The article itself was quite poor, it took some flimsy information and quite clumsily tried to make an article on it. It did kinda raise some points that were interesting.

Integration is always difficult, its almost unheard of for integration to work strait away at any point in history. Our boat is no different in that respect. It took 20 years for us to accept the Irish, and they barely count as a foreign culture! You could make the argument that we still haven't accepted Carrabian cultures 50 years later! What chance do poor muslims or Eastern Europeans have? Is it their fault we are like that? Probably not, so by extension maybe its us that need to adapt to them to a certain extent.

The fact that there were people that genuinly believed (Not suggesting its a majority at all) that the referendum was a vote to get rid of foreigners tells me that integration is never going to be easy, it will take a hell of a long time, we still have a bit of an islander mentality and I cant see that going anytime soon...

Breaching the rules again. It's almost like you're after a matching pair.
