London CONGRATS

[TwistedElegance™]

Why is it progress? The vast majority of London is a minority now. He just got the ethnic vote. That's not progress, just hypocrisy. 

This is NOT the way most Brits want to go, but it's happening all across the country. The establishment want to call it multicultural and diversity. It's not, it's CHANGING the country to become something other than its heritage. 

The focus is always on changing the west. Why not the focus and pressure on the rest of the world, most of which is backwards and very discrimatory. Real progress would be seeing the Muslim faith progress about 1000 years and Middle East become more like the west. How many Muslim nations have elected a white Christian? 

Sadiq is still the worst thing to happen to London. He's Labour, he's a friend of Corbyn and ed Miliband and he's a massive socialist. Hes been seen on stage 9 times with extremists.

not here for it. Sorry. 

 

Your reasons are stifling. To make the distinction between diversity and changing the country as you have is totally problematic. They are the same thing and both should be embraced as the same thing, because change and multiculturalism is a crucial element of social evolution. To deny that it is progress is downright bigotry.

There is more pressure on the western world to be inclusive because it is still regarded as a place of hope and happiness to nationalities a lot less fortunate than us. You're sounding conspicuously backwards and discriminatory yourself.

I'm amazed at how gullible people are.

There is a difference between being "inclusive" and having to deal with 350,000 new immigrants a year coming to a tiny island like Britain who want everything for close to nothing. There's a lack of school places for english children now, the national health service is struggling, towns across the UK are changing to become unrecognisable. Instead of more churches, more mosques are being built. The same is happening across Europe. In Austria, their beautiful coffee houses and being replaced by turkish supermarkets to appease the immigrants. 

You may say who cares, but this stuff is OUR culture and OUR heritage. It has gone way passed cohesive inclusion. It is nearly becoming an invasion. 

It is not racist to feel this way.

I'm pretty sure european imperialists said to their imperial subjects "Change is good", but most countries didn't like it did they, they wanted their own culture, religion and independence from us. And the Europeans are no different to that rule. 

I am not happy about the way it's heading. Lots of people are not happy about it. They just don't talk about it in public because they are frightened self righteous people like you and 'game' will call them a racist or a bigot. 

It's awfully presumptuous to claim immigrants want everything for nothing. It's generalising and degrading. Perhaps if a tiny island like Britain didn't bomb their homeland they wouldn't have to "deal" with so many refugees. But living under white supremacy means fewer people understand the vicious cycle of immigration than should. You'll get no sympathy from me on churches vs. mosques. All religion is a hoax so I don't see how your temples are any more valid than theirs. Your people, your culture and your heritage are just fine.

I'm probably just as happy to be labelled self-righteous as you are to use words like "invasion". Ignorant comments like that and the rest of your half-truths don't represent the silent majority so if you're concerned by being called a bigot then don't be one.

The silent majority feels like I do. It's talked about at the dinner tables all across the country. 

I have a very simple question. Would you like to see your country become an Islamic state??

You don't sit at dinner tables all across the country. You're speculating.

Obviously I wouldn't. Have you always been an alarmist?

why wouldn't you want your country to be Islamic? Why is it obvious?

Sadiq Khan is British born and bred, and he has just as much right as any white British person to be mayor. Stay pressed. 

Born yes, not bred. His parents are from Pakistan. I was born in England, doesn't make me English. My parents are scottish and it has been that way for centuries. Yes he was born and grew up in England and so he has legal rights but it doesn't genetically make him british. 

[Freexone1]

Word!!!!!! 

Too bad he's a "danger" to white heritage aka 500 years of conquering the world of white people

Bringing democracy and capitalism to much of it. To nations that as a result today have prospered to become exemplary models of the free world. United States, Australia, Canada etc. Countries colonised, not invaded. But many countries did not welcome it and quite right! They didn't want the change because they had a different heritage and culture. 

That is what I'm defending. 

[TwistedElegance™]

why wouldn't you want your country to be Islamic? Why is it obvious?

Because I don't believe in prayer, fasting or the religious duties of Sharia law. It's obvious because the term Islamic State refers specifically to extremists. Who would want that?

He is British. I am British. Your fears and ignorance will not change that. 

Go listen to Rhythm Nation 1814.

lol. How can you not see your own hypocrity. You are calling it extremism when it is actually another culture.  Many of the immigrants you say are good for inclusivity in the west come from countries where sharia is applied. Guess you're a bigot too then.

Also I love that you ignored how he voted for gay marriage (along with many of the other Muslim MP's in Parliament). I guess it doesn't matter that he's more progressive than your stereotype of Muslims or than the 160 white people that voted against gay marriage, he's brown and he isn't indigenous to here (who is?), so he can't be a mayor.

Anyway, are you voting to Brexit or remain? I'm undecided.

Islamic State is extremism. Islam refers to the religion and culture of Muslims. There's a difference.

You're thinking of ISIS. I'm not taking about that, I'm talking about legit nation stats whose laws are Islamic. Doesn't matter if they are secular, their laws are not european democratic.

[Utopia]

Better late than never but it's kinda pathetic for a country as multi cultural as the UK to only be able to say this in 2016.

None of the EU countries are doing better btw.

I'm not a racist. Colour of skin is irrelevant to me. I don't see it. I just don't believe multiculturalism works and I disdain how much it has been shoved down british people's throats since Tony Blair opened the door wide for everyone to come in and then started a war. 

Who is indigenous? Lots of people. I am. I have ancestory in britain before the union was even formed. 400 years +. 

Sadiq may have voted in favour of gay marriage but I don't personally think he's honest or to be trust. I feel the same about Zac Goldsmith to an extent as well and he is white.

And I'llbe voting to leave as the most democratic choice. We can control our borders. Immigration can be good but not in the numbers now. They are much too high. They are not integrating. We never had this problem with Italians or Jews.

News just out: Austrian chancellor resigns due to his failure to tackle the refugee crisis and social cohesion.

A few posts ago I mentioned problems in Austria/Europe and the anger around the issues.

Well the term has a double meaning. My answer is still no. I wouldn't want to live under Islam or any other religious law. Are you seriously feeling as if your system of beliefs is under threat?

Religion has shaped most countries in the world, especially in the west, all the way back to Magna Carta. America bases its constitution on Magna Carta. There are not many places you could go to get away from. But I'd much rather live in a country where Christianity is the official religion than Islam. I do believe yes that these Christian influenced and secular values are under threat if the current situation continues to worsen and our politicians don't take real action.
