/// if we mean assimilating different cultures and adding variety, tolerance and open-mindedness, then britain has been multicultural for thousands of
years. ///
I wondered how long it would be before the history books came into play.
Apart from the two great invasions, those being the Roman and the Norman invasions, being a white European, Christian country we have not seen such an influx of different races along with their various cultures, since the post war mass immigration programme, introduced by Labour.
/// increasingly though, it's come to be seen as the open-minded britishness existing side by side with the culture of the incomers, which has involved bending of previous values, and legal exemptions in some cases, to accommodate this. ///
And why should it be left to us to do all the bending of our values, so as to accommodate others?
