Re: Henry Nowak
How do the different customs etc enrich our society? It's minimal, if anything. Does it work the other way? Are there people in Mali telling each other to open their minds to beans on toast and Shed Seven? If you get something out of it then that's nice but you can be a white man who only listens to Coldplay, reads Len Deighton and has a Sunday roast every night and you can still be conscientious, imaginative and useful.Originally posted by Tuerto View Post
I can walk to city road from my house and eat food from loads of different countries, listen to different languages, different expressions, customs etc, it's a true education and it enriches us as a society. Of course immigration has to be monitored, but to think that there are people in our society who see immigrants as a threat, see them as a dilution of 'British' culture is truly sad in my opinion. We don't evolve by being closed or by constantly listening and agreeing with people who look and sound just like we do.
A lot is made of diversity and perhaps that's because it makes us feel better since immigration is an economic tool and steeped in superiority. Why would they come here if it wasn't so bad elsewhere? We know it and they do too but it seems like we don't like to admit that. Even that clown from the Greens said so himself. Well, good for us. Thank your lucky stars and enjoy your Laotian curry and appreciate the nice people who drive our buses but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be careful or our lives suddenly take on a new dimension. Most are here because it's a trade-off.

Re: Henry Nowak
I'll speak for myself then, maybe that's what i should have done with my original post. I love Diversity, i seek it out, it's something that gets my attention, whether that's through travel, food, music, or just finding out about people. If people only want to listen to Coldplay, Eat a roast every night and read Len Deighton, then more power to them. We should all be able to do what we want to do, obviously within reasonOriginally posted by Bluebirdman Of Alcathays View PostHow do the different customs etc enrich our society?

Re: Henry Nowak
Fair enough. I said what i thought so there's no point in going back and forth. Only one thing, How do you know that The police, The Guardian and The Bbc wanted to label Nowak a racist?Originally posted by Heathblue View PostHomeless in Bristol, Cathays, Roath, Ely, Rumney, Splott I don't have a very privileged upbringing myself, lots of scrapping on the streets, coming home from school St Illtyds V Rumney high or Caer Castell as it was then, Rumney V Llanrumney, football violence IMO was far worse back then, being double dipped in a tin bath hoping i didn't get the 2nd bath, them days were shit and of course and we didn't have the internet back then to report the crime as we do now i don't look back on nostalgia thinking it was great, with 6 grandchildren between 17 and 23 (3 of them girls) i have different skin in the game now and I'll never ever ever feel guilty for worrying about them as they they go about trying to build lives for themselves in the climate of violence which we know exists, and largely, only because of Elon Musk. You'd probably like one of my Granddaughters, she was reprimanded a few weeks ago and told to remove her fcuk Nigel Farage banner from the window of her uni accommodation. You said you do not use X, I can assure you its a cesspool of shit but for however shit it is, the press, police and BBC could not label Henry Nowak a racist which they wanted to do so, the incident in Belfast was in the public domain before the narrative could be framed, we robbed shops like fcuk when we were young, but however how much we robbed them, meat, chocolate etc. wasn't locked up to prevent it, shopkeepers were empowered to do something about it, shop assistants are being told to ignore it and do not challenge anyone, them days were not great they were hard and tough for many, luckily for Mozz he didn't have to wear hand me downs as he went to a different school and the uniform was different!! Nothing or no one will ever convince me a young girl going into town on the weekend for a night on the piss had similar probability of harassment in the 60's, 70's, 80's as they do in the current decade. Not even the Guardian or BBC stats so we'll have to disagree on this one.

The different cultures arrived because of economic opportunity (and they weren't collecting benefits in the Boriswave). In Victorian times we had open borders, but that wouldn't work now.Originally posted by SLUDGE FACTORY View PostIrrespective of how people arrive diversity is part of life

It's a strange argument. We have awful people living here so it's okay to import more.Originally posted by SLUDGE FACTORY View PostOver the years young women have occasionally been subject to terrible things in Cardiff
Murder in the Carpet , Riverside
Poor young girl killed in Cath Cobb woods
Murder of Lynette White
Geraldine Palk
None of these women were killed by muslim immigrants

Re: Henry Nowak
So what you're saying is that people came here from different countries in order to make their lives better and not to make my life feel more enriched? Man, that's pissed on my chips.Originally posted by Bluebirdman Of Alcathays View PostThat's grand, but it's a by-product of economics and politics.

I bet very little is British...even the most British of sounds - ska - is reggae on steroids.
FFS Britain has always been a melting pot. Have we had significant immigration since the 1950s - yes. Has this allowed the UK economy and social fabric to grow and develop to be much better than before - also yes.
Did you ever watch Auf Wiedersehn Pet?
we didn't mind economic migrants in the 1980s, why the volte face today?

how about marching through catholic areas in July? eating jellied eels? how about bubble and squeak? why not make wearing flat caps compulsory? what defines Britishness? anyone who doesn't bow before the king should be put in the (London) Tower?

The same Yaxley Lennon who has protested about Muslim grooming gangs and freedom of speech and last seen drinking in Moscow with a massive paedo, who just happens to be Elon Musks father.Originally posted by Tuerto View PostA bit like Tommy ten names showing his concern for Muslim women and their human rights.

Re: Henry Nowak
The concept of national identity wherever you live in the world is a moving feast. It is largely subjective and often based partly on myth, selective historical indoctrination and stereotypes.Originally posted by Feedback View Postso lets preserve British culture....shall we start with what we want to preserve?

Nations are simply defined by red lines on maps and individual human attributes are far more complex and less homogenous once they are freed from state and religious yokes.
