I should have added '.....capitalism and the conflicts associated with...'

Yes, indeed. Been reading about fear for the future social conflicts from the 19th and early 20th century here and afar recently - Catholics and protestants in Liverpool for example - and the peeps involved back then with their woebetides now just seem like histrionic wet-knickered types. We seem to have survived their foreboding.

And when the time comes from humanity to be the next in line for extinction nature will cope with that massive loss too. She'll probably have a millennia long party, in fact.

I think the world's diversity of culture peaked a long time ago and integration has been happening for many centuries now.

Don't really understand what all the fuss is about now. It's not like we are in some horrific war or are starving here. If we were then I don't think the thought of a couple of million migrants coming here would seem so scary for some.

It may not be wholly irrelevant that we are an island making illegal entry far harder than into a country such as Hungary or Germany which have lengthy land borders.Lengthy land borders make it possible and not too difficult to try and slip across at numerous points fairly easily.The Channel tunnel/Calais is a magnet for a minority of those trying to enter illegally in Europe trying to slip onto a vehicle/train to get into here precisely because of our lack of a land border with continental Europe,so people concentrate in one spot.

Regardless of anyone's views on immigration, its not logical to infer from events in Calais that we are the number one preferred destination in Europe or that its because of our "benefits".Some posters also continue to overlook that overall welfare benefits are better in France and Germany than here.

Kermit's "analysis" get more and more desperate. First he starts with, "I don't actually have an immigration policy, but uncontrolled immigration is clearly highly beneficial" - so no doubt he thinks we should have more and remove the flimsy controls that we do have. Next he states that immigration is "inevitable" - you know it just sort of happens and you can do nothing about it. Now he is saying we won't know the difference in 150 years time because we will all be mixed race - just like it is in the USA I guess? I expect his next sage comment will be that "it will all turn out alright in the end" - probably Dr. Frankenstein's words as he threw the switch.

And when he's on 'Who Do You Think You Are'.....the raised eyebrows 'oh, dear' bit.

I was still in the realms of 'the black market' i guess.
My fail. Apologies.

Time to move forward together.

Kermy only speaks for a minority of people....like the rest of the open door immigration supporters on here.

75 percent in England want reduced immigration....Hell even in Scotland.....It's 58 percent.....That's even with their far left nationalists in charge dibbling out their anti Ukip waffle.

They don't even represent the real views of the Scottish on the issue......God forbid what the numbers would be if more foreigners actually wanted to live in Scotland.
