Religious ideology runs deep and the optimism of some that once people experience more freedoms their views will change is more optimistic than realistic.

Personally I find it quite offensive when those defending mass immigration attack and insult British culture and use it as a reason why we shouldn’t care about things such as culture as ours apparently is so invisible and unimportant we wouldn’t be losing anything of any value anyway - another big fat straw man. Many, many Brits love their culture and way of life and won’t just hand over the reigns to suit the agendas of others.
...people try to tell me stuff all of the time, Brillo..they can tell all they want really but if something doesn’t feel right to me, if it doesn’t represent me or if it isn’t true to who I am...I just tend to take no notice ...I’ll listen but I won’t necessarily act though, isn’t that the way for most people in this country...because we’re fortunate enough to have choices that not all countries have, sadly...and again, I’m just trying to work out what the British culture is that immigrants are harming, which I’m struggling with...I think ‘caring’ is a huge part of our culture, as it is for many more fortunate countries...and that’s something I definitely don’t want any other culture to take away...I don’t want to say no, don’t come here with your culture...you all have to go back to your own lane and stay there...and then feel heartbroken at the things that happen in ‘that lane’...when we see all of those atrocities on our TV screens...I don’t want to feel that some people didn’t have to go through that or struggle in the lives they have in their country’s opportunities...and I just closed the door on them and said....no, not in my backyard, so long as some awful things don’t happen here, i’m much more comfortable with that.... mixing cultures of good and not so good values...(..rather than isolating off into ‘own lanes’..)...will always create the better world balance of these things for me, Brillo...
