Says Chancellor Angela Merkel:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11559451
It was meant to fail in terms of integration, but it has succeeded in destroying the culture,identity and strength of European countries.
The end game will see the Germans launching another heroic assault on other races , but this time the feeble minded fluoridated generation who justify anti semitism and don't value individual liberties won't stand up to them
She said the so-called "multikulti" concept - where people would "live side-by-side" happily - did not work, and immigrants needed to do more to integrate - including learning German.
The comments come amid rising anti-immigration feeling in Germany.
A recent survey suggested more than 30% of people believed the country was "overrun by foreigners".
Wasn't this the message that Brexiteers were trying to say, and isn't it sort of true , all threw my life I've heard many cultures badly insulted , some of the anti English stuff emanating from Wales in a way shows that.
You go to many Cities and you can see the divide even in in our own city ,which has better integration than most ?
Nope she is right, it doesn't work .
She said all this in a speech 10 years ago. Your mate was presumably trying to tempt a couple of unsuspecting fawns into some trap for his own self-gratification. Looks like he succeeded!Quote:

Why don't you and the rest of the know everything about everything club just admit that you cocked up this time? Nothing dramatic happens to you if you do, your arms don't drop off or anything like that - in fact, in my experience, you can end up feeling quite good about yourself.Quote:

I'm always impressed by the fact that you're aware of the Kalergi plan, especially on a message board which has such a high percentage of stupid people
I'd say they're in denial or wilfully blind rather than stupid.
Beneath is a 7-minute video of London in 1967. Anyone who's even slightly familiar with that city today will be able to gauge how effective those (the Political Class) who have implemented the Kalergi Plan have been. Though, they'll continue to cling to the mistaken belief that the red and blue teams are different.
I didn't spot a single fatty amongst them, nor any tattoos, beggars, vagrants, drug-induced Zombies, or anyone with a beard down to their knees.

A 7 minute Pathe News film about London in the Summer of Love without drugs and beards....who would have guessed. It's almost like it's the same year that the BBC banned Lucy in the Sky with DiamondsQuote:

If your living memory goes back that far would you say society was better then than now?
Most people view their childhoods as better than they view their current lives. Obviously I would have needed to have been one of the few people in my Valley's village to be able to afford a phone to have been aware enough to know and ring your number to tell you that. Most likely you would have been out at some anti-Kalergi evening class for the under-10s even if I had been lucky enough on the party line to get through!Quote:

I think you are underestimating how much technological enhancements have enriched people's lives. For example, not so long ago some people would have needed to wander the streets of rural Norfolk towns accosting unsuspecting strangers to tell them how clever they are and how important they used to be. Now they can do it from the comfort of their own homes!Quote:

Yeah, apologies. Just thought that your valid point was masked by dragging in the Kalergi stuff and Pathe News clips to support your argument.Quote:

Certainly far more than any influx of immigrants and the degradation of a perceived mono-culture.
What I do agree is that the focus on property as a source of wealth generation, the destruction of the public housing sector and housing pressures from immigration have led to the difficulties you highlight.

It was not uncommon to walk past folk like Mary Quant, Peter Sellers, Julie Christie and Terence Stamp on the Kings Road on their way to the boutiques or the swanky 235 Kings restaurant opposite where I lived. For a Cynon valley boy it has to be remembered that this was an area, which to me, could have been on a different planet!
Happy and somehow more innocent days they were, sadly gone for ever.

You are obviously right that housing (for rent or sale) was more affordable, the welfare state was more complete in a lot of ways, there was more of a shared culture (which is both a good and bad thing - with 2/3 TV channels that everyone watched) and a stronger sense of community in many places. Against that I think a lot of change in social attitudes is for the good, overall wealth has increased (not evenly), there is now much more cultural diversity, and access to information (and misinformation). Technology, gadgets and baubles is just a part of it.Quote:

Should Welsh people living in England be allowed to vote ? What about Irish , Jamaican or Indian people living in Wales ?
Also, what is your definition of "Welsh " ? How many generations have to be born in Wales to be included in the Master Race ?
What about someone born in Chester or Monmouthshire before borders were re drawn ?
I never said immigrants should not be allowed to vote, if Wales was independent mind whether immigrants should be allowed in without checks and balances on the demographics of the people coming here is another question mind.
