In answer to the original question.

None.

Wile I've got friends from all over the place and most races, multiculturalism has no real benefits. The bottom line is it causes one hell of a lot of problems with very few benefits. The idea that it's good for the economy is just pathetic. I've got mates who are black all born in this country and they are fully aware that most of the Africans coming over here now are just out for a free ride, how can that be good for the economy.

I was watching question time a wile ago and Clair Short was defending multiculturalism stating that it was good for people to mix with other cultures.
I think it is good for people of different cultures to try and mix, understand each other and get on. But we our living in the real world not the fantasy world of socialism, political corectness and ideals.

What she did not seem to grasp and certainly most labour and lib dims is that
they are running a country, not a university.

True! My Grandfather who died in 1947, favourite meal in the thirties was curry! My Mother, his Daughter IN-law made him a curry, but he complained that it wasn't hot enough! So the next one she made for him nearly knocked his throat out! She wasn't asked to make anymore:-) I certainly didn't inherit my Grandfathers passion for curry, I hate the bloody stuff!

On the current trend, mass immigration of working adults supports the pension system. I find it hyprocritical for some to oppose immigration but makes no reference to changes they wish to make on the welfare system.
This is the reality, not abstract social science on whether different faces or religion will get along with each other or not.

What you seem to be advocating Northumbrian is the immigration those with British forefathers.

There is a bottom line. The country is hopelessly over populated at present.

Added to that we have a huge number of people dependent on the governments redistribution of peoples earnings, we have a huge number of people who could work but won’t, and we have a huge number of people “only here for the beer”.

The common factor is the Welfare State, a thing that should be a safety net but has now become a career option.

It’s time for a change.

It would be easier, wouldn't it?

Law and order are important concepts that the typical German or Singaporean know much better.

It's not lazy thinking but fact.
These crimes are the result of immigration.

I think 90% of the people in this country would prefer EU immigration to immigration from India, Pakistan and the West Indies.
