Immigrants vs Britain

[Iberistania]

I just worry that the increase in citizens of foreign nationalities will scare enough people into voting for the more extreme political parties. The BNP is a very good example. I hate to bring it up but it's stuff like this that helped Hitler gain power in Germany (fucking Godwin).

So immigrants should stay in their "asian" countries just in case, for not giving votes for the BNP?

Wouldn't it be easier to fight the prejudices of the BNP showing that immigrants and brits have lots of things in common?

This thread has been reported in Moderation, but I see no reason to lock it.

Holding opinions that the majority on NSG find offensive is not itself against the rules, and the OP doesn't seem to be trolling.

A couple of issues... one tiny and terminological, the other slightly more important.

Don't they teach English composition in British public schools any more?

I doubt the OP went to public school.

The confusion here is, of course, terminological. ASB may not be aware that 'public school' actually means 'selective fee-paying school' in British English, not 'state-supported school'. Hence, Eton is a public school, but St. Flogging's Comprehensive isn't.

The OP's the truth. Can't help but feel like a wog myself because of all the immigrants. Thankfully things here in Portsmouth are still capital.

Let's please try and avoid use of offensive, potentially baiting terms like 'wog'. It's a tricky word since in some versions of English (particularly Australian English), it's lost much of its derogatory meaning, and is more of an ethnic - rather than racist - term. But many people in the UK find it exceptionally offensive.

And you perhaps haven't spent much time in the North End recently.

From what I can tell it's lessened in severity, but remains a handy way to get your head smashed in depending on where and what context you use it in.

Actually, I did... but I don't know what England calls its "state-supported schools", so I hoped that fact that almost all of you know I'm an American would let you guess what I meant.

[Forster Keys]

Nah, don't worry. Classism is kosher.

Actually I find it saddly funny that by trying to stop racism against people who have been accepted by the government and seek to make a new area home, they blame "British people"
I am not too sure if this is on socio-ecenomic, heritage or cultural (or a combination) but to me it sounds like the very racism that he is against.

Well he put a disclaimer saying he was being clever, subverting shiz and whatnot.

What? Reactionary ideals have no place in the military!

Don't worry he intends on joining with his bottle fighting mate. Well, that's a misleading statement.

Great, now I want to go and learn Asian.

Funnily enough the only person I know who claims that Asian is a language recently called Asians nothing. To an Asian's face no less, as a number approached from all directions. Not including the Indian ones...

Que?

What a silly. I know a few people who will occasionally say that Asian is a language, among them my sister. I don't think she means it seriously... but I'm not sure.

Reminds me of a conversation I had down in Sydney town. My cousin was so good at science she wanted to be a scientologist. The whole train was cracking up.

I think this person is serious, but you never know. We spend most of our time insulting each other so...

Really inane nitpick but "Public School" in UKian actually means a participant in the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference

A selective fee-paying school is merely an "Independent school"

I am an old boy of one of the later so effectively one step up from chav

You're making me think of my friend who thought Frankenstein was Anne Frank's autobiography. A while back, we were on a bus and she spent the whole ride talking loudly about how much of a slut her sister was and talking to children. Just as we arrived at our destination, she said loudly "Yeah, but, um, I'm really shy" and the whole bus started laughing.

I believe immigration and multiculturalism destroys the local identities, cultures, languages, etc, of those areas/countries havily affected by it. I am against it, as you see, but I still think immigrants should be met with respect by the locals, and not be attacked due to the liberal immigration-policy the government has. Yet, they should still, if they refuse to, be forced to work for and contribute to the society like anybody else, and they should be forced to intigrate (learning the language, history, culture, etc) into the society even if they reject to do so. I do also believe that immigration should be very restricted, and, therfore, have to accept and support the term "Britain for British", and turn my back on immigrants in this case.

[The Truth and Light]

What is the OP even saying? Which is happening, segregation or integration?

You spelt colonise wrong.

I'm sure I saw that picture in another thread. And, hey, you need something to complain about.

That's what the French are for.


I'm going to pick through this for the fun of it.

In Britain some areas are being taken over by asians-

Not taken over. They don't have a brigade of foreign soldiers.

and making the Brits feel outnumbered so they move out and areas like Blackburn it's literally black street

And that's their fault? The Britons moved out.

British street and they bring over these burkas and speak asian

Asian is a language? The entire contineint has a language called Asian? Hmm, I've never heard someone speak Asian.

So we cannot intergrate with them so there is a lot of tension.

Why not, accept that they are different? Oh wait, that's impossible.

Then since no normal and non extreme politicians will sort it the bnp,

You want politics to get involved? No, no you don't.

Who plan to send them all home and bring back corporal punishment, are getting votes so immigrants that want to stay adapt to western culture ,wear western clothes , stop wearing the burka and speak English please.

Yes, because everyone (Namely the massive Indo-Briton population) are from nations with corporal punishment, corrupt dictatorships and lands fulll of dangerious drugs.
Why would you want to totally convert them? They are different, so are you, suck it up.

I do not consider myself a racist or vote for the bnp or care what your accusations are.

You know it's not a good sign when you end with "not caring about people's accusations".

Yes, this would have been more technically accurate (writes an old boy of a fee-paying school in Edinburgh).

It happens all the time, in similar situations. Compare Maori here in New Zealand (who arrived at around the same time-ish). Except it isn't okay to say they're immigrants because instead of being educated you're a racist. (Also note it's fine to call someone a Pakeha, a most ambiguous turn that many, such as myself, find offensive.) Basically it boils down to whatever point they're making at the time.

Hey, you forgot us Norwegians! We nearly conquered Britain in 1066, at the battle of Stamford Bridge... It wasn't only Danes who invaded Britain, you know!

TRUE STORY THAT HAPPENED TO ME:

British couple move to New Zealand.

ME: "So, what brings you to New Zealand?"

THEM: "Oh we were just so sick of the immigrants. It was all Pakis and Indians."

ME: "I can relate. We have an immigrant problem in New Zealand too. We keep getting all these racist bastards from England."

For some reason that was very funny. It was probably the joke.

More seriously I know who you are! Presenting Magaret Mutu! (A NZ reference.)

Remnds me of this German couple I met in Taihape, their daughter was named after a television character. (Is it just me, or do German girls walk really fast?)

Oh dear.

These public transport stories... You should have seen our year on the Sydney Excursion a month or two back. Twenty seventeen year old bush kids on a state transit bus at about 11.30 on a Wednesday night... Was classic.

True, but the basic point is that Britain's been subject to waves of immigrants for centuries. After all, the Scots were originally from Ireland.

And the Norwegians didn't 'almost' conquer Britain at Stamford Bridge; it was about as one-sided a rout as you're ever likely to see in medieval British history; largely because the Norwegians had taken most of their armour off due to the unseasonably warm weather. Out of an invasion fleet of 300 ships, only 24 returned to Norway. And even then Harald's claim to the throne was pitifully thin; he only invaded because Harold Godwinson's brother Tostig was in a snit and had asked for outside help.

[Volnotova]

I find the idea of a tsunami of immigrants engulfing and invading the UK to be somewhat of a hyperbole.

However, there is a problem with the integration of certain minority groups.

I attribute this due to the lack of national values, national cultures and national ideologies in the west and the isolation of certain groups from the rest of society(Ghettos, etc.), and the general acceptance for their absence and the isolation prevalent a great deal of the western world.

Personally I am in favour of appending a national culture, system of values and national ideology to the cultural fabric of the United Kingdom.
