Multiculturalism working?

Yes why can’t muslims be as peaceful as Irish Catholics? What better example is there of respecting others beliefs and abiding by the culture of the majority than the way some Irish Catholics have behaved in Northern Ireland. There is also the message of peace and tolerance that was conveyed to this country by those nice Irish Catholics in the IRA.

Getting back to the point, I think bi-lingual signs are just a way of the council trying to be helpful towards an area that has a large Bangladeshi community which might have members within it who haven’t mastered English yet (just like Emma). You could argue that if a community wants bilingual signs then they should have to pay for it themselves or at least contribute towards the cost. Apart from that, I see no problem with bilingual signs. I’m sure that if you go abroad you will see English signs in areas that have a lot of English visitors.

Constantly having to bring up the atrocities of the catholic AND the protestants in Ireland is pretty typical isnt it ? Yet if you knew as much as you like to think, you would know that Ireland was a catholic countyr that was taken from the Irish by King William of Orange mant years ago…..slightly a different matter to learning to speak the language of the country you choose to make your home because you get a better benefit package isnt it ?? :roll:

I simply love my country!

If you did, you wouldn’t be spouting your racist garbage, to create social unrest,

Have you ever thought how many different races, religions are part of this country’s population, the Muslims are just one of those, grow up, stop acting like moron,

Why not attack the Jews, Israelis are a set of murdering terrorists, there are plenty of supporters of their terrorism, are you sure they don’t want to take over the country,

How can multiculturism work if idiots like you spout they’re garbage. its your kind that needs kicking out of the country.

Because his views , Tinker are the views of the silent majority in this country who have been downtrodden with threats of being labelled racist or whatever
Its ridiculous to even think of allowing immigrants here who cant speak and have no intention of learning this country’s language

To be allowed into this country everyone should be made to pay allegiance to the flag of this country – that should stretch to anti British bigots like yourself too Tinker , they shoudl be able to speak the language and agree to adhere to our rules and traditions and culture
If jews get upset by an old English lady having a det of China pigs on her window ledge – then they should eb told where to go , likewise those that object to the smell of bacon emitting from cafes etc – if they dont like it they know where to go
If its a rule to wear a crash helmet on a mototrcycle then you shoudl not be exempt because you wear a turban – take the bloody thing off if you want to ride a motorbike – or buy a car

Just Imagine one of us going to live in a foreign country and expecting them to change everything for us. It simply wouldnt happen. So why is this country different? Surely in a foreign country you abide by their laws and respect their culture.

You don’t get out much do you

Ever been to the Spanish Costa’s? Or Cyprus? Or the Greek islands? Or Wales? We superior English expect everyone to speak our language abroad and have every road sign, menu, guidebook, etc in English AND in the native tongue!

As Mr B says, Brick Lane has a high percentage of Bangladeshi, I don’t have a problem having a road sign with two languages- it makes sense and is practical.

Get out much ?? You really are showing your lack of education and total non understanding of what this thread is about aren’t you ?? The majority of the countries you have mentioned rely on our tourism !! If it wasnt for us they would still be digging water holes and washing in rivers !!! Get a grip and understand what the heck you’re spouting off about !! As for brick lane ?? Well im quite happy if they all fvck off back home cos in my opinion their not welcome here !! LONG LIVE THE WHITE SUPREMISTS !!!!
(If that dont pi ss him off nothing will!!)

Errr? You a multi user or just chose to answer a response to someone elses post? Ever been to the Costa del crime- where HALF A MILLION Brits LIVE (not tourists, but actually LIVE there), don’t think we have the monopoly on immigration- poor old Spain has to accept all us Brits who want to live somewhere hot (but without the Spanish food or language)

As I said before, I’d sooner see the Irish pi/ss off back to Ireland n take their oppressive, hypocritical religion with them

But if we’re tourists, it’s ok to expect the country to change beyond recognition to accomodate us- me, I’d rather travel a week around Andalucia on a train n see actually see a foreign country, not Blackpool with sun
