White Fright: Divided Britain
53 Answers
...shown on BBC's Panorama last night. I was expecting to see a thread about it and am a little surprised not to find one. The Panorama team returns to Blackburn ten years after showing a program investigating social integration in the town and asks the question "What's changed?".

I didn't see the programme and perhaps should have watched being but a stones throw away, I have read a good summary and I'm not really surprised.
A few moves to get the young people together is good, let's hope for more.
One sad remark stood out from an Asian Gentleman - ' Given the recent spate of terror attacks, we find ourselves having to apologise for others more and more'.
It takes more than two people shaking hands on a bridge aiming to check back again in another decade to alter things , more from all sides must show willing.

I saw it. Interesting that the veil is more in evidence than it was ten years ago. I think that speaks volumes. Additionally I’d be willing to bet that of those children playing football none of them are students at the Islamic faith schools that are cause for concern. Disappointing that no government spokesman was willing to be interviews and that the local council appeared reluctant to address the issue, preferring instead to praise the ‘diversity’ in the town. Ostrich syndrome is rife among the powers that be.
//You cant force people from totally different backgrounds and religions to integrate if they don't want to I'm afraid. That's why multiculturalism is a pipe dream no matter how much it's forced on people.//
I didn't watch the programme, but does multiculturalism have to mean integration? I was under the impression that it just meant that different cultures could coexist, not that they had necessarily to integrate. London for sure has long had pockets of different cultures that never really integrated. Even those in the richer white areas never integrated with those in the poorer white areas.

it won;t help, this is what's happening in Britain, more and more faith schools where little or no integration takes place. As to London it wasn't full to brimming with blacks or asians, i should know as i have spent a lifetime here and the fact is that certain peoples have arrived and made their homes here, same came to only stay for a little while but never went home. Mass exodus from Uganda meant more Asians came to Britain as they had British passports.. If you knew London in my mothers/grandmothers day then its changed out of all recognition.
I dated any number of black guys back in the 70's and believe me it was frowned upon even hated by some white communities.
