to the UK? Feels like you may just be repeating right wing talking points 4 Likes |

Zahra29: Will it now? Only if he starts paying his taxes. I hear that crown they wore on Wednesday cost 1 billion pounds. Obscene really. |

budaatum: My family lived in the UK during the Windrush era when "no blacks, no dogs, no Irish" and other forms of overt racism was common. So I completely agree and celebrate that the UK has changed for the better and is still evolving. However you are conflating different points here. You claimed that Charles's title had changed to Defender of the Faiths. I challenged and corrected this point as the age- old title of Defender of the Faith still stands, and my view is that it is unlikely to change. |

missjekyll: There are Republicans in the UK who have been advocating for donkeys years for the abolishment of the Monarchy. Still here we are. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 8:09pm On Jul 21 |
missjekyll: It may not feel like that to you. But many others, including the last PM of the UK and Badenoch who is a 1st gen Nigerian immigrant, would beg to differ. |

justwise: The majority seems split finely between those who'd vote Trump even if he killed their parents and those who'd rather vote a stone over Trump. Yes, Biden had to resign so what's left of those in the middle don't tilt right. At this stage, most top democrats would have reasonably equal chances against Trump. |

Zahra29: Badenoch is definitely not a 1st generation immigrant. She is 2nd generation.much like you,I suppose. Our experiences are not the same and we can only really speak to our experiences and thats okay. While it feels inclusive to you, it doesn't to me. It feels even worse after 2020 |

jedisco: Time will tell, Dems will throw everything behind Kamala now because they got no choice, she has now till Nov to win those at the middle. Trump need to be worried about the next debate, Kamala will make a mess of him |

justwise: I see. Is this the new parliamentarian excuse? Will this be a good excuse when Emperor Trump crowns himself and jails all of them? I don't think it is I m literally biting my fingers in anxiety |

justwise: Justwise, stop making statements anyhow based on emotion (hatred of a person)! Be objective always. It really says a lots about your person. Just look at the vacuous statement you are making. I expect you to know that it would be an icy day in hell before a US president or past president or a potential 2nd term president ever going to jail. You should also have known that Trump is a business magnate who never needed to be POTUS to be popular. Imagine saying 'talkative' Trump would be home out of public view ![]() BABA, GROW UP!!! |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by toughest007: 9:34pm On Jul 21 |
Zahra29: Leave the fellow alone, he has no objective views to offer... Twisting facts that are visible to the blind. |

Zahra29: What is the primary driver to this submission? I want to believe this is based on Biden stepping down for Kamala Harris. I had done my analysis way back and concluded that Trump is getting back into the WH. Saying he's going to jail and out of sight is child's talk! |

Treadway: I just dey reply that babe wey talk say 'now Dems will throw everything behind Kamala' Which play? Who be Kamala? Don't even compare Kamala to Hillary. You are correct with the highlighted. No going back to Trump back in the WH. I have found it silly how folks here talk out of emotion without much to facts. Almost everyone here wants to sound politically correct and woke with facts derived from emotion and intent to just blindly remove themselves from facts presented to them. I'm saying the obvious fact (likewise you) that Trump is heading to the WH, and some blokes here are not smart enough to see it, but rather quick to imply that stating the obvious means one likes Trump and hates Biden et al. |

toughest007:I’m a realist like you and have also come to the same conclusion as highlighted above. Save yourself the stress of stressing on the obvious. Some debates are not worth the effort. November is not too far along we will see who is going to stop Trump from the WH. Unless another assassination attempt |

Zahra29: Actually, I am suggesting that the liberal education dished to children till they hit 16 plus every other measure taken to ensure people live in harmony and respect each other including the foresight of the monarch to declare some 50 years ago that he will defend all faiths has effected change in the racial attitude of the society. |

justwise: You see what reading and consuming propaganda does to one out of hatred. You don't even know what 'convicted felon' really means. If you do, you'd know it doesn't have any place in the discuss. Yes, there are US presidents and presidential candidates worse by all metrics than Trump. Go and educate yourself and stop blabbing what's above your grasp. Grow up and stop embarrassing yourself. Most of your statements here diminishes your moniker. 1 Like |

wallg123: Just stating the obvious based solely on facts. I don't need to like or hate a person to state it exactly the way it is. I am mature enough to distinguish propaganda from reality. See eh, many years of consuming western propaganda has really done loads of damages to folks here. |
