Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

In the light of recent events where a fanatical bunch of no-marks have barracked our troops during a welcome home parade at Luton, is it not time that we re-evaluated our supposedly tolerant approach to the policies of multicultereralism that recent governments have hammered us with.
:behead::behead::behead:

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

oooh toughy. Its that line between freedom of expression social unrest.

I guess it depends a lot on the individual. I believe there are a small group of "pc" people who try to paint everything with a broad brush, and try to make every situation fit within it and then enforce this on everyone else. I dont think this is possible.

For example were the IRA freedom fighters or terrorists ? If they were terrorists then werent the French resistance in 1940s ?

What if the Nazis held a rally ? Should they be allowed to ? What about the BNP. If the BNP cant then why should any other political party ?

I generally have a rule of thumb which says believe in what you want to believe in as long as it doesnt affect me or you try to force it on me. Have respect for me and my opinions and I`ll respect yours. What I think is missing from certain people in this country is that respect for others, and at that point (if it was me) I`d politely kick them out of the country regardless of origin. Well not politely then, but they`d still be out.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I gave this some thought when reading the thread about the protesters in Luton ... without going into too much detail, I don't think that multi-culturalism will work all that well in England ... (this is an outsider's point of view, I might add) ... it works in Canada, because all of us here, apart from the First Nations are from somewhere else; and it works in the US for the same reasons ... President Obama, QED. But in England, about 90% or so of the population are English, and have been for centuries ... In a sense, they are First Nations; and I think that for many, immigrants will always be seen as intruders ... unless, of course, they come to England to be English. In another thread, Cashman mentioned that you don't go to another country, Canada for example, in order to remain English. If you go to a country that is willing to adopt you, then, it only makes sense that you adopt that country as your own, warts and all.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I agree eric, and thank you for saving me all that typing! :D

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I have never agreed with multiculturalism as a "policy". In most Societies those from different cultures have been accepted on condition that they assimilated, primarily, into the culture that prevailed and worked for its good while adding to it the best from their own backgrounds.

This even worked in Great Britain up to the middle of the 20th century. For several centuries we had immigrants - French, Irish, Jewish, Chinese and, after WW2, some Poles and a little later Hungarians. Those people integrated with the natives, learned the language, fitted in but enriched the native culture with some aspects of their own. Most importantly they wanted to be loyal to Britain and all it stood for.

The multiculturalism that is so often advocated now is very, very wrong. Different ethnics are positively encouraged to follow their own paths, just as if they were in their land of origin, living and acting seperately from the rest, and that is, for want of a better word, apartheid. It is building great resentment on all sides and it will lead to much worse than the appalling demonstrations we've seen in the last few days. We should be saying, "One Nation, one culture."

Re: Multicultural Britain - A No,No?
 

The only problem with this multiculteralism is that its all one way, we have to fall in line with every body else's cultures at the cost to our own. It used to be a well used phrase "A Englishman's Home is his Castle" but not anymore. Now we have to kowtow to every Tom, Dick and Ahmed that come to our shores and if there's anything left we are told to kiss the back side of our unelected European Masters. I find myself watching the news every day and making a perfect impression of Winston Churchill, who incidentally may well be spinning in is grave at what has become today's Britain:(:(:(:(:(

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

To the 4 people in this thread (so far)

How has multiculteralism adversly effected you personally?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

When in Rome .....

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

i agree it does need re-evaluing. nowt against anyone who comes here n adapts to british laws/customs etc, but that scum at luton certainly do not.:(

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

well its obvious to anyone, if people be-having like those scum at Luton, don't "Personally" make yer blood boil, perhaps you should join em?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Me? hey I only asked how multiculteralism adversly effected you personally.. It was just a question.. It wasnt even about luton or anything... Sorry it upset you so :(

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

aint upset me K-P, just asking a question like you.:D;)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Backpeddling again cashy? :)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Hasn't affected me negatively at all ... but the question seems to be, "is multi-culturalism right for England"?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I was wondering why poeple are getting upset at the thought when it doesnt even effect them..

Personally I am 100% for multi-culturalism in any country. I don't believe any human being should be restricted based on skin colour or birth place.

I was told many years ago that if this country threw out all the none english and the rest of the world sent back the english.. we wouldnt be able to cope. we wouldn't have enough room.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I've got two close friends.

Tina the Gordie, and Frances the Glaswegian.

The fact that Tina is Jewish and Frances is Chinese is incidental.

Both come from familes that have been fully integrated into their respective communities for well over a hundred years, and means they consider British through and through, yet they are still pround of their cultural identity. They just see it as secondary to who they actually are.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I've no idea why people are getting upset ... just as I have no real clear idea of what "multi-culturism" actually is ... other than a buzz word, casually thrown around, with the assumption that it is somehow "good", and that to question it is to identify oneself as somehow reactionary at best, and bigotted at worst.

There is a good argument to make that Great Britain has always been multi-cultural. Unless someone wants to argue that the Scots, the Welsh, the Irish, and all the regions (north, south, midlands, Yorkshire, Lancashire, the north east etc. etc.) don't have distinct cultures. Perhaps we should not be using this almost meaningless term, and be talking about how an already diverse society should adjust to immigrants. Should immigrants from, say Poland, come to England and continue to be uniquely Polish? Should they be allowed to take all that England (or Britain) has to offer without making any adjustments to conform to what is already established, and has been for centuries?

In Canada, we don't really have that problem ... we are all immigrants (or, according to my First Nations' friends, settlers) ... our culture is multi-culture. Our Govenor General is an Haitian immigrant ... the latest Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan was a Lebanese immigrant; his family arrived in Canada only nine years ago. Quebec is officially a "distinct society" within Canada. We need immigrants in order to grow ... you guys don't. There has always been a lot of talk here about a "Canadian identity": in other words, there is an on-going struggle to define ourselves as a nation. Brits don't have that problem, or shouldn't have, they already have a national identity, one which has developed over the centuries.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I agree, multi-culturalism is a meaningless term when used in this context.

You could have two old dears of the same genetic background. One an opera attending Dowager, and the other a bingo playing char lady. They aren't going to share much of a cultural identity.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I think that what we are discovering is that if one looks at buzz words and phrases closely enough, we find that they are essentially meaningless; and that they are no substiute for serious analyses and rational solutions ... they are terms used by people too lazy to think. Problem is that these terms, as they stagger aimlessly around, aquire a lot of freight which they are not really capable of carrying. For some reason, "Animal Farm" comes to mind.:confused:

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I think in this case the phrase should be multi-ethnic, rather than cultural, but that's probably deemed as offensive, but it certainly makes more sense to me.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Multiculteralism can only work if the people who come to live here, like and respect us for who we are, and what we stand for. If they basically want to dominate, oppress or change us towards their beliefs or lifestyle ideals as indoctrined from their own countries, then it quite simply cannot ever work. We can all be different, and have varrying thoughts and values, however we have to value our Country and what it stands for. The more diverse we get, the more we stand to lose a common national identity, its not rocket science is it ?. As we think about the welcome home that certain sections of our community gave some of our soldiers recently, one begins to question what things would be like here if we get to a close on 50/50 ratio of Indigenous British and other Ethnic groups. Would these people fight for Britain for example, particularily if it came to be against countries they or their relatives formerly came from. If they would'nt then where would that leave us as a nation. Very very vunerable is the answer really. I always recall the former Cricketer and Pakistani politician Imran Khan saying during a debate, that he hopes the West wake up to whats ahead, and not to underestimate the power and influence of Islam. I took what he said quite lightly at the time. These days i'm thinking about it more and more!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

At least you stopped short of "multi-racial":eek:;)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

So this really isn't about multi-culturalism is it. It's about Islam, which in no way shape or form is "ethnic". And it's not really a question of "we can all be different"; "can" doesn't come into it; for we are all different. Rather than pussy foot around, why not come out with it and discuss, openly, the threat that Islam poses to the whole Western World, not only Britiain?

Concerning what Imran Khan said, I happen to agree with him; and I have made that point several times on this forum, particularly arguing that there are significant and probably irreconcilable differences in the ways that western societies developed and those forces which created Isalmic states.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I don't make a habit of repeating myself but, on this occasion, I will say again there is a vast difference between the enhancement diverse cultures can bring to an established way of life and the positive reinforcement of "seperateness". Multiculturalism, as promoted in this country, breeds isolationism among creeds/factions. Emphasis should be placed on working for the common good of the whole country before any other consideration.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Say that again.:D

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

That again. :)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

All religions have evil side effects - but Islam seems to have more than most.
It is about time that the truth about Roswell was revealed so that people will realise that all religions are primitive myths:hidewall:

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Very true, as was what you posted earlier, about the Chinese and Jewish people who've happily been assimilated into this country's fabric for many a long year, with little or no resentment from the indigenous population, and yet they've retained their own cultural identities...without a load of interference from the busy body brigade.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

And the jews made it into the mainstream with everything stacked against them ... York, 1190, comes to mind ....

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Possibly the largest multi-cultural nation in the world is the USA..they have had problems but more past than present..Nazi Germany showed us what the alternatives are...and the saying "when in Rome" don't seem to apply to the British ...the British abroad have kept thier own culture...apart from Tarzan we did'nt suddenly take up wearing leapard skins and shrinking heads when we invaded Africa!

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Ye, but we dont wear bearskins or fancy dress. ;)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

But this is not about Brits abroad Mancie.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I was saying that the "when in Rome" stuff is often quoted on here..but has never applied to the British.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

This is what the members choose to comment on, unless the Mods think otherwise?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

the usa has problems now, with nazi brigades etc, had major problems not too far back with the Klan,but all that is irrelevant, to whats going on in this country at the moment, problems or not, the yanks have never treated these people like "Noddy In Toyland" they tend not to tolerate like the lemons here.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

When saying "these people" Cashy I assume you mean the protesters at Luton? but that incident by a very few does not go to say we should start biulding barracades ...there has to be a line drawn when a foreign culture attempts to manipulate custome and laws to force their own standards on us agreed..\i reckon the Klan in America is more of a racial problem than cultural and that maybe something we sometimes get mixed up.. culture not race..apart from that I can't see any alternative other than accept a multicultural society...we already have one!

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

that comment i agree with completely, but the government should get off the pot n sort these people out good style.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I have tonight watched a video clip of Afghan Nationals in Calais trying by whatever means to get into the UK to claim political asylum and reside in a safe haven.
France are in the EEU but they are considering setting up transit camps for these people who I feel sure the UK does not want....why do France not deport them or allow asylum.
Are we a soft touch? It would be rather interesting to hear from elected councillors and political gurus on this subject?

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Migrants try to enter UK from Calais

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Watching that clip I get the impression that the French have a bigger problem than here.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

the french are helping get here in my eyes, providing em with soup kitchens n a camp, until they can jump in the back of a lorry n get the driver prosecuted if caught wi em.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I think those colonial ideas died out when the sun set on the British Empire.

Apart from a few places in Spain, which have enclaves of immigrants from quite a few northern European countries, and therefore stick in their own communities, most Brits who emigrate now have to assimilate in whichever country they've decided to move to. Be it Australia, Canada or Dubai. They adapt to the cultural idenity of their host country, but are still proud of their British roots.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

theres a world of difference between keeping yer own culture n trying to IMPOSE it on the nationals, this minority cos thats what they are, are doing no good what so ever fer the ordinary moslems that just wanna get on wi life.:(

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I don't blame the French... to be honest I would like to see a video of illegal immagrants trying to jump on lorries in Dover bound for France!..maybe it will happen soon. ;)

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

never happen mancie i reckon, too many sweeteners here.:(

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

That's very true. Most of the Muslims I know are content living in the community.

Happily it's only a minority, much like other religious minorities, who likewise try to force their beliefs on you, that are trying to attack and change the democrcy we enjoy in Britain.

I'll fight that small minority until I breathe my last breath.

I'd rather die doing that than for them to win, and for me to be strung up in some football stadium.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Well seems that way.. but I thought any sweeteners were applied to the whole of the EU?... do illegal immagrants get more here than the rest of the EU?.. or is it just the fact that Britian is more attractive to these people because of our self proclaimed nation of freedom and tolerance?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

They do already....but sadly they come back when they've bought enough booze to bring back and flog.:D

'According to the Red Cross, barely 1-2% apply for asylum in France. For the rest, Britain is Eldorado, where the streets are paved with gold'

'What, then, is the attraction? First, unlike in France or Germany, refugees who reach Britain instantly acquire the effective status of asylum seeker. While they wait for their cases to be examined, a lengthy process that gives them every chance to disappear, they are housed and fed and given £35 a week, including £25 in vouchers to be exchanged in the shops.
Then, after six months in the country, they can apply for a work permit. But they can easily find work without a permit, because the black economy in Britain is worth some £80bn a year - four times the size of France's. There is no penalty for an employer who hires an illegal immigrant.'

'Ultimately, only one in 40 illegal immigrants to Britain is repatriated.
Better treatment aside, perhaps the most appealing aspect of life in Britain is its lack of that continental institution, the national identity card. In Britain, nobody has the right to ask you for your papers unless they suspect you of having committed an offence. You can live and work in Britain without the constant fear of a tap on the shoulder.'

Why refugees prefer Britain to France | World news | guardian.co.uk

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

well one things for sure the BNP do not have a multicutural policy for Britain.. before they evolved from the NF they were more about the race/colour in Britian..these days hopefuly most people see hardly any cutural difference between black,white,asian etc so it boils down to religion and very different standards.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

How can you disappear when you get £35 +£25 from the Government?..are you saying they still get this payment?.. if so then I can't see how they are not tracked..the mexican geezer did not get the status of asylum..

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I'm not saying, the Guardian is.

Though if people disappear to work illegally they won't be getting benefits, and so won't be traceable.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Soz for the edit..but I reckon the mainland of Europe have a bigger problem with Immagrants than we do... that don't make it better here but I do have the inkling that we do proclaim ourselves as the Nation of tolerance and a refuge for all ..... do you think we should cahnge our stance?

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

well i certainly think we should.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

All of the European Union live by the same rules :D allegedly.Trouble is we stick by them and the rest of Europe pick and choose. The bits that they like they keep and the ones they don't they ignore.

They could well be right.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

I do not believe we are the laughing stock of europe... there is someway that we seem to volunteer to put ourselves down... it maybe time to think of the whole country as a force in europe and the rest of the world..but the dread brigade like to sit on the past and talk themselves into a rotten Britian...according to most posts on here we are done..beaten... but then you are coffin dodgers!

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

I agree with some of what you say .... but the coffin dodgers aren't the threat .... think about it, we all know what the threat is; and I think that is the point of the whole thread.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Yes the problem is the way that Islam appears to allow for the growth of extreamists, and because they basically try to operate under the banner of Islam nobody feels safe in directly critisizing this. Is the Islamic culture as a whole, capable of co-existing or perhaps playing "second fiddle" in a Country with a totally different culture base? Or is it a culture that has to be the dominant force. Most other cultures seem to be able to tolerate diversity in quite a good way, i'm really not sure that Islam or the way some interpret Islam does. Again, one should question why Britain seems so popular to them. Surely, on the face of it other countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Turkey would appear to offer them a more familiar lifestyle base than we do in Britain, yet they are drawn to us as if by a giant magnet! We've basically had a near on open door policy for far to long, and its going to bite us on the Bum!! Part of it may indeed be our own problem because our our Island Nation status, but at the end of the day it is Our Island, and we've a right to express our thoughts and fears. We've always been wary of invasion, and thats perhaps what we are frightened of now...Invasion By Stealth!! Perhaps certain people, many politicians included are rather indifferent to this situation, maybe because they are isolated from any other culture than their own, for much of their day to day lives. I think its fair to say that we, in this part of Lancashire, have our fingers on the pulse, a little bit more than they have, and can perhaps see things now, that others will only start to see in years to come. Yes Multiculturalism is certainly here now, but does it work, and is it likely to work in the future in this Country? We live closely together around here, but in all honesty do we really mix with each other, relate to each other, spend a great deal of time with each other, by choice? Or are we too different?.

According to figures released by the United Nations, Britain is heading to become Europe's biggest population,

Its envisaged that annual net populations migration for he period 2010-2050 will be

USA 1,1m
Canada 214,000
GB 174,000
Spain 170,000
Italy 159,00
Germany 110,000
Austria 100,000
France 100,000

The most crowded country in Europe with people per Square Km are:-

England 395
Holland 393
Belgium 341
Germany 232
Italy 195
Luxembourg 177
Czech Rep 129
Denmark 126
Poland 118

I have many friends from all over the world, particular EU member states but some from outside the EU too and I go to a University with a vast variety of cultural links with some extremely intelligent students and lecturers coming on exchange and placement to bring some of their experiences and knowledge to the University. One of the most popular departments at Lancaster University is the Management School which is consistently ranked one of the top 5 in the world and its a brilliant talking point for students of all disciplines as it runs a lot of extra-curricular modules taught by various lecturers from all over the globe about current global-business issues, which provide the commercial awareness which is necessary for ALL graduate jobs.

I would lose some amazing lecturers if we lost the cultures and I'd lose a lot of brilliant friends. If I wanted to live under fascist governance I'd vote for the BNP. Fortunately I have some sense, if not much according to some people.

Multi-culturalism doesn't kill soldiers, weapons do and from what I have gathered from television and talking to armed forces reps at careers fairs, you are informed of the risks of being killed before you join them.

I also think that whilst its sad that soldiers die so young in the army, a lot of the pride of being in the forces has been lost in this day and age. It would seem actually that the army advertises mostly to the low achievers at schools and pulls them in at a young age.

If anything is bad its the army itself but then humanity as a whole isn't much better. If it was a bit better then maybe NOBODY would be murdered by another human being.

I'm not anti-war though because I see it as necessary considering humanity and its attitudes towards other people in different countries and such, but I'd obviously much rather we all just got along and lost all the prejudice and stuff.

All three forces also target the top universities in the land, in the hope of attracting the creme de la creme, for the many positions that require the right caliber of people.

I do hope the fact that you haven't come across this recruitment drive, means they haven't written off Lancaster as a place of under achievers.

:D

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

They target freshers fair but they don't hold their own talks to students. Didn't I mention in a thread recently that I spoke to the armed forces? Can't remember why I mentioned that though.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Though as an afterthought, I don't just go to Lancaster's careers fairs. Northern universities are generally poorly targeted by a lot of companies. Lots of them admit this themselves, shame really.

I went to London on saturday for a law fair, but then I am crazy.

I already did ... didn't you notice our population density:eek:

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Depending on the course you'll find graduates from both York and Durham, and Manchester to some extent, are eagerly targeted by employers. Certainly more so than at southern universities such as those found in Brighton or Bournmouth.

There isn't really a north/south or old/redbrick, when it comes to employer's more favoured universtities, alhough of course Oxbridge colleges does attract more attention. It really does depend on the course, and of course grades.

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Well the management school here is heavily targeted because its the highest ranked in the country.

Generally though, northern uni's aren't targeted unless they have a strong department that they want people from.

And, by the way, Neil and Royboy got the point of the post ... but it seems to have gone over your head, way over.:rolleyes:

Re: Multiculteral Britain - A No,No?
 

Way off the mark......Army: Engineers, Bridge Builders, Radar Plotters, Artisans of all trades, Chefs, Technical Stores Controllers and many more.
RAF: Pilots, Airframe Engineers, Plotters, Navigators and many more.
Navy: Dummies cant control bloody big things that they've got.
There are even lawyers in all the services.
Your opinion sometimes sucks Blazey....you have a lot of reading to do. :)
