Word Jail!! I love it! No, I don’t mind people USING the word, I just think things would be better if the STATE stayed away from it.

So: there should be no minister, no money, no department, no grants. If people want to do multiculturalism on their own time and dime, I don’t care.

I’ve been saying this for over a decade, and have thus endured every name under the son. Fuck ‘em!

One way to effect this banning of multiculti is to pass an Act of Parliament, requiring a search engine to infest every single government document - policy paper, memo, legislation and delete the word ‘multicult*’ and its cognates.

Would probably take no more than a few seconds. Now, re-employing the “diversity divas?’ Priceless.

Yeah I know. Often by each other.

I mentioned US pop culture viz the Italians, Irish and Jews. One reason they (especially Jewish people) went to Hollywood is because they were locked out of the more ‘respectable’ businesses like Wall Street. In fact JC said he was one of the first Catholic traders where he started - in the 80s!

Every woman? Really? Obviously the standard of maths in the muslim world has declined in the past few hundred years.

And Adrien, there is always pressure to conform whether or not it is sanctioned officially and all three of the groups you mention were victims of open racial and religious hatred in the early days of their migration. ‘Fitting in’ is a long term process for any community and I’m pretty sure you’ll find the same thing happening with Muslims in Europe and elsewhere. Given the increasing restrictions on migration into Europe the Muslim community will be increasingly reliant on second and third generation women who can no longer be forced to have children (as honour crimes are illegal and contraception both free and confidential) so birth rates will drop.

Besides, left to their own devices those Muslims from the more socially restrictive countries are usually too busy trying to dominate each other to pose a real threat to the West.

My blog is a series of essays SL. I started it as a means of getting my juices flowing again. I’m planning to contribute another 20 essays this year just in a different time of the year. Six of them are almost finished but it’s stop-start with work. And also I’m completing my ‘real’ work - ie (f)Arty stuff.
