STILL can't help yourself.
(Your fault for drawing my attention to this thread !)
There you go again.Only a know-nothing racist could dismiss this as a "social experiment".
Typical of your strawman arguments.What actually happened is that after the end of WW2 ......
..... anybody anywhere in the British Empire could be a British citizen.
This wasn't done as a social experiment but as an attempt to hold onto Empire.
Seriously.... can you imagine Mrs T saying "gotta wear the pants...." ???I think you'll find, Tarian, that Margaret Thatcher said herself:
"I'm either the witch or Lady Macbeth of English politics, but someone gotta wear the pants in England when others wearing kilts."
VG did not mention WW2, He did not mention the Windrush Generation.

None of the websites repeating this "quote" have a date or place of origin.
No doubt you'll provide the evidence .... as you always do .
Where is your evidence that "most people associate the "word"..."Buddha
Your fault for inviting me to read this thread....
There you go again.
Accusing someone of being "racist" for alluding to mass immigration
HOW IS THAT "RACIST" ????????????????????
Typical of your strawman arguments.
VG did not mention WW2, He did not mention the Windrush Generation.
It would be clear to most people (isn't that one of your belittling devices.....)
....that VG was referring to more recent, large scale migration - and the rise of "multi-culturalism" as distinct from perhaps "assimilation" that went before.
Most people associate the word "multi-cultural" as coming to prominence during the Blair years.
Until 2004, annual, net immigration was around 30,000 p.a. - a number that could managed - without raising house prices or pressuring public services.
Where is your evidence that "most people associate the "word"..."
What proof do you have about the impact of immigration on house prices post 2004?
Don't fret as I am sure he'll come back with some statistics or facts from some obscure publication to prove his statements. I might disagree with the likes of VG/3x6/pledge, buy, fk me, at least they show some feeling/emotionLol, mehmets. Hoisted by his own petard!

He's very analytical but he also seems to be devoid of any emotion.
And someone decided that Britain was to become a social experiment , a multicultural paradise. With different cultures , came different values. The indigenous population wasn't asked if they want it , or even consulted. From the seeds sewn back then , we are now beginning to reap the harvest.
From what I see of people I think we have a bit of issue with parenting in this country. At Tesco I regularly see parents regularly interact with their kids in an awful manner, if they're interacting at all. Not to mention the parents behaviour is often shocking. Those kids essentially have no chance with their formative years in that environment.
I don't really know how to help many of those families though. You can try and give them money/help to improve quality of life for the kids but I don't know how effective it is. A lot of our customers use the school food vouchers that have been in the newa so much. Quite a few are clearly not using them for their intended purpose. Had a debate today with a mum who had a £60 voucher and wanted to buy £20 of food (only sweets and fizzy drinks) and £40 of booze. Thankfully the vouchers don't work if they try and buy alcohol. She couldn't comprehend this at all. Even saying "these are school meal vouchers to help you feed your children, you are trying to buy spirits which they are not meant for" didn't work - her response was "but I want to spend it on the bottles".
Even worse was the other day a woman, who had their kids there, was gonna by £10 of food with the voucher and £10 of cigarettes with cash. No matter what we tried we could not get the voucher to work and were genuinely empathetic. She starting effing and blinding about how she couldn't feed her kids now. We apologised as much as we could and told her who she needs to contact for more help. Do you know what she did in the end? Told us to keep the food and bought the cigarettes with the cash instead
Tl;dr
Obviously the above are fairly extreme examples, and the majority are not like that, but how do you help those that don't want to be helped? It's all very well people blaming the government and its agencies but you can keep giving people more and more but it makes no difference if the parents don't prioritise their kids. These people will have no problem with leaving shit and rubbish behind on beaches. They won't care about others and that's if they even thought about them anyway.
Anyone see the article on the KM about the train packed with people from London to Margate during coronavirus? Irresponsible folk who think "They're going to the beach so why can't I?". Tossers.
Ps, much though I'm desperatr foe the pub, a Saturday restart seems ludicrous to me.
Couldn't agree more. Going to pop to Borough for a couple with the chaps early afternoon and then retreat to the safety of home.
It's got "disorder" stamped all over it.
