No wonder this country's lost it's own culture, I don't advocate abusing people but the mountains that are made out of mole hills these days is astounding

 

......you mean the bits of culture it didn't plunder from other countries?

 

 

Slightly off topic but it amuses me how it's okay for Scotland to be patriotic, Wales, any other country but if you say I'm proud to be English it's seen that you're probably racist and you have to have everyone else's cultures forced down your neck or risk being racist about that as well. I'm just curious really but I wonder how many English designed, Church of England churches have been built in countries like Pakistan? It's interesting that this country is apparently based on racism but yet some would have you believe others are not.

 

Try India it's full of English, French and Italian churches. With huge congragartions of Catholics etc..

One of the main reasons why England is so economically strong is due to our immigration policy. Many of the companies that contribute to this started in the 80's and 90's and are run by immigrants of various backgrounds.

 

 

That's a bit of a myth tbh.

 

Like the current cheap labour from eastern europe on the one hand it's having some postive effects on the economy right now (or at least staving off the worst of the negative ones), but conversly it's also storing up huge problems for the future.

 

We've actually benifited massively from globalisation in this country in the last 10-20 years, however the process of globalisation can only go on for so long and then it will begin to bit back (it already is in certain specific areas).

 

 

Robbing Peter to pay Paul to be frank, not a long term or sustainable policy at all.

I was just trying to get people to read Langston Hughes, and look what happened.
