    We don't mind the eastern Europeans, they can integrate.

    It's the one that don't even share culture with us that have no place here.
    Why have one culture in a multicultural society? Just because certain people don't drink alcohol, wear mini-skirts or eat pork, doesn't mean they shouldn't be in the UK.

    ****. It's not a multicultural society. It's England, the cultural and ethnic home of the English.

    The UK is a multicultural society.

    I think you are getting the major cities of England mixed up with the rest of the UK... it is not multicultural outside of the major cities.

    That's odd given everyone in my town speaks English and is white.

    Don't confuse your multicultural ghetto in Birmingham/London with England. There's a reason white people have left those ****holes. We don't like it and don't support it.

    No, we need to stop non-white immigration. The rest is minimal in comparison.
    This is blatant racism. I hope I'm missing some sarcasm here. Why is it ok to allow people to live here based only on skin pigment?

    How is it racism? We should work at maintaining the society that people enjoy.

    Nothing you can do because we are in the EU and freedom of movement is a fundamental principle

    Only moron from Poland can think that immigrants are taking jobs. Without them, there wouldn't any of those jobs.

    I didn't wanted to offend the thread author, but that sounds more like a cry voice because he has to compete more with other Polish people.

    BTW, I'm from Eastern Europe too.

    I don't think it should stop, I quite like Eastern Europeans however I do see the decline of society being down to those from outside Europe that came over as refugee's and not all were genuine and have caused a few issues for the UK...
    Aside from the polish, you really havent experienced any of the other eastern europeans then....

    The only way we can stop immigration from Eastern Europe is from leaving the European Union. Unfortunately despite Cameron's "noises", nobody apart from Ukip, have the sack to leave the EU.

    Not just friends... I have met many on nights out and when I visit Eastern Europe... they are (in general) friendly, bubbly, open people... obviously as with the UK, France or anywhere else in the world you get some that are the opposite but my experiences have been positive.

    Apart from the recent influx of Somali and Afghan people, most 'non-white' immigration was encouraged by the government in the 50's and 60's from Britain's former colonies in the Carribean and South East Asia. This was to make up the workforce which was lost in the wars. Don't know if I can say the same for Eastern European immigration

    Re: Eastern European Immigration must stop?
    Out of all the immigration issues, I'd have thought Eastern European/Polish should be the last one we clamp down on given how Polish people generally integrate better. Take Swindon for example. It had a flourishing Polish community after the second world war. No longer exists because it integrated into the English community. I doubt they didn't contribute anything to the resulting English community, but because of the similarities between people, there's generally no hatred for them. No, I don't mean skin colour, but culture.

    I don't understand what people mean by 'multiculturalism is great'. What do you mean? Apart from saying 'oh look how far we've come' nonsense I don't see any reason. No, I don't hate Africans and Asians, I hate it when people are obsessed over 'differences' and 'being different'. I'm not talking about that I think everyone should be the same, I'm talking about everyone being obsessed with different groups, as opposed to different individuals. Essentially, different nations within ours. Such as Asian areas, black areas etc. I mean, what the hell? England is supposed to be and English area. Yes, you can be non-English in England but I don't see the point in being non-English and in a non-English area of England. It's just madness.

    Also, I have non-white friends and mixed raced family, which is a result of individuals seeing similarities in other individuals' personality, not because they are different. But because they are similar. And I dislike multiculturalism because it focuses on differences.

    Also I don't see Indian restaurants in England as multicultural. It's globalisation.

    This.
    Meenu - Are you aware that the buffoon liberal, Boris Johnson whose picture you display praised the fact that 322 languages are spoken in London's schools, and has argued for an amnesty for failed asylum seekers and illegal immigrants?

    Yes of course, and I have said on numerous occasions I do not agree with him on such an amnesty.

    Membership of the EU confers the right to travel freely between its member states, so Eastern European immigration can't ' be stopped '. The provide well-needed labour and are essential to our economy.
