When he says,
/// Britain is a white 'mono-culture' and that children should focus on studying the history of their 'own culture'.///
Before some class him as a racist, please read the reports on what he said, from both ends of the political spectrum.

I have said many times on here that children should be taught english history - warts and all. We are a multiracial country (not multicultural) England has its own culture the same as every other country in the world. We do not discriminate against any persons practicing their own religion or culture, but the fact remains the culture and religion of this country is christianity.

Jtp, not sure I understand your comment, but Brenden is right that we do have a multiracial society, and some including myself have said, and believe, that one day Britain will be an Islamic State. If you look at the fact that Islam is second only to Christianity in Britain now, and how long has that taken, no time at all. It will eventually overwhelm Christianity, and be the dominant religion. I don't particularly care for any religion, but already we have seen the results of fanaticism amongst young men, and some women here, and who is to say truthfully that there isn't more to come. Moderates have a voice, but they don't speak out often enough.
JTP, fair enough, but perhaps you should, commendable by the way that AOG didn't just post from the DM, so the Guardian/Telegraph have covered the story. And to add i happen to believe he spoke a deal of truth about the rioters in that distant free for all. What he should have said, or perhaps he did, was that it's black American culture they are imitating, right down to the bling, clothes, and must have trainers, and it has been like that for many a long year.
well, you did say "in no time at all", em.
Americans are much more of a unified nation than Britain is, in my opinion. There are fewer and less marked local accents, for instance. They are all happy to salute their flag. And they have exported what is in effect white American culture - that of Hollywood - far more thoroughly than black ghetto culture. Chances are you could name twice as manhy American actors as British ones.

jno, I was referring to how quickly Islam has spread in Britain, and most of the more recent incomers have been arriving since the early 1950's, when we had manpower shortages. And when Idi Amin kicked out the Asians from Uganda, that brought a large contingent to these shores, who have indeed multiplied every since.
