You mean to tell me that trying to remove your political opponents by spamming them with court cases isn't popular with the voters? Been saying it for months, this strategy will only make Trump more popular. He's an expert at playing to the crowd and all they are doing is providing him with fresh material. The fact that Biden looks like he's just been dug up, hosed down and wheeled onto the stage won't be helping either.

Reverting to the usual glib replies when you have nothing to support your position . Well noted 😄.

Not really. It actually makes sense if you would open your mind for a second (unlikely). 1st gen immigrants chose to come for a better life. They appreciate what the UK gives them and know the reality of the country they came from. A lot of second and third gen immigrants seem to resent the UK and build up an idealized view of their 'country of origin' that they know nothing about. The likes of Anthony Joshua always banging on about how great Nigeria is when he's never lived there full time and made hundreds of millions in the UK on the back of Team GB at the olympics. Making speeches with BLM, telling people not to buy from non-black owned businesses (even though he works for Eddie Hearn and DAZN 😃). Americans do it too. Markle and her recent tour of Nigeria, declaring she is 'home' because she claims to be 43% Nigerian. A self declared feminist so complimentary of a country that multilates girls genitalia and forces them to marry in their early teens. Merching herself on the back of royal titles given to her by marrying a British Prince. A true feminist if ever I saw one. So yes, immigration can cause issues beyond the first generation. Even though you inevitably won't like the anecdotal examples above, the stats I provided from the UK government clearly back that up.

Of course. Most of the population is white so it's obvious. Same as most people in power in Scotland are white. Most murders in Japan are by Japanese. Whst a shock. I am talking proportionally to the population (about immigrants not race btw). Immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. Semantics. people born in the uk are not all first gen immigrants. Some are second or third gen immigrants. Some are indigenous. This is not about ethnicity. There are also white immigrants stabbing people to death like the guy who killed the 14 year old boy in London recently. I suspect if we added in crime by Asian and white immigrants the numbers would get worse. I was asked about the stats for black immigrants so I provided them. All your argument is proving is that second and third gen immigrants are probably more of a problem than first gen. So it's a long term problem as well as short term. Maybe more so. An interesting argument for someone who is pro immigration

Some will be immigrants while others will be the descendants of immigrants. Are you saying that if second/third generation immigrants are disproportionately responsible for a knife crime pandemic, then that has nothing to do with immigration and must not be linked to immigration in any way?

I never claimed they were immigrants, so why would I need to demonstrate that? They could be immigrants, or alternatively they could be the descendants of immigrants. Given that the indigenous population of Britain is white, that is undeniable.

Anecdotal information is supported by the stats. An unfortunate truth for the Wokies. https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/mopac_knife_crime_strategy_june_2017.pdf

Thanks for proving my point so effectively. 😃

Sounds like the politicians/generals and their offspring want their private playgrounds back.

No surprise. The US has a long history of abandoning it's allies and withdrawing from overseas conflicts when the going gets tough or support from US voters appears to be waning. Add to the fact that Joe can't remember what he said 5 minutes ago, let alone last year and we can all see the writing is on the wall here.

A great way to defeat political opponents. Label them "far right" and then take out of via the court system. Not unlike what the Dems are doing in the good ol' US of A.

Good news for ecstasy dealers. When I was there many moons ago MDMA was the drug of choice at the clubs. But maybe that's the plan? After all, not many people go looking for fights after a pill or two. Much more likely to randomly hug a stranger than attack one.

That's no way to talk about Nancy. Oh sorry, you said shank. 😃

Maybe you could save such a comment for a relevant thread?

I wore trousers and a collared shirt. But there were 2 other foreigners also receiving theirs on the same day and one them had knee length shorts and a tshirt. As long as you are clean, don't dress like a backpacker and act politely it will not be an issue. I found that their attitude was excellent. Treated me very nicely, like I was a paying customer for a product they were keen to sell (which I was). I was expecting them to begrudgingly slap it on the table like an immigration official stamping me in at the airport but it was much better than expected.

I believe that was never proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

It's hardly an endorsement of the EU that 3 years after leaving, the UK is out performing the EU's largest economy, a country that remained. I thought Britain was supposed to go off the "cliff edge" and lose around 8% of GDP? Surely you're not saying that was all a pack of lies to scare people into voting Remain? 😄

So 4% of the population are committing 18% of the murders? Surely that can't be correct?

40 years for assault? Ridiculous. Politically motivated to send a message about messing with politicians, particularly the liberal elites like Pelosi. If some street hood had done a similar thing during the 'mostly peaceful' BLM riots he'd have likely got a slap on the wrist.

Oh look, the UK having left the EU is doing better than Germany who remained. Project Fear 😆.

Not for the Rwandans that are already here. Given their reluctance to deport them, what makes you believe they will be tough on future illegals? Seems to me they are more than happy for anyone to come and stay here. But then, they won't be living in Islington so it's not their problem...

Not if the crime involves tweeting jokes about the LGBT community. They're all over that. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-hampshire-62352502

Allowing illegal immigrants to stay in Britain instead of deporting them is not "dealing with the problem", neither is it an act of kindness. It is causing damage to Britain and the British people.

Give the British police a break. They clearly have more important things to attend to. Like controlling movement for the crime of being "openly Jewish", getting on their knees for BLM, ignoring/redefining calls for Jihad and making fools of themselves at gay pride events.

Another example of how a Labour government will continue to put the interests of often illegal immigrants ahead of the interests of hard working, law abiding, British people - should they be elected. One can only hope that the British people wake up before the election is called. If they don't, I'm afraid to say they will deserve what they get.
