It's offensive, but not illegal. Though I can see, in the poppy burning, elements that go beyond a dispicable action. There is definitely a subversive component.
But I do have problems with the concept of forced integration. There has to be another path, and it is not the one that your government seems to be following now. |
Not forced integration.
Stop encouraging separation, by supporting anything that's exclusive to race, or religion.
For example, stop producing every offical form being translated into umpteen different languages. This stops people from learning English.
Put the effort into promoting people to learn the language of the country they're living in, which would help them feel part of society as a whole.
The same with every organisations that are exclusively based on race/religion. Remove funding now. It doesn't achieve anything, other than being divise, and driving a greater wedge between people.
