Start As You Intend To Continue

Mr. Gordon Brown says that when he becomes prime minister he wants to give up the PM's historic right to select the Archbishop of Canterbury and other bishops of the Church of England.

At first, this seems something of a miracle. Here is a British government (and a Labour one at that) willing to give up power-- something that is on a par with the Sun coming up in the West. But on closer examination, it turns out to be something completely different. If Mr. Brown were really giving up the royal prerogative, he'd be giving it back to the person in whose name he does the selecting: Her Majesty the Queen. Instead, he is embarking on something far more radical:
Mr Brown wants his government to be seen as representing "all faiths and all cultures," and not tied significantly to the Church of England. His proposals raise the possibility that he might take steps to remove the right of bishops to take their seats in the House of Lords.
In other words, Mr. Brown isn't giving up the royal prerogative, he's taking the first step towards disestablishing the Anglican Church in favour of more of the poison of multiculturalism.

Apparently Mr. Brown's idea of continuity is to be as anti-British as his predecessor.

Gord proves once again that the greatest enemy a country has is the fool leading it. The Islamists might as well just pack it up and go home; its just a matter of time before Western leftists annihilate their own civilization.

Can I persuade you to post your arguments on the evils of multi-culturalism, instead of assuming that your readers accept them unspoken?

I'm a little worried that you will come across as a conspiracy theorist if you don't.
