Immigrants-a common enemy to focus your ire. Really Nick? That's what you truly believe after all the points made against immigration on Hol? You think it's about 'scapegoating and scaremongering'? Sometimes I feel like giving up debating. I think the whole immigration thing has been blown up out of proportion. That's not to say that there shouldn't be border controls. But i also think we should take our fair share - which looking at the figures provided earlier, doesn't seem to be happening. There's been so much underinvestment in and cutting away of our infrastructures in recent times. That's where the issue lies. Is it possible for you to expand on this please? Yes. If you ever leave the country, they shouldn't let you back in.

Edited by johnfirewall (19 Aug 2015 1.55pm) I think you're more or less right, that multiculturalism entered the general lexicon with Blairites, but its been in use since the 60s in a less 'driven' manner. Its certainly not a new thing either, just the annoying one. In theory it doesn't apply just to overseas workers, but to pre-existing and adopted cultures as well - it would be eronous to presume that cultural diversity in the UK is solely along ethnic lines of influence, that tends to suggest that cultural diversity in the UK is a product of migration, which isn't true (Cultural diversity in the UK is diverse within ethnicities, as between them).
