Is it just me or do people on this forum make the UK seem like an extremely egotistical country.

(As in the people from the UK making the UK look bad with their warped ideals of how a country should be)

I never said it defined you all. But individuals from that country are creating negative stereotypes. That's really the only point I was making.

[lemons]

yes sometimes but usually as a joke or stereotypes

i live in london so i'm use to all cultures races and beliefs

unskilled British workers are being overlooked by companies which prefer to hire and advertise abroad simply because they can then avoid working regulations and the minimum wage

No they can't. If they do, that's illegal and not actually part of the system at all, therefore the jobs aren't being "taken" (not that they can be anyway, that's a ridiculous notion) in this scenario since they don't really exist

British people should celebrate being actual British and that should stay in the mainstream.

What, in your eyes, constitutes "being actual British"? Genuinely interested as this is something Dan often comes out with and then fails to elaborate on, so wondering if you can do it or if it's just baseless rhetoric used by bigots to justify not liking anything that they're not used to

I would say a British person is someone with at least one parent that's born in one of the countries in the UK and their parents and grandparents etc were* born to a British family. If that makes sense?

So not anything to do with some false notion of a "culture" that we all adhere to then, just a matter of heritage. That makes a lot more sense than what some people try to claim fair enough

No, every time I go into one of your threads and start spouting numbers I just make them up from the top of my head.

Also, are you saying that hundreds of thousands of alien cultures have come into the UK? And they're all damaging the 1, singular, British culture?

100,000 against 1? Really?

And not sure what me doing a degree has to do with it, but I've already graduated, so I'm not actually doing a degree anymore.

- - - Updated - - -

And if there's HUNDREDS of thousands of alien cultures, let's pick the smallest possible number of those: 100,000.

Then let's assume that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that isn't White British is some sort of foreign person that has some alien culture. Once again, this is an over exaggeration, because this means that of these 8.1 million people, it includes Black British, Asian British etc.

So these 8.1 million people have 100,000 alien cultures - that's an average of 81 people per culture. Then you would also need to assume that these people were all grouped together in the same part of the country, so if you had one alien culture in London, you wouldn't be able to find it in another part of the country.

So, we have an alien culture of 81 people, making the 1 British culture, which almost surely has more than 81 Brits in that area, made feel foreign? If anything, the large amounts of apparently alien cultures will make each other feel foreign?

Then of course if you take away the assumptions, so there's less than 8.1 million non-Brits, there's more than just the 100,000 alien cultures, and they are indeed spread over the country - kind of makes the whole hundreds of thousands of alien cultures part sound a bit not true.

Seriously, that must have been your biggest exaggeration ever.

My friend, you are talking rubbish and your argument can be debunked right here (first question)....

The argument as Douglas Murray says isn't that one person from a foreign culture is coming into this country, or even two or a hundred - the issue is that hundreds of thousands, even millions have come in (more from certain countries and cultures than others, ie Poland and Pakistan) and have settled together and basically colonised and ghettoised entire inner city areas. This in turn drives out the native population and culture, which prevents social integration taking place between the newcomers and the host country taking place.

Now, instead of talking garbage and skating around the issue - attempt to combat everything I just wrote.

Do you not believe that integration should take place?

Is it just me or do people on this forum make the UK seem like an extremely egotistical country.

(As in the people from the UK making the UK look bad with their warped ideals of how a country should be)

You consider the idea that immigrants should make efforts to integrate with the country they've moved to egotistical or bad?

nope i think the same and i live here. they disgust me. as u can see, there are literally 2 people with the 'british only' mentality in here and a dozen more who disagree, so don't think this egotistical nature defines us all plz

If nationality, culture and identity doesn't matter or even exist - why do you want Scottish independence?

No they can't. If they do, that's illegal and not actually part of the system at all, therefore the jobs aren't being "taken" (not that they can be anyway, that's a ridiculous notion) in this scenario since they don't really exist

Well actually, you're wrong there. Whilst it may be illegal, it is almost impossible to police due to EU open borders which mean anybody can move in and as it is all done off the books (a key feature of the third world) it's impossible to even track.

Added to that, the last government even went out of it's way to bring more people in: https://www.google.co.uk/?gws_rd=cr&...search+parties

And also, you asked somewhere what British culture can even be defined as despite me answering this a few times. It's speaking the English language. It's the Monarchy. It's our concept of common law and liberty. It's our humour, our cuisine. Our faith. It's our tales, poems and folklore. It's our accents. It's our adversial political system. It's our shared bond with the Anglosphere. It's our sense of history and identity. It's the sacrifices that generations have made in past wars. It's our music, it's our writings, it's our philisophy, our sports, our pub culture, it's our scientific achievements, our architecture........ and I could go on and on and on.

You will not hide behind the idea that we don't have a culture worth defending and preserving because we bloody well do.

er yes theres about 2 members that have that opinion on here, but a lot more that disagree and think everything being said is pathetic

Opinion polling across Britain regularly shows a large majority believing that immigration is the number one issue facing the country, with increasing numbers (and a comfortable majority) wanting tighter immigration controls.

So whilst the tumblr crew on here may think they are the majority, you really aren't out there in the real world.
