There's a simple fact that needs to be understood, people don't live along if they're TOO different.
This is not an opinion, but a truth that is supported by hundreds of statistics (see White Flight).

"Multiculturalism" doesn't exist in the UK. At first glance, you would have the illusion of a multicultural society, but if you looked at it more closely you would realise that what looked like a multicultural society is in fact the existence of several segregated mini Pakistan-mini India-mini Somalia.
The emergence of these is quite simple, once the number of unassimilated X becomes too important in an area, natives leave it because they don't feel like they're in Britain anymore. So a new Xistan-Xia is born.

Integration doesn't equal absolute assimilation, but if no assimilation of any kind is required to become British, except being able to speak English, then I guess that I'm a fully integrated British, thus the whole idea of being British loses all it's meaning. That might be a good prelude for a civil war.

Exactly people think these days that being ethnically British and British citizen is same thing. What is obviously not true.

Very interesting topic Cain0. But why does it sadden me to see topics like this raised only in internet forums and whispered conversation maybe after a beer or 2 in the pub... Because I feel the vast majority of Brits and just too scared to criticise this pathetic PC culture that the Labour government has created in the past decade. Scared of being branded a racist of course.

Seriously, I've never understood how people can make that argument with a straight face. The Daily Mail, Independent and even Telegraph carry anti-immigration stories on a regular basis. Every political party in the last election promised to cut immigration (though their policies on how to do differed). The good old "every one is scared to talk about immigration" line has been proven to be bullshit. There's so many articles listing the amount of colum space in news papers devoted to the issue, that it out weights almost every other domestic political issue, besides the obviously huge ones (cutting the decifit, Afganistan).

If everyone is scared to talk about it, why was it the most frequently discussed topic in the last elections debates?

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure I owe my health to a few skilled Pakistani doctors, I've had over the years. Maybe if the average Englishman would stop being chronically dependent on welfare and go to school and get a job, we wouldn't have such a problem.


And I agree with you. In fact the doctor I saw a couple of days ago was Indian or Pakistani. But even he was Polish or German I couldnt care less. That is the kind of people of that we need. High skilled workers/experts. This is the positive side of immigration as we are lucky to have these people. But what we also have is tons of completely skill-less people knocking on our borders and ending up living on welfare that you and I pay through our taxes. Those who do work are immediately competing with the less privileged members of our society, the poor, the uneducated who rely on such jobs.

Dont be so quick on judging our people as being lazy. Are you a student or have been? Do you know what kind of graduate unemployment there is at the moment? It is shocking. Have you not seen whats been happening to the job market since late 2008?

What average Englishman are you talking about? You look at your local chavs and you define our whole country?

Have you ever walked around Bradford? You seen those women walk around? It's an embarrassment.

Number 16 actually. Oliver is the most popular name this year(usually its Jack)

Op makes some slight points followed by complete lies


The only lie is your statement that Oliver is the most popular name.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8091798/Mohammed-the-nations-secret-favourite-name.html

Hope that helps to keep a truthful perspective.

I agree. Also, your no longer allowed to do the christmas play in schools because it may "offend" minority students. They are trying to change the name of christmas to "winter festival" in some places. WTF is this, I mean c'mon. Immigrants should adapt to our culture, not the other way around.

I don't mind the holidays from other cultures celebrated in my country, and I am happy to have them join in mine, but please, at least shut the hell up and deal with the fact that Christmas or whatever is celebrated there and they have Lent, or Kwanzaa etc.

what does Mohammed being the most popular baby name have to do with anything? (btw that includes all the variations of Mohammed, if you split them, then it doesn't come close) All that really shows is that variations of Mohammed are very popular within Muslim families, and that is because one of the main aims of a Muslim is to follow the prophet's example, and to many this includes through naming. To the non-Muslim population there isn't really an equivalent name.
