Multiculturalism has failed, says Angela Merkel. Has it failed in Britain?

"The Approach to build a multicultural society and live side by side has failed, utterly failed". Says Ms. Merkel. Has it failed in Britain? Particularly when we remember that all of the 7/7 bombers were British born? It appears the bombers had no allegiance to this country.
I think it has failed, just as it has in Germany.

THE. All of the above!Grin OK, I'll give it a go.......you are C.

TethHearseEnd · 20/10/2010 14:16

Wrong! Three more guesses...

And why aren't you at work, eh? Wink

complimentary · 20/10/2010 14:18

THE. Actually thought you were a teacher (another poster). Smile

complimentary · 20/10/2010 14:23

I'm not at work because I don't like it, even though I have a nanny, one must have ones free time! Now you've made me think perhaps I should return and join the hallowed ranks of the employed, or should I say with the cuts, the unemployed.

Ok another go, you could be a) and F, working as well! Grin Am I close?

TethHearseEnd · 20/10/2010 15:27

Our survey says... UH-UHHHH Grin

You should have trusted your first instinct, I am a teacher- a part time one.

I wouldn't bother working if I were you. Besides, what could you do? I'm not sure the race relations board has any jobs going at the moment... Wink

TEH. I could apply for a post at the Equal Opps Board, on second thoughts no, they cost the taxpayer millions and the public knows little of what they actually do. I don't really need to be paid for my vast array of skills, so I could do voluntary work for the home office. Wouldn't cost them a penny, and I could be stationed at Gatwick, Stanstead, Luton. Grin

mycounty · 20/10/2010 16:49

DP. I don't get it? Is this person meant to reach out to the general public and teach them about 'diversity'? and anyhow why does she have to be a lesbian? The mind boggles....

Oh and back to schools.... Where did Diane Abbott send her child?

Did he go to a school where half the kids can't speak English?......

Ohhhhh Nooooo

List me all the Labour MPs who have kids at these schools...... it won't take you long.

complimentary · 20/10/2010 17:30

DP. You know very well that MPs always state, "Dont' do as I do" but, "do a you're told!" Hypocrites. Another hypocrite is Straw, preachs diversity, multiculturalism, and then pens himself into the leafy and very white Cotswolds! Smile

daftpunk · 20/10/2010 17:45

Have you ever read the job section of the guardian?

Lesbian outreach diversity trainer is the sort of job title you see in there all the time. I think it was an actual job ( probably on £50,000 pa)
Those jobs have now gone, due to the need to stop wasting money. So, these people will now have to work in tescos like 1000's of other people.....on £12,000 pa.

Last weeks news actually, more to do with all the quangos that are going.

daftpunk · 20/10/2010 17:48

Exactly complimentary. They shove it all on us but have nothing to do with it themselves.

complimentary · 20/10/2010 18:22

Glad, they are having the bonfire of the quangos, all these jobs being paid for with taxpayers money. Most people I know would like money spent on children disadvantaged/disabled. Not advertising for vacancies in jobs that we don't need. At least the coalition has had the balls to stand up, be counted, and speak for the people! Grin

complimentary · 20/10/2010 18:26

DP. No, I have not read the job section of the Guardian, (not for many years) perhaps I should for a laugh. I don't want anyone seeing me read it tho, they might think I'm left wing!

Quattrocento · 20/10/2010 18:41

I can't stand reading the Guardian. It starts the day all wrong IMO.

Whinge, Groan, Blame the Middle Classes, Abolish Foxhunting, Whinge, Groan, The Problem is Not Enough Money is Being Thrown at the Problem (despite all evidence to the contrary) Whinge, Groan etc ad infinitum

Not that I believe for one second that the fascists on the thread are remotely employable

daftpunk · 20/10/2010 18:43

Tbh cmplimentary, 'new' Labour weren't really left-wing, they were airheads and full of shite. (Peter Mandelson, Harriet Harman....perleez) doubt they even know what egalitarian means.

daftpunk · 20/10/2010 18:51

Actually QC, I'm chatting to one of my lesbian mates on facebook atm, she's in a band y'know.... we talk a lot.
