Thread Name: English Folk Degree?
Subject: RE: English Folk Degree?
"To Volgadon: if immigration to England slows down, there will be more assimilation, things will become less multicultural, and I think that would be better/more peaceful."
So, you DON'T want a multicultural England. Why couldn't you just come right out and say so? I'd respect your opinions a lot more if you were honest and open.
What happens if the UN says let's INCREASE immigration to England?
Anyway, who wants a remote organization to take control of immigration. Things will get worse, as the world is too VAST for one organization to deal with. Immigration will end up being decided on even more of an arbitrary basis.

Richard Bridge, there is equal opportunity. If you want to take the modules, take them. Maybe out of 500 students you will only get five who specialise in English music, but they will be dedicated enthusiasts. I'd rather have those five than 500 resentful students who now loathe the sight and sound of English music because they were force-fed it. Hopefuly more universities across the country will open up programs like the Newcastle one.
