Britain United Under One Law For All<br />

Britain has always welcomed people of whatever faith, nationality or creed<br />

who have wanted to make their home in this country, but a lack of vision<br />

for an integrated Britain has led to our society becoming more and more<br />

fragmented. <strong>UKIP</strong> will take integration as seriously as we have immigration,<br />

and we will not tolerate the intolerable.<br />

Over many years, the policy of ‘multiculturalism’<br />

has fragmented British society by allowing<br />

new migrants to Britain to behave in exactly<br />

the same way as they would if they were still<br />

in their countries of origin. Multiculturalism<br />

has prevented criticism of certain religious<br />

beliefs and cultural practices, even those the<br />

overwhelming majority of British people would<br />

consider repugnant, and which threaten rights<br />

and equalities established in Britain<br />

for decades.<br />

Nobody voted for multiculturalism, yet all of us are<br />

living with the results of it. It is generally those who<br />

have little interest in preserving British identity, or<br />

who are indeed hostile to the very idea of it, who<br />

champion multiculturalism most fiercely. They are<br />

vociferous in shutting down debate.<br />

<strong>UKIP</strong> stands for a country united under<br />

the same set of laws and values. We<br />

believe firmly that a multi-ethnic society<br />

can be a harmonious and successful<br />

one, but only if it is bound together by an<br />

over-arching attachment to Britain and<br />

British identity. In treating all practices<br />

and traditions as being of equal standing,<br />

however much they might offend our<br />

values and laws, our national leaders have<br />

made a grave error.<br />

<strong>UKIP</strong> will stand up for the equal rights of all<br />

people in Britain, and say we are proud of our<br />

country and its achievements, our values of<br />

free speech, democracy, independence, and<br />

patriotism. We will promote British values in our<br />

legal system, in our schools, and in our society.<br />

ONE LAW FOR ALL<br />

A society that can pick and choose what legal<br />

system it lives under gradually ceases to be a<br />

society at all.<br />

The growth of sharia councils is of great concern<br />

to the public, as is the apparent unwillingness of<br />

the political class to prevent them proliferating.<br />

<strong>UKIP</strong> will take action: we will establish a legal<br />

commission to draw up proposals to disband<br />

sharia councils.<br />

It is simple: there should be one law for all.<br />
