in a short time, will britains heritage, way of life etc be wiped out because of mass immigration? - the mists of time ☠- 03-24-2014 03:46 PM
im talking about the way of life here, the arts, our culture, the british way of life, the librarys , britains heritage, britains history will eventually all be wiped out because of the extent of immigration into the country ?
not counting the illegal immigrants.
ive heard opinions that say in a short time, everything about britain will be under threat of extinction because of the level of immigration into the country .
what does anyone think about this ?

Our entire population are the descendants of one wave or another of immigrants or invaders over the last 2000 years or more. Maybe you failed to notice the fact that English is a mixture of a wide variety of other languages, or ever stopped to wonder why that might be. There isn't and there never has been such a thing as pure Englishness or Britishness, despite what stupid racist bigots think.

Not wiped out, but certainly modified. They choose to come to England, so there must be specially English things that they like and want to enjoy. Their cultures are also being modified by those of the country they move into.
Social and mass media are having a very large effect on all cultures where they appear.

Survived the Saxons, Survived The Jutes, Survived the Normans, Survived the War With France, Survived the Great Fire of London, Survived Two World Wars.
Definitely will survive multicultural immigration, well into the next millennia.
edit: @ Who: Oh yes mate, thanks for reminding me, I was in a bit of a hurry yesterday !

No. That's total rubbish and only a moron would think that.
How is our heritage going to be wiped out? Does someone have a plan to demolish our great castles and palaces? How is immigration going to shut down our great galleries and libraries? Specifically - what heritage do you think will die, and how will our history disappear?
I think anyone suggesting that is either mad, or deliberately trying to scaremonger for political purposes.

latin techie missed out
the romans, the normans,the vikings, the huegenots, french (during the french revolution), the jews (during the late 19th/early 20th century,), west indians during the 50s,
and just after the ice age the UK was joined directly to france+holland+ denmark+ belgium in any case (cos the north sea did not exist then), so who knows who came then.
so which heritage, way of life etc are you talking about exactly?

Yes that is the plan.
