IN reply to Mrs G Robinson (Letters, June 29) I could not believe that anyone could possibly think such rubbish, never mind write it.
As for her believing that the majority of people do not want to be in a multi-cultural society, I would be interested to know who elected her as the voice of the majority.
Where was she when the blacks and Asians first started arriving in this country? They came alone, leaving their families behind, not knowing what their future was.
What exactly did their future hold? -- the low-grade jobs that the people of Britain could not possibly degrade themselves by doing. I am sure that the Asians and blacks must have found it a barrel of laughs.
Mrs Robinson should start thinking why she was forced to become part of a multi-cultural society. What makes her think that this country has only recently been forced to be multi-cultural?
For many years we've had Welsh, Irish and Scottish people living here, or does she not classify them as multi-cultural?
Mrs Robinson is correct in saying that Britain is a small island, which only has a five to six per cent population of 'Immigrants' ('immigrants,' even though they have been born in Britain!). Why then does she feel so threatened by such a small number?
Name and address received.
