    There is nothing more British than having their Island invaded, conquered, and foreign culture imposed.

    The Anglos, Saxons, and Jutes, were German. The Normans were French Vikings. You know the reason William had a claim is because he was related to the very British King named Cnut.

    I would advise British people concerned about immigration to look to the example of Ireland, India, Pakistan, Palestine, and South Africa who maintained a distinct national culture despite being colonized by a violent and criminal nation bent on imposing it’s own culture.

      That’s probably why there are so many countries in the UK isn’t there? Because of a long history going back 1000’s of years. Maybe that’s entirely different to 1’s of years don’t you think?

      I think most people think French and Germans integrate a lot better into the UK than people from the third world. We don’t have cities that are know for all speaking French, or other cities where people walk around in Lederhosen. Not all immigration is the same.

      Need to look at Ireland really? No countries within the UK need to be looked at. Ireland is completely distinct from all other counties in the UK?

      Ireland, India, Pakistan, Palestine. What percentage of foreign born people live there? Even south Africa will have low foreign born population right?

      Ireland had riots about migrants last year didn’t they?

      You think Palestine and South Africa are good examples of what a country should want to become?
