Charles Rostkowski - do you know how many Muslims there are in the UK? Around 1% of the population at last census. Have you been reading The Daily Mail or The Sun too much? Get real! Creativity depends on diversity and tolerance. If you knew anything about Muslims and Sharia Law, you'd know that the main objections relate to financial and divorce law. What exaclty are the implications for borrowing and divorce for Muslims on the ability of the UK to exploit the creative class? Close to zero, perhaps? Only scaremongerers equate Sharia Law with beheadings and stonings. I’ve only just the read this post.

My personal favourite, San Francisco, has become a bohemian theme park without the bohemians. ....Long-run advantage?

Not sure how this works in britain. That said, the US likely needs a national debate on these issues.

Just in terms of demographics (which, as we often hear, is destiny)this will make the development of a creative Britain difficult. The same may be said of Scandinavia and Europe as a whole. An active jihadist minority acting like the mafia can make life very difficult for those who wish to be creative. Remember Theo Vangoh. That murder was not a good sign for the creative class anywhere in Europe given the long arm of sharia law.
