This is totally and utterly unacceptable and very offensive to many in this country. If they want to behave like this then there is a nice caliphate being created for them. I would suggest we facilitate their one way travel, upon surrender of UK passport, to this utopia. And as usual I see the Friends of Jihad are out in force. Mock all you like, this is a very...

The UK has not been populated by a 'pure' race for thousands of years. You are, by nature 'mixed breeding' and to be honest the identity of Britain ie the British Bulldog,everything stops of tea and everyone knows their place, has thankfully diminished. The UK has(had) a huge Commonwealth and stole other countries resources without really using any of that wealth to help the native inhabitants,who were shipped to the UK as very cheap labour. So - now individuals complain because these people whose relatives were taken advantage of want to dress and follow their own Religion however abhorrent it is to the good Christian Soldiers. If you don't like the multi-cultural British life then leave,but you will find it difficult to find anmy country now that does not have multi-culturalism and may end up on an island on your own where you can ban anything that does not conform to what you think is appropriate. For the Record I do not condone the wearing of the Burka but respect the right to be able to choose to do so for whatever reason other than deceipt.
Retro. ^ That sounds all very praiseworthy and liberal, but not since 1066 has anyone tried to 'set up shop' in this manner, yes, we have had the Hugenots and several waves of Jews and West Indians, but none have made such an overt attempt to overrun an area to this extent, and all have shown a degree of sensitivity to the feelings of the host nation.
Walk, or better ride a bus (top-deck), along the Edgware Rd and you will see all the shop, restaurant and bank shopfront fascias joined up in Urdu script, this isn't an accident, it is a conscious movement to stamp a foreign image onto an area in close proximity to London's Marble Arch.
I sense that there is a considerable amount of sniggering going on under the niqabs. Looking to history and geography, I fear trouble ahead.

RChic read some history! GB TRADED. as invited by host leaders of countries. Think of what we left in HongKong, India, Malaysia, Africa etc. Abolished slavery before 50s influx of labour (immigrants not brought in chains). Commonwealth troops for WW2 freely enlisted & salaried by WOffice.

Great Britain was not invited into the 200 countries they have invaded over the years . They did not invade them to negotiate trade agreements. They invaded them to steal mineral and natural wealth. India was left in a mess when they left -and look at it now. South Africa? total mess left, Hong-Kong? most of the wealth in Hong Kong was created by the Chinese anyway,and was only leased to GB for 99 years. Immigrants were promised a better life and ended up getting half the pay of white men and treated very badly. Back to the OP -we are 'letting this happen' because buying up property near to your friends and relatives, and advertising your business in your mother tongue is not yet illegal in GB.

they were. but you need to read your history, retrochic. the labour movement - and in particular the TGWU and COHSE - were just as complicit in the discrimination meted out, and in fact colour-barred certain jobs because "the membership" feared competition for their jobs would mean lower wages (yes, the whites too were paid a pittance and relied on overtime to survive); just google "Bristol Bus Boycott".

Retro; I really don't see what point you are trying to make here. Yes, some of those things took place, but simultaneously, it wasn't exactly a bed of roses for most back home in Britain; children toiling long hours down the mines, Irish peasants starving to death while mountains of butter were being exported for huge profits from Cork, Scots driven off their land and left in penury etc. - I could go on!
We also presided over the slave trade and hanged (and worse) people for the slightest misdemeanours. Our ancestors don't have a good track record, but it's now 2015 and the small islands of Britain and the small continent of Europe are being invaded by stealth, while our governments are sleep-walking into a very dangerous future, largely for political short-term expediency.

Khandro -I was not 'getting at' anything. The above reply was to explain my previous comment that Britain took advantage of many third world countries and can't moan now because the offspring off those immigrants want to live in this country and follow their beliefs. Politically I'm rather right of central and certainly not a liberal. The question was 'Why are we letting this happen' and my answer was 'because its not illegal' (and probably never would have happened to this degree had we not pillaged 90% of the countries in the world and encouraged their population to come to Britain as cheap labour..
I find this terribly sad. I am from round there and Dewsbury has changed so much that you could use the word 'highjacked'. Sorry Retrochic, this is far and beyond any gradual assimilation as happened in the past. Areas around Bradford would not be recognised as British/English by most inhabitants of the UK. Khandro has it absolutely right.
