Several of my smartest and most ambitious friends have emigrated from London to Aus and Japan. Destinations that have sensible immigration policies, and which have maintained their cultural integrity.
A country is not a country without borders. When I emigrate I will choose a country based on its singular culture, and crucially, how well it maintains that culture. Why would I choose a country that's right for me now but risks changing in the future when I have kids there?
Multi-ethnicity in London is great. Multiculturalism in London is a sickness. No one chooses to move here for "London's culture," because it doesn't have an identifiable culture. So people come here expecting to maintain their own culture in a bubble instead, resulting in ghettos, self-segregation and rising tension.
- caseydurfee 11y agoIs "sensible" a euphemism for "don't allow brown people in"? I've never heard Japan's immigration policies described as sensible before. Japan as a country is dying because of their low birthrate and overly restrictive immigration policies. What's sensible about that?
- cbeach 11y ago"Sensible" is a euphemism for "don't allow religious fundamentalists with a deep-seated hatred of the West in" Additionally, this demographic (I won't name the religion - I'm sure you know the one I'm describing) has a male unemployment rate of 50% and female unemployment rate of 75% in the UK. You don't die as a country through low birthrates - this could only happen in a bygone era that required massive labourforce, agriculture, factory work etc. No - the modern economy does not require "throwing bodies at the problem." We are entering the age of automation, a having more humans in a country is not as important as having the smartest humans to build the automation. In fact having more humans in the country just creates an aging population timebomb. This problem is confounded by immigration. Not resolved by immigration. Immigrants age just like the rest of us.
- mavdi 11y agoLiterally every statement in this comment of yours needs a reliable source.

- mavdi 11y agoYes but that includes none of the the statements you made. You said unemployment rate of Muslim women is 75%. According to this 29% of Muslim women are in full time employment compared to 50% of general population. Yet, unemployment rate of general population is not 50%. There is a huge different between lack of full time employment and unemployment. Every other statement after that is also utter nonsense pseudo opinion.
- cbeach 11y ago"More than half of Muslim men and three quarters of Muslim women are unemployed." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8054436/Indians-and-Chinese-get-better-jobs-than-white-British-men.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8054436/Indians-and-C...
- mavdi 11y agoYou're just pointing to the statistical bias in British media. There is a huge different between not being in FULL time employment and being unemployed. Since we're pointing at random articles: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-muslim-women-71-more-likely-to-be-unemployed-due-to-workplace-discrimination-10179033.html http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-musli... "The recent national Labour Force survey showed the unemployment rate among Muslim women was 18 per cent, compared with 9 per cent for Hindu women and 4 per cent for white Christian women." No doubt unemployment rate is higher for Muslim women, and it is a problem. But citing figures that out of your pocket isn't gonna help.
- JabavuAdams 11y agoAs a brown person, I'd really like to see people distinguish between race and culture. Culture is a much stronger predictor of behaviour and compatibility than race / skin colour.
- it_learnses 11y agoSo what if they have low birthrate? I love visiting Japan and quite enjoy their culture. I don't want them to change and become "multicultural" and lose their cultural identity. And as a brown person, I actually agree with him and the comment below. There is one particular religion and a majority of its followers that are fundamentally incompatible with the modern world.
- DDickson 11y agoHow outraged will you be when those sensible immigration policies reject your dirty London culture?
- chris_wot 11y agoIf you are pointing to Australia as an argument against multiculturalism, then you're pointing to the wrong country. Our society is one of the most multicultural in the world. And I have news for you - I have a number of friends who have moved to London for "London's culture".
