Enoch Powell's speech became true a good few years ago I'm afraid.
Did it? Rivers of blood. Where was that then? From what I can see, most of the time, most of the people, mostly get on with each other just fine. A few 
s of all creeds and colours excepted. But that was always the case.
I live in West London.

The UK will no longer be Great Britain, it'll be a muslim extremist hell hole.
Another PH nutter. It will be ruined by laws introduced by liberals
Allowing those that dont give a damn or contribute to take the p*ss to the point that the country can no longer function
The plus side is that at this point the country will then become less attractive to the Economic migrants that come here for no other reason than to take advantage of our current stupidity in handing out money to those that dont deserve it.
The positive aspect is that those with ability will probably rise up and create a society that gives a sh*t
This may end up being messy, but at least they wont be doing all the work for other to benefit.
Plus any fundamentalists may come up against people not shackled by doing the so called right thing!
Europe will probably see similar but sooner. I imagine with a slightly differing outcome. As i imagine they will become overun and anarchy takes hold. Maybe Germany will start building another wall!
Seems like doom and gloom lol
i blame the out of touch MPs, who appear to have no idea of how society is in parts of this country. And all the reports they have done will never give them a true insight.
They also represent Parties that dont seem to hold values that are representative of the overall electorate!

Have I stunbled onto the Daily Mail forums by mistake?
It staggers me that so much drivel can be posted by so many ill-educated people. The country will go to the dogs, not because of immigrants/muslims/funny looking people, but because they are provided as ready-made scape-goats for the idiot classes to blame.

There are things going on which are not politically sustainable, and will have to work themselves out in less than 50 years. Our current welfare state is a collapsing Ponzi scheme. The tension between the direction of the EU and the aspirations of the British public will need to be resolved one way or another. The economic performance of the West looks like a failing empire viewed from the emerging economies. We are crippling ourselves trying to reduce our carbon emissions while net emissions continue to rise because of development elsewhere - if we really think there will be adverse climactic consequences, we should be spending money on mitigation, not decarbonisation. Some accommodation will have to be reached with Islam, whether that is some sort of compromise or a proper secularisation of the UK. The Middle East is heading into ever more interesting times. Russia's position in the world is not stable. Europe's dependence on Russian energy is worrying.
I'm glad I will be (am) too old to be conscripted if the st hits the fan.

How very odd. Do you every leave your house? Do you ever open your eyes? Sorry, I can't work this one out.
I live in London too and have no idea what you're on about. What is it that you see that leads you to believe this?The 'anti-islam' stance on here in recent months is really quite shocking. I expect as much on NP&E where most posters are narrow minded, xenophobic idiots but not the lounge. Puts me off reading a lot of threads as I just dont get people who live in such fear of change whilst not bothering to learn anything about it. Some people have never heard of humanity/civilisation by the sound of it.
Grow up!
Grow up!

yeah, Islam seems to be a bit behind the times on that one, by about 300 years.Grow up!
Father Christmas and God (of any denomination). Can anyone explain the difference to me?
