When in a country with different mainstream religious principles and traditions to your own, it is widely accepted that you respect the customs of the nation you are in. I believe most British people would not think of doing otherwise. Recent mass Iftar events in Trafalgar Square and large scale Eid prayers in Birmingham and elsewhere cut sharply against that principle. Britain is a tolerant nation, but that should never mean failing to defend our own traditions or allowing them to be dominated for fear of causing offence. We are a country with a Christian heritage. Our laws, institutions and national life have been shaped by that tradition over centuries. Our King is Head of the Church of England and has a duty as Defender of the Faith. Many like me take great pride in our identity and believe it should be protected. Mass prayers in iconic public locations by religions whose traditional interpretations conflict fundamentally with Western values such as equality for women, gay rights and democratic freedom do not accord with British values. Public displays of religion on this scale are not in keeping with that balance. They risk appearing as a show of dominance that excludes and divides.














Another shocking example of the oppression that anti-imperialist Muslims are supposedly suffering in Britain — a private iftar at Somerset House. To be fair having to spend time with Humza Yousaf and Leanne Mohamed is as bad as it gets.


Have you ever watched reality television show ‘Snog Marry Avoid’? I asked @grok to do a POD style makeunder, and dress Hannah Spencer in a simple white blouse and black pencil skirt, and smarten up her hair. Anyone who thinks her presentation is irrelevant should take a look. She dresses like a child for a reason. That concerns me.
