Re: Multiculturalism is dangerous
It's a series of mono-cultures, with many of them hating other groups. It's far from all "cute and fluffy" between the various groups.

Re: Multiculturalism is dangerous
Whilst that still doesn’t answer either question, given my 4 years living there and my monthly trips to Leicester to be with my son, as someone with experience of the city I have seen none of this hate you speak of. And given the ex’s sister is a cop there, you’d think I’d be given some kind of heads up?

Am I wrong to say that there was much tension between Hindus and Muslims in Leicester?
Quote:
n August and September 2022, Leicester, England, saw a period of religious and ethnic tension between predominately British Hindus and British Muslims of South Asian origin. The unrest saw rioting, protest marches, sloganeering and ethnic violence between the two populations.

So how about the complete lack of rioting and fighting I see when I go up there each month? Not much coffee about in the air that I can see (or smell).

Sorry, but now you're getting to the silly stage.

Here’s what’s silly.
Person A going on a forum making a closed and generalised statement such as “Multiculturalism is dangerous” when person B has lived around multiculturalism for an extended period of time and over 10 years without witnessing any of the fighting or rioting person A claims is going on. No matter what person B states, person A tries to bend person B’s views to fit their opinion.
Person B concedes that SOME multiculturalism causes problems but no, that’s not good enough for person A who sticks to a deranged view that multiculturalism IS dangerous, going as far as starting an entire thread with that cock-eyed view.
Now THAT is silly.

I draw your attention to 100,000 people, of a specific culture, demonstrating in London, demanding the end of Israel, death to Jews and supporting the Hamas atrocities. !00,000 demonstrators are unmanageable and we thus find Jewish properties and the Cenotaph defiled and sprayed with red paint. The organisers want to march on Armistice day - obviously a deliberate spit into our cultural eye.
The Indians are not our enemy and your only potentially valid gripe is the title of this thread (which I've amended from this point).
Smell the coffee.

Re: Multiculturalism is dangerous
Oh ok so you think I only know/knew Indians from my time in Leicester?

There's no actual evidence in any of your claims about the 100,000 people. You are simply trying to smear them with anti-Semitism having been dog whistled by politicians who are doing similar.
Protesting a war taking place now the best time is, of course, now.

May I join in here?
No evidence of the cenotaph being sprayed with anything either.
But then again, we are apparently entering the “silly stage” which might explain your and my points.

Fancy me quoted the "Socialist Worker":
https://socialistworker.co.uk/palest...cross-britain/
Selective quote:
Quote:
Where next for the Palestine solidarity movement?
There is an explosive mood to act in solidarity with Palestine. Hundreds of thousands have taken to the streets on four successive Saturdays. And the numbers have grown—150,000 in London on 14 October, 300,000 on 21 October and 500,000 last Saturday.
This Saturday was smaller in London only because the main march organisers called on people to prioritise local actions—and those generally saw big turnouts. It is now crucial to build next Saturday’s march in London as a national focus and make it huge.
