Although Muslims are probably the worst of them I'm starting to think its a bit lazy thought to focus on them. Id be pissed off of we were overwhelmed with Nigerian Christians, or Chinese Christians. Its less about religion and more about our native people being a majority and having the right to a home land. Maybe I'm just getting more radicalised! Just been up milk shop, 3 brown nurses or health workers all talking their own language. I was so close to politely explaining to them I find it rude that people live here and don't talk our language. Fair enough if holidaying but to live here and not talk english in public is just rude to me.
No problem with people speaking to others in there native tongue, but we do need to be more French like. If you deal with the state, English only.
I have heard a rumour that one of the first things the Welsh Nationalists have done now they control the Welsh Assembly, is to authorize £100k to have the Star Wars movie converted into Welsh. I am not sure that is what the population of Wales would consider to be a good use of funds when I hear what a shambles the Health Service is in there!!

I find it ignorant but tbf your idea is probably the sensible middle ground. Who here would honestly expect to move to Italy or China and have the state and healthcare provide translation services?! Its not like theyve been forced to come here and its not like we speak some obscure language either. English is the most used in the world.

I don't mind people speaking there own languages. You have to remember that In the grand scheme of things our culture and language and everything else that we feel is being invaded is actually pretty new. None of us here could understand English spoken a couple of hundred years ago, and you have to remember that English is a butchered mix of french German and Latin (french was the official language of Britain for 300 years). Likewise I don't consider slobing around in tracksuits, especially considering them smart enough to wear to weddings and the like to be very British. Nor do I consider the erosion of rights by our own government to be very British. I'm not saying that I approve of the mass migration. And even more so I disapprove of the birth rate of immigrants. But unfortunately any notion of ruining our culture is a fallacy as our culture is constantly evolving. And unfortunately I should think people for thousands of years have not liked how the culture has evolved.
I do think that if the government continue down there current path it will pave the way for civil unrest and open the door for unsavoury people to get into power.
And I wouldn't be surprised if this happened throughout Europe.

Not so much fussed with the language more the utter contempt for normal values and way of life in western civilization.
And for the record Europe is in a worst state than we are. Thank heck for the channel

Open the door? Have you forgotten Starmer, Reeves, Powell, need I go on? Civil unrest is nothing new, and I’d argue it’s nothing like as bad now as the poll tax riots, miners’ strikes, the inner city riots in the 80’s, and the Notting Hill carnival, which is basically civil unrest dressed up as festivities.

The utter contempt for values and way of life is not just an imported thing. I would say that the contempt is just as bad if not worse in a large portion of natives. We are experiencing idiocracy for real.

Whilst it's not new I feel it's different. Before they have been instant flare ups in isolated areas. Currently there is a slow simmering discourse across the whole nation. Pockets of trouble are easier to stop than a national movement

It's not just imported fully agree plenty of retarded native mongs about but importing 100s a day doesn't exactly help.
Well trodden ground ....but I do say that having visited the sw a lot over last few years there's massive variances in the density of said "newcomers" and that does tend to flavour ones viewpoint.
Looks like spreading them about throughout the country will help cohesion levels ...lol

Ethnically aren't we pretty similar to French and German. I imagine there's not too much problem integrating in these cases. It was like when the EU was just the big boys, you didn't get any mass movement of people because the countries were pretty similar economically. All of a sudden you open up to all the ex soviet states and you got them coming in droves for economic arbitrage. The country voted Brexit to stop this IMO and they they got the boris wave and endless 3rd world immigration. Not even just the boats, we have people coming here on skilled work visas for vapeshops, barber shops (surprise), taxi drivers. All kinds of silly jobs some idiot has just set up a business for. It's all a big immigration con job.

Then again. Just come back from a holiday in Scotland. And wondered who was happy to pay for all the road signs to also be written out in Gaelic considering 0% percent of Scottish people actually speak it as their only language and a tiny percent speak it as their main language. Perhaps the tourists like it, which I realise is probably one of Scotland's biggest economies.

Some areas on western isles speak it as main language and it is widely taught . However I can't abide the sign changes either ! What a waste of money . No problem with having them in both languages on new signs or as older ones are due to be replaced have dual languages but to spend the money to change every sign is a ridiculous Waste of cash .

The ***** are proposing banning modifications to older vehicles next year - if your car/van/truck/motorbike isn’t exactly as it left the factory it won’t pass an mot!
That’ll cover almost every motorbike on the road (non-standard exhausts), and will take many more perfectly serviceable vehicles directly to the scrap yard.

Nah, this is about adblue/dpf deletes.

From the article:

We are not seeking to prohibit all vehicle modifications. Our view is that vehicle alteration is a legitimate practice that has been embraced by car tuners, repairers and enthusiasts worldwide.

Additionally, we are not seeking to stop owners or businesses from installing parts that are generic rather than manufacturer-specific original equipment manufacturer (OEM), although we would advise that anyone installing parts to vehicles does check that they are legally approved for use. It is already illegal to fit or supply unsuitable or illegal vehicle parts and can be punished in the courts with an unlimited fine.



of course, if the emissions gubbins actually worked, people wouldn’t need to delete it!!!!

I`m not sure on light vehicles, but with trucks, the law stopped at Euro V, but it did not cover newer Euro VI trucks I read in the press some off this was to update to include these. No doubt they will also try and slip something in that will affect everything else.
