Armed Police on our streets.

Is this is the downside of Immigration, that the politicians won't admit to, in their continuing quest to turn us into a Multi-Ethnic society?

With the disadvantages of mass immigration balanced against the advantages, which way do the scales tilt?

AOG - can you tell us all why Scotland has a murder rate of five times that of England in the 10 to 29 age group? We know that Scotland doesn't have the same immigration levels as England, so could we logically argue that British people have a predisposition to violence and we have actually now got a LOWER level of murder THANKS to immigration and that it is actually immigrants that are keeping the levels down.

Hang on a minute. Maybe fif we look at the 10 -29 age group and look at poverty levels, we might be able to find a link between poverty, education and violence.

Nah, lets just blame dem black folk.

When Powell was Health Minister, in the early 60's, he recruited Commonwealth Citizens to do the jobs that English people wouldn't do. (That has a familiar ring)
Apparently he later changed his mind and wanted them to go home.

This has got to be the absolute BEST ever Friday afternoon thread.

It's put me in a great mood for the weekend.

I have to get changed to go out now, but I would like to thank all of you (especially you AOG) for putting several grins on my face.

No, who would want to emigrate there?

The whole point is that in Jamaica's case it is their country men that emigrate to this country.

There are many, many countries in the World that have a poverty problem, but the same amount of violence and drug problems, don't seem to arise from these countries.

Once again don't you dare criticise the blacks, comes the cry.

I know because of shouts of racist many will not, but things can not continue to be swept under the carpet, because everything is beginning to seep out.

Just witness the violence that takes place in these countries, people hacked to death with machetes, car tyres put around people and then set alight etc etc. Perhaps these things don't seem to happen in the UK, but we do have vicious and savage gang rapes and gang shootings and stabbings.

The only reason that people shout 'racist' at you is because you ARE racist!

I thought we'd already established that!

What are your comments on Scotland's murder rate.

Hardly any blacks...loads of murders.

Will you glo silent on this one, the same way you did on the thread about the number of ex-servicemen who turn to crime?

AOG

A little research shows that these are the most violent countries in the world

Colombia
Russia
Lebanon
North Korea
Central African Republic
Chad
Israel
Afghanistan
Sudan
Somalia
Iraq

This is according to the Global Peace Index (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_peace_in
dex).


Have a read up, and then please explain why Russia - a country which doesn't have a large black population, tops the list.

Indeed, looking at the 'black' countries listed, it appears that they are on there because of ongoing wars.

So could you please explain to me, why 'white' countries are so violent

Didn't you think to check before posting?

You've had a very bad couple of weeks.

[jackthehat]

sp1814 - Please stop submitting facts and figures to a perfectly good knee-jerk reaction thread.

Honestly ! If we all went around forming well-reasoned, balanced views and arguing them in a sensible and respectful manner, where would we be ?

mumble...........hell...........mumble.......

Also done a little research as you requested.

AOG

So why miss out Columbia in your previous post???

[jno]

Zeuhl... just going back to your earlier post... surely the problem with pensions isn't wicked politicians, it's huge demographic change? Fewer kids to go to work, more retirees living longer? The template isn't working any more. Immigration is one solution. (Which is also an answer to aog's question.)

[sp1814]

Just noticed something...out of the top ten countries, two are 'black', three are in Latin America and five are 'white'.

What do those stats tell to you?

[anotheoldgit]

sp1814

Might also ask you, why did you miss both South Africa and Jamaica from your list?

[anotheoldgit]

sp1814

i notice you still have that large chip on your shoulder.

//// /" two are 'black', three are in Latin America and five are 'white'"./////

/////" What do those stats tell to you? "/////

Well since you brought up colour once again and then tried to blame the whites, by dismissing colour by mentioning 3 Latin America, lets start again.

The top three are mainly black and have a huge drug problem.

FACT.

This thread is probably dead now but I post for you Zeuhl. I did report your post. Feel free to be as annoyed as you like. I'd like to think the ed would have removed it anyway.

I've been away. Just after I reported your post I left to meet my son. Relax, it was long planned. Over dinner, not tea, I mentioned your post. You may be interested to note that HE did laugh. He's heard it all before. Always, he says, from people who have reason to dislike cops.

I'm not used to your style of posting and assume that is your style. Facetious means trying to be amusing. I do not have to find your offerings amusing tho, just because you do.
