I know this is said time and again but the right ignore that we do in fact have a society and pretend that different people of different cultures do integrate actually. Their message is really "I don't want you to integrate, I want you gone" and it's our friends and neighbours they're talking about.
Absolute arsehole. I work in a London school as a teacher where 40 to 50% of the students are Muslim. What happens at Christmas? The classes decorate their rooms, organise secret santas, exchange Christmas cards with all participating. It is very much seen as a community festival for all.

Far too much of the Kenova reporting has utterly ignored the recommendations. There seems to be endless capacity in UK media to generate headlines about lawfare and no recognition of the dangers resulting from the UK Govt restricting conflict legacy information release:

The 'social origins of the Land War' has notoriously been seen as the disappearing labourer and rising strong farmer ('mean-faced mean who did well out of the Famine'). I think this is a denigratory myth. Actually, the basic social structure of the peasantry changed very little.

Absolutely insane here, like lecturing people for not recognising the decency and liberalism of Milosevic’s Serbia, yet somehow much, much worse, dumber and more insulting. You cannot big up a record of inclusion if you are destroying your subject underclass of people who have no rights.
