A decent society does not discriminate against particular groups on the basis of religion, gender, ethnic origin or age, and is dedicated to combating prejudice and discrimination. A decent society opposes vilification, hate mongering and violence. A decent society is one that encourages respect for difference, and avoids humiliating groups or individuals who are seen to be different. A decent society promotes acceptance and understanding between different cultural and ethnic groups and respects the language, culture and religion of minority groups, including indigenous peoples. A decent society accepts the need to promote access and equity for disadvantaged groups. In a decent society, we oppose intolerance and recognise the talents and values of the different cultural ethnic groups among us. A strong and viable society is considerate and has understanding and support for those less fortunate. A decent society recognises the importance of communication between all groups and seeks practical support for all groups in the common language of the land of residence, yet showing respect and understanding for those who are not fluent in it. We want to do all we can to ensure that Britain is, and remains, a decent society
