    This name talk makes me think of this article from about 10 years ago that there are no more Garys lol

    We should cherish our Garys: they’re a dying breed | Fay Schopen

    That's a bit extreme, don't you think? Calling anyone that wants to keep control of their borders and immigration a fascist is "slightly" overplayed. Only an invader/sympathizer would call people, that want control of their nation, fascists.

    Define fascists for us... for us while you're tossing logical fallacies out like candy on Halloween.

    Well, you and the fascists certainly have lamenting the consequences of decolonization in common lol. "I cant believe all those people from countries that were part of our empire and we claimed to be civilizing want to move here and live here!" And freaking out about people with the name Mohammad and assuming they arent as British as a guy name William is pretty racist, rick.

    I already said that I should have same traditional... try and keep up of you're going to focus on you preferred talking points. My point is that there seems be many peoples flooding into England whose preferred first names for their male children is Mohammad.

    That is the point. Not traditional names per se. Try and keep up.

    So if a guy is named like William Abdullah and practices Islam, you are like "cool and traditional" but a secular guy named Mohammed Fatah who enjoys cricket and football and pints on the weekend you are like "get him out!" This stuff is all very nonsensical rick.

    Stop calling people fascists... Keeping national traditions and a national identity, and stability, is not yours to take.

    You don't get a free pass at demanding uncontrolled illegal immigration here, nor anywhere else on Earth.

    Lol... You really need a past time or a hobby. Why are you so interested in flooding nations abroad with peoples from other countries? Are you a human trafficker?

    Yes, talk all you want, and say what you want, but it does not make it right nor does it necessarily make it true.

    What is your point? Why can’t people who name their kids Mohammad go to England? Was it okay when people who named their kids Rick flooded to America? Say the quiet part out loud Rick.

    National identity is not a racists tenet... only a human trafficker would say that.

    You think I care about your logical fallacies... and strawman arguments? Child please...

    Yes look at what we did to the aboriginal Americans. We all are immigrants here. I have always wanted to ask this of someone. If you had a Time Machine would you use it to stop your forefathers from getting on the boat and coming here?

    You are saying if you have a certain name or background that it is against a perceived national identity - that is 100% a racist tenet lol

    This reminds of this terrific Trevor Noah comedy about British colonialism.

    That's just an observation, nothing more. You invented the erroneous label.

    But sovereign nations are not racist if they refuse people's from other countries, no matter if their names are john and George or Mohammad. The name reference is to point out just how much the city of London is changing. I just wonder if that is on purpose... or other.
