They are affecting the English way of life, is that the foreigners fault?? hell yes, and the wish washy Govts fault too.

As for Salmon Rushdie, he wrote a book ffs, so what?? Plenty books have been written about the Catholic Church, any death threats from the Pope?? thought not!

What exactly is the 'English way of Life'. I am never to sure. Is it our strong history of Art and Media? Because we still excel and that, even more so with immgration since many young Asians and Indians are our artists, actors, comedians and writers and they release their work under the British name.

Is it our food? Because last time I checked Britain seems to enjoy the wide choice of food that came with Chinese and Indian immigration?

What part of our british way of life is being affected. Unless you mean in a positive sense and then I would agree with you.

Dont be so naive,

Dont use cliches such as *insert some here* brigade. I assure you, I belong to no Brigades. Also notice how i dont group everyone as 'rightys'. (although if I did it may come across as positive! )

I am not being naive, I am asking a question. What is the British Life and what part of it is being affected.

Slightly off-topic, but a light intermezzo:

Anyone tried getting a tourist visa to the UK lately?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/6768405.stm

I wonder why this is? Are these tourists not contributing enough to the economy, or is it simply a case of 'we have too many tourists, period'?

"So, you want a tourist visa to visit the UK for tourism? Don't think we can have that, where would we be if we let tourists in?"

Womble makes reference to an "English way of life" which I'm sure is different to a British way of life.

To be fair, in both #44 and #46, we did ask Womble to define the English way of life, which he's yet to do, but assures us it's being "affected" by foreigners, just not how..

So Russ, being a foreigner, how are you affecting the English way of life?

Our freedom of speech for starters, ask Salmon! We now have ghettos
Brixton was a nice place to go, its not now! Need I go on??

So the English way of life is reliant on living in Brixton?
I'm pretty sure fish can't talk, but that's nothing to do with foreigners
Salman on the other hand, unless you can prove otherwise, still has the freedom of speech, his books are still available, he can still appear in interviews (with his own voice, no actors required).
Actually, that's interesting, Jerry Adams' freedom of speech was curtailed wasn't it? But not by foreigners, but by our government, in a ludicrous way in that they could get an actor to say his lines for him!
So, I ask you again, what is the English way of life?

Do we actually have a constitutionalised right to free speech? Can anyone find a link? Or is the whole freedom of speech thing just an American idea?

He's not English, therefore foreign to England, being Welsh, or are you accusing the Welsh of being English? I mean, I know Wales is really only a principality and not a proper country and all, but really, the Welsh are Welsh

You're the one who linked migrant workers to loss of freedom of speech.

Worked out a definition for the English way of life yet?
