Globalisation is simply a factor of today's world. It hasn't been created by some kind of mythical elite seeking to feather their own nests with cheaper labour. Such ideas are the result of fanciful conspiracy theorists. It's the IT revolution combined with increased global trade and efficient shipping methods which has created today's world. If we are to compete in that world we need to be part of that world.

This is disgusting?
Do they want "positive discrimination" to get their own way ?

So for example, you think that most Muslims aren't in favour of death to anyone who insults their religion?

No I don't think that is true at all. I think it is true of a sizable, but reducing, minority. Most want exactly the same as everyone else and as time passes and the locally born generations become immersed in British culture so the extreme views will fade away.

You don't think the majority of Muslims believe that women are second class citizens?

I don't. The 50% who are women are unlikely to believe it, even if they get treated as such. The young, after exposure to British views, challenge such ideas. Which leaves primarily men who have been brought up to accept such ideas or been radicalised here. The older group will die off whilst the younger need to be resisted and re-educated.

In any case, it doesn't matter if only a percentage of a culture is undesirable. What matters is that it is undesirable and now in this country via mass immigration.

You can make a case that our country has accepted a higher level of immigration than is desirable.(I don't accept that case myself). You can make a case that we haven't ensured that all new arrivals are sufficiently screened and monitored so that extreme views are weeded out prior to an "indefinite leave to remain" being granted. You can make a case that no special rules should apply to Commonwealth countries. You can make a case that the rules on bringing in "family members" needs to be revised and strengthened. What you cannot do is decide that any major religion is "undesirable" because to do that would produce more problems than it solves. We are where we are and we need to find real solutions.

No one needs to use racist language to expose the truth. The truth is out there.

Yes it is and I agree. You can talk about the actual problems without any need to use racist language. That many seem incapable of doing so is regrettable.

This process has nothing to do with equality and fairness and everything to do with globalisation, a cheaper pool of labour, greedy self interest and manipulating thought to accommodate it.

I'm afraid I have to disagree on all the key points.

I certainly can say that major religion is undesirable. I do not make allowances for religion just because a lot of indoctrinated people believe in the same fairy stories or use such nonsense to control others. This stuff is a throwback from when we didn't know better. Now we do.
I do not for one minute believe that only a small percentage of Muslims believe in as examples, death to blasphemers and the suppression of women's rights. You are deluding yourself.

Globalisation did not arrive by magic it was created by people and driven by greed. Its symptoms are therefore driven by the need to profit. The motivation for mass immigration is to make more even profit. There is no social advantage whatsoever. Its aim is to help reduce wages so the rich get richer at our expense.
