    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You're basically describing the magic 1950s British culture that Malc was referring to!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You pay for interpreters to encourage people to access the health care they’re entitled to (I’d argue an immigrant’s good health will help them integrate too). As I said, any immigrant will soon realise that their earnings potential/mating potential/education potential will increase...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Personally I support measures that help people get the level of healthcare they’re entitled to; I assume you disagree. But when talking about its impact on British culture - how does the existence of NHS interpreters contribute to the erasure of British culture? You cite the example of 1950s...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't really see it as the erasure of British culture though (anymore than Benidorm can be said to have erased Spanish culture). These enclaves for foreigners have always existed, they serve a certain purpose for small groups (usually visitors and first generation immigrants), but they don't...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What's noticeable? I'm struggling to understand which aspects of British culture are disappearing. You can't just preserve a country's culture in amber, and there aren't many examples of a mother culture completely disappearing as a result of voluntary immigration anyway - countries have been...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Mental that BTA has gone from being completely disposable, to being a player that a full quarter of all clubs in the Championship have either signed or tried to sign in the last year.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s not that I actively want it to happen, I just don’t share the fear/insecurity that British culture is disappearing. What’s the evidence for it? British cultural exports are wildly popular, many of them younger than I am, many of them reflecting our status as a multicultural country as well...

    The ONS release says the rate of population growth in the UK will be slower for the next 25 years than it has been for the past 25.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think managing high numbers of new arrivals to the UK poses its own problems in terms of integration (although worth noting the UK generally does this better than many other countries already), but I don’t see any impending danger to British culture. Nor is there anything inherently wrong with...

    The official NFL Thread

    Barkley may be the most entertaining athlete to watch in any sport on the planet right now. That being said, I hope the Chiefs smash the Eagles, cannot stand Philly sports fans of any persuasion.

    Is the issue the rate of population growth, or is it who makes up that growth?
