If immigration was a slow process then the immigrants coming in would feel like they had to integrate in order to belong, but with the levels of mass immigration large communities have been born and therefore immigrants feel like they don't need to integrate.
Also in areas where there are a lot of immigrants where are all the former owners of these houses??? Well as soon as an area starts to get a large Asian population then all the white people scarper because suddenly they're in the minority and don't feel comfortable with that and need to move to where they're back in the majority. All their kids are pulled out the local school because there are too many Asian kids there and you end up with 99% Asian schools and 99% white schools literally hundreds of yards from each other. So the next generation of kids don't mix leading to more segregation of communities.
Integration doesn't work, multi-cultural-ism doesn't work (well not the way this and previous governments have tackled it).
multi-cultural-ism and integration would and could work if immigration had been controlled and thought about and immigrants had been given time for their communities to integrate with the existing communities instead of the mass immigration we got which threw it all out of kilter.

Spot on!!
But, lets be honest, This and previous gov have only let in immigrants to keep the wages of the working man down!
In the 50's they were not going to pay a decent wage for bus drivers etc, so they bought in the west Indians. More recently, Builders were starting to earn good money again after the 90's crash. They cant have the peasants doing to well, so we'll let in a load of cheap eastern euro labour, now the day rates are starting to fall because the Poles are undercutting everyone, well they can, they don't pay tax or VAT ffs.
At the end of the day successive Govt's are to blame not the immigrants.
This country is run for the rich, not the workers
