What are the variables and how do you weigh them? If you'd like to fill in those blanks, it might lead to an interesting discussion. Let's see if you can muster facts that would persuade minorities in Britain. Meanwhile, your comment that multi-cultural societies subvert a "progressive civilisational aim" contains an overtone of prejudice against the new arrivals, which seems to reinforce my argument. Perhaps you'd like to clarify and explain so that you (preferring anonymity, significantly) don't let stand the impression that you are unwittingly putting on display the precise aversions that this piece discusses.

Report after report highlights this, and the striking demographics there bear it out also. This "throw open the borders/multi-cultural society-good" approach is clearly subverting the progressive civilisational aim to create genuinely equitable and peaceful societies. Saying "It's racist!" is lazy and surpriingly numb-headed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142898510709201361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176006268302183776.post-86471601462305079472016-06-26T23:49:55.641-04:002016-06-26T23:49:55.641-04:00P.S.

Will a great preponderance of Ignoranti now vote Trump into office on similarly shallow, shoddy reasoning?! I'm scared! Trump's campaign has always brought to my mind the rise of Hitler. It's not that he has the same ideas, but the same thoughtless, hysterical, BRUTE crowd seems to have been reactivated - and a large enough number of them could conceivably thrust this super-narcissistic, psychopathic Carnival Barker to the Presidency of the United States. It's truly scary!
