Homophobia is cultural, and its being erased, so have to disagree with that. A culture can easily be erased with the right conditions

I disagree, homophobia is an attitude, it's not ingrained into our national identity. Our history? certainly but not out culture. To erase a culture you basically have to wipe out the people that embody that culture like what the settlers did to the native americans and extremism will never become such a majority in which that could come to pass.

Britain's identity has not really changed much at all despite the regular fear mongering 'MUSLIMS ARE TRYING TO KILL CHRISTMAS!/PORKPIES!/TRYING TO FORCE SHARIAH LAW!' articles.

cultural changes are usually gradual things that disappear over time. One could argue that the have a natural evolution. The UK doesn't have the same culture since the days it was first inhabited. It evolves over time, Those cultural changes will be more pronounced when there is a greater external influence. Many changes could well be for the better, and I have no problem with that. It's the speed of change that is important to regulate, to ensure that everything remains compatible.

Oh just what I was thinking Cherie. Same tired old lazy argument that is regressive - NOT progreesive as some like to claim! It sets politics back decades.

There's this negative stigma attached with being an immigrant, people think they're wanting to scam the UK system and rinse it for everything .

If anything the bad ones always slip through the net ,and the hardworking decent ones get penalised and treated like a criminal.

Just look at the wind rush scandal ,absolutely disgusting & inhumane .
