Racial tensions in Great Britain grow

[Lugubrum]

A rapport of the British commission CRE makes a sad image of the multicultural society in Britain. The room between the different etnical groups is bigger than ever, is the conclusion...

It's clear that the multicultural society doesn't work.

(Sorry for bad translation. I only have the Dutch news article, I'm not familiar with English news sites so if someone has the English news article I will add it to the openings post.)

problem is the frikin minorities in the first place, i have nothing against them but when they all decide to live in the exact same area how the flying **** are people meant to 'intergrate' with them?



i hate it when people blame the 'majorities' for not bothering to mix with the 'minorities' well i can tell you that most people 99% wouldn't mind doing that but they keep them selves to them selves in their communities and don't interact with any other people.


also if you look at london you cannot say its not working multiculturally and half those journalists talk out of their arse or are from some posh little country village with their estates. BS london is really multicultural, there are schools with pupils from over 80 countries in one school ...



PS: there are only frikin racial tensions when people write this **** and stir them up. argh i hate those writers that just want a story so they pick that old age favourite out.

Nothing new. GB has always dealt with infusions whether the displacement of the Brythonic tribes or the Roman client tribes being absorbed by the Germanic tribes, or the Normans invasion. It's what renews you guys and keeps you vital and in touch with the "other" world.

The very reason imo Briton has been so influential over the years as well as any great nation for that matter, is her ability to absorb other cultures. What do you want; Kidney pie and potatoes or kabobs with curry rice? How bout some Reggae or do you still prefer traditional reels?

Welcome to Europe - we have the same problem here in Sweden.

Thats the problem mate.

Why not multi-ethnic? Why does the government encourage total banishment of our culture in favor of none native culture? Thats what pisses people off, the colour of your skin has not effected peoples opinion of one another since the 1920s (Unless they are racist).

Pubs are closing down, mosques are opening, history is less important than religious education, it goes on and on. The key thing about the EU for example is the sudden cooperation and complience to give everything to people who we have hated for hundreds of years.

Multicultural societies work, I like walking through my local town and hearing english, polish, arabic and assorted african languages, etc. It's just in densely populated areas that problems break out, but that would have been the same for the irish communities when every1 worried about the IRA.

If it wasn't minorities, it would be something else idiotic- people like to blame their problems on someone. E.g. My mum is a nurse and had a patient who comes in "Oh sister rudd, i couldn't get an appointment for ages, its those immigrants who take them all- you should give proper english people priority" Sister Rudd says "But sir, i'm not english, would you prefer a nurse who is?"

English only means either celtic, scandinavian, frankish, germanic, mediterranean or all of the above. No matter what, britain is multicultural- and it damn well should be. It just that people blame britain's problems on 'outsiders'

Gotta be kinda shocking for the Swedes as you guys are still the one indigenous tribe (Teutons?) not a lot of mixing going on in Sverige the last few thousand years eh?...Oh well, welcome to the world.

A wile ago there was that story about the dieing soldier coming back from Iraq, because the military hospitals where fucked up by the government the guy had to go to an NHS hospital and when he was being carted to whatever corridor he was going to die in he was undressed because his uniform may offend someone.

THAT is what I hate about the 'multicultural' bullshite, I do agree that the natives of any country should take prioritory, you don't see the Catholic council of Saudi Arabia do you, and the Muslim Council of Britain are just as messed up as our Government. We have a lot of problems in the UK that have no ideal solution, it seems we can either have freedom or equality.

Here's the deal (and it's not just Britain)
- While things are dandy (employment steady, foods on the table) everyone gets alone handily....'good'day
- Things get a bit dicey (as now) they start to fuss and fret.
- Economy goes to hell (jobs are scarce, food is budgeted) that's when Brixton and Jersey City burn.

Personally I'm worried about the 20,000,000 new Mexicans here, when the shit hits the fan. Those poor beggars won't stand a chance in a modern American urban struggle mainly because they are totally disenfranchised.

Maybe that's why the minorities in Britain are so vocal, they don't want to be out voiced and in the cold when the ship starts listing sharply to the right politically.

Big negative. Free speech and the right to assemble are important to uphold, oh and saudi arabia is definately our role model
