I said it was both ways. Large numbers of immigrants from the same background clump together. White flight exacerbates the polarisation.

It doesn't exacerbate it. It directly plays a part in creating the ghetto. The ghetto wouldn't exist otherwise.

The majority of MI5's and counter terror police work is nothing to do with the IRA, nothing to do with state actors like Russia, China, Iran.

Someone came out from MI5 in the last year and said the biggest threat to this country is China and Russia, so I imagine its more your opinion that fact TBH.

I think in many parts thats an over played narrative based on extremism in religious views rather than cultural views, which happens in all religions BTW.

I grew up in a massively multicultural upbringing amongst Turkish, West Indian, Bangla, Pakistani and as a community it worked well, loads of community activities, loads of integration, many of those people although loyal to their roots seeing themselves as British.

People often don't want to accept that in many places multiculturalism has been a success, but it has and its evident in food, music, art, sport and in many communities around the country

100,% this I grew up in Tottenham & Wood Green I had friends from all races & religions & they were some of the nicest people you will ever meet. Guess what not once was I called a white clam by anyone from an ethnic background. Unlike them who had to put up with vile crap.

Here's a more positive spin on UK multiculturalism.

I have been challenged by readers to write something less depressing about the state of the country.

And I will be frank, I have walked in South London and been called honky, but I don't then cast a wide net on South London as some anti white "Ghetto"...........you take some things as anecdotal and treat everyone else as you take them,

Some of the best times of my life have been in mixed ethnicity surroundings
