The problem with your position Keith is this:-

There are areas of the country where the chance of having a muslim as your neighbour is pretty remote. Plus there are people who alive (myself included) who have seen the population of this country go from less than fifty million to where we are now- they've seen the economic make up of the country change (not always to their liking) and they blame it on the immigrants. And it disinclines them to mix with the new settlers and their families.

All in all - it is a climate of ignorance.

From the other side too. People who try and bring the values of rural villages in the subcontinent to to the busy towns and cities of England. Bloody tough on their kids.

But they ain't all scroungers and perverts, and we ain't all paki-bashers.

Keep banging on about the what's seriously fucked up about the present situation is not helping anyone - least of all yourself.
