    Yup, and thats one of the reasons Labour are good at losing elections these days. There seen to be the party thats willingly expanded immigration over the years. Remember Gordon s confrontation with Mrs Duffy
    in 2010 Election " Too many Easter Europeans over here " lol. It was said Blair/ Mandy open the floodgates to rub the rights nose in it. Rightly or wrongly ?, but its backfired big style.

    But paying to be with a Sex God doesn't count. Anyway I told you I'm not interested.

    The report also mentions that Covid is more prevalent among the poor - I wonder if I can get some money on prescription?

    Nice one. I've had the same with some of mine. One of my best customers up in Glasgow, who was Indian, used to make me some amazing Pakora! We used to swap recipes, as she loved Italian food, and I loved (proper authentic) curries!!

    That's what it's all about: living in harmony and helping each other, no matter race, creed, colour or whatever else...

    Not sure I follow your logic... Why would some folk offering to buy a house end up turning an area into a ghetto?

    Unless everyone knocking on the door was a scumbag....

    Marco.
    Fulwood is one of the better areas of Preston, but one part of it (about half a square mile) has attracted ever more Muslim families, who seem intent on making that area their own. I would have no problem with having Asian neighbours - as you say, diversity is a good thing, but I don't want to be the only white family in the whole street either, this is how our national identity gets lost. Are we even allowed to say national identity without being branded 'racist'?

    Badgering long-term residents, many of whom have lived there most of their lives, until they give up and move out, is the exact opposite of integration imo. Perhaps 'ghetto' is the wrong word, I'm meaning an area that is exclusively one particular race.

    Nope, you were quite right to say what you think. I agree, as it happens to be true, and it certainly represents the results of my own experience. Unfortunately too many people in this country, including successive governments, are (or have been) too scared to tackle the problem, for fear of being deemed as 'racist', when in reality it is nothing of the sort!

    Quite simply, all non-compliant immigrants, Pakistani Muslims or otherwise, when entering this country, should be FORCED to integrate. And if they refuse to comply, then they should be immediately sent back to their own country - and a hard line needs to be taken on this. If that had happened way back in the first place, instead of the politically correct 'liberal do-gooders', too scared of offending anyone, getting their way and allowing such behaviour, then we wouldn't be in the position we're in now.

    Marco.
    You mean we should force their menfolk to down pints in the pub, and their women to drop the burqa, and get with the tight leggings? Yeh! Like a reversal of the Islamic police they have in Saudi? 'Excuse madam, your leggings aren't tight enough'.
