I see, that makes more sense to me now, thanks.
I guess you would probably call me a xenophobe but I think the word 'xenophobe' is an oft abused and very negative label. I see myself as more of an anti-multi-culturalist!

You may think multiculturalism is benign, respecting all cultures, but it's not. Each region has its culture, that's what binds a country together, what unites the people, something they have in common, something shared.
Multiculturalism says we have to have all cultures in one country, all separate, all with their own values, standards and religion, all with their own idea of how to behave. This then leads to a society full of divisions, ethnic and religious ghettoes, the opposite of integration. Only when outsiders [immigrants] are integrated and adopt their host culture can there be harmony. This isn't to disrespect other cultures, it is to value one's own. What has happened is the European political class got sold on multiculturalism as a creed, and anyone dissenting to it was automatically a racist.

The British aren't racist generally, we just have the same portion of idiots as any other country, but the population are being inexorably driven into the hands of racists, the extreme right, because no one else says this must stop. If no one else defends the British culture and way of life, the product of centuries of development, small wonder people are attracted to the extreme rightwing who appear to be the only ones with the courage to speak out.

Across Europe the far right are gaining ground, and we should be aware that this is how fascism starts and succeeds in capturing a country, this time it could be a whole continent. And when Europeans decide they have had enough, Muslims will be the target, including all the peaceful, law abiding, modern ones as well.

When fascism takes over, the radical nutjobs win, although they will be the first to be hung from lamp posts. It's starting to get nasty already, and the political class hasn't a clue what to do, so they cling to the old doctrine they've learned, and mouth the same nonsense, and the right gains again... and we get Brexit and Trump... woaaaah!

Every country is entitled to its own culture, it's what makes the world fascinating and worth travelling to experience. You can't expect every culture to coexist in one small country without inter-ethnic friction and eventually warfare.

Integration is what Britain has gained from for centuries, people even 'Anglicised' (like mine) their names to become British, and we have a wide range of ethnicites across the board, including in our media.


Anyway... let's get back on topic.

anti-multi-culturalist is another way of saying APATHEID or racist really. You either are or you are not, there is no middle ground.

Probably be an idea to not start this train of discussion as it might lead to unexpected places. Let us just say, a nation decided and we all have to respect the democratic process. There is no decision that one would take that would not have some sort of consequences. These consequences are part of the challenges of realizing the decision made. No point banging on about these things but face forward and move on.
