Another racist bashing immigrants

[woohoo]

Apples and pears and all that.

Apples and pears and all that.

What have stairs got to do with it?

Nothing really, I was just thinking about an apple and pear arguing.

I don't get it why you are so pissed if the Brits do the same thing.
I'm wondering if you need to speak other language in your country when you want to buy something.

You don't get it as usual

Frequently you have to wait for the interpreter (the Son or Daughter) if you ask for something complex. Its a bit frustrating but the Brits could have bought the business & run it, they didn't so I'm patient because the corner shop / niche supplier is open and happy to serve me.

Why do you need to "undertake" to follow UK law? Shouldn't UK law just apply anyway?

Oaths and allegiances are not only a bit distasteful, they're also dumb. Does anyone think a terrorist or criminal won't be prepared to lie?

It should, but various religious groups want their own law to prevail. Some where given such concessions.

Personally, I think there should be no such concessions and the law of the country should prevail and be applicable to all citizens, residents, or visitors.

So true then the isolation makes them judge normality different.
...
We need to resolve this ghettoisation and bring people into the British way of life.

Except any way of life enjoyed by the majority in any country involves certain prevailing attitudes towards religion, food, drink, sex, etc. And there we hit a reinforced concrete wall of cultural and religious differences. You cannot bring people out of ghettos if they don't want to make that effort themselves. But I don't think we should stop trying and we should support those who leave their ghettos.

I don't know about Zürich, but in Basel the English and Irish pubs are full of local Swiss. The staff must speak both English and the local dialect (at least to some extent).

It should, but various religious groups want their own law to prevail. Some where given such concessions.

The error you make is assuming that the law of the country doesn't already prevail and isn't applicable to all citizens. It does and it is.

Certain aspects of Sharia law and Jewish courts are allowed to operate for some civil cases, with the agreement of all parties concerned, but it is UK law that is paramount.

The problems are:
1. Where one or other party is coerced into accepting Sharia/Jewish courts, often through ignorance
2. Where Sharia/Jewish laws are incompatible with UK law - and this is what is being addressed according to the article you've linked to

MPs on the Commons home affairs committee have launched an inquiry into the operation of sharia courts in the UK to ensure their principles are compatible with British law.

There are plenty of Vegetarians, teetotalers and virgins in the UK rights to observe religion are some of the best in the world.

Integration is not going to the pub with the lads and shagging some bird behind the bus stop, its being a good citizen & not pulling away from society.

If you look at the Sikhs & Jews mostly they have their own culture and integrate well into ours.

Integration is ... being a good citizen & not pulling away from society.

Exactly.

You couldn't have it more wrong. You are comparing the annoyance of ordering a drink in the common language across Europe against all the immigration problems we face. When your towns have no go areas then you can chirp up. Jesus.

In my case it's different of course. Hypocrite.

We don't have ghettos in Portugal because we demolished all 30 years ago. If we have guns shots in any neighborhood, which is rare, are sent 10 police vans.

In UK the immigrants must be able to speak fluent English otherwise they will be pulled back in the first grammar error like some of you are doing here with me.

Try to be more friendly instead of having a repulse behavior towards to the immigrants and help them in the integration probably your country would have better results.
