Breakdown by ethnicity
46% Black or mixed black background
42% White

5% 'Other'
I'm not arguing about the statistics or the validity of measuring ethnic background, but I find it quite striking that the Wail chose to print ' Black or Mixed Black background' and 'Asian' in bold print and white and other in normal print. Are they trying to emphasize one group of people's role above another? If not, why do they need the selective use of bold print?Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

If just over half were under 21 and 1 in 8 were on incapacity or disability benefits does that mean that 1 in 4 of the over 21 were on incapacity or disability benefits ?
As it would be unsuall for an under 21 to be on incapacity or disability benefits

46% black
20% in gangs
Very 'representitive' of the population as the lefties kept saying. 'Oh it's not just one group' blah blah
Personally I thought the % benefits would be higher and the conviction bit lower.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
