So you think a minority of people in your village (sorry, actually one person) ‘hijacking’s flag poles’ is symptomatic of the UK losing its culture do you? Honestly?

My ‘berkas slipping’. What’s that meant to mean? Not as much as your grasp of common sense it would seem…and my comment (relayed from Germany) was simply to illustrate how dependent various services have become on those who’ve arrived from abroad, it wasn’t designed to set off one of your rants, but hey ho.
It's not just Germany that's becoming dependent on imported labour in public sectors... It's prevalent in UK maybe even to a greater extent, and not just in low pay environments. I am now almost surprised to encounter a "WASP" in daily life, from Uber drivers to nurses to hospital porters to doctors and consultants, cleaners baristas, even accountants and lawyers. It's no longer just the jobs the indigenous population didn't want to do, but across all sectors and remuneration grade.

We are I would suggest so far into dependence on imported labour (including 2nd and 3rd generation) that it's a hole we can't get out of if we wanted to. Services would collapse if we "made Britain white again"

Which is not to say we should take all the illegal migrants that would not pass the "missing skills in the UK marketplace" rest but we have to face the facts that UK is an evolving community. The sooner we can focus on togetherness rather than differences the better - but this is a two way commitment to tolerance and I fear we are bending over too far backwards in favour of imported culture at the expense of our own.
