Thing is, I think most people's experience of daily life is that multiculturalism is kind of working. They mix with people of different ethnicities, cultures and religion on a daily basis, and have friends, schoolmates and work colleagues across those spectrums. Mixed cultural marriages and relationships seem more common place. Most people don't really seem to care about peoples race, culture, sexuality, gender, ethnicity etc in the way they used to. Problem is I think the reality is that those 'traditional views' aren't very popular anymore - and parties that hold them don't seem to do too well. UKIP once the referendum was done and dusted, immediately seemed to lose most of its support - because the issue wasn't 'multiculturalism' but EU migration (and they were right about that - the Freedom of Movement was a problem and an issue - not because of migration but because of the scale and impact on society). 'Traditional views' I think just aren't popular enough. None of those factors has any bearing except culture. Culture includes religion, lawlessness and attitudes to others. Things are not rosy in that department. To keep pretending they are is promoting unreality. Of course people interact in the course of daily life. They have to. What you really mean is that the law and the fascism of corporations and media have made it almost impossible for many people to say what they realy think. As far as voting is concerned. No one actually believes that a party other than Tory or Labour can win in a general election. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (13 Nov 2017 6.02pm)

Fueling of mass uncontrolled immigration (remember 'rub their noses in diversity' and 'she is just a bigot'), Introduction of tuition fees? Biggest financial meltdown every under their watch - Socialist utopia postponed yet again.

It was a Tory government that introduced restrictions on Commonwealth immigration in 1961. It was Labour's Jack Straw who ended the primary purpose rule as soon as they got in power, that then allowed migrants to bring family members here. Oh, and let's not forget, it was Blair's Labour government who allowed unrestricted immigration from eastern European countries.

That's why you should always vote the least interventionist party. The least government we can get away with while providing proper essential services, law and order and defence, the better. That's why Brexit is good - a whole strata of needless 'government' done away with.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |
