I rather remember that survey being heavily criticised for its methodology, but it's definitely true that there are significant populations like that.
Part of the problem is lack of integration, though. "British Culture" doesn't really exist in the first place - it's been a hodge-podge of cultures mashed together for centuries. But when you essentially have muslim ghettos forming in places like Bradford and some boroughs of London, where there is zero integration between "Locals" and immigrants, then radical cultures will start to take sway. This has been caused by poor planning right from the top of the central government right down to local government. But it's something nobody wants to talk about and do something about, which is definitely a problem, because soon those places will become so separated they'll be like the bainlieux of Paris or Molenbeek of Brussels.
Greater integration and education is needed to help prevent this, but the thing needed above all else is a solution to the Housing Crisis. A lot of these immigrants are moving in together in those houses because there is nowhere for them to live. Locals are obviously not doing that, so the housing crisis locks them out of that area too. Until a government finally admits that private house construction is never going to replace the massive loss of public housing that Right to Buy and the end of new council house construction has caused, there will not be a solution to the housing crisis OR the potential ghetto issues.
That's actually very worrying, but at the same time there are still many muslims with good morals so I don't believe muslims arent a part of British culture
As a socialist, member of Labour, member of Momentum, and hard-line leftist, I'm voting Out. Not because of immigration; but because of TTIP. European solidarity died when the ECB & The Commission shafted a democratically elected government in Greece last year. Tear the whole rotten thing down and start it again.
i mean, empathy is theoretically a good thing to factor in to decisions concerning the lives of many people that are not you, so if the person you're arguing for can't even keep a believable ruse of possessing some, that doesn't bode well for you
migrants needing hospital care from british hospitals will put more of a strain on public services, so leaving the eu would be better than staying because it means we would receive less migrants
i don't understand what you were trying to say if what i said isn't an answer your point
i looked into empathy, it doesn't look like something you'd want to base your country's policies around
it's not the actions of a few, it's the actions of more than a few. i've spoken with three germans (separately) about this and all of them said that they and their peers were unhappy at the numbers of refugees being let into the country. even if letting a million migrants into britain meant one woman got it wouldn't be worth it
i don't know how you can say that because other countries are taking refugees, we should too. the more refugees that are let in the lower the british people's quality of life will drop, because less money will be available to be spent per person. i don't know about the last bit about boris johnson.
maybe you'll be less of a socialist when you start paying taxes
i don't know what you're trying to say but the point being made is that the eu is ruled undemocratically, which is bad
i don't think that this is true and the point being made is that being in the eu means that we're being ruled by people that we don't elect which i think is a relevant point because i'd rather be ruled by people that i did elect rather than people i didn't
i doubt that you can articulate why you think that, because the only reason that you think that is because it's a position which will win you some social brownie points in left wing circles
i'm not sure that i know what you mean but you might be saying that it's ok to be part of the eu because we can choose to not follow the laws set by the eu but that's not true and if it were true then what's the point in staying in the eu
