I am British and have lived in Asia, Eastern Europe, the US, and the Caribbean. I have viewed ethnic tensions as an outsider. The English political media class seemed to believe the UK was above this sort of thing. At the Potsdam Conference in 1945, the Allies recognised that ethnic tensions had been a major cause of WW2. British historians bang on about appeasement. One of the root causes was the borders drawn up at Versailles in 1919 and the creation of multi-ethnic countries like Czechoslovakia. About 12 million ethnic Germans were expelled from Eastern and central Europe in the late 1940s. There was also other ethnic cleansing to create ethnically homogenous countries. This was considered necessary in Europe, which was white and Christian. How Britain puts the genie back in the bottle god only knows.

I think this is similar to the U.S. and Canada (where I live). I think we did not appreciate that by increasing the number of immigrants (who are screened for finances, education, etc.) and the ever-increasing number of refugees (who are not screened for language, education, savings) we were fundamentally changing the make-up of our country. This is what 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation Canadians, for example, have just realized. And it is a tremendous shock. It's not to say that we view every change as bad, but it is the knowledge that those changes have happened without us being aware of them, and are fundamentally influencing the way we vote, our laws, our religious beliefs, our morals and our values. The recent protests over the fighting between Israel and Hamas shocked Canadians who suddenly realized how many Palestinians and other Arabs were living in our country. And to see the violent ways that they manipulated university students who knew nothing about the history of Israel-Arab relations was astounding. There were university students who when questioned believed that the hostages had been taken by the Israelis. I think the violent reactions in the last weeks in the U.K. may be partly because citizens now realize that allowing all these refugees in is not just a humanitarian or economic issue - it is changing the U.K. in ways that you have not been able to vote for, or consciously adapt to - and it is terrifying. And you can see the face of that terror on the streets.

@@pondeify That's the thing though: some (like you) do genuinely prefer hugely diverse cosmopolitan cities. But there are also very many people who prefer homogeneity. Both of these are subjective preferences so we can't really say one is more legitimate than the other. So how about these two conflicting groups seek some compromise position rather than try to conquer each other and force either unlimited diversity or total homogeneity upon each other? Most of us with a preference for homogeneity are willing to tolerate some level of diversity within a country. Almost no one believes 100% homogeneity is even possible, let alone necessarily desirable. In a world of easy travel it is unrealistic to expect anywhere to remain 100% racially or culturally homogeneous. But we could limit immigration so the country remains mostly (though not totally) homogeneous - so the ethnic English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish remain the majorities in their ancestral homelands. You'd still be able to enjoy your large, diverse, cosmopolitan cities with their array of different cultures. But I get the impression that people on your side of the aisle wouldn't be willing to place any limit on diversity or immigration at all. Ever. Even if it means that the English, Scots (etc) are made into minorities on this island. So if there can be no compromise, then we will have irreconcilable differences, and those are often cause for violence in societies.

​@@anash7 Playing false equivalence. There is no modern era corresponding wave of white westerners displacing local demographics elsewhere and all around. There also will be no mass second wave as seen from abroad, since there are not the core numbers here to create one. The comparative trickle that does migrate, usually does so with a will to assimilate to the culture they give up their homes for. Similar to the mindset of early Iranian refugees of the Islamic Republic, they don't impose their ways on their new homeland. It's both due to number as well as attitude. If the same could be said about migration to the West, maybe the urge for natives to leave wouldn't have appeared in the first place. Everybody knows that behind the deflection platitudes, net migration analysis shows that we've clearly had things here that the rest of the world craves. But at the end of most feeding frenzies, what usually remains is just flood in the water. Which is also what an inconvenient share of our dear neighbors secretly and sometimes not so secretly root for.

That commentator, Aris Roussinos, has shown a level of understanding of the issue in Northern Ireland I cannot say I've ever heard from an 'English' commentator before. Very surprisingly knowledgeable. The reason the plantation in Ulster did not integrate into the general Irish population (like many other plantations) was the large numbers involved. The reason the muslim population are not integrating into British society is because of the large number, social and religious conservatism and that they are generally poor. The solution is to slow the rate of immigration... and add time. As for the Ulster flag and tricolour intermingling in the same riot, this is truly shocking. Good luck Britain!

The English are born form German tribes in fact. The first people to be called the "British", in the modern sense of the word, were the mix of English and lowland Scots colonists who were planted into Ireland in the 17th and 18th centuries with the aim of replacing the Irish (a genuine attempt at "replacement" although it wasn't completely successful). They were now living in Ireland but needed a name to call themselves in order to distinguish themselves from the Irish, and "mostly lowland Scots and English" was too long, hence the birth of the "British", which they borrowed from the Roman name for the Welsh. Interestingly the lowlands Scots had already borrowed their name "Scots" form the Roman name for the Irish, but that goes back to before the English emigrated to Britain.

Rotherham report 'reduced me to tears', says MP who exposed abuse decade ago. When Ann Cryer tried to bring abusers in her Yorkshire seat to justice, she was shunned by police, social services and imams. So she asked a friend, a Muslim councillor of Pakistani heritage, to approach the elders at the mosque with a list of 35 names and addresses of the alleged perpetrators. "He said to the imams, 'Ann Cryer would like you to go around to these families and explain that this behaviour is totally un-Islamic.' But the upshot was that the elders allegedly said, 'Go back to Ann Cryer and tell her it's nothing to do with us.' " Denis MacShane, the former MP for Rotherham, admitted he might have not done enough about child sexual exploitation by Asian men in his constituency because he was a "Guardian-reading liberal leftie"

Aris is, of course, saying the long deemed to be unsayable here. Identity politics has long been a highly useful means for 'the elites'to divide and rule accentuating differences over common interests. This approach has also allowed for the unabated flow of low skilled illegal immigration to continue under the false premise of tolerance, decency and inclusivity. Absorbing huge numbers of people who look different and behave differently and then effectively dumping them in areas which are effectively already severely economically and socially compromised through policy and then telling those people to get on with it and, worse, demonizing them when they push back has been an act of supreme recklessness and a dereliction of duty by our political and economic masters.

As a Belfast man it fills me with pride to see the ethos of the Troubles finding a new home in England and beyond. It was said that the ethos of the Troubles was anachronistic, not of this world at this time. Now we know that this lazy description was wrong. The ethos of the Troubles is all too contemporary, it is finding a home at various speeds in various towns and regions in accord with the level of immigration. The mass immigration of course brings with it old 'values' and dark religious theologies. The street skirmishes in parts of England remind me of the street skirmishes that took place in NI in the late 1960s. They moved on after taking a break from the wet weather to house burnings and then to armed militias, dedicated to defending their own community. This is your future and you won't be able to stop it by invoking abstract liberal principles in morals and politics.

Arris is right about identity. From what I recall David Lamy is able to identify as African, West Indian, British and English. But the English callers could not get through to him that he was not ethnically English. In other words citizenship and ethnicity are often merged to be one and the same thing when they are not. For example a Nigerian taking Italian citizenship all of a sudden becomes Italian ! Citizenship wise yes but not ethnically. And because migration is broadly to the west, Europeans are in effect being told that they don’t have an ethnicity as such but a citizenship. Therefore anyone who has the same citizenship is no different. True legally etc etc but it does not recognise history etc
