I agree that things are far from perfect and that single-culture ghettos need to be broken up in some way, but all is not lost.

The UK is not a stone age backwater. So long as we ensure all children are taught the national curriculum, including our culture and history, they won't end up being indoctrinated. I would go further and make all schools secular with world religions taught as one subject. Having non-immigrant friends and watching UK TV changes attitudes. The boys start supporting British football teams and the girls start to resist being treated as possessions.

You can see this happening already. It's not complete and there will be many setbacks on the way, but given time, patience and effort it will change.

We need to encourage that change and welcome those who do with love and acceptance, rather than drive them back into the dark with endless criticism.

But where would he have got a piano from that soon after the creation of the universe?

The only one lying here is you. You pretend to be concerned about immigration, but the truth is what actually concerns you is where the immigrants come from. When we were in the EU you complained because free movement allowed Eastern Europeans access. Now we are out you complain they come from somewhere else. When it's pointed out that Singapore unsurprisingly has a large number of Asians you seem to think that's somehow different. When we had Eastern Europeans you weren't happy. Singapore actually has a significant number of European and American ex-pats in residence. It is though only a tiny economy compared to ours. Japan has more overseas workers than the official figures suggest. Many are there on limited contracts with pragmatic blind eyes being turned. The government know they face the same problem as we do and are quietly finding ways to overcome it. This gives a flavour of a very familiar problem, complicated for Japan by their language:-

The Japanese government does know what must be done. It's just not what you think they know!

You do post some tripe on occasions! It's not the least like a dictatorship. Manifestos are a broad-brush wish list of hopes which often don't survive the first few days. They aren't, and cannot be, a list of cast iron commitments. Events, dear boy, events! And politics! For sure the electorate hold a government to account which is why jam tomorrow promises so often succeed, rather than a careful analysis of what has actually been possible. I want governments to lead where their convictions tell them they need us to go and not to follow the herd of popular opinion.

More tripe. That others might be as stupid as you over such an issue doesn't mean you are right and you most certainly aren't. It's a preposterous idea that to be able to have an opinion on something as big a subject as immigration you must live in the middle of some of the worst affected areas. I have never claimed to know what it's like to live in South London, or Bradford or Leicester in 2023. I haven't because I don't. Any more than you know what it's like to live in Cornwall. Unlike me, who does know what it was like to live in Wisbech 10 years ago. That's not and never has been anything to do with the general observations I make about immigration. They are not specific to any one area or anyone's personal experiences.

It ought to be blindingly obvious, but to a hypocrite like you surely are I guess you "do a Nelson".

You constantly repeat your mantra about me not having the right to an opinion on immigration because I live in Cornwall.

Whilst you offer daily opinions on this, and related subjects when you live in the Fens. As rural and isolated an area as anywhere in Eastern England. If that's not hypocritical they need to revise the dictionary.

Naïve wishful thinking. The exact opposite is happening. There are many organisations and pressure groups among the various so called ‘communities’ who campaign to retain and extend their culture, religion and politics. One example was my earlier post of the theatre wanting to ban white people from their audience, purely because they are white. Meanwhile, various ‘hate’ legislation and propaganda is churned out to try to prop up this house of cards.

Pop down your local madrassa and tell them they are going to be a secular school and see what reaction you get.

Simply an absurd post.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

and often end up as the victims of so called 'honour killings'!!
