People bang on about the UK being a multicultural society but you can’t have a multicultural society if certain sections don’t bother to integrate, learn the language, etc.
And regardless of what people say that is a massive issue.
I find a lot of people who are for people claiming asylum here without checks, coming across on dinghies etc are people who will never have to deal with the issues that these people bring. Where I used to live there was a massive issue with people who didn’t integrate and it caused so many problems. Walking down the street I was followed by men, I was told by them I should cover up, I was told I didn’t belong here etc.Then you’d get to the drs surgery and it was so overcrowded, lots of people couldn’t speak English and it would take ages to get checked in. I once had to queue for nearly 2 hours just to speak to a receptionist to check in! It’s madness.
The system doesn’t work, more people are going to get hurt, tensions are going to rise. That isn’t racism, that’s just looking at what’s happening.
I found that comment a bit disingenuous and attempting to pray on the peoples sympathies - there are fewer orphan children claiming asylum or crossing illegally than there are able bodied men.
Agree with the bit in bold (and all of it). Your eyes don’t lie; people can see what’s going on. Multi-culturalism is practically non-existent. There are multiple cultures but that doesn’t mean they mix. Most stay segregated.
Many choose not to learn the language. A colleague of mine is Bengali by birth; her family then claimed asylum in Italy. As soon as they were able to, they naturalised as Italian citizens and one of the first things they done after that was move to the UK.
Her nationality is Italian, her parents don’t speak Italian despite being Italian citizens. Her mum doesn’t speak English, she requires an interpreter every time she attends a hospital appointment and healthcare was the main reason behind their move to the UK.
This is my colleagues own words not my spin on it. My colleague says she is having an identity crisis; she doesn’t fit in with the Bengali community because she is, in their view too westernised, she doesn’t feel Italian because the whole time they lived in Italy, they didn’t absorb into that culture, and she doesn’t feel she fits in here in the UK either.
She has a good job, in the civil service, with an above UK average salary, and has never left London as she has no desire or interest to see any other part of the UK.
I’m sure this isn’t an isolated case. I feel sorry for her, but she clearly has no intention of integrating and her family’s only real reason for coming here was healthcare.
She said as soon as they became naturalised Italians, they began to go back to Bangladesh to visit family.
Is that the actions of people who were fleeing for their own safety?
