I won't post the whole thing, but I wanted to highlight one thing:
Riiight...so immigrants push in the queue and spit everywhere, which is why respect, values and morals have gone out the window? How stupid. Even moreso is the fact that this winds people up to the extent that they are upset at the mere presence of an immigrant. Or maybe it's stupid to think you can spot an immigrant by the way s/he pushes in front of you to get on the bus???Measures urged on migrant 'fears'
Fears that mass immigration is unsettling some communities in Britain mean local authorities should identify potential hot-spots, a report says.
The Commission on Integration and Cohesion suggests ministers consider ways of handling potential problems.
These include cultural briefing packs and specialist integration teams to tackle fears over migrants.
...
"The packs might say that we like to queue at the Post Office and the bus stop and we don't really like spitting in the street," said a spokesman.
...
"Things like that sound very simple but can drive members of the settled community barmy - when it might be that new arrivals just don't know about things like that."

No, even MORE stupid is the fact that they think immigrants CAN'T wait in a queue, and don't know the 'hidden cultural norms' of Britishness. That aside, I do agree with these packs, but not necessarily 'integration' packs, but more like the Life in the UK book - general knowledge about the UK, but maybe with half the book focussing on the specific region that the immigrant lives.
But, exactly who would these 'specialist integration teams' be? OH! The POlice of course! Or immigration 'assistants' that work on the street, giving help to newcomers, and checking their ID cards whilst offering 'assistance'?
