"There are lessons for us all here:

Wavey the racist dragon...?"...false and defamatory language from Ruth Archer/Joan Crumb who works for the National Council - who, in my opinion, should have words with her.

Volgadon (who somehow reposted what has been deleted?!): I'm no expert on Israeli music (although Inbal Dor has been on my myspace Top Friends for ages)...but am surprised that you seem to be suggesting there is no such thing?...

Granma of the "saggy old tits" - "Not sure what you Australians call it" (Granma)...so I have to repeat repeat that I'm an English repat - actually born in Manchester the day Alf Ramsey's English team won the world cup of football.

Don - "Are you there, David, or are you cowering under your bed?"...so I'm not allowed any kip nor to attend a folk club or a "Bare Knuckle Poetry Slam"!

Catspaw - more false and defamatory language from one who has both whinged about being deleted and almost pleaded for Mudcat to host my website.

Diane - more false and defamatory language: I'VE ONLY QUESTIONED THE ACT OF IMMIGRATION ITSELF - NOT WHERE IMMIGRANTS COME FROM/NOT ANY PARTICULAR CULTURE OR RACE!

"Look, David, I'm asking you a straight question. I know that this is stuff that you've talked about before, but I want to get you to state what your beliefs actually are. Ideally I'd like you to think about what your beliefs actually are, although I realise that may be a bit much to ask.

Never mind the UN. Never mind 'from now on'. Just answer the questions" (Pip)...yes it IS stuff I've talked about before!...and this is not a bit rich but very rich from the one who, I'm almost certain, earlier told me not to answer off-thread questions and asked for the "5000 Morris Dancers" thread to be placed in the BS section, for that very reasong...can you confirm it was you Pip - to save hours of trawling.

Now for those who cannot fathom -

David, let me put it like this. Is it true that England is currently a multi-cultural country? YES - THERE HAS BEEN NOW 50 YEARS OF MASS IMMIGRATION (MOSTLY ECONOMIC WHICH, SMOKEY, IS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH CAPITALIST IMMIGRATION - PEOPLE LEAVING THEIR LAND FOR A BETTER LIFE/TO GET RICH, ETC.).

Do you believe that trying to have a multiple number of cultures living under the one state law will always cause problems? YES - AS YOU DO KNOW.

Do you therefore believe that England should not be a multi-cultural country? ECONOMIC/CAPITALIST (NOT ALL) IMMIGRATION SHOULD STOP, AND THERE SHOULD BE ASSIMILATION INTO ENGLISH CULTURE AND VALUES - WHY COME TO ENGLAND IF AGAINST SUCH WAYS?

Is it true to say that cultures are carried, lived and perpetuated by people? YES

Do you therefore believe that people who don't have an English culture should not come to England? NO - BUT THOSE WHO DO (AS GENUINE ASSYLUM SEEKERS TO WHOM ENLAND IS THEIR NEAREST/ONE OF THEIR NEAREST SAFE COUNTRIES, E.G.,) SHOULD MAKE AN EFFORT TO LEARN THE LANGUAGE AND ASSIMILATE, AS ABOVE. (AND THIS IS HARDLY RADICAL - AFTER ALMOST A DECADE OF PRO-IMMIGRATIONISM AND PRO-DIVERSITY, EVEN NEW LABOUR ARE LEANING THIS WAY, WITH ENGLISH TESTS, ETC.)

Do you also believe that it would have been preferable if people who don't have an English culture had not come to England in the past? I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF THE ABOVE HAD COME INTO PRACTISE EARLIER.

Do you specifically believe that England would have been a better place if there had not been large-scale immigration of non-Europeans over the last 50 years? LARGE-SCALE IMMMIGRATION PER SE.

Now - what about Ralphie refusing to answer my reasonable request - NOT a threat and repeated 3 times above?! I.e.: my myspace music is so bad that he doesn't want me to attend his folk club - so, since I remain a keen English folkie, he better tell me which folk club it is...

Now, back on thread: at that above site, you may see and hear my beloved tenor recorder/English flute/"little organ" (William Shakespeare, Hamlet), which, to drop a clanger, is, in my opinion, a definite rival to the bell as Englands national musical instrument...
