So Dave has decided that 'multiculturalism' has failed. Leaving aside the question of what 'multiculturalism' is meant to be, it's good to know that Dave has now come to the same conclusion that most of the population of the UK came to years ago.
I really don't care what people do in their private lives and if they want to indulge in cultural activities from other places, that fine. What I don't accept is people living in this country without accepting the values of this country; this is the issue that Norman Tebbit was so reviled for when he referred to immigrants not supporting the England cricket team. At the time, political correctness required that Tebbit was wrong though he was clearly right.
Immigrants to Britain must accept our values and mores. They must accept that they no longer have the right to live as they did in whatever country they came from. Immigrants who are granted British citizenship, and all second generation immigrants, must see themselves as British, not as Pakistani, Indian, Greek, Australian, Chinese or anything else. They must learn our language and the nonsense of having to provide special help for hordes of immigrants who have made no attempt to learn English must end. We cannot have a state in which mutiple groupings set up enclaves in which they try to recreate their countries of distant origin and carry on as if they were still there.
Britain has one Community, not many; there is no Pakistani or Greek community, nor any other. The sooner our leaders truly ackknowledge and act upon this fact, the better.
