- ...and David Jones is a basically a fucking twatBluejam
- With 30-40% (outer vs. inner London) of the population foreign-born (never mind x-generation) how is this incorrect?detritus
- The majority of it certainly isn't 'English'.detritus
- After living in Brixton and Walthamstow, I can safely say that's what makes London great.monoboy
- We'll have to agree to disagree there.detritus
- It's been fairly foreign since the empire and imperialism began, no?lowimpakt
- No, nor were many places within the Empire, to which the British emigrated only at the highest echelons (or as soldiers) and even then mostly temporarily.detritus
- There's a grand and wholly irreversible experiment at play here without the consent of the British people. I'm curious to see what happens in 20 years time.detritus
- Experiment? Globalisation is about economics and growth.monoboy
- If you want cheap stuff, you'll need cheap labour. Blame neoliberal economics and the people exploiting it. Not the migrants searching for work.monoboy
- I'm fairly sure I've done nothing but blame our ponz.. capital system ever since I started being concerned about The Experiment.detritus
- As a son of emigrant and, technically, a sort of immigrant myself, I don't blame these people. But that does not mean I condone their being here in such numbersdetritus
- and as someone who lives in Haringey - the inbred mongoloid cousin of Walthamstow and Brixton - i feel I'm well placed to question your enthusiasm.detritus
- Also - I'm not sure the Great British people consented to globalism either. Certainly not the bulk of workers outside London and other cosmopolitan centres.detritus
- Experiment. Mongoloid. You sound a bit bitter about having 'foreigners' in your midst despite having no affinity to the area yourself. I find that odd. Move?monoboy
- Or isn't that the essence of the issue? Foreigners move in, locals move out.monoboy
- Haha, 'mongoloid' was a joke about Haringey, not the people in it. And yes, after the fashion that CO2 emissions are an 'experiment', so too mass immigrationdetritus
- And if I do leave on a principle, how am I actually doing anything other than entrenching the principle that concerns me? A quandary.detritus
- Samesame Brexit - I disagree with it, so what.. I move to Europe? Perverse.detritus
- And btw, I'm no racist per se - 'someone of my best friends are foreign cunts' etc - but I do think percentages and projections really do sincere considerationdetritus
- Grr phone correctionsdetritus
- It's crazy to me that there's no real dialogue about this issue by the significant portion of the population who are uneasy with it. I see something wrong theredetritus
- The issue is economic. Always is. Poorer folks get left in poorer areas, often unsupported to make what they can of the situation.monoboy
- They form communities and rally together. The indigenous folks feel inundated and leave. To be replaced by more incomers.monoboy
- The Government do little and it often looks like they do more for incomers simply because they have greater immediate needs. (Language and culture barriers).monoboy
- What I find incredible, is that these 'poorer immigrants' often succeed greatly here, whilst the locals spiral further into poverty.monoboy
- For immigrants, the UK is about aptitude and opportunity whilst the locals think the world owes them a living simply because of where they were born.monoboy
- Racism is the last crutch of the feckless. But our highly competitive society has let a lot of people down. We could do more.monoboy
- Conversely, some of the highest UKIP voting areas have the least immigrants. Says it all.monoboy
- Oh and granted, there are some immigrants that also contribute fuck all. But the figures would suggest that it's mostly positive... http://www.independe…monoboy
