    Probably, as there are already many cultures in the UK. But youn don't have to espouse multi cultural policies in combination with immigration; indeed, many countries have had policies in the past which actively encouraged immigration while also encouraging immigrants to integrate into the local culture. Canada and the USA are examples, but obviously the words 'local culture' are debatable.

    not sure where they found that quote, couldn't see it in the report, maybe the reporter made it up?


    this is in there though :

    Multiculturalism
    was for years seen by many in Britain as the only
    respectable policy for managing the problems
    posed by immigration – over the past two years
    it has been much harder to find people in public
    life who support it. Programme-makers need to
    treat areas of consensus with proper scepticism
    and rigour. So often those in the media who
    think they are in the mainstream find that the
    river of public discourse has cut a new channel,
    and left them stranded in ox-bow lakes.
    of course this was from the Rabid right wing

    Some months later, the BBC published a report
    examining how impartiality might best be assured
    in the future. It was, in its own way, equally candid:

    Telegraph;

    It is "common practice" for the BBC to give a platform to many pro-immigration spokesmen with no dissenting voices, while the corporation suffers from Left-wing "groupthink" preventing its journalists from challenging institutional bias, according to the report.

    As a result, the corporation airs "propaganda" for those who favour multiculturalism, said the report by the independent think-tank The New Culture Forum, which looked at BBC news and current affairs coverage since 1997.

    What outcome did you expect them to come to?
    to be unable to find bias because the BBC is so fair?

    oh that wasn't going to happen was it?

    is anyone surprised?
