In a very, very slight case of "Sauce for the Goose" I am, on occasion, slightly tickled at the traditionally pretty homogeneous countries of Europe getting influxes of new cultures and suddenly learning that multiculturalism isn't as easy as it seems all the time.
Still a much, much better problem to have then our "Shoot them all, ask questions never" approach.

You seem to be confused. The EDL cockwombles were protesting the building of a mosque. Unless the planning application shows that the architect has included kiddie rapey torture rooms in said mosque, you've leapt to a false conclusion. As usual.
There have been parts that have been pretty diverse for a long time
Ex Bow Street PC Mario Ruffy at the Notting Hill Carnival. by Bow Street Runner, on FlickrTo be sure, but it is a fair and accurate statement to say that in general most European countries have been more culturally and ethically homogeneous than the United States.

Sure, but the question is whether they have actually "suddenly" got significantly more diverse than the previous steady increase. Even then, it's not like we haven't seen these influxes before, e.g. Eastern European Jews at the end of the 19th/starts of the 20th Century (it's reckoned that 120,000 stayed, but many more times that number transited through on the way to the US). Much of the hysteria links in with the migration crises that started in 2015, yet the number of asylum applications in the UK only increased from an average of just over 29,000 per year between 2009 and 2014, to an average of 37,500 per year in 2015-2017. That only means an "extra" 8,600 or so applications.

It's also worth pointing out that the Notting Hill Carnival was partly started in response to race riots.
Do you agree you were wrong with your claim?

What law is it? Surely you can at least remember that?
Grossly offended. This goes beyond even very offended.
A law you are very reluctant to directly link to and quote when we are having this discussion.
That is because I bet you it does not say what you claim it does.
Grossly offensive, where what was said goes way beyond what is acceptable and is about as offensive as it is possible to be.
You know fine well what I mean. The moderators have a different censure they can use to the Scottish legal system. But both have set limits as to what is acceptable behaviour.
Free speech does not mean you can say absolutely anything you want, as you know fine well.
Obviously there is a difference in how the forum and Scottish law are run. There is a similarity that both require people to not be grossly offensive, or else sanctions will apply.
You remember that my daughter was raped, right? So when I tell you that this line of bollocks from you is starting to piss me off, you can understand it, I hope.
Let me see if I can make this perfectly clear to you: nobody gives a flying **** WHO rapes their kids. What concerns us is that they are raped at all. There is no evidence that I have seen (and certainly none that you have produced, given that you've never produced any evidence for anything at all) that Muslims rape at a greater rate than anyone else on the planet. The fact that there are Muslims in this country doesn't place my daughter at a higher risk of being raped. So if you could leave off the lie about us being apathetic about rape I personally would much appreciate it. If your daughter had been raped.........just think about that for a minute.......and some jerk on the internet kept on about how apathetic you were about it, what do you think your reaction might be?
In my own personal experience, 100% of the people who raped my daughter (after a harrowing knife and gun hostage situation that lasted 24 hours) were christians. Overtly christian, quoting the bible in justification for the rape, and declaring that in the eyes of his god they were now married. This country still has 10 christians for every muslim. Shouldn't we really be focusing a little more on the rape threat posed by christians, given that the odds of being raped by a christian are approximately ten times higher than that of being raped by a muslim?
Your attitude nauseates me. I find everything you say to be repugnant. Your twisted little world view, and your blindness to what this country is really like (as opposed to what you think it is like) make me feel rather sorry for you. I can't imagine what it's like to be so pathetically ignorant and wrong.

Absolute garbage.
You're closer to the truth with this than you might imagine. Yep, we're a pretty laid back bunch, with not a lot upsetting us. Most people would be more annoyed and upset by their football team losing than by anything else in their lives. Well, that and the price of a pint going up. The reason we don't get upset by stuff is that generally there isn't a lot to get upset about. We all get on pretty well with each other, stuff sort-of works, and, nobody dies because they can't afford medical treatment. The stuff you imagine to be an issue just isn't, however much you want it to be.

Debate fail. I remember why I left this toilet now. I'll do it again and hope that this time I'm not tempted to return.
The least of the failures in that quote.

Sure. But that is the chosen hill to die upon. So be it. No skin off my nose.

The phenomenon of the Asian gangs grooming young girls in Rotherham and elsewhere was a product of the pattern of immigration of some subcontinent groups. Their being 'Muslim' is purely concomitant with the original reason of the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants in the early 1960's. Their sole aim was to work in England for a few years, sending money back home, and then to return to marry and raise a family. Thus, this group of migrant was predominantly male, and their pattern of housing was house-sharing, so there'd be a whole household of male occupants (we saw this with some immigrants from East Europe).
Then, the government brought in a Nationality Act which allowed them to bring in their wives and families by a certain date (I think, 1963) after which time no more free migration from Pakistan/India would be allowed. Therefore, instead of returning home, they reasoned they'd bring their close relatives over. The females arrived much later. By then, there was an established culture of a handful of Asian guys buying a house and then sharing it with their fellow countrymen.
Being young males, they were sexually predatory and thus targetted indigenous females, as their own were thousands of miles away.
Unfortunately, this became an ingrained culture which became exposed in recent years as being highly criminal, abherent and organised crime against young girls.
This was not helped by social workers ignoring the girls' plight and dismissing it as their 'lifestyle choice'.
However, the crime is zero to do with 'being Muslim'.
Learn to understand cause and effect, instead of inciting hatred against Muslims.
