Question for My British Friends

Allah-O-Akbar
What is with all this anti-diversity rhetoric I’m hearing from the UK? It appears that even voices that should be championing diversity are claiming that it is a social experiment that has failed.
I came across this site that some of you may be interested in – Hope Not Hate.

It’s not exactly anti-diversity,more a growing realisation that we cannot continue to sustain the current level of immigration into a bankrupt country that has too few resources for the people who are already here. To carry on such a manner is against all common sense. Some people try to turn these concerns into racial issues as a way of stifling debate. Yet their whole counter argument begins and ends at shouting “RACIST!” It’s not about that. It’s about trying to preserve the quality of life for those already here – regardless of race,regardless of whether they are indigenous or not.
Add to that;many of those coming into the country have no desire whatsoever to integrate,would rather – and often succeed via the weakness of governments and the intrusive European Court Of Human rights – our own “british” way of life be eroded in order to conform with theirs. The issue: they CHOSE to leave their country of origin and settle here,no one forced them into it,and yet refuse to even acknowledge “When in Rome…”
As far as I’m aware,there is no other country that has an open-door policy on immigration. They also have safeguards such as those entering the country must have already arranged employment for themselves,be able to speak the language,swear an oath of allegiance to their new country,so on and so forth. Were I to try to emigrate to the U.S.A it would not be an easy process,and there’s NO WAY I would then,upon my arrival,be set up with a free house and an endless supply of benefits,as happens here. I can’t blame them for taking advantage of this;this fault lies entirely with our goverments. And sometimes I wonder if it has all been an accident at all,since a side-effect of this policy has been to actually stir up antagonism where at first there was none. Heaven forbid people should unite.
Fortunately,some are now seeing that more should be done to prevent this kind of unsustainable direction.
It all depends on whether we are in a period of economic growth or not. During growth times, like post war, the immigration doors are thrown wide open, because we need many workers from overseas, not just highly qualified, but also people to do the shitty jobs that the white Brits don’t want to do. But during periods of economic stagnation, like the present time, only the chosen few manage to squeeze in, very often highly qualified people. But it won’t last. Britain has always needed people from overseas. More people leave the UK each year than enter.
What I am talking about is attitude not geographical movement. Our very make up as a human depends a lot on our cultural heritage. It appears that there is a movement that wants to force people to give up their culture just because they move from one geographical location to another. I understand that there are some facets of culture that have legal repercussions.
I grew up in Nevada listening to people who moved here always say “Well we don’t do it that way where I come from” to which I would reply “Then I think you should move back there because this is the way we do it here”. I feel the same when it comes to countries.
My opinion on people and their culture is that if they want to retain their homeland culture then they should stay in their homeland. If, for whatever reason, they cannot stay in their homeland, then if their culture contradicts with the culture of where they end up, they can keep their culture to themselves or give it up. No country should be expected to adapt or modify their ways to accommodate immigrating populations’ cultures.
On that link you quote above: http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/
There are links to the BNP – The British Nationalist Party, and they are a minority far right fascist party who do not represent the majority of British people and will never get elected here. I had the misfortune of being physically attacked by members of this party when I was a student campaigning for equal rights. They are utterly detestable and have no place in a civilised society. Just why you chose to feature this link as representative of Britain I do not know.
We have no laws here against the culture of other people. We do draw the line at stoning people to death and that sort of thing. As for wearing a burka or any other religious or cultural dress, people are free to choose what to do. In fact Britain is the most supportive of cultural diversity in the whole of Europe, and we certainly do not have as much anti-Islamic hatred going on here as you do in the US, from what I can gather
