Baz
You were asked earlier in this thread on what basis you justified your claim that the country is being overwhelmed (whatever that may mean) by immigrants. You cited some figures about a London borough, and you were questioned again as to why this supported your wider conclusion about the whole country.
When pressed you post responses like:
"people like SP will pick you up on it, theyll want to know how you arrived at the figures blah blah, they want verifiable facts and figures, I'm not to worried though"
"Youre the one arguing numbers.....as usual, whilst ignoring the general premis.....as usual, because you'd rather ague over numbers and minutai"
Given that your argument about 'overwhelming' is inherently a numerical one (how can it not be?), it is not remotely unreasonable for people to insist on numerical evidence to back up the argument you're making. Yes, baz, 'verifiable facts and figures' are an important part of trying to work out what the situation actually is before we act. But I'm not surprised that you're so sneering about people asking for them, because the impression I'm getting from this thread is that 'verifiable facts and figures' don't support your argument. But you're keeping up with it anyway, presumably because you think that's a laudable or 'principled' thing to do.
People like you are everything that's wrong with British politics. You don't care about facts, or any attempt to analyse them, you just care about satisfying your knee-jerk emotional arguments. And then you have the nerve to call other people detached from the real world (or whatever).
