Following Germany, Australia, Spain, and most recently David Cameron's denouncement of 'multiculturalism', it would appear that the world is finally coming to the realisation that only cultures that actually move in a similar direction can work symbiotically.
The obvious left leaning (as always) Question Time last Thursday did it's best to get criticism for Cameron's statements concerning this point, which is par for the course for the BBC mindset which still maintains that Islam is the religion of peace, despite nearly 17,000 deadly attacks perpetrated by its adherents since 9/11.
But whether the BBC itself likes the particular news or not, it is still supposed to report it, according to its mandate. Is it news when the French President also denounces 'multiculturalism'? One would think so, but you won't find any mention of it on the BBC website still after 2 days since it happened.
Funny how most of the other major media outlets thought it was newsworthy.

Nicolas Sarkozy declares multiculturalism had failed
French president Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday declared that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.
"We have been too concerned about the identity of the person who was arriving and not enough about the identity of the country that was receiving him," he said in a television interview in which he declared the concept a "failure".
Prime Minister David Cameron last month pronounced his country's long-standing policy of multiculturalism a failure, calling for better integration of young Muslims to combat home-grown extremism.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia's former prime minister John Howard and former Spanish prime minister Jose Maria Aznar have also in recent months said multicultural policies have not successfully integrated immigrants.
