So that was my story. I do think that only 47% of Londoners considering themselves British is a problem. It means that probably, integration of immigrants failed, and your country is divided. In GB as well as the Netherlands there will be more mosques than churches in a while. But that is also because less and less people are Christian. I still think extreme right movements are a bad thing, even if Donald Trump may be right in this respect. Immigration is only a good thing if integration succeeds, but that always takes a long time or it never happens, so it brings problems to the country that visits those people. That's another good point you make: the name Xmas as the non-Christian equivalent of Christmas.

It's the same with Carnival in our country. People misbehave in a panda outfit, they get drunk, while originally it had a Christian meaning, but nobody thinks of that anymore. It's just: oh, a party! Let's celebrate it! What do we care where it came from.
