Armchair Bob Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Haven't heard the BBC news for a while, but they have just had a bit about schools being asked to teach British Values. Could anybody tell me what British Values are? And how do the differ from Values in, for example, Ireland, France, Germany or Sweden?

Rossy Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 British values are what UKIP and the Daily Telegraph tell us they are. No blacks please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Bob Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Speaking English? Getting pished? Summer holidays in Cornwall? Liking Carry On films? Seriously though, what is British Values? Suppose I shouldn't have asked this board for any considered responses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelk Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Feeling entitled to emigrate to other countries with good weather where you can only speak English and eat fry-ups, while at the same time not wanting anyone to immigrate to yours.

JECK Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 These posts just go to show that these values don't actually exist. "British values", sounds a bit important and you can imagine Brit idiots and no voters latching on to the phrase thinking, "British values, oh yes i very much stand for British values, stiff upper lip and all of that" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Stringing up a few natives to teach the others a lesson.Interning tens of thousands of women and children in concentration detention camps where many die of hunger and disease. Letting millions of your own "subjects" starve to death and pretend there's absolutely nothing the matter.Fawning over an unelected, inbred, ungrateful, useless "royal family" and putting them up in a number of large, luxurious residences.Turning a blind eye to bigotry and racism. After all, "it's just banter you stupid Jock ."Being taught "life lessons" in the shower rooms at Rugby, Eton and Harrow. Bumping off those people who dare to ask very awkward questions such as Victor Grayson, Hilda Murrell and Willie MacRae. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alibi Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 British values don't apply in Scotland. In fact what they mean when they say British values should be described as English values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 So are there Scottish Values?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 British values don't apply in Scotland. In fact what they mean when they say British values should be described as English values. No, the correct definition is those values that it is politically expedient to pretend you believe in when worried about losing a General Election.

Mark frae Crieff Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 To have values you have to believe you have something to value... I'm sorry but Britain doesn't do it for me.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
