Is this a thread regarding immigration?  

I am very left wing or at least consider myself to be but would never laugh at your view or dismiss it,everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I think a multicultural Britain is  very important as it makes us more tolerant and understanding of other cultures. Also it widens our own perception and enriches our lives to encounter different people with different cultures.

Human beings don't tend to sit still in one place and rot away, thank goodness. The ideal world of people who are against multiculturalism is a stagnant, boring place.

I think we perhaps define "multiculturalism" differently???

migrating around, interacting, learning from, sharing innovations etc is not multiculturalism...but trade???

multiculturalism...the enforced imposition of tolerance for the habits, religion, requirements, of a significantly large proportion of a "native" population. A REQUIREMENT to be careful of "their " sensitivities, even to the point of curbing our (admittedly at times sick) sense of humour. A continued attempt to bury the evident, obvious but closely covered wrongs that get perpetrated...with false figures and appeals to supposed "fairness".
