Do you not remember the incident in Germany where "refugee" gangs raped and molested women? What is more subjective for us, reports from various institutions, the media or what we actually see, hear have relevant experience of? Saga_Lout is correct when he says that gangs (in his case Afghans) are using force to commit rape/sexual assualt and which the police turn their eyes away so that they are not deemed "institutionally racist". Think of all the girl victims of the grooming people that were let down by the many institutions of this country. Standards have dropped dramatically, and will continue to do so, due the racial (and other pressures) card and such. Diversity means division and as it has happened on our watch we can see the difference since, say, the 50's (a much more fragmented society).

Indeed, do you ever visit Wales or Scotland? Finally, I guess Ravinder and I should not be expecting to be included in your Christmas wishes message? |

This 'diversity' claptrap thing interests me. It only goes to force people to join what are essentially gangs of argumentative attention seekers. And most of them have nothing new to say, still less to contribute, to the human condition.
Can we ever expect to be once again a constituent and singular part of the human race? And stop all this splintering divisiveness?

Diversity is a great thing, thank goodness we are in the early part of the 21st century and not stuck in the middle of the last century |

[QUOTE=wraymond;2910160]Yes, but it's not good English! As I have said, an influx cannot enter a country because it's an abstract - and anyway, it's a noun, not a pronoun

I suspect that your hypothetical mass migration from Aus/NZ would meet a different reception, because people from those countries - like western European countries - share a broadly common background in terms of values and beliefs. There would be much less of 'the fear of people who are different'. The big irony of this is that Brexit promised the prospect of taking back control of our borders. Overlooking for a moment the fact that we could have had complete control of our borders even within the EU, all that has actually changed is that we have lost a great many EU migrants who worked hard at many of the useful but difficult jobs which many Brits don't fancy, whereas the situation with immigrants from elsewhere hasn't changed at all! |
