The UK was built on the cultures of other countries. We'd have been a very different country were it not for the Vikings, Romans and Anglo Saxons and even our language is based off of a mix of German, Latin and French. We have always been a multicultural country.

You can't 'lose' culture, it can only adapt and change and grow.

Culture is forever adapting half of the things we see as 'british' were imported here at the time of the empire... also what exactly has been lost as a result of migration? Because I can't really think of anything

And none of that is under threat.

Honestly, it's just all hysteria and ignorance tbh.

Armand asked what is under threat/has been lost because of immigration and you posted that list, did you even read his post?

[Josy]

I agree with a lot of his points tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

I recall going down to get tickets at West Ham on non match days. The whole of the area was Indian/pakistani, shops, markets people. You saw the odd white person but it was and is too much.

Up in Scotland most cities have a good blend of immigrant and indigenous but look at Bradford, Birmingham or Leicester

Even if British culture as a whole is under threat, no good will come from huge amounts of people coming from islamic cultures would only be a negative.

[Oliver_W]

Even though our culture (and most Western cultures) might be a bit of a mix of previous cultures, what does islam have to offer which isn't already here? Nothing good, so why should mass immigration from such countries be a good thing?

So doctors, nurses, carers, dentists shouldn’t be allowed to come here just because they’re from an Islamic country?

Depends if they bring their culture with them. Such people aren't likely to be the illegal migrants that countries around the Med are facing. Plus, there's an entire planet out there, we can be picky.

Not once does that article reference the immigrants coming to Europe as being illegal immigrants. And why shouldn’t they be allowed to bring their culture? Who are you to say that they can’t? Yeah good luck being picky after Brexit

what the **** does this even mean? "you're aloud in but leave everything about your identity behind"... how would you even in force this, check up on them on ramadan to make sure they're eating?

you do realise that islam doesn't really have a culture it all depends what country you're it. for example Nigerian, Turkish and Asian muslims are very different from each other, so it's a bit unfair to stick them all into one camp

That’s right wing ignorance for you

Middle Eastern muslims throw gays off roofs, while in Indonesia 93% of muslims think being gay is unacceptable, and even in London only half of muslims think being gay is okay. There might be superficial differences country to country, but the same crap comes up.

Would you say Indonesians are a threat to Britain?

What about white southerners from the Bible Belt? Is their homophobia better because they’re Caucasian?

Indonesians aren't directly a threat, but the fact the same stuff comes up in islamic cultures across the world shows how despite the apparent diversity within islam, it all boils down to the same stuff.

As for the Bible Thumpers, they're a relic in their own country. Most people don't give a crap either way if someone's LGBT, and LGBT people have all the rights we need. Their homophobia is bad as well, but they're not a huge "culture" which is trying to spread, they're a dying breed.

You mean extremists that belong to terrorist organisations, right? Suggesting that all muslims in the middle east do or support that is a dangerously ignorant statement.

Most religions demonise the gays, you can't pick on muslims for it when a good chunk of all religious people believe that homosexuality is a sin. Conversion therapy is a real and present danger and that's something that is purely western in nature.

If you're going to hate on a religion, hate on them all since a lot of the points you're hitting on is not exclusive to muslims.

@Smithy and Armand

Do you both agree that uncontrolled immigration to Britain is and has been a bad thing?

And do you agree that what we have in say Bradford is bad for Britain?

Bradford literally isn't as bad as people make out, yes it's scruffy and grotty (no thanks to white chavs either) but I could go in the town centre and I'd see a good mix.

I live 30 mins from Bradford

[Smithy]

Donald trump is in power and the bible bashing LGBT haters are a dying breed lmfao, ok

[kirklancaster]

Trump is correct in what he has stated and THAT subject is what this thread should be about.
