Time for a new British (or English) identity

[suityou01]

For once I actually agree with something that sasguru posted. Respect!

Socky!

Freeze or dramatically reduce immigration from non-EU states

You must have misread my original proposal. I propose moving away from the EU towards the growing economies.
Therefore EU nationals rights would be severely curtailed, since I believe EU nationals are past it.
Highly qualified (minimum MSc in a hard degree) Indians and Chinese with a strong work ethic would be preferable.
I'd rather build links with those countries than, say, France

Yourself?

Be good if you want me to let you pimp me on my next gig

That's because you have no respect for cultural homogeneity.

That's why Britain has hardly any culture left.

Its not the UK going off with begging bowl to the Chinese, that would be France
And now the Greeks have decided to break your cosy rug munching with Germany, the Chinese will tear France a new arsehole in exchange for saving your banks.



There is more "cultural homogeneity" with India and China than with France.

Nobody has said anything to suggest he has 'no respect for cultural homogeneity'; however, some consider a heterogenious culture to have benefits as well; the two are not mutually exclusive.

And to suggest that Britain 'has hardly any culture left' when British cultural exports (music, art, literature, fashion, design and tourists visiting Britain to learn about and enjoy theatre, history and so on) form a pretty big chunk of Britain's economy is quite simply preposterous. Yes, Britain has chavs, but it has a lot more than just chavs.

That would be Sarkozy, not France

Quite, like it or not we live in a globalised world.
An insular country condemns itself to poverty, a little diversity is necessary to avoid cultural stagnation.
We should even let in a few Frenchies, although I'm not sure what they're good for anymore.

What will you do then? Drag Petain's corpse from the crypt and surrender again?
