It's much more than that as anyone who actually understands would know. But as I say culture is something you feel - something that has shaped your life and understanding, that gives you rights and freedoms, that makes you feel comfortable with a sense of belonging and pride and a lot more...

And people coming here take that away from you?

Culture isn't static, it's a dynamic constantly evolving thing. Curry and Kebabs are part of English culture, and yet only around 50-60 years ago, how many English people had ever tried them?

Public executions, child labour, and poor houses were part of our culture at one time, too.

History and traditions are ever growing. It isn't overwritten, it just grows to encompass more and more aspects of living in Britain.

The whole idea that we are 'losing our culture' is as ignorant as when people are saying 'muslims are taking over'. It's just ignorant hysteria.

“It’s a feeling”

What a load of bollocks, just an excuse to spout racist tosh

Gay culture is a real thing though. It isn't a feeling, it's a history.

The battles for equal rights, the arts, history, speech and traditions. It's tangible and real.

How are people taking that away though? That’s the question that was originally asked that nobody has been able to answer

It might not be taken away or hugely changed within our lifetimes, but mass migration can slowly change a culture, as culture has changed and evolved before. Western culture is better to live in than islamic culture, and I know which I'd rather my descendants get to live in.

But this is the same as people saying 'MUSLIMS ARE TAKING OVER!' and to that I say, how?

It's a minority of muslims that believe Shariah Law should be a thing in the UK. So a minority of a minority in essence. How is their mindset going to take over when the vast majority of the UK opposes it? Does everyone else aside from Extremist muslims stop breeding for a decade or so? Do we just vanish into the ether? It's a senseless and irrational fear brought on by ignorance.

They are not delusions because you say so. Many equally feel that your delusion of Britain being one big melting pot of cultures that understand and respect each other is one big delusion.

well if whole areas are immigrants, who have their own religion, shops, entertainment and all hark back to their original country it replaces british culture with that of the original

that is not hard to work out.

if one street has one family who are say Indian or two them cultures can merge and take the best bits of both but if the whole street is Indian and the next and the next and they want to live like they were in India in the UK then it creates issues

that is a crude way of explaining it but you get my point

You should read my posts before you make comments like that which contradict what I've already written.

I've never denied that the UK culture exists, just that it isn't a 'feeling' which is just meaningless. It's history and traditions and more which can't be ovewritten, only expanded upon.

Culture simply is not a 'feeling'.

You clearly lack understanding if you don't get what I mean by 'feel'. Your problem not mine.

What does that have to do with anything? The discussion is the supposed harm migrants/refugees/asylum seekers are doing to english/british culture.
