Multiculturalism is dangerous

[Mr K]

The name calling of remoaners, woke etc, have proven to be empty words from those who have nothing to offer themselves, and to deflect from the real issues facing people. Divide and conquer always works and has for over a decade with this Govt.

The NHS will cease to function if the current immigration proposals actually happen. However those with a bit of cash will be OK, as they have been over the last 13 years and that's the main thing.

It's not multiculturalism that's dangerous it's the present government.

Yes, members of the current government use terms such as wokerati as part of their divisive culture wars. Culture wars, anti benefit claimants, anti-asylum seekers etc all works as a distraction from Tory failures.

I really don't get their stance on immigration. One moment, high net immigration is all because of free movement in the EU, then its students daring to stay for the length of their course and then it's 700,000 non-Europeans in one year. The government looks desperately for ways of discouraging people coming here to work, setting up mean and cruel barriers and completely missing the elephant in the room the whole time.

The elephant in the room is the lack of trained people already in this country. Leavers, this government and, most employers and, I fear, Starmer, do not seem to realise that if we educated and trained our own people there would be less vacancies unfilled and, therefore, lo and behold, less immigration. Of course, this government has failed to overhaul and properly fund our education, training and qualification systems for 13 years now. Why are they surprised that immigration has soared and it wasn't the EU causing it? I suspect they knew all along that the EU didn't cause high net immigration. They needed to assert that lie to persuade folk to vote Leave.

Much like all the woke fans endlessly spouting this as if its a defence.
Doctor who went super woke, and super preachy, your just too blind to see it.

Firstly I have no issues with multiculturalism or any diversity. Nothing to do with being too blind to see it. It doesn't affect me negatively like all those that do have issues.

Secondly as someone with sight issues and being partially sighted I do take offence though to your attempt to turn sight into a joke.

It’s both.

If Paul knew you were partially sighted then you would have cause to be offended. I didn't know.

To blind to see it, is a commonly used phrase, same as can't see the wood for the trees.

If you're offended in this instance, that's totally subjective to you and nothing that anyone else should care a jot about.

Now that we have notice of your impairment, we can be more careful in the future.

Why did I never get any hassle from the many many Muslims I lived and worked alongside when I lived in Leicester for 4 years?

Maybe I intimidated them too much do you think?

You're right; I have no idea how much/little you intimidated the many Muslims you worked alongside in Leicester for 4 years.

My point is about 300,000 Muslims marching through London. Very intimidating especially because police could not protect the nearby public.

Thank you - that’s all we needed to hear, although you have dodged the question I actually asked.

For the avoidance of others being misled, I said:

And for the avoidance of any further avoidance from you I originally asked (several times) without getting any straight answer…

Perhaps because you're the one claiming they're a big problem and yet peoples lived experiences seem at odds with that
