  1. Look at it this way, if that massive influx of people from 1997 to now had been caucasian would it be any more or less sustainable? No, it would be just as unsustainable as the massive influx we've experienced. Look around you - in huge swathes of the country public services have collapsed under the pressure of just too many would be service users, homelessness is rising meteorically because the housing stock is limited, education is failing huge numbers of some demographics...this is not good or fair to any one in the UK.

  2.  John Ludwig  I tend to agree. My point was to illustrate that the sheer pressure of numbers is unsustainable whether the incomers are purple, turquoise or yellow with blue spots! That is, it's not a racist issue. Having said that, you're right, the Dutch, Swedes, Norwegians, Danish, Belgians, Finns, NW Russians, Poles, Ukrainis, Hungarians [oops, I missed out Germans, some of my forebears were German immigrants, as yours, from your surname??] etc etc. can settle in quickly and easily and have been doing so for many decades. Their cultures are similar enough to ours. However, you should have seen what a Somali taxi driver did to my son's arm when he held his hand out for the change he was due. This is not acceptable behaviour in any western civilised nation. My shocked son vowed not to get into a cab with a Somali driver again. so perhaps the lack of assimilation goes both ways....we have so little in common in some fundamental rule of law ways.

  3.  @AlexanderLittlebears  You may well ask! You may have noticed that our world has gone into some sort of atavistic regression on this as in other areas of resuscitated contention?
