Why Wont There Be Riot Over The Immigration Cap??
Why wont there be riot over the proposed immigration cap like the tuition fees today?
I personally hate this anti-multiculturist attitude the right wingers have in this country. If we could have thousands of people marching up and down the country over this I think we could really benefit.
Multiculturism is our greatest strength and many young people do not like this old outgrown attitude of 'stopping' other people from living here who wish to. I think we need to change this policy and maybe ease the attempted restrictions that this government is trying to do. Multurculturism will dry up otherwise!

The social experiment of multiculturalism has failed; its death throes will be uncomfortable and probably violent, but it will end, and as soon as it does this country can start to rebuild itself and be great again.
The problem is the debate itself as most people think "muliculturism" = multi-races when it doesn't. The US for example have mulitraces but don't have mulitculturism to the extent we do.
I have no problem with mulit-races (more than one race living in GB), multi-religionism, multi-skin-toneism or whatever..
I do have an issue with multiculturism however, which in its puraity allows people to have any view and carry out practice so long as other people in their culture have done the same in the past.
Personally I don't see the difference in Muslims promoting arranged marraiges because it's "tradition" and white people promoting an all white Britain for the same reason. Given that arranged marraiges ensure a 99% probabilty of two people of the same race and culture marrying I see this as racism hiding behind tradition. Both are illogical and unreasonable but one is acceptd whilst the other isn't.
For example, by saying you support multiculrism you are not saying you agree with the notion that people of all races/religions can come here but that you agree with that AND that those peoples can hold legitimately homophobic, sexist, racist and another immoral view so long as it's within their culture/history.
Multiculturism is the reason why we put up with Muslims, Christians and Catholics saying gay people are doing evil.
Multiculturism dictates that laughing at the notion of getting 72 virgins when you die is offensive, despite the fact it is a ridicoulous suggestion...
Multiculterism is responsible for the killing of free thought and promotes the ideas of often archaic religious ideas.
Again, I feel I must re-iterate...multiculterism and multi-racialism are two serperate things. I have no problem with people of any religion or skin tone coming here; but I do not expect them to expect us to shit our laws and moral views if they want to indulge in something that doesn't fi t with our modern moral code.
It may have changed once or twice since forming in 1707. It's still the UK.
Like it or not, Britain becoming majority non-white would be a much bigger change than anything that happended herre since 1707....
Because most people don't feel it is of any great benefit to them to have alot of people let into the country to compete with them for jobs/housing/services etc and the "benefit" of a new curry shops opening up down the street isn't enough off set the issue of additional migration.
You shall be pleased however to note that it seems that many "cultures" are being kept alive and this "multi-cultural" isn't drying up and is in fact become much more apparent as integration is the only thing that is drying up.
larger than the Industrial Revolution?
the rise and fall of the British Empire?
I find that hard to believe....
Quite right.
But the multicultural agenda of the last government is the main driving force behind that government's immigration policy; a policy that has done more harm than good in recent years.
For the reasons spoonfulofsense has touched on multiculturalism is not, as the OP has claimed, our biggest strength. In fact in terms of social cohesion, freedom of speech, tolerance and the social and economic mobility of people from different ethno-cultural origins it is the biggest threat we face.
While immigration and multiculturalism are indeed different they are also intrinsically linked, at the moment, in this country.
No it doesn't. People are entitled to do anything they want within the law. If it is against the law, then it doesn't matter what their ancestral culture dictates, it would not be allowed.
If you mean pure multicultualism with multi-personal laws for each group, then that is not a situation that exists in the UK, and so there is no issue to have with it.
Absurd logic that can be applied to any same-race union.
Thought crime?
And then:
Multiculturalism doesn't necessarily do any of those things. I would say that multiculturalism would make a country more tolerant of other cultures. It won't be perfect as within every group there'll be Little Englanders, Little Asianers, and Little Afro-Carribeaners etc etc.
But if you took multiculturalism to an extreme then I'd probably agree it does more harm than good. I don't think such a situation exists though.
Immigration probably just helps to keep multiculturalism going.
I rather think that's what people like the OP want. They hate Britain and all it once stood for.
My dad came from Jamaica, he came over in the 60's, so I'm born from an immigrant.
Immigration is a good thing on the whole because you get to meet people from different countries, but..........
Britain needs the best immigrants, ones who wish to be a part of our society and contribute.
Also this country is only so big and a cap is a very sensiable idea. Don't put a stop to it, just control it, a bit like Australia from what I hear.
But does this cap only apply to non EU people?
Can people from the EU come and go freely?
If so that should change, but as were a part of the EU i guess the horse has bolted on that one!!
BTW my sister in law to be is from Lithuania, she's lovely, so this is not about hating any forgeiners, it's about having common sense.:D
What are the "best" immigrants? Presumably your father and sister-in-law fall in that category?
What makes them the best in comparison to other people?
It could save the immigration agency a lot of work finding them, kettle and mass deport, could save the country millions.
Sorry I mean no criminal convictions, eg: rape, murder etc, that's what I mean.
Also if you have some savingsto bring over with you to get you started, whilst setting.
We got enough losers and lay abouts in this country, we don't want no more
BTW you need to chill out little dude
I always get the feeling if you're not all for mass immagration, no holds barred you get labled a racist, which is so not true for many people who hold the same view as myself.
I'm fine thanks - just wanted to know what constitutes in your view the "best" immigrants.
I presume your father and sister-in-law had savings when they came here?
No, we can't.
But we DO need immigrants who wil create wealth, jobs, and contribute to the economy.
Some sort of controlled immigration is required. Unfortunately, given the lack of intelligence of most UK, Daily Mail-reading folk these days, they don't seem to understand that.
