That's not the point I was making though. The point I was making was that alot of British in Spain do all the stuff that they accuse immigrants in Britain of doing but they always have excuses of why it's ok for them to do it (ie not learn the language, not integrate, form ghettos, not only don't learn Spanish but actually expect the Spanish to speak English etc etc )

Over 200 replies in this thread. Just shows how more popular the likes of Hopkins and Farage are.

Owen Jones or Billy Bragg, could only dream of having that response, but what the say, doesn't make any sense, so no one is interested.

But it started about them, and because they are interesting and have a point of view, it carried on, because people enjoyed the debate.

Immigration and most especially Muslims is a hot topic right now any thread on immigration is guaranteed many replies. I disagree that they are interesting, I would say rude and arrogant is more like it

There are 37 references to Hopkins in this thread and 15 to Farage, that includes times when a post mentioning them was quoted by others, and times where both names were mentioned in the same post were counted twice

You would rather talk about the likes of Farage and Hopkins, than any progressive bore-fest.

It's because what they say is interesting, and you can probably see a bit of truth at the end of the tunnel.

What they say is usually offensive and hypocritical rather than interesting from what I've heard (mainly Hopkins, I haven't really listened to much of anything Nigel farage said) it get's people commenting because they rile people up. Katie is nothing more than shock tactic band wagon jumping leech. Literally her "talent" is annoying people

That's a plus, most good comedy is.

I havent talked about them though, hardly anyone on this thread has lol. A rough estimate would be about 30 different posts (out of ~230) made by about 9 different users (out of 29) have done so. It wasnt the OP that enticed me, it was the posts made within it.

Well then you should stop trolling and stick on topic.

Popular is the word I was looking for.

British "culture" is/was an amalgamation of stolen traditions and cultures anyway.

That's what happens on the world, things blend together and make new history and traditions. It's always happened and always will.

Incorrect Britain has been exactly the same for several thousand years. The chippy near me has been open for over 900.

I don't see much blending. Sometimes belief systems are just too different.

In all seriousness, do you trust your own perception as far as this topic is concerned?

Belief systems and religions have evolved too.

Which religion are you? You seem very reluctant to intergrate. Would you say you are reflective of everyone else from your religion?
