Without describing the context of what he means by "Conform", I would suggest that speech is pretty meaningless.
To me it means when in Britain do as they do. i.e respect our culture, laws and traditions.

I didn't say that , i said (we keep being told stop being racist)

How many times on forums years ago did people say they should learn our ways or get out and others told us to stop being racist or ignorant... Yet now tony blair basically says its ok for us to feel that way , they should learn our ways or get out.
 
I find the comments on the "Have Your Say" area of the BBC site quite striking. There are people out there who feel very strongly about this subject, and I agree with some of the things being said. The burden should be upon immigrants to this country to accept and conform to our way of life, not for us to adapt ours around theirs so that we don't offend them.
 
Well Blair's managed to erode any feeling of a singular society this country may have had, along with culture, laws and traditions. Not a lot left to work with.

Bring on the cider & shell suits.
 
Thanks Basmic for making me laugh.

Agree that without actions the speech is meaningless. Believe any country including those in the EU are entitled to limit number of imigrants and enforce those who emigrate to follow the laws of their country and their cultures rather than attempt to convert it into their country/culture of origin.

No.

How is a doctor speaking in an indian accent for example any different to one speaking in a scottish accent which can both be difficult to understand?

How is speaking in a different accent non conformist?

He says conform to our society and traditions, not our accent.

This is exactly my view. And i think Blairs speech means a lot after all the political correctness that people blame this government for.
 
If I go to Italy on holiday, I want it to be 'Italy', not a cultural mix.


I agree with that , should be the same , this way This is england NOT bagdad or india! :mad:


The government are far more interested in pleasing non-Britain that native Britains.

So true

WOOOT, THAT'S RACIALIST ALRIGHT!.
 
I'm very very dispointed at the out come of this thread, everybody on here commended Australian PM John Howard for making that profound speech, now when Tony Blair trys to do a simular act nobody seems to give a hoot and we all just end up augueing over that stupid "Thats Racist" Anitmated gif which frankly I'm getting tired of as well. That's typical english though, we moan and moan and moan about something and when we get a step in the right direction nobody cares, instead we go off and try and find something else to moan about, becuase we are a nation of moaners.

Maybe because its taken him YEARS to say this , when MOST people have been saying it since the mid 1990's :mad: and we went ignored

Oh and believe me we do give a hoot , but what can we do about it? , we are run by a dictatorship
