Still want to vote Tory?

In the bigger picture more trade will lead to more prosperity everywhere, so fewer people will want to come here.

That would be fine if the population of India was comparable to ours. But theirs is 20 times our size, so an essentially limitless wealth sink.

These are an absolute number of offences. Most would mentally compare these offences per nationality

Most are uneducated and don't understand how to analyse what data is telling them.

The UK is all about double standards these days, let more Bob's in but try to keep other immigrants out even if they are economic migrants

And they are also willing to work for far less as are many of the other 7 billion inhabitants so in the short term (100 - 200 years) we will starve while offshore tax havens hold all the wealth. Far too easy a target for moral free capitalists.

Remember mostly the need for labour is falling with industrialisation.

They're like locusts. They're moving from planet to planet... their whole civilization. After they've consumed every natural resource they move on... and we're next. Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards.

Yup, that's what I was implying.

Sorry

You were too subtle, SAS would never understand, it may need data as well.

Why didn't she just say that most crimes are committed by people of non-UK or ethnic origin but picks on one of the groups which the Mail have singled out? Maybe next she'll have a go at black people...

She's using the same tactics as right wing politicians have done over the years, play on the fears of a majority being usurped by a minority. Just see Adolf, Mussolini, et. al.

I have no problem with what she said, the Roma are nothing more than an ethnic crime wave who should never have been let into the country.

Extrapolating what she said to likes of Hitler is some stretch even by the left's standards. Next up will be that poem "first they came for the communists" which always gets wheeled out on threads like this.

[sasguru]

Some gibberish to disguise the fact that he doesn't understand why the absolute figures are irrelevant compared to the rate for judging which ethnic minorities are most criminal

HTH, BIKIW

PS To make it crystal clear as I know very many on here are completely innumerate, what percentage of Romanians commit crimes? The number allowed in is a different issue, but we would need to compare each nationality by percentage as the absolute numbers are meaningless.

I won't make the obvious response to that
