Remember what we are

I write in support of T Morgan's comments on whether Fiona Bruce should be allowed to wear her cross when presenting the news. There is now also the ridiculous situation of a British Airways check-in worker being banned from wearing her cross.

This lady apparently is a committed Christian and plans to take legal action against the company. More power to her elbow, I say.

I am a 73-year-old law-abiding, practising Christian, minding my

own business and maintaining the "live and let live" attitude I was brought up with.

But I too am now sick and tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture, then having to tolerate the rantings of the "politically correct brigade", whoever they are, dictating to us what we will and will not do.

This is England! Our country's flag incorporates those of St George, St Patrick and St Andrew, all of which are crosses.

The freedom to practice the religion or our choice, which we all enjoy, is a freedom fought and died for, and I applaud the fact that the people who have chosen to settle here can freely practice their faith.

It's clear that the PC brigade have forgotten that this is a Christian country. We, the indigenous population, have not forgotten and we have no intention of changing this fact. Anyone who does not like this knows exactly what they can do.

Incidentally, the particular crucifix around my neck has been there for 35 years. I sleep with it, bathe with it and it will stay there till I draw my last breath, then it is my wish that I am buried with it.
