Very well put Darcy, not untill its put down in words do you have to admits how true most of what you say is.
But that is multiculturisum for you, on one hand dispising it all, and on the other hand embracing all the benefits of different food outlets etc.
As for imports, well its long gone since we made anything in mass production of electricals or cars like we did in the past.
We rely on more things from imports, than we actually produce or need. We are in control of less and less of out own destiny as years go by, and have become a service, financal and entertainment society with a very limited manufacturing base.
We are driven by world events rather than creating our own situations, and governed by financal greed from those in high places. rather than a more caring society of the past.
Our too free society has on one hand led to the morale injustic and disproportion of wealth on a big scale over the years, the credit crunch being some proof of that. With most things watered down to a level of a morale injustice free for all on many occassions, with limited hard a fast adheard to rules for all to live by.
The majority of us are treated with contempt by those with power, who seem to think they a have golden right to extract wealth beyond the dreams of the rest of us, and recieved on the backs of the people working below them. Social injustice contracts of employment to those at the top never equalled to those workers beneath them, are growing bigger as time goes by.
We can`t just live on imports forever including fuel and gas and electricity, it is not a sustainable or relieable way to live by, as we are wide open to increase costs or withdrawal of these imports in such a volatile world. The oil price being a prime example. Our whole UK way of life is balanced on probabilty from so many sources out of our control, including a natural disaster or a war ....and like sods law it will no doubt turn and bite us in the future..... as you can never assume anything forever.

And no doubt eventually Britain will have to go snivelling - cap in hand - to either the Europeans or the Americans to take us in. Waifs in the storm.

Yes, Chandos, I had noticed the Americanisms creeping in:
Thank you to all for your kind `welcome backs’, but you have rather put me on the spot. I just popped in while passing and am pretty much out of synch with what you guys have been getting up to although a quick read back today has filled me in a little. I still have limited time available and family priorities to which I must attend. I may try to chip in a bit more, for what’s its worth. You guys seem to have it mostly covered.
Not blokes, or chaps, or even fellows, but 'you guys'? Very American. ![Stick out tongue <img src=]() " src="/cs/emoticons/emotion-4.gif">

That's the Moonbat philosophy in a nutshell. Ask 'em to say exactly how our culture has been "enriched" by mass immigration, all they can come up with is "different food outlets".
I'd swap every foreign restaurant for an end to the knife and gun culture our immigrant communities have brought.
Islam is like whisky.
Some drink it neat.

....is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then on the way home grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab, to sit on a Swedish sofa and watch American shows on a Japanese TV while declairing suspicion of anything foreign.
Only in Britain can you get an Italian pizza to your home faster than an ambulance. Only in Britain do banks leave both doors open while chaining the pens to the counter, and supermarkets make sick people walk to the back of the shop for prescriptions while healthy people buy their fags at the front.
We might be British but God do we make the rest of the planet laugh!

This is nonsense. You can do most of these in Jakarta (if not more examples of magpie culture) and no one questions the national identity of the Javanese. I dare say the same applies to many or most other countries.
National identity is about much more than the above, just as has been pointed out, we might expect more from multicultural life than a few food outlets.
If you have to ask about national or regional identity then it is possible that you will never feel it.Or it could be that you are one of those who think it is intellectually superior to "knock" that which is familiar.

But be careful about displaying the national flag....

I never stole your flag, I just rescued it from the gutter where you left it.
For the truth go to www.bnp.org.uk
just a link, like Denise has.
