So basically because other people make stupid off topic remarks in this thread you feel the need to follow in their footsteps do you?

You compound this ovine behaviour by quoting a person so totally out of touch with political reality that even Pauline Hanson, who once wore a burqa on the floor of the Senate as a stunt, called his speech "appalling". Astounding!

To be fair Gummy, muliticuturalism is just another made up word that doesn't mean very much. Here in the UK we have had people from different cultures for many years & they have never been a problem!

As soon as another silly word " racism" was used in law, people started to recognize that they could claim "racism" as the reason they didn't get a house , or a job or good service at a restaurant... and used it to claim unfair treatment. The word has now become a derogatory word to most...so all British political parties go out of their way to demonstrate that they are not racist.

It didn't matter to most people till Isis threatened to fill Europe with Muslim "refugees" ( most of whom were economic migrants from North Africa). It was an intentional act, to make sure there were many Muslims in Europe, to create a Caliphate.
Of course there are some decent Muslim people who come here to be part of British life ,but when we had millions of them trying to get into Europe illegally ( some of whom proved to be terrorist). That is when multiculturalism became a dirty word here, and there is a strong belief that terrorist leaders & radical Muslim's will still try to make Europe their Caliphate.
British people do not want Sharia law to be practiced here, and anyway much of it is against British law. That is why most of us will not welcome radical Muslims to Britain , so can put us under the heading of "anti-multiculturalism", if they wish!
I don't care whether we are multicultural or not, I just want Britain to be a safe place for decent people to live!

Two countries who at least are proud of their culture / heritage and refuse to accept any cobblers from the EU / Islam, or economic migrants.

The Government have finally managed to beat out of me the last bit of patriotism I had left.
We do not want to be in this country any more. It won't happen for a few years yet, but we are off!!
I envy you. Watched this and came to same conclusion.

It's surprising Cinders, just how many people agree with Hungary's stance, along with some other Eastern European countries.
They are not prepared to have their culture diluted, or appease minorities. I think they're quite right.
Trouble is, we had multiculturalism forced down our throats and are constantly TOLD how great it is.

In Slovakia for example, there are no Mosques. They will not allow them to be built.

Interesting how East Europe used to be far more repressed than the West. I can foresee the situation being reversed in the not too distant future.

Re: Had enough of the UK

I suppose a simple question might be: "is the world ready for multicultural communities all over or prefer to retain their own national identities??"
