Argh, I hate the tone in this article. So smug and preachy. Also, she constantly refers to "Western nations" adopting Australia's immigration policy yet only names one , Great Britain. And the headline, is this Avon Lady writing here? All that's missing is a reference to heads in sand.
One would think she could support her claims. Oh well.

"For the past few decades, the progressive fad of minority rights, fuelled by multiculturalism, has flourished. Once a hard form of multiculturalism took root, one that treated all cultures as equal, the values of the host country were effectively under attack. Cultural relativism morphed into a virulent strand of Western self-loathing where tolerance was reinterpreted to mean tolerating those intolerant of Western culture and values."

I think its spot on, thats what the majority thinks and feels in the West. Lefty liberals have supported this multiculti pussy footing bacause they think these people will be thankfull and vote them in power.:rotfl:

No it isnt. Would you let anyone in Britain and let them live anyway they want to? Thats what you have had before.

You do, do you.

Enter the British Labour Government, which last month announced its intention to introduce tough new citizenship tests and, get this, bring in immigration controls "based on the Australian model".
We all got a good laugh from that one. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
