And You Wonder Why Some People Are Anti Immigraiton

[Guilbert53]

This appeared on the BBC Birmingham web site today. A large number of black drug "gang" members banned from the city centre

People who live near a city with mass immigration (as I do living on the edge of Birmingham) realise the huge damage immigration has done.

Of course those living in the country or in (or near) cities of low immigration have no idea what the "fuss" is about with immigration.

And as an extra in the last week or so we have had the police raiding dozens of houses (mostly of black / asian people) and hundreds arrested in the lead up to the Notting Hill Carnival and the confiscation of guns and knives and the seizing of class A and class B drugs.

I hope our politicians are happy with the way they have ruined this country over the last 30 or 40 years.

I'm sure Bliar is grinning from ear to ear.

Dont think he ever got the coat hanger removed from his gob though.

[FinnyMick]

Just waiting for the usual "they were born here, not immigrants" carp

[youngmafbog]

It will come once they have stopped knitting yoghurt.

I concur. Ex Brummie seen it, felt it, watched ereas deteriorate. My wife ex Londoner, same thing, no go areas, good houses in posh places now slums rife with drugs, crime, knives etc. Those not experienced it think we exaggerate or make it up. Or call us racist, bigotry etc. Fiddle while we burn comes to mind.

From the article in your link: "Organised gangs in Birmingham have been a part of the city's life since the 1870s. "

I wondered how long it would be before someone came up with that.

[ummmm]

Here we go....!

Can't have a pop at someone for reading the whole link can you?

Gang culture and crime has long been known in Cities and large towns.

Can immigration be linked to some of it - yes of course in part it can.

Seems like that yoghurt has been knitted.

[Mamyalynne]

Have you fashioned some antimacassars?

[anotheoldgit]

At one time in the past, we once chopped off heads.

Why can't you just admit that Gang Culture has been increased due to mass immigration?

[Mamyalynne]

head in the sand time AOG..dont like the truth perhaps it might go away!

[FinnyMick]

The only ones with their heads in the sand are those who cannot see the damage done by mass immigration

[Berniecuddles2]

er thats what i sort of meant

[FinnyMick]

Sorry, I thought you meant AOG has his head in sand, lol.

[Mamyalynne]

Who has their head in the sand?

TheChair quoted the article and I accept that the make up of a population is directly linked to the crime in the area.

I didn't grow up in a country cottage with roses round the door but a tough gritty mill town which has always been multicultural, yes more so now.

It has its problems like most towns has.

I landed on these shores as a 6 year old ,38 years ago. I work and pay taxes, I'm not and never have been in a gang (unless you count our attempt at being the "red hand gang" about 30 odd years ago).

not every immigrant is in a gang and not every gang is made up of immigrants....

[Mamyalynne]

Ah - the notorious 'Red Hand Gang', dodgy bunch they were.

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like were somewhere between 18 and 29 years too late to wonder.
