Integration Doesn't Seem To Be Working

Would you leave your area if you found yourself in the minority?

[MrsLulu]

LazyGun, perhaps on day you will.

[LazyGun]

Why don't you make that day today then, Lulu, and explain to me why it is you think that integration or its failure will result in the UK electing a despot or a dictator? Or is it something to do with their culture or skin colour that you are referring to?

[jim360]

I know why I think of Mugabe and Gaddafi as evil despots. I wanted to understand quite why you felt it belonged in a thread about immigration.

[FredPuli43]

Why, exactly, will those on here who will move home, with all that entails, move because their white area became substantially immigrant? I say 'white area' but will you do so if the immigrants are themselves white?

[tonyav]

Yes.

[Sharingan]

Yes that's an interesting point Fred, would everyone run for the hills who have done or think they would if the immigrants were blonde, haired blue eyed Norwegian families who had jobs like architects, professors and civil servants, or are they just worried about people with dark skin and religions they don't understand?

[boxtops]

That's a lot to do with it, shari, IMO - some people are very alarmed by difference.

[FredPuli43]

And re Mugabe and Gaddafi, it is well-known that the immigrants don't understand democracy, and if they do affect to understand it, believe it consists in vote-rigging and using violence on opponents and those who vote for them. It isn't? But it stands to reason, dunnit?

India? Never heard of it.

[FredPuli43]

tonyav, if your post above was in answer to mine, it doesn't answer it fully. Why, exactly, would you move, not would you move, is the question.

[tonyav]

Fred, read my 12.44 post.

[jim360]

On what grounds do you base that feeling [that immigrants would "destroy" your local environment]?

[tonyav]

Just my own personal feelings.

[Sharingan]

With terrifying things like this Jim I imagine :)

[jim360]

If all you have to go on are your own personal feelings that's nothing short of ill-informed prejudice.

[tonyav]

Probably if I lived in Birmingham or Sandwell, but I don't.
Glad I don't live in a city or town.

By the way Sharingan, what part of the country do you live in ?.

[tonyav]

Oh ok jim, if you say so.

[chaptazbru]

I'm with tony and BOO on this one.

[tonyav]

Careful chaptazbru, you'll probably get jumped on for having an opinion.

[chaptazbru]

I'm used to that tony, I FREQUENTLY get jumped on on here !!!!!

[shaneystar2]

So could you please tell me Tony ....suppose a house came up for sale in this idyllic village of yours and I were,along with my white immigrant husband ,to buy it and move in ,you would move out .Do I have that right ?
And also could you tell me how you would actually know that he's an immigrant.
Are people vetted ?
