Quaint,
When the media start asking about the migrants and their behaviour instead of focussing on the border situation.
I do consider that we have created a very serious problem by allowing such a fast influx of very large numbers. As a mongrel nation we are made up of people from all over the place. However in the past, those influxes of people have been smaller and much slower allowing the new arrivals time to assimilate into the host culture.
This recent influx, both those invited by Blair and the present refugee crisis, have allowed the new arrivals to create self sustaining ghettoes that hold to the ideas and cultures of the place they left behind. the problem being that those cultural norms are at odds with British culture, particularly with regards to the treatment of women.
The situation is made worse when well intended people say the new arrivals are allowed to express their own culture and traditions without addressing the conflict between the indigenous culture and that of the new arrivals.
The problem now is how to address the situation. Do we say, as an imigrant you have a duty to adopt the culture of the place you have arrived at? Or do we allow what is by our standards, criminal and discriminatory behaviour to continue?
