AND THERE SHOULD BE ASSIMILATION INTO ENGLISH CULTURE AND VALUES - WHY COME TO ENGLAND IF AGAINST SUCH WAYS?

WAV - I was born in England and I'm against the ways you speak of. Most of us are, which is why we welcomed the immigration which swamped the reactionary mono-cultural shit-hole of pre-1960s England with something meaningful. Immigration gave doddering grey depressed old post-war England hope in the form of diversity, life, music, flavour, colour, pattern, dance, humanity, richness, and all level of joyous wonder. Without immigration, England had no culture worth a shit. In the 1950s English Traditional Music was a seriously endangered species; no one wanted to know. Now, it's doing rather better - never better in fact, never better in the whole of English history - not that I give a flying fuck about English history because my life is right here, right now, in October 2008. I personally thank immigration for this; I thank the influx of pure colour in every sense of the word that illuminated this grey monochrome flavourless bland as boiled fucking cabbage country and let people see that they too had something worth singing and playing, something to be proud of, something truly amazing in terms of Their Own Good Culture which is what we've got now. No going back. Not now. Not ever. We're long past that - and getting further away from it with each death and each new birth, with each new bright-eyed arrival that looks only to the future, not the past.

To pinch a phrase from the Native Americans. We have not inherited this England of ours from our mono-cultural monochrome forebears; we have borrowed it from our multi-cultural rainbow children. And whilst my children may hate folk music (and I hate it too as much as I love it) they love life, and they love hip-hop, and The Mighty Boosh and all the other stuff I'll never understand, but I'll accept and love it with an open heart because it's theirs - OURS - and there's nothing you can do about it for all your drab and dreary mealy-mouthed euphemistic propagandising other than mire yourself ever deeper in the personal misery which is, after all, your choice.

So, in the light of the above, let's look that that above quote again, shall we?

AND THERE SHOULD BE ASSIMILATION INTO ENGLISH CULTURE AND VALUES - WHY COME TO ENGLAND IF AGAINST SUCH WAYS?

Because this is precisely what you've done, WAV. You've come to Our Good England, and you're totally against the ways of OUR own good multi-cultural society into which you've so steadfastly refused to assimilate, actively promoting your specious lies and discord, filled as you are with the bitter and determined hatred that underwrites your every word. But as you promote such vile reactionary anachronistic bullshit, then so people will oppose it, and they will do so with increasing and entirely justified vehemence until either you fuck off back to Australia, or else learn the error of your ways. Maybe then you might find your efforts at repatriation will, at last, yield some fruits.
