Multiculturalism identifies our respect for Tolerance, it is the recognition of a fact that we are all equals, Individually. the "them" in this case, are the Intolerant.
kurupetos, i would like to plonk you on a street, anywhere but in the Occidental world and see how fast you will adapt; what comes around goes around. if you had any balls, or imagination, you would realise that we live in a big world, and if Cyprus is a navel or a spleen, i suggest you think a little more carefully about the influence that you wield. higher fences, and less Liberty behind them will not resist natural change. a different attitude of mind is needed, you are no different to those two guys who stood there, chatting with their hands covered in blood, waiting for the Police. British, like Cypriot, or Afghan, heroism, is demonstrated by the lady who remained calm, and, as far as i know she has not lashed out, making stereotypes and from them generalising.
...i cannot say multiculturalism has failed, we fail by accepting such a notion, and next we will be accepting any "ism" foisted upon us by an elite who define "themselves". something is wrong with the debate, when we as Persons dismiss the Rights of Individuals, because "we" are a majority (within this ("our" own) realm), in this case the English may well need to consider that they need to form a Constituency, an equal to others (and take care of their "English" themselves) to sustain their distinctions as an Identity (it gives the Welsh, Irish, and Scottish a voice) much like the "Greeks" who would have the same Liberty to demonstrate their Goodwill, if as States they evolve Bicommunally. and we can hope that in this sense, an idea of Universal Principals is refined in a manner where Nations are Peoples to be treated and respected as equals, but States are a People over all.
...in a way, if you want to get twisted, what happened on London streets is normal if Immigration Policy is askew. is this any worse than Jack the Ripper, given the numbers, and the demographics; study the behaviour of rats in the same crisis filled overcrowded conditions. Free Movement, Free Association, Free Expression; what do you expect?
Wake up before you become the next victim.
