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 />
