Immigrants Should Try “Feeling British”

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 9, 2001: UK Home Secretary David Blunkett has urged people from ethnic minorities to develop what he calls a “sense of belonging” in Britain. In a newspaper interview, he says racism is often deep-seated and must be confronted, but immigrants who settle here must do their bit to ensure that future generations grow up “feeling British.” But Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy said there was a danger the home secretary’s remarks could be misinterpreted to mean immigrants should abandon their culture in favor of that of Britain.
