In the internet age if we allow a situation in which children grow up entirely surrounded by another culture nothing will change. You don’t get it either. We’re dealing with a group of people who not only don’t want to be part of British culture but will actively resist the proposal. The Asst Police Commissioner has said that British Muslims, and others, should not be forced to assimilate.

The Asst Police Commissioner has said that British Muslims, and others, should not be forced to assimilate. Let me try to help you get it. The "group of people" you refer to will, over time, become another group of people. They will become second and third generation children of immigrants, who have been brought up surrounded by British culture and, so long as we don't isolate them, by British people too. That changes people. You can already see it with some of the youngsters kicking back against the authoritarian control of their parents. We need to slowly draw them into the mainstream.It's happened before and there is no valid reason why it cannot again. It just takes effort and patience. I agree though with the Commissioner. Some folk are set in their ways and will not change so it would be counter productive to try to force them. We must not allow radical groups to claim martyrdom and recruit the young to their cause. That, by the way, is the biggest danger of the "Robinson" approach to this issue. For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

In the meanwhile what happens with new arrivals? The process starts again and so will never end.

Yeah, it's not as though we haven't already had much more than fifty years of significant immigration already compared to before.....to lead us to this downgrade with higher crime, much higher social costs and much higher social incohesion.....all while immigration continues at the same pace. All while fools and liars, told the populous exactly the same half truths and delusions you have dealing with here. Different year, same BS.

The assimilation argument was a lie to begin with. Only now we see officials start to drop it.....and we have the next step in delusions. Look at even the Russians in Georgia, they were welcomed in, expected to assimilate with a similar culture...there have been Russians in Georgia for centuries....Look what happened.

The process starts again and so will never end. It will take as long as it takes, but 10 years will see a difference and 25 years a big difference. In 50 years we will look back and wonder what all the fuss was about. With the benefit of hindsight and experience I expect that any new arrivals will be handled somewhat differently than in the past. How many will enter in the future and from where is though still an open question.

Not many of us will be looking at very much in 50 years but future generations may well be aware of exactly what the fuss was about.
