Why Multiculturalism is so destructive - the example of England

MEP Daniel Hannan in Newsweek:

Even worse is the way multiculturalism has radicalized second-generation immigrants. British-born boys have been rounded up on the battlefields of Afghanistan. Two traveled to Gaza as suicide bombers. Others have been involved in terrorist attempts at home. Pundits, observing that many of these young men have been supported by the British welfare state, wonder why they are biting the hand that feeds them. Yet it is precisely their interactions with the state that taught them to despise it. If they learned any British history at all in school, it will have been presented to them as a hateful chronicle of racism and exploitation. For four decades, Britain’s elites have derided the concept of patriotism, insisting that the nation-state ought to be dissolved into a wider European polity. Finding Britishness scorned, many people are groping back toward older identities as English or Scottish. But where does this leave the children of settlers? What is there for them to be part of?

The problem of course is that our government and particularly our education institutions are filled with people that make their livings sustaining fragmentation and teaching contempt for our nation. More Hannan:

As Upton Sinclair once remarked, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends upon not understanding it.”

We have a lot of work to do, don't we?
