Multiculturalism - change is in the air

[Ken L]

Angela Merkel was the first major western leader to acknowlege that multiculturalism has failed and now it seems that David Cameron has woken up to the truth as well.

 

The bleating has already stated with the (unelected) "muslim council" having a moan and i'm quite sure that the usual bleeding hearts who confuse culture with race will start very soon too.

 

I'll be more impressed when Cameron takes a firm stance on faith schools and madrassas that are teaching isolationism, ethnic/religious superiority and intolerance as part of their cirriculums.

Hopefully the funding for all the various (except indiginous) exclusive "cultural asociations" that have their hands in the puplic pocket will also come to an end as will the free translation services for people who have lived here for 40 years.

I'd scrap or at least remove funding from all religious schools, no matter what version of the invisible friend they advocate. School should be about education, not indoctrination.

In my lifetime the biggest culprit in funding the minority interest brigade was Ken Livingstone, who seemed to think it was appropriate to grant funding to any group capable of making a noise and delivering votes to his tribe - unless they were white, male and heterosexual.

 

Typical of the point I'm making:

Their mistake, those who make political comment on 'multiculturalism' is that they havn't proposed what their definition of the term is. they won't, because there isn't an agreed one.

I don't blow the religious trumpet but in all fairness we would not be where we are today if it had not been for the early religious schools.

 

Providing a school is giving a good education where lies the problem?

 

The only problem I see is when schools teach the gospel of hate and we are better than thou.

We have always been a multicultural society, and to say that 'it' isn't working is to say that the whole project of Britain hasn't worked.

Terms of reference, you could say that English language is not the main spoken word on the tube. Don't ask me what the main one is, 'cos it's all foreign to me.
