A British judge has said that immigrants who beat their children should get special treatment according to this story in The Telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11663029/Immigrants-who-beat-their-children-should-get-special-treatment-says-judge.html
In her ruling the judge said: "Proper allowance must be made for what is, almost certainly, a different cultural context."
Allison Pearson's article, also in The Telegraph recalls the tragic case of Victoria Climbie. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11665301/Allison-Pearson-Did-Victoria-Climbies-death-teach-us-nothing-about-multiculturalism.html
I entirely agree with Clive Lavelle's letter in the Western Daily Press on December 1st 2014 which although referring to a different case is just as pertinent.
Behaviour is not part of our culture
Back in February 2011, you published a letter from me in which I said that I am all in favour of a multi-racial England, but that immigrants should adapt to English customs and culture, and not expect the locals to adapt to theirs.
On Points West, the other night, I learned about the conviction of three Somali men who abused and raped girls as young as 13. They claimed that this behaviour was part of their culture.
Well, it is not part of ours.

This is England, our laws must be applied equally to all regardless of anyone's ethnic or cultural origins.
