Multiculturalism DOES work here............ to an extent.
I have been to leicester and other largely populated muslim areas(cambridge seems quite low comparitavely). They ruin it, i have never been to a majority muslim area and actually liked it. I worked in Tower Hamlets once and I constantly felt uneasy. Muslims do not seem to integrate at all, or even seem willing. Perhaps thats just the older generation, i dont know. Though I have had no problems with any other culture.
Cambridge probably has a huge variation of cultures simply because of the university. I may be wrong.
Multi-culturalism CAN work, but only when every culture really wants to integrate.
At the moment in the UK it seems to me that we are several cultures living side by side, rather than together.
