And the answer would be a resounding YES.

These days many people can only find the time to complain, and the reason they do that is because we are losing British values!
that's why you should vote! you are concerned about living conditions and life style now??

I would vote on a reduction of immigrants, that could solve a lot of problems!I would even vote for Britain being based solely on Christian laws, but I believe that Britain's laws already cover everything else..... and anybody that breaks them should be punished or returned home to the country they came from!

If we start making the British way of life law though, I believe that people will go too far with it, as they already have with:-
Racism
Sexual equality
Human rights & many other issues.

Britain is British and anybody who doesn't follow our rules should be exiled from this country for good. No point in having a referendum on that though, there are already too many here who would oppose it!

The only person who mentioned a referendum on British ways of life, was you on your thread..... and I have already said that i wasn't going to vote on it!

Are you a bit bored today so looking for somebody to argue with?

It's a very profound and complex question you've asked isn't it?
Is there a clear cut answer anymore?

You can't turn back time.
The British national and religious character has been eroded into a mishmash of various cultures and diversity.
Of which, many would say ...is the new adapting and evolving face of British identity.
To enshrine the concept of a 'centuries ago' Britian, intact and undiluted, would presumably have been best asked post WW2?

Re: national referendum on law to enshrine British way of life

I might add, contrary to some of the replies ... that I don't necessarily see this thread as trying to stir up trouble.

It is a valid question ... probably just half a century too late.
