Adopt our values or stay away, says Blair

Telegraph.
Tony Blair formally declared Britain's multicultural experiment over yesterday as he told immigrants they had ''a duty" to integrate with the mainstream of society.

Labour faces its' multicultural monster

That bit got lost somewhere along the way. ''No distinctive culture or religion supersedes our duty to be part of an integrated United Kingdom," Mr Blair said yesterday.
But that was not what his Government was saying in the late 1990s when many of the problems about which he spoke yesterday were taking root. Then, the view was that ethnic minority groups should be allowed to do what they like so long as they did not break the law. Perhaps Mr Blair had forgotten he was one of its most ardent proponents.
A few months after becoming Prime Minister, he said that the single most important thing for the nation was to embrace multi-culturalism, to recognise that "it's a good thing, not something to be frightened of".
The result was segregation and separation whose consequences were apparent in 2001, with riots in the North. An inquiry into their cause was appalled to find British people living ''parallel lives", with young ethnic minority people able to go through life exclusively in the company of their own kind.


Blair has seen the multi-culturalism light?
Multi-culturalism portrays itself as a means of celebration: in fact, it is an invitation to all minorities to complain, loudly and persistently, about their victimhood. And, when this self-pitying worldview comes into contact with religious fanaticism, the results can be – literally – explosive. That is presumably what Mr Blair means when he says that the events of July 7 last year threw the whole concept of multi-cultural Britain "into sharp relief".

Australia;
The GREAT Bikini Protest!!!!
SABRA LANE: March organiser, Christine Hawkins, describes herself as a Melbourne grandmother.

She says she was outraged by recent comments made by Sydney Sheikh Taj El Din Al Hilali, comparing scantily clad women to uncovered meat.

CHRISTINE HAWKINS: We're encouraging people to wear beachwear. The reason for that... we've called it the 'The Great Australian Bikini March' because it's got an interesting, iconic image for Australians that most Australians, you know, even from their childhoods remember summer holidays with great fondness, of going down to the beach, sitting in the sun, warm, swimming, lots of nice memories.



So how long until Canada follows Australia and now Britian and drop Multiculturalism? Do we need to?
