What makes Great Britain 'Great'

Your finger is on the pulse of what people want to watch, do you work for Rockstar?

I suggest everyone watching it, brilliant balanced piece of work.

Rockstar documentary?

The BBC docu on Grand Theft Auto develepment was factually wrong

The documentary starring Harry Potter?

There is nothing funny about cheese and onion crisps… Or ignorance with respect to social benefits of cultural diversity

If that refers to me you won’t find a person who wants it to work more, nor am I ignorant either, i simply see it for what it is, an expensive failure and the want of people forming circles around their kith, kin and religion, been going on for centuries and nothing will change that. Throw into the mix books of bollocks and you are going to have issues.

You are missing the point Baz. It’s not a failure - normal intelligent people from all cultures have historically lived and learned from each other for donkeys years. Escalation of problems are not a result of multiculturalism . It’s what is being blamed because it’s an easy target - for those complete cunts who want to ignore reality and cause tensions and divisions.

It is a failure, as soon as culture comes into it it becomes a clash of them, fuck the culture and look at the person, speak as you find, people 3 generations in are still living in the same areas speaking their native tongue, thats not multiculturalism its absolute failure of it, sure when the shit hits the fan you will get the community singing we ae the World but when the camera stops rolling they go back to their commnunites or close the door not answering until the morning.

This is why UKIP is soaring and on the working left people are beginning to wake up and see this experiment has failed, go to Europe and see the rise of Nationlist parties there (they are extreme right and left there not knitting classes and sponge cakes like here)

**What causes tensions and divisions? **

…dear o dear… is it not bliningly obvious? What causes tension and division is unemployment, poverty, social exclusion. Those with racist and other prejudiced agendas then fill their boots by convincing the ignorant and gullable that its this ‘multiculturalism’, the influx of migrants, the ‘non native stealing our jobs’ - the usual ill-informed, waste of fucking space arsehole comments that sadly resonate with those who cant be arsed finding out the truth for themselves.

Poverty, unemployment and social exclusion are these days a consequence of the global economy and governments either not gving a shit as plays into their scaremongering hands, or more usually not having a fucking clue how to manage the national fiscal policy to cope appropriately.

It really is that simple - the complexities of economics, the social studies surrounding immigration and social cohesion are just pish from windbags looking to justify an opinion…

There has been no ‘multicultural experiement’ - not sure where you get this shit. It is another urban myth probably coined by the Daly Mail to worry the daft. We have lived in a country that is built on multiculturalism, from Romans, Picts, Celts, Saxons (Germans), Vikings, Angles, Normans historically and immigration from various former commonwealth coutries over the last 70 years. and thorughout that time, the only issues arrise when the econony is shit and we need someone to blame.

Its this diversity that makes Britain Great imho. Its the arseholes that look to spread their racist bigotry though soft channels, such as UKIP, or Britain First that make it Shit.

I agree with the above but you can’t let your liberalism blind you to the fact there are also dunes and Barrys in with the immigrants as well, especially when they have a religious belief to use to justify any action they take. The stickers around some areas of London (seen them myself) declaring areas as under Muslim law or the pics of groups pushing their hardline views don’t help and adds fuel to the fire of our own home grown idiots.

I dont disagree Tokes, but this radiculaization has not been created by living together - which we have done and most continue to do so over many years. Its been creted by those with political agendas. And young folk are particularly vunerable to the ‘rebel’ view - a fertile recruiting ground often relying on things as simple as teenage angst.

We must not confuse liberalism with naiviety - the problems are real for all to see. But it is wrong to suggest that the only solution is some sort of separation by culture. All that will breed is more fear and ignornance or even worse as we have see throughout history. Why Arabs and Israelis are separet dby a bloody great wall and what has than achieved for peace and harmony in the region? Maybe Bazza should explain?

Barry?

We’ve had multiculturalism for millennia. Babylon was famous for being the New York of the ancient world, comprised of people of different beliefs and faiths. The history of this island is one of continual migration, from the people who walked across Doggerland to the people that arrive on an easyJet from Gdansk today.

Historically, we also sought this shit out. We had a pretty big Empire for a couple of hundred years.

So let’s not pretend that the UK is an insular country. It hasn’t been for a long time, and it has always had to absorb other cultures, and besides, other countries with much less democratic structures than us have managed to incorporate different cultures.

My view is that multiculturalism isn’t actually a big problem, but is stirred up by elites to keep people casting envious sideways glances instead of looking up.

Dear oh dear, multiculturalism would be great if it worked, is hasn’t and me saying that doesn’t make me a racist or rabid facist, I am far from it. Do we all live together in a beautiful melting pot? Calling UKIP supporters 4 million of them arseholes is wholly intolerant and shall I say fascist, they don’t agree with you, I don’t agree with them or you.

No I mean Barry care to answer that?

Plus p.s quoting ukip numbers is not answering that. Their numbers are actually dramatically down. They are a dying party.

Are you confusing invasion and multiculturalism? How did the Romans, Normans, Saxons get here? Invitation? I suppose the Israelis land grabbing is another form of multiculturalism? The Chinese in Tibet?

Oh dear.

No, I’m saying it’s all stirred up and only the weak-minded fall for it.

Be a jedi, Bazza.

You are using an invasion to justify the benefits of multiculturalism? Ha ha, its what the invaders left behind, not whilst they were here, I think they subjugated the populace.
Fuck me dead.

Wasn’t it just a while ago Barry was saying citizen Pap wasn’t left wing enough? And now he appears to be a supporter/mouth piece for a party just to the right of the conservatives.

What happened Baz? Your Polish cleaner turn away your advances?
