The tourist industry in Egypt has dropped through a hole in the toilet floor thanks to radical Islamic terrorist attacks.
I wouldn't go there again if you paid me.

Then they should read the brochure before booking travel. London is the original Western metropolis, in the literal sense of that term. It used to be the nerve center of a world-spanning empire, and it's been teeming with Indians, Sikhs, blacks - people from anywhere the Union Jack was planted would show up, and a lot would make it home. This is not new. You might as well complain of Indonesians in Amsterdam or Algerians in Paris.

Of course, there's likely to be a whole lot fewer Europeans in London going forward...

I'm talking about why people visit English destinations, not why they go to some Turd World place. Of course there are tourists that go to Egypt (to see the pyramids, obviously, not to be around a bunch of muslims), and for the Taj Mahal...well I have no idea why anyone would want to go there. It seems like a high price to pay, to spend days crapping yourself just to get a first-hand look at one ugly old building. Who cares?

I said English people. Read the post. A minority in their own capital. Sad stuff.

Actually commonwealth foreigners were not allowed citizenship until like, 60-65 years ago. So your statement is trying to make it sound like has always been "multicultural" when in fact it has not until very recently.

Why do you shills push this multi-culti revisionist crap so hard? Whats in it for you?

Even if you look at just Muslim terrorism, the USA has been hit harder than any European country, 9/11 alone did more damage than all other terrorist attacks combined, then you also have Ft. Hood, Boston Marathon, the New York City attacks in 2017 with the van driver, Orlando, the lady being shot in Minnesota by the Somali cop (may well have been jihad-motivated some now think), the rapes of women and even little girls in places like Michigan, New Hampshire and Minnesota (just like Rotherham in England) and the San Bernardino attacks. Practically every US city is more dangerous than anywhere in Europe, even just looking at the tiny factor of terrorism, leave alone the much higher general crime rates in the US. (Not to mention the fact that most of the Muslims are having to leave Europe anyway, France's laws for example make it about impossible to practice the religion and in Germany the Syrians are being forced to leave).
Yes America is more screwed by diversity and further ahead of Europe especially since the 1960s. But that doesn't mean diversity isn't and won't screw up Europe too.

I first visited London in - God, I'm old - 1980? And you can bet your bowler it was a melting pot then as well.

People go to London because they want to see and partake of English culture and traditions, not the balkanized Middle East foreign mob with non-English clothing, language, accents, foods, customs, etc.
That’s were your wrong, one of the big things in London is their collection of foreign art which represents foreign cultures- Just in the British Museum their are over 200,000 pieces of foreign art. Also their isn’t a single majority black neighborhood in London or a majority Indian or Arab one for that matter. London is a very integrated city. The blackest part of London is 27% Black. The most Asian part of London including Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Bangladeshis etc. at 43% Asian. Their might be two or three majority Asian boroughs by 2020. Also about Arabs-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hb8StkuMO5g this event of wealthy Arabs coming to London attracts thousands of onlookers a year... City of Westminster which contains many if not most of London’s most popping areas is 35% British... Kensington and Chelsea is 39% British although it is likely majority White. But the idea that people go to London just for White Britons isn’t true at all. It’s like saying people go to NYC just for White Americans. London and New York together are considered the two most dominant cities in the world and it has everything to do with the diverse set of people that live there leading to companies that dominate the world having headquarters there. The richest people in the UK for example is a list dominated by immigrants, who now live and invest in the U.K. itself if you don’t see how London could benefit from its diverse population...
