Can't be arsed to read the story, but heard that Merkel had been saying something about it.
Speaking of this multiculturalism thing in general, it's simply a bad idea - why - because it's Social Engineering, and that rarely, if ever, works out in the end.
It has led to a totally un-natural pattern of migration and has generated untold amounts of ill feeling amongst communities, and far from 'getting everyone mixed in like some hippy commune of love and peace' all that has happened is that communities have divided themselves according to colour, or origin. There's a town up north somewhere where it literally divided down the middle - one side is for the natives who are almost entirely white, the other side is for non-indigenous folks who are mostly Middle Eastern/Asian/etc, and neither side dares set foot in the other.
*slow claps* Yeah ... well done to those who thought it'd be a good idea.
Frankly there are plenty of natives in the UK I'd like to see not living here, so immigration is a good thing - but allowed vast quantities of people, with no proper screening process for years or number caps, is just an utterly retarded idea. I think the South Park episode 'goobacks from the future' summed it all up perfectly. If you haven't seen it, go and see it.
Immigration should be a natural thing that isn't actively encouraged by any government or country. It should be properly controlled so that you keep the bad guys out and only allow the good guys in.
And yes, as has been said, if you move to another country you should be responsible and ... you know, "when in Rome" ... if I moved to Germany or some other nation, then I'd be expected to learn the language to get by day-to-day, as well as try and fit in with everyone else, rather than find the nearest fellow Brit and just stay with them talking English the entire time. I'm not saying "all one way" about these things, obviously if you've got a lot of Polish in your area for example (as we do in my area - being that there are so many farms around) then we now have in our small town a Polish food shop that recently opened. That's just fulfilling a market need and it's totally understandable ... the gangs of Polish do tend to stand out, like when they go as a group to get their shopping and are waiting for the bus back to the farm where they live on-site, but they're not going to be able to fully connect with this area - this isn't their home after all. They had to leave their home because there wasn't money or work.
Which brings me onto another aspect - why not seek to make Poland (for example) a stronger economy, so the people there aren't forced to leave their homes and families to go and live and work in some strange land where they'll meet with a fair amount of resistence from the locals (as well as plenty of people who'll be fine with them, yes)? Surely the best idea is to try and make the country - in this example Poland - a stronger economy so that the people can stay with their homes and families? That has always baffled me and continues to do so.
Simply speaking, if you do move to another country - whoever you are and wherever you go - then you must learn the language, obey the laws of the land, and 'do as the Romans do' so-to-speak, and treat your host nation with respect.
There are plenty of people who are doing that, but there are plenty of people who aren't - and of course another problem with poorly controlled and checked immigration is crime. The worst that Europe has to offer entering whichever country and causing havoc. People trafficking other people. Criminal gangs bringing drugs, violence and human trafficking into the host nation.
In short, it has to be something that happens naturally, at a natural pace that everyone can get along with. The die-hard xenophobic racists will never keep up, no matter how glacial the pace, but society at large will and what's more there wouldn't be unsuitable floods of people and cultures coming together like two storms clashing, something that can only lead to problems. This social engineering stuff is utter bollocks, and this forced multiculturalism was always a stupid idea forced on us by people who think along the lines of 'well if you have any concerns about it, then you're a scumbag racist' (and quite often by people who never actually have to witness first hand the impact such policies have).
...
So, in conclusion, you should learn the language of your host nation. You should respect the laws of the land and the local customs. Whoever you are, where ever you are. Governments shouldn't force swift and widespread changes to society upon its people as it only leads to fear, intimidation, suspicion, violence, ill-feeling and segregation - and even crime and other untold horrors. Socities must be allowed to develop and change at their own pace - don't meddle - don't engage in social engineering.
