I think excessive immigration is very undesirable. It leads to a fragmented country with no common values. How can a child who is taught that homosexuality is a sin, and that women should not show their face in public, grow up to feel part of Britain?
We need to do a hell of a lot of work to integrate those people that are already here, if we ever want to stop forced marriages, FGM, etc etc. The Left like to use name calling to shut people up, but name calling doesn't actually deal with the real problems building up in Britain.
You do like to focus on the negatives, don't you? What about the cultural diversity and enrichment that generations of immigrants have brought - not only to the UK but more significantly to the USA. And Brexit was supposedly about European immigrants (despite Farage and his odious poster)- how many Polish people subject their daughters to FGM? Is it really the extreme and vile practices (which are largely against the law anyway) or is it the fact that "they" are different? That "they" threaten your image of an Englishman and his ways?
I know English people who think that homosexuality is disgusting and that gay men should be castrated. I have honestly sat through conversations like that, biting my lip until it bled. I know they bring up their kids to think the same way. We are both old enough to remember when being gay was a crime under English law. That, of course, was in that golden era of the 50's that UKIP seem to want to resurrect.
