    Considering all that is happenning in London and elsewhere in the UK, I believe there will be a significant rise in the support for more right wing political parties. The BNP is sure to benefit from what has happened.

    We are starting to see the negative aspects of multiculturalism to motivate certain people (people who oppose it) to commit violent acts, for example in Norway two weeks ago, the riots in London will worsen this due to the fact from what we have seen from footage on TV, that a lot of the rioters appear to be from a non-native English background.

    The opinions of a surprising amount of people across Europe on multiculturalism was seen in the European elections, in the belief that multicuturalism is failing, Sarkozy, Berlusconi and even Merkel have stated it, it will not be surprising if British politicians start announcing it also.

    What do you think?

    I dont trust politicians at all so I might just go with the Green fairies next time.

    I think the BNP and its ilk can go to hell.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭Superbus


    Because the far right being in power always ends happily.

    how would the BNP benefit? the BNP have absolutly no connection with the riots and the rioters,looters and arsonists are just as many white as black

    The Norway shootings were commited by a right wing radical,if anything he de-moralised far right sympathys.

    Just because Sarkozy banned the burkah doesn't state multi-culturalism isn't working. It simply means no one wants people walking around with a mask over their face.

    Berlusconi and Merkel stated it? When?

    Because some psychopath in Norway killed a load of kids it now also means Norway are right-wing?

    What are you talking about?

    Without a doubt. This is how the far right get into power. They exploit disasters. Its like a blueprint.

    Its also the blueprint for the far left to get into power. When you hear loons like Richard Boyd-Barrett constantly saying "Rise Up", this is exactly what he means. He wont admit it but its the truth.

    someone needs to dig up 'that video' about yer man on the street from the BNP talking ****e and add it here

    I have been living in France for the past year as a student, and I can safely say that the native French are very weary of multiculturalism, and I can say that the Germans that I know have the same opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,588 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    I don't quite know where multiculturalism comes into it. I'd blame the breakdown of the family unit.

    I wonder if his British equivalent, whoever the hell that is, takes some responsibility for the same rhetoric...........

    I truly hope not, but it's quite possible.

    Eh, you were able to tell from the videos that some of the rioter's weren't born in england??

    The far left are almost non existant here though, while that fuckwit Le Pen seems to be very popular at the moment.

    If you are going to do something self embarassing couldnt you just... I dunno....sh1t yourself in public for a candid camera skit? At least make it entertaining? Rather than make one of the worst posts Ive ever seen on this site, and that says alot.

    If it's so easy to find you should have no problem googling it yourself and backing up your claims....

    Thats not the fault of multiculturalism. Thats the fault of a madman with access to a gun and explosives.

    Again, why?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,916 ✭✭✭✭orourkeda


    Where there's a perception of ethnic groups causing trouble, a right wing reaction will follow.

    As an aside, the police are in a no win situation here. If they react in too soft a fashion they will draw criticism and if they react in too tough a fashion they will draw criticism.

    Is this a societal issue that runs deeper than mere looting. It would appear so

    I shall consider myself "schooled" or whatever it is you hip young kids say these days.

    I certainly feel like I understand the points raised in the OP thanks to your counter argument. Bravo sir, bravo.

    Indeed I did not, my question still stands. If they were born there then they're native, also Tottenham has had a large non-white population since at least the 60's so it's quite likely their parents and even grandparents are english too.

    He was clearly not insane, he knew what he was doing, but I understand that the senseless slaughter that he has commited can be labelled as acts of a madman.

    Not supporting what he did, I am not a right wing supporter,


    As a political science student I am merely evaluating what the potential consequences are as a result of the events in London, so a few people on this thread get off their high horses.

    I hope so, too many greedy liberal weak wristed nancy boy cowards in charge.

    It is common knowledge that the UK and other nations has had problems with immigrants (illegal mostly) and their other generations integrating and contributing to the state, wether that is the state's fault or the immigrants' is still debatable.
