Ake, I'm sorry to have annoyed you with that post, but after reading the following comments,I had the impression that you were a little bir right of centre. They seem fairly typical of the racism I have encountered;

"the Indian and Pakistani communities have no wish to integrate!! And have no wish to dilute their culture."

"multiculturalism is simply not working in the UK"

I would much prefer to be a "wet behind the ears would be intellectual" than someone who makes comments like this about ENTIRE groups of people;

"They distrust one another and despise the Scots"


"Maybe when you grow up" - Mate, I'm old enough to have my own opinions. I'm sorry your heyday was in the 60's, and it must be difficult to keep up. This comment really does say a lot about the chip on your shoulder.

I never said Ealing was the cutting edge, I was merely giving an example of an integrated, multicultural society that you have claimed 'isn't working'.

I'm back up in Scotland on Friday. Should be great. Next time I'm in Glasgow (July) we should meet up for a pint.
