> This takes as axiomatic that people with incompatible beliefs in one area cannot work together in a different area. "Beliefs" are when you think The Strokes are superior to The White Stripes, or that Giordano's deep dish pizza is superior to Lou Malnati's, or that IPAs are better than lagers. I'll happily work with people who espouse those beliefs, despite my beliefs to the contrary. I won't work with people who describe a Tommy Robinson march as "heartwarming", or who use terms like "demographic nightmare" [1] to describe immigration, or who amplify repeatedly-debunked [2] claims of "Pakistani rape gangs", all of which DHH did. That's bigotry, not beliefs. British culture isn't being eroded by immigration. It's being shaped by it, just like it has been for thousands of years. Where do you think your culture came from- thin air?!? - Romans gave Britain roads, baths, and Christianity. - Anglo-Saxons gave Britain Old English. - Vikings gave Britain laws and half its place names. - Normans made French the language of power and fused it with English. - The Crusades brought new foods, science, and art. And so on and so on. It's the height of ignorance to look at that incredibly diverse history, and then say "OK, but right now is the moment in time where we 'lock in' our culture for the rest of time." Culture has never stood still, and no one, not even DHH, gets to freeze it in place. Well, they can try, but they'll be pissing in the wind, just like the Tommy Robinson marchers were. I'll just leave this here: the folks in this Instagram reel [3], wearing the St. George's Cross flag and clearly on their way to the march, decided to stop and get a curry first. With the caption "When you're on your way to the racist march but the immigrant food is popping." 1. https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 2. https://tekin.co.uk/2025/09/the-ruby-community-has-a-dhh-pro... | ||
