He sounds exactly like Lil Fidel. England is gone and when the fools hand the country over to labor next election they will close up the grave.

Is he ignorant of history?

Does he not understand that the Mohamedans will grow in numbers until the rest of the population is terrorized into submission?

The U.S. was multi-ethnic and successful before King George kicked the bucket.
Truthfully it was both even before we kicked George’s butt and became the U.S.

Yes: Deliberately! By the very ethnic groups and Islamic extremists they brought in!
