Judging by the audience Obama is convincing to stay in Europe, why are the white European indigenous population of these Islands, only recognisable by their absence?

[THECORBYLOON]

Perhaps they were non-white Europeans? Just a thought.

This was in London where white Brits are a minority.

Was that the one where the Muslim girl signed her death warrant?

I have never met anyone non-binary. In terms of reproduction, they may be at a disadvantage. So it is for that reason I disagree with you that they are the majority.
The audience consisted of 550 young people. How did you solicit all their views?

Most of whom consisted of people of cultures alien to European culture, but encouraged and protected by the EU.

*** Calais 'Jungle' camp volunteer Khadijeh Najefi, 21, introduced Mr Obama ***

*** One Sikh man asked about ethnic profiling at airports, while another 'non binary' person, Maria Munia, 20, queried gender issues. ***

It is not rocket science why they are in favour of staying in the EU?

[THECORBYLOON]

How are the views of half a dozen folk representative of the vast majority who were there?

Who ever said that non-binary persons in particular are in the majority?

[Gromit]

3 audience members were not of European origin (though they might be British born).
Out of 550, three is not 'Most'.

From what I have seen and read it seemed a very entertaining meeting with many topics discussed.

[THECORBYLOON]

"why are the white European indigenous population of these Islands, only recognisable by their absence? " if they are not there, how can you recognise them?

Obviously one doesn't know the views of each and everyone who attended the meeting, but you must admit that judging by those that did attend, they were not a true cross section of the British public.

[ChillDoubt]

I found it rather odd that Obama is urging us to remain in the EU but encouraged his audience to 'embrace change'.
And yes Svejk, sadly she quite possibly did.

[Gromit]

An 'invited' audience is not going to be representative of the nation. Only young people were invited, so an old man like yourself certainly would have been a minority.
The Mail unhelpful lay fails to tell us who arranged the Yown Hall and who chose the audience. That could possibly give a clue to the make up of the audience.

[THECORBYLOON]

I have no idea but then again you are relying on a very dubious poll to support your view that folk will vote to leave the EU.

And who said they were, take off those rose-tinted specs and take a glance at this picture of the audience?

*** It was never made clear just how the participants were chosen, but their make-up seemed to reflect what some might call our obsession with celebrating diversity. ***

*** Also in the audience – and name-checked by the President – was a Syrian refugee, Ali Hashem, who is now a councillor in West London. ***

In what way are British people in a minority in London?

What stats are you looking at?

Whilst the population of London has 45% 'White British', are you not aware that 'British' also encompasses people who are born in Britain, but are not white?

"Surely we are fast becoming the minority"

Do you mean in London, or the South East, or in England or the UK?

[naomi24]

SP, I didn't say British. I said white British - so we concur.

I can recognise by your absence when you are not on AB, because it makes life much more easier for me, not having to explain to you, what is completely obvious to most.
