Britain Launches War on Multiculturalism
Gatestone Institute ^ | February 24, 2012 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 03/26/2012 8:48:48 AM PDT by LucianOfSamasota

"We have even tolerated these segregated communities behaving in ways that run completely counter to our values. ... I believe a genuinely liberal country... believes in certain values and actively promotes them." -- David Cameron

The British government has unveiled a new "integration strategy" designed to "champion a united British identity."

The new policy will require immigrants seeking admission to live in the United Kingdom to learn English and adhere to "mainstream" British culture and values such as democracy and the rule of law.

The measures represent a continuation of recent efforts by the government to reverse decades of state-sponsored multicultural policies that have allowed Muslim immigrants to avoid integration and establish a parallel society in Britain.

Somebody is grinding up some logic juice and slipping it into their bangers.

Moslims are not interested in permanently adopting any identity that is not compatible with Islam.

That's why God created "self-deportation."

Once the immigrant is in the country how do police his entry in to mainstream British culture and how do you monitor his adherence to the rule of law in his personal life?

At least one element of that question is obvious :

On a deportation ship within 48 hours, to be dumped somewhere along the west coast of the Malagasy Republic, where they can demonstrate to their heart's content.

Even if they wanted to change it, they would simply be overridden by the EU courts. They gave away their right to make their own laws.

This remains a farce by the liberal Cameron, who is simply playing Sarkozy lie-book. Speaking the truth remains a crime in the EU province of Britain. Cameron refuses to allow the serfs to vote on being subjects of the EU. And Cameron does nothing about the flood of immigrants, which will have native Brits be a minority in 2 or 3 generations.

For this reason, well known “ghettos” of particular peoples need to be broken up, sliced into pieces with “internal walls” of different people forming a boundary between them.


Won’t work.

How do you think that these ghettos wre constructed in the first place? Non-Muslim businesses were boycotted and assaulted (or even torched) until they moved out so that Muslims could take over the space. Non-Muslim neighbors were harassed, children were assaulted by gangs of Muslim boys, girls and women were gang raped until they left (e.g., because they dressed like “whores”).

Trying to break up a Muslim neighborhood by moving in non-Muslims would result in the above behaviors driving them out again in a short period of time.

Yes... but the Isle of Man went downhill and kowtowed to PC when it abandoned birching as a court ordered punishment in 1976.

In the 60’s it was probably the safest holiday spot in all of the UK.

Cameron saying this is like Pelosi claiming Obamacare will take good care of the elderly. He’s saying it because he knows Brits are tired of being pushed around and losing their freedoms. He does not mean it.

Those who won't or cannot be assimilated should be harried out of the land.

I think Great Britain should dump their parliament and go back to using Kings and Queens to run their country. They seemed to be a much better nation when they were run by kings, at least for most of history:) Just keep those kings away from the US!

That is why a lot of planning must go into doing this properly. That the locals might benefit from the process is incidental, compared to dividing the ghetto, which is the main objective. So no reason to not just put an “industry” there with solid walls, guarded entrances and exits.

Nothing to burn, possibly even putting spray nozzles high up on the walls to spray paint over any graffiti. And graffiti artist.

If there are things like projects in the ghetto, those must be gradually gentrified. Replace them with one story buildings that are more manageable.

Really? Well I know this much, Britain owned about half the world and the countries that they eventually relinquished after the monarchy was castrated have mostly devolved into savagery and their main Islands are shot through with Muslims who practice Sharia law and do what ever the he** they want. How much worse off could they be? Their navy sucks and their military over all is only a fraction of what it was only a mere 60 years ago.

They have sunk most of the way into communism and now they have the Muslims to contend with also.

Terrorist don’t protest in the streets.

Once they have citizenship they can do most anything they like. You can’t deport a citizen for exercising their right to free speech or petitioning the government.

The monarchy was held to account in 1215 in England (the Magna Carta), in Scotland in 1320 by the Declaration of Arbroath, and most famously in the 1640’s by Oliver Cromwell and the Parliamentarians.

Parliaments have existed in the UK for 800 years. Thank god. Britain at times in its history was ruined by brutal kings who believed in divine rule and restricted the basic freedoms of the people.

The British Empire flourised from the 17th to mid 20th C, and the restriction of monarchial power and the expansion of parliamentary power has a great deal to do with that.

Muslims do not own Britain, and Sharia Law is only allowed in five English cities, and is legally curtailed, like Jewish Beth Din law, to civil cases. Therefore the vast majority of UK Muslims have no access to it.

The Royal Navy, like all the British armed forces, has been reduced, due to national debt, but it does not ‘suck’. As a proud Brit, who has served in the armed forces, I take great offence to such a comment. The British armed forces are still a superbly trained and well led force that is still one of the things that makes this country still great.

The British armed forces, man for man, pound for pound, is as good as any in the world and better than 99.99%. We may not be the biggest anymore, but we are pound for pound as good as any.

As to ‘communism’, no Britain didnt sink into communism. Like many Americans, you cannot grasp the difference between socialism and communism. Both badly flawed systems, but communism is different and much worse. Britain post 1945 in many areas of life embraced a well meaning and attractive socialism, one that looked to sort the problems of poverty, race, gender, sexuality, education, immigration etc. What it actually created was serious social problems, be it education, multiculturalism, poverty etc.

We are now seeing the sad ‘fruits’ of that failed idea. And we have only really realised in hindsight in the last 15-20 years the damage done.
