You don't need the people from the country in question in this one just to eat their food... Whats wrong with just visiting a country and bringing back the recipes/ style of cooking?

Indeed.
Most of the real hard blokes I know (quite a few given my career) don't cause trouble in the first place. I haven't had a decent dust up since we knocked seven bells out of a bunch of US marines 7 years ago and that was for fun, for all of us.
Nothing wrong with that. you are right, you are wise.
OK I will reword my experiment, how many British dishes are there that have not had foreign influences i.e. the fry-up
Maybe my timing is a little off with this matter, what seems like a heated discussion has arisen
Yet you yourself lump 'most immigrants' in one group, who all act the same. Isn't that stereotypical?

Interesting you say that, a friend recently told me that nothing in an 'English Breakfast' is actually English! I was skeptical at first, but then I thought about it
Ignorance is simply lack of knowledge. How about you spreading some of that astounding wisdom you're hiding behind such a pointless, baiting post as this?
The argument's been done to death hundreds of times on this forum. I have nothing new to contribute to it.
Ignorance can also be the dismissal of information, or the lack of comprehension due to low intellect or simply that they ignore the facts purposely.

I'm on form for getting things wrong tonight I must go to sleep!!!
You are technically correct I cannot even get around that by saying I said Fry-Up not English Breakfast LOL, the Fry-Up variations include:Full Irish, Ulster Fry, Full Scottish, Full Welsh.
Sorry if I'm making people Hungry... OK British dish erm! The Sunday Roast?
Did I get one right?

The Cornish Pasty, or Cottage Pie for the win.

Well, thanks for posting anyway?
As for the cuisine debate, it's not really the same. Cuisine is non-rivalrous.
No worries!

See, this thread has sparked up some debate. At times, certain members have said some silly things, but on the whole, we've had good discussions.
This is because we are a diverse group of people. diverse in our thinking, our views, opinions and personality. What the OP is suggesting is that he wants there to be a far greater ratio of English people in this country. This suggests that he wants people to be the same/similar. If this were to happen, things would be so boring as we'd essentially be robots. Embrace ethnic diversity, it allows people to see things from others' point of view, and therefore makes us more informed as a race.
And above all remember, how different we all may be, it is more remarkable to note how similar we all are

When some one rants about being English, and they're "proud" to be English, yet use English worse than a foreinger, they deserve to be ridiculed about it.
It's no coincidence that the majority of racists on this forum have absolutely terrible English.

"Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled at winning do not become afraid. Thus the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win."
People who complain about such matters, and state that Britain should be Britain, they're going against the ideas the British Empire had with colonisation. If "true" Britains hated the idea of foreigners, the Empire wouldn't have went around the whole world, setting up colonies, and bringing back aspects of those countries with them over their however many years.
I'm pretty sure they brought people back with them too.
Britain by its very definition is multicultural, it always has been. It's only the retarded, for want of a better word (I can't think of any other way to describe the racists in this thread) people who even have an issue with it. They feel threatened by things out of their bubble that they call reality and lash out.
Everything is extremely black and white to them, and they prove it all the time. Especially the op, complaining about foriegn people speaking their own languages, what do you expect?
There's speaking your own language to your own family and friends, and there's refusing to learn and speak the country's language at all, they're both very different things.
That's along the lines of stating they shouldn't eat their own "home" foods, but instead eat only food available from British suppliers, grown in Britain. I hate it when I see a foreign person working in the public domain (bus drivers for example) who literally can't speak English. It baffles me as to why they'd get a job, where it can be important to communicate with people, when they can't speak the language?
But then I can't blame the person themselves, they're trying to earn a living so they can eat and have a place to live. So instead I was annoyed with the bus company instead.
The distinctions are important, it's again not like you're in a group of people, and two of them keep talking to eachother in their own language making it look like they're trying to "Hide" something, that's rude, but it's not the same as seeing a foriegn family walking down the street talking in their native language.
How about, as well as telling people they must speak English at all times while in England, also telling them to learn an English accent too, so they don't sound foreign?
