Blairs Ende des Multikulturalismus: „Adopt our values or stay away, Blair tells migrants“

Die Wende zur harten Labour-Fremdenfeindlichkeit verdient es notiert zu werden. Ein Bericht des Telegraph v. 9.12.2006: „

Tony Blair formally declared Britain’s multicultural experiment over yesterday as he told immigrants they had “a duty“ to integrate with the mainstream of society.In a speech that overturned more than three decades of Labour support for the idea, he set out a series of requirements that were now expected from ethnic minority groups if they wished to call themselves British.These included „equality of respect“ – especially better treatment of women by Muslim men – allegiance to the rule of law and a command of English.If outsiders wishing to settle in Britain were not prepared to conform to the virtues of tolerance then they should stay away. He added: „Conform to it; or don’t come here. We don’t want the hate-mongers, whatever their race, religion or creed.

„If you come here lawfully, we welcome you. If you are permitted to stay here permanently, you become an equal member of our community and become one of us. The right to be different. The duty to integrate. That is what being British means.“ (Text)
