Margaret , you got it in one , sorry we all thought different in those days but it seems history is proving (sp?) him right , the "west' is now being forced to give up its culture/lifestyle in the name of what ? nothing I or most of my generation , which I think includes you would have thought would ever happen , there was never any problem/conflict when the first 'wave ' of immigrants moved into the area , same as the Poles after WW2 they adapted to the local customs without demanding special rights , never a problem with the Italian family across the street or the German woman who lived round the corner and had married a local tommy after the British occupation of Hamburg and had kids who I went to school with. But it seems to me a "mass instant influx" and the creation of communities (ghettos) without absortion into local areas creates problems ... sorry just my thoughts .
agree or disagree its up to you ... thanks
