Haven't had a curry in ages. The last kebab I had (many years ago) ran straight through me. What an enriching night that was.

Technically, and not that I'm advocating this, but you don't need immigration for kebabs and curries; you just need to go and learn their techniques and bring them back.

Eating a Kebab after several beers (does anyone eat them sober) is one of the most Culturally British things a man can do. I'd stick with a roast iif i was you

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.
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.

I miss the traditional British values where you could express yourself freely without fear of causing offence.

I miss calling my local Chinese take away "the chinkies", the Indian shop owner "the pakis" and referring to any woman to as "luv" "sweetheart" or "daft slag".

In fairness since the late 70s British values have turned to shiit.

I'd bring back tv programmes like Mind Our Language to demonstrate how open and tolerant we were to "darkies" and "wogs" coming over here.

I blame Starmer.

If you ever feel the need to visit a trip down memory lane, a sense of nostalgia, a feeling for days gone by, and the chance to see, gear and listen to most of what you've posted above, Then there's always an open invite for you Jordi to have Christmas dinner at my in laws. Even the door bell chime is ****ing racist.

No, a professor of anthropology at Oxford University.

How do the different customs etc enrich our society?

I'd say food, drink, music, entertainment, sport, fashion, art, stuff like that.

The society I live in has been enriched by different cultures and customs throughout all of my 59 years. I can't imagine what life would be like if it hadn't. What would things be like in the UK without immigration, I wonder? We'll never know. Or care.

I'd also flip the question: What have the people getting mad at the different custom contributed positively to society? All they've managed is rage and riding on the backs of other people actually responsible for positive contributions to society. They've done more to hurt society than not only immigrants as a whole, but I'd even argue the criminal immigrants they crow on about, because they've allowed a rot to fester that's much harder to deal with than individual criminals.

They should be grateful the question and narrative has not shifted to whether or not they should be allowed to participate in civil society, because the narrative they're concocting is a Frankenstein monster that will turn in on itself.

I've tried to emigrate to many fantastic countries outside of the west and they all said they don't do immigration. Pity really as they all looked like nice places to live.

The things you list are subjective and consumer choices. They may or may not affect any given individual, based on personal taste. It doesn't make anyone better or worse for what they choose. My question was to Tuerto who suggested he could walk down City Road and get a "true education" and it enriched us as a society and I asked how. Whenever there's a debate on immigration, diversity is suggested as a positive thing but it's a digression at best.

I think they affect each and every one of us on a daily basis. Of course, those opposed to immigration will pretend they don't, but we all know that's nonsense in reality.

UK 'culture' (if there actually is such a thing in this day and age) includes countless elements either taken directly from or strongly influenced by other cultures from all over the globe, and that's been the case all of my life.

I often wonder how people who maintain a firm anti-immigration stance reconcile their support for professional football in general and Cardiff City in particular? If their 'consumer choices' include supporting a club like ours, do they feel at all hypocritical?
