Nothing wrong with accepting other cultures, it all adds to the rich tapestry. However... when other cultures completely overrun an area, like east London for instance, people are entitled to be angry.

Have you ever been to Benidorm?

No, I have never been to Benidorm or anywhere resembling Benidorm. But I have heard the wild, sweeping generalisations on here that British people living in Europe are mostly fish and chip-munching, bingo-playing, lager-swilling chavs. Is that what you mean?

And of course, lots of Spanish people have made lots and lots of Euros off the backs of the British living out there... so let's hope the government's worries for them post-Brexit are as strong as all the hand-wringing over Europeans living here. They're much more valuable it seems.

Really? The same government who instigated the Good Friday Agreement?

As opposed to Labour sacked Mo Mowlam, a politician with immense respect, and replaced her with.... Mandelson. Shocked it went forward to be honest.

Yes. That's everyone in London. All 9 million of them. Fortunately there are no poor people in London. Well, no poor white people.

As long as those who value British culture don't allow those too blind or with ulterior motives to undermine that belief, then British culture and way of life will prevail. The PC brigade and those that seek to destroy British culture will only 'win' if allowed to.

Is it important that British culture stays the exact same to what it is right now, or can it evolve and adapt in your opinion?

No, not at all.
