Loading ...As a limey down under, I’d like to think so but it’s difficult to see how it will happen. So much migration of vastly different cultures unlike anything before. When we had black people from the Caribbean come, they were already british, but still with their own sub-culture. Many Pakistani and Indian people in the 20th century still came with an element of British culture and norms. But the mass, unchecked, unregulated influx of the last few years under govts of both sides (hohoho, one side, different colours: a chameleon government) is likely to change things for ever. No sub-cultures here, no assimilation but insistence on their own culture. I was back in Rochdale, my home town, in 2008 and already there were no-go areas controlled by Muslim Pakistanis, no assimilation there. The funniest thing was the Sikh taxi driver (it was unsafe to walk home from the pub) complaining bitterly about all the foreigners in Rochdale nowadays – in his heavy Indian accent! And that’s fine; hard working migrants wanting to live in Rochdale as Rochdalians and contribute to society are welcome, rather than running white girl grooming and rape gangs.
And now you can’t even complain about it. How can it ever change? Especially with two tier Keir at the helm. So sad.
