OtE -
Having regard to your attitude towards Islington, with its high high level of severe deprivation and reliance on foodbanks, and other voluntary donations of free essentials, free help, free social care etc. freely given by others in the same community, in the absence of the good (albeit not perfect) welfare state this country had for a few decades, if the desire of the people there for inclusiveness, which, living in a different urban area further north I can also relate to, then you give the impression, OtE, of living in a somewhat privileged community/social environment, which might explain the voting habits, or rather non-voting habits of the people where you live that you refer to.
As for an area with lots of non-Brits, well I'll admit to a bias, living as I do in an urban area which has for a long time relied on not only locals but incomers.
Whether it was Norman invaders who saw fit to build a church near me, and contributed to the local church-based welfare state for centuries, or all those that helped build our trade and our environment, be that Dutch (including during the Boer War) and South Asians (before and after Independence and the Partition) and Irish (including during the Hunger, the War of Independence, and the Emergency), and Poles (usually thought of as during WW2, but also before and after), and Jews (that braved centuries of persecution and still do), and people from a whole range of other parts of the world, particularly parts colonised and exploited at the behest of those with power and influence in this country...I live somewhere where being English means being a mixture of centuries of blending locals with newcomers who braved hostility to contribute to what we are and what we have.
My favourite Christian song goes back to my younger days. "When I needed a neighbour, were you there...and the creed and the colour and the name don't matter, were you there?" There's a verse "When I needed a healer..." When I was a child, I had a GP who was an immigrant. Like many Jewish immigrants, he braved antisemitism to come here. Without him, I wouldn't have survived childhood. My current GP's family is from Uganda. We left a mess there by colonising, bringing lots of Indians, particuarly Gujaratis, creating nasty racial and social division instead of unity, then so very many people saying "Not our problem" when it resulted in yet another bloodbath.
And me? Well, I'm English born as were both my parents, but like most people where I come from, I've got bits of foreign in me. Didn't stop this country asking me to defend it. Didn't stop me putting my life on the line again and again. This country's terribly good at saying "Please come and help us" then "Bog off, we don't need you any more. Yes, we know you've now cut your ties with where your family came from and you've nothing to go home to, but you shouldn't have believed our urgings to come here and help us out." People who aren't wholly indigenous are treated as British so long as they're wanted, but as foreign when they're not. At least I'm English & British enough not to be turfed out unless and until someone gets all ethnic about it instead of nationalist.
But then I live in a country where a significant proportion of leading politicians from various political parties have got bits of foreign, and I swore an oath of allegiance to a queen with foreign origins as well as British.
I really wish I hadn't engaged in conversation with you, OtE. I wasn't aware of your views in relation to immigration and ethnicity.
It will not stop me, when walking down the street where I live, alive and safe, being thankful for the centuries upon centuries of immigrants that are the people that are now my neighbours. When I need a neighbour, they're there.
OtE, I have found it interesting to debate with you, but I now feel very uncomfortable. I'd always seen disability boards as places that favoured inclusion not objected to it.
