All of the research I have seen finds white middle class people to be most segregated -residentially but also at work & social

this is a largely white country. It's not the job of people already living here to integrate. It's the job of new arrivals.
-
By equating 'new arrivals' with 'non-whiteness' you reveal the essential racism underlying your statement, Julia.
-
no, Lucy raised the white issue, not me. The entire report is about a failure of ethnic AND religious integration
-
You raise the question of 'whiteness' directly in your tweet. New arrivals who are white are presumably OK.
-
no, Lucy raised it. I replied, addressing HER point. Do you see the difference?
-
"This is a largely white country".
-
you're questioning that statement. Why? Do you think it's a false statement?

Prof Ted Cantle said similar 15 yrs ago after Oldham/Bradford riots. Govt ignored his report. So now guess what happens next?
-
Absolutely not true. Cantle report led to huge new policy agenda on community cohesion
-
Ah! A policy agenda! But was it put into practice? Does the evidence suggest it worked?
-
1. Yes. 2. Huge numbers of studies published evaluating community cohesion. Too many to tweet conclusions
-
yes, but nothing was actually DONE as a result to improve social cohesion.
-
huge amounts were done. At issue is perhaps definition of social cohesion? Are were all meant to cohere or just some?
-
B/c main finding RE:CC was Muslims targeted to cohere with others in poor areas: anti-extremism was aim, not cohesion

that's just not true. Have a look at the Gallup poll of UK Muslims: they have more respect for UK law than non-Muslims

not all polls are equal - Gallup's was the largest ever social research study. & your image says nothing about Sharia
