// How do you know that, did they have their country's names around their necks?//

yeah !
AOG has just come fresh from a bizarre 'accents' thread where the Brit conductor of an orchestra gets the sack because he mimcked an accent s/o didnt like.....

yeah Mikey so they fact s/o has a Fransh accent - may mean they are Togolais ! And in Windhoek you can speak German ! [Windhoek is not a town in Germany by the way]
Yeah and in Singapore lots of people speak mandarin and not er Singaporean or whatever. Yeah and Sarf Efrica they dont speak Sarf Efrican but either English or Dutch or a click language whatever that is. and no one can understand any of them anyway ! and .....

You misunderstood jth what she is saying is, if Muslims actually threw gays off tall building, she would have been the first to go.

But she is still with us, so it's all lies. :0)

[Zacs-Master]

Cheers for the nom PP. although I do admire AOGs new technique of coming out with the warped workings of his mind in the OP, rather than us having to wheedle it out of him in a 'garlic escargot & pin' fashion during the thread.

/// As a late comer, could someone give me an appraisal of how we've equated that LGBT equates to Immigration? ///

A late comer or a late learner?

[Zacs-Master]

You tell me cos either way I'm perplexed at you attempting to correlate LGBT crime rates with immigration.

[anotheoldgit]

because dear sweet old AOG who is the OP
equates everything to immigration, big black fuzzy wuzzies ( sorry the Four Feathers was on teevee yesterday ) murdering us and worse in our beds at night without any squeak from the Press

Have I said any of those things? No I thought not, just lies and suppositions.

In normal circumstances I could take this person to court, but we are on AB where it appears any slander is tolerated.

[ummmm]

Take him to court...Jeez...it wouldn't be a long investigation.

Ho hum,,,,

ANOTHEOLGIT, what percentage of the attacks were carried out by immigrants four year ago and what's the figure now?

[sp1814]

AOG

I wrote yesterday:

//The rapid rise in attacks on LGBT people might be attributed to an increase in foreign cultures, but it's unlikely, because the figures don't correlate.//

//According to Migraton Watch, the biggest rise migration figures happened between 1997 and 2004. We would need figures on attacks during that period to determine whether there was a casual link.//

You've asked whether the attacks might be attributed to the rise in foreign cultures, but it's unlikely - because if it were, numbers would have steadily been increasing for decades. There has not been a significant rise in the past five years.

[sp1814]

The ultimate answer to your question is:

'It is doubtful, because there is no correlation or causal link between the two sets of stats'.

Hope that clarifies things.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks sp, at least I now understand the (rather tenuous and flimsy) background to the OP. I'm still waiting for AOG to come up with some figures which prove, or even go anywhere nearexplaining, the correlation.

AOG - ///// It could also be attributed to climate change if you want - anything can be 'attributed' to anything if you have an agenda to push. ///

Just like some on the Left who are blaming the Far-Right for the increase in attacks? //

Yes - just like that. Pick your personal demon, and attribute anything you want to it from excess litter to the earth spinning into the sun.

// Seems that on here one can blame anything, except those very sensitive reasons appertaining to foreign cultures and immigration.

Those subjects are a no, no it would seem. //

You are kidding, right? You blame foreign cultures and immigration every single day on this site, and have done for years!!!

I'm not sure where you think these subjects are a 'no no', but it's not the News Section Of The Answerbank, I think we all know that!

/// You blame foreign cultures and immigration every single day on this site, and have done for years!!! ///

Complete fabrication of lies, only 7 of my last 20 threads have touched on foreign cultures and immigration, and that is to be expected when 'foreign cultures and immigration' are the most reported news stories these days.

Even if the likes of you would rather wish it all to be swept under the carpet.

[EcclesCake]

Do you ever reflect on the utter tosh you spout on a daily basis AOG?

[Mamyalynne]

On some threads you feel guilty if you laugh, but often it's the only way to prevent the migraine kicking in again.

I am smiling at the thought of the Court Case and the queue of character witnesses though.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Poor AOG. Here he is ploughing a lonely furrow with all the fashionable intellectual elites of AB arraigned against him. Even Naomi who would normally support the general point of the OP seems hostile.
