I'm glad I don't consider myself to be British anymore, I would be ashamed to death.

No surprise at all to learn that 'the accused' is British born. If, as a country, you do everything possible to deny there is an Enemy Within, don't be surprised if that problem flourishes and grows. The Useful Idiots and Obfuscators have naturally assisted in this process massively.

Social media still talking about the Muslim named by Ch4 yesterday, which they later had to retract with an apology saying he was in prison. If it turns out to be him after all what the hell is going on? What a fiasco! The police know who the murderer is, he was known to intelligence, so let the public know as well.

What you have to realise is that there is no such thing as Britain anymore
It is divided from top to bottom and east and west . They believe different things in all aspects of life politically , culturally , in religion and values from the most important and trivial even in things that can lead to death and in the freedoms of democratic life, Everyone is different , they are not the same either inwardly or outwardly There is no such thing as being British, look around, listen to what people say, listen to what they believe, it will have nothing to do with you . |

I saw a video of people running away from the site and it was clear there weren't many natives among them. I don't know much about British history but can we pinpoint a certain event after which the multi-culturalism started? Was there a point where people said we 'welcome' immigrants or was there a point where they said we 'need' immigrants?
|

By:
and how did you know who were the British?

the natives as you call them

By:
I dont know who the british were. or the natives. But im just wondering if there was a starting point to the influx of asian and african people into britain(assuming these people are the trouble makers) and if that influx was more of a we are being nice to them or we fecking need them?
Like if you talk about Germany, you'll see so many Turks here that they think its their right to hold political activities in Germany for elections in Turkey. And we know we invited them here in the 60s because we fecking needed labour. Did something similar happen in Britain? I know that many people in the subcontinent were awarded land in Britain because the british govt needed to acquire their land in the subcontinent. That explains why they are into their third and fourth generations. Did anything else happen? |

well I think you are wrong about Germany, and I suppose you will think I am wrong about Britain

The right wing is ISIS's ally in this country, they are so easily manipulated. |

Any news of the reported 'accomplice' that was supposedly in the killer car with the 'accused'?
There was a lot of talk yesterday (admittedly from over-excited TV tabloid 'journalists') that there was a 'bald white man' seen beside the other occupant of the car. Needless to say the 'bald white man' was hurriedly promoted to pre-eminence in the terror event in the bits I saw. Any news of this missing man, or was he just a hitch-hiker being given a lift to Westminster by the helpful killer driver? He surely can't have disappeared into thin air? |
|
By:
no there was no similar event, of course people will say we needed NHS workers from abroad in the 1950s
I suppose that might be possible, but we seem to still be needing them today and that makes me suspicious that they maybe hadn't thought about anything very logically I don't know why |
|
By:
Is there any immigration into Germany today detraveller ? They will have a new reason this time perhaps
|

By:
Those thousands , millions? of Turkish workers that Germany needed
how was that, did they all find employment? |

I'll try and answer your question as best I can, Det.
The two main events which changed this country were WW2 and the dismantling of the British Empire. We had to rebuild after the war with reduced manpower and no money and the peoples of the former empire were given the option of claiming a British passport. I was born in an industrial city close to the end of the war in 1945 and until about the age of ten the only foreigners I saw were either Polish or Irish. The first commonwealth immigrants were from the Caribbean in the 50s and 60s and they were mainly employed in the growing numbers of factory jobs and the health service. On a personal note, my wife came here as a trainee nurse in the late 60s. There were also a growing number of immigrants from India and Pakistan (Bangladesh being East Pakistan at that time). I saw many Sikhs working on the buses for example. A big influx occurred when Idi Amin gained control of Uganda and expelled many of the Asians from that country. Many came here looking for asylum and created many businesses. Around this time the Government changed the status of the passport qualifications for foreigners in an attempt to stem the flow. Different governments have had different attitudes towards immigration and the Blair governments from 1997 to 2010 appear to have had an almost open door policy as the numbers swelled significantly during that period. I don't claim to have any special knowledge about this and some may disagree with my conclusions so let's hear from them. |

------------- Precisely because BLAIR knew that they would all be told to, and so do, vote LABOUR. |

The guardian dare not open a comments column despite numerous topic headlines and stories. They are more concerned about writing articles about the Right wing(?) using the situation.
But odd how most other newspapers have opened comment columns I wonder why this might be. |

By:
Not sure what's worse, an immigrant doing that or a UK passport holder doing it.
The fact that a British citizen would want attack people in such a cowardly way then storm Parliament makes me lean towards the latter. I think 12 nationalities are represented among the victims. One can only hope the disdain for Islam will grow across the world. |
