I was also reminded of a story my bro in law told me, that he ran into a couple from Norfolk while out walking in County Galway last week, and they have moved from Norfolk because of the influx of Londoners

My son has just bought a flat in Norwich I hope he didn't mean him

[Ammi]

...when I was in Norwich a few weeks ago...it was the word on the street about these young people coming in buying all of their flats with their foreign money and such the like.....

Not sure what point you're trying to make?

[Alf]

Who thinks it's a good thing if you go to Tokyo and it's majority White people speaking English? Does it make the Japanese racist that it's not?

[bots]

Funny you should mention the japanese who are among the most racist people on the planet

Still don't think Cleese said anything wrong in his post, perfectly legitimate, non aggressive, non violent observation

Can you back that statement up with any facts?

If you need to create a make believe scenario to illustrate your point, maybe it wasn't a good one.

That's not answering my questions, that's avoiding the questions by having a pop at me instead.

Try coming up with a less **** hypothetical then.

But I'll bite, Japan has two sides to it's society, one that enjoys the growth and sharing of culture and an older side to it that's often racist and dismissive of other cultures. If I went to Tokyo and saw more a diverse and accepting culture taking root then that's only a sign that the old ways are dying out and that's a good thing. It's not like the temples and history will be torn down and ripped aside, it's not like the national identity is disappearing, it would simply be growing.

It's typically only racists that take issue with diversity.

It's got nothing to do with race, English people come in all races. How many Londoners describe themselves as English is the point I think Cleese is trying to make.

I haven't had a pop at you.

You've just made a point and backed it up with an example that doesn't exist. Voiding any point you're trying to make.

The blacks and Indians mix well with the brits in london...the muslims though, I think they are the knees most people are upset about..



How do the Indians and blacks get on with eachother..or the Indians and muslims..or the blacks and muslims.....
The blacks and eastern Europeans. ..the muslims and the etc etc etc.... or are we just allowed to talk about the British old man being a racist.

WHAT!!!!!

Parmy, you know fine well its only the white male who is the baddy

The thing is my question doesn't have to be about Japan, it can be about, India, Brazil, Egypt, China ect

Yeah, but then you went on to say it's not about race, when your question was specifically about race. It was very confusing Alf.

If I said to you that sugar was sweet, you'd disagree with me. The only time you communicate with me is if you're disagreing with me.

Because I don't agree with anything you ever say. Do you want me to lie?

And deny it, but you did. You asked a question about white English people living abroad and then said it had nothing to do with race. I think you confused yourself tbh.

No I didn't ask that question, I didn't say English people, I said White people who speak English.

Let me put the question again, in a different way.

Let's say somebody from a majority White. English speaking country, eg England, USA, Australia, Canada Ect. They want to go on holiday to experience a different culture. They go to somewhere like, Egypt, India, Japan ect. When they get there, the country is majority White, English speaking immigrants from England, USA, Australia, Canada Ect.

Do you think that is a good thing, and not only a good thing but an essential thing for the good of that country?

[Alf]

Fook me, this place pisses me off at times.

If immigration is good for our country (which I'm not saying it isn't) Does that mean it's bad for the country they immagrated from?

Surely if we're taking all their best people, then their country suffers?

It's a form of colonialism is it not?

Don't worry Alf, Africa isn't going to run out of black people because a few live in White England.

Only Black people in Africa? Are they racist or something? When do they embrace diversity?

[Marsh.]

The funniest part is you post it as a joke, but you genuinely believe it.
