Whether you are a silver surfer or not, it is not wrong to expect people in your own country to live by the same norms and standards as you and collectively to think in similar ways for common goals. If everyone has their own culture and does their own thing, how can our British society continue?

People should integrate, speak English and there shouldn't be segregated areas but people should also be able to retain their own culture as far as is it is compatible with liberal Western society.
The country would be a monotonous bore if people were made to be the same. The examples you gave at the top of his post: the Irish, the Caribbeans and the Indians have given great things to Britain and our society. Food, music and art have all had influences from these immigrant communities. If they were made to comply with what is British and were made to think in 'similar ways' then that would be terrible and destructive to our culture. It would just die a slow death and fail to evolve.
Besides British culture was all for importing different cultural influences long before immigration, i.e Empire.
I don't really think this has a lot to do with Leaving either. Vote Leave haven't really pushed the culture thing and many have even indicated more immigration from outside the EU from places which are
less culturally similar than many European nations.
