Britain Needs A Leader Like This!










Prime Minister John Howard - Australia




Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.

Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'

'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'


'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'


'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'


'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'


'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,


'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'


'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.'

Richard,
He is no longer Prime Minister.
The vast majority of Australians voted him out at the last election.
One of the main reasons was his close ties to Bush and the Iraq war.

Thanks I now realise that

It was the message that really spurred me on

I've always believed that whatever country you live in abide in their culture and laws

Does anyone disagree?????????????

Love your joke and understood but his thoughts would be great coming from a British PM.

Send him to the U.K, i would vote for him, this country is being over run,i just can't wait to live in LOS and back heal the not so great britain the nanny state thats so worried about political correctness,lets in so many migrants totaly unchecked and un restricted the british government admits it does not know how many people are in the country.Australia and Thailand both belive in protecting there own country and people good on um.I belive many people are discontented with this situation,once the countrys have been changed they are changed for ever i cant and dont want to imagine wot they will be like in 20 years.The best place i have ever been to is Perth WA if you have been there you will understand why they want to protect there beautifull country,some people may look at these opinions as racist or old fashoned,but i belive you should protect you identity it is your right.

Nevets, I know what was posted was meant to be a joke, but there is also a lot of people living in Australia that would agree 100% with what was in the original post.

Not so bad on the West Coast, but especially in Sydney/Melbourne there is big problems with certain Middle Eastern/Asian races with gang fights, running drugs, protection, car rebirth rings etc to name a few things.

In a way is a much smaller way than it is happening in the UK, but allowed to keep going will grow into as bigger problem as it is over there.

There are certian areas in Sydney and Melbourne where there are no English signs on the shops, they are all in the language of the races that seem to have taken over certain area.

Not so much with the younger people but there are a lot of older Australian's here that have exactly the views that was posted by the OP. They are fed up with getting mugged, houses robbed, cars stolen or general intimidation that happens on a daily basis.

If John Howard had actually made a statement similar to the OP, I am sure he would still be PM in Australia

I have been to Perth 4 times and stayed in Woodvale wot a lovely place, i have even met Geoff Gallop the x minister of westen australia i can totally understand where you are coming from, but hay.. in Australia you can have more of an opinion than you can in the U.K without being branded a rasist.

Kendo, had many a drink in the Moon & Sixpence. I live about 2 suburbs away from there towards the city (10 mins in a cab)

Chelsea, know the Moon,well used to drink in there and the public bar around the back, the moons a great pub, was staying on Trappers drive, 4 times for a month, i know Perth farely well awsome place also used to go to the Kingsley tavern and the OBH.Would hate to think your beautifull city will go the same way as here in Blighty. Would love to have a beer with you in HH some time and reminisce about Perth and my adventures i.e me and my mate drove a road train to Parabado and Tom Price 1800 km up WA.

[spitfire]

Agree with you totally Richard, many a true word there in the original post.

Pitty the UK didn't do a bit more of that, might have saved it, then so many of us would not have to leave to seek better pasture here and other places.

Fully support the Ozzy attitude as they have seen Europe go down the toilet in such a short space of time.
