Perhaps the pavement should play a warning to tell us there is a bus coming.

I totally agree klondike. In the more upmarket areas, where the immigrant population is more educated and higher earning, there is more integration.  The numbers are less of course. Its areas that have been taken over by people with different cultures and standards where the problems have mainly arisen.

Lots of truth in your post too JBR.  Bradford is a prime example.

With that in mind, perhaps we ought to rename the position of PM as Ayatollah since their job seems to lead shite politicians.😬

It certainly should be 'Ayatollah Khan', if it isn't the title already used by his fellow muslims in Londonistan.

Quote from: klondike on Today at 09:37:08 AMThe fact that there are specific areas with high immigrant population is a direct result of the push for multiculturalism rather than integration. A big mistake imo.

How often do you hear comments along the lines of "He's coloured/Indian/Muslim but he's ok". The ones that are accepteted will be those who made the effort to integrate. The rest just lead to tensions and resentments. You only have to read a lot of the posts here to see that. Mostly "He's" too as many of the women are simply kept away from those nasty British whose country they live in.

How many immigrants or even second and third generation women of some cultures simply can't speak any English? Don't tell me I don't speak Punjabi, Swahili, Arabic, whatever - I shouldn't need to as I chose to stay in my country of birth speaking the national laguage.

Exactly.  The difference between those immigrants we should welcome and those we should reject is simply 'integration'.

That explains why certain cities are becoming predominantly muslim is that most of them, at least those in such places, choose not to integrate and, instead, want to take control of their chosen locations.  This itself encourages even more of them to choose specific places in order to feel more at home and, disturbingly, more in control.

Many of those muslims who are a real asset to the country, choose to live alongside white British.  The obvious reason is that they wish to integrate rather than take over.

Quote from: Ashy on Today at 12:25:01 PMOn the other hand, the same mayor who is so keen on having zero bus/pedestrian incidents by 2041 is building cycle lanes all over London which run between the road where the bus stops and the pavement where the bus stop is. The bus plays a warning to watch out for cyclists when leaving the bus.

I can see the benefits of encouraging cycling for a number of reasons: healthy transportation, no emissions, etc., but when cyclists are given more rights on the road but without any means of identification if and when they break the law, it will lead to trouble.

If Khan wants to try to punish law-abiding motorists, I believe he will eventually turn many more people against him - law abiding people.

Appears that Hamster Youssef has resigned today, just him, not the whole governnent.

Well done for checking them out!

I wonder what they will make them sound like. I gather, by the way, that devices to make your car sound more interesting, have been around since about 2009.

I'd like our buses to sound like Concord taking off.

Of the other suggestions, putting fences up with automatic gates in them along every bus route would cost about 3 trillion pounds without future maintenance, so it's probably the solution the mayor will adopt.
