Grahame Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 The history of Britons is the history of immigration. Immigration and integration! But not in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well I'm a member, it's less to do with altruism and more to do with free entry to NT sites, I guess most members are the same! Mind you it does get tiresome with all those white folks following me around and sniffing me when my back's turned Add to that free entry to health care, education, housing and social services and you get "economic migrants."

The overwhelming majority of non indigenous people in this country pay tax, just like you do and avail themselves of the facilities available to them when they need them, just like you do.

Bloomdido Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I hate those National Trust bustards. I'm English Heritage through and through and don't dare suggest anything different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiculturalism is a myth. It means two things. It means accepting people from different backgrounds as your equal, without promoting any specific ethnic, religious, and/or cultural community values. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiculturalism That is never going to happen while things are as they are. Neither is the prince going to accept the pauper as his equal. Which is why I say “Multiculturalism is a myth.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I say “Multiculturalism is a myth.” Well I accept everybody I encounter as my equal-irrespective of their religion, race, politics, wealth, age, sex or sexuality. The view is then modified based on that individual's personal qualities, what's so complicated about that?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do accept people as equals, and so they are, until they start banging on your door trying to convert you to their laws and their religion, because you have firm views on that and this is where the problem lies.

Grahame Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 And how do you describe things as they are? See above, but perhaps a clash of cultures and ideology puts it into a nutshell: and that "clash" of ideas is the intellectual equivalent to the clash of weapons which we see played out in the physical.
