Ah, that must be what they meant; I've never claimed benefits so have no first-hand knowledge - only what those who claim tell me.

BIB: not really necessary to speak to me like that Uncle Joe.

If you look at the birth rates of various ethnicities, this may not be quite so far-fetched - at least in some big city areas. In our small road, we have 8 Somali families. The smallest has 4 kids, the largest 8. Despite the fact that Somali adults are quite a small minority in our area, Somali children already make up almost 50% of our local primary school pupils.

I remember that being said in the 50s about the West Indians, they still don't outnumber white people.

Of course you get clusters of people in an area, just think what you would do if you were forced by civil war to live abroad, you would probably try to live with other English speaking people.

It doesn't even take a civil war, the area I live in was once known as 'Little England' because of all the pommies who moved here when they were recruited to work in the local steelworks as migrants in the 50s and 60s.

Re: Coming out the EU.

there was a brilliant doco done on racism once in UK must have been 20 yrs ago by a west indian social worker - born and bred in UK and he travelled around UK with a camera man - just the two of them and interviewed whites and recent european immigrants - apart from the obvious phobias of the whites there was a conception that they blacks were all around everywhere crowding them in - isn't it called xenophobia?

There is a huge difference between irrational phobias and rational concerns. The level of immigration into the UK over the past 15 years has been unprecedented. Apologists for unlimited immigration blithely trot out the justification that "Britain is a nation of immigrants," which is, of course, true, but never in our history has such a large number of immigrants entered the country in such a short time. In fact I read somewhere recently that more immigrants have entered the UK in the last 15 years than in the previous thousand years. My own town (in West London) now has a majority of non-UK born adults (some 60% at last census) and most of our schools have over 80% children of immigrants. The cul-de-sac where I live was 100% UK born 20 years ago. Today, of the 8 families, 3 are white English, 1 settled Romany, 1 Nigerian, 2 Pakistani and 1 Iranian.
I don't believe it is either racist or xenophobic to be a little concerned at the massive change which has been visited on our society largely by New Labour (as has been admitted by Andrew Neather and the despicable Mandleson - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...r-adviser.html and http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...tons-work.html)

Re: Coming out the EU.

Just one quick question regarding these nasty white British people: when it came down to non-whites not being victimised, can anyone tell me who made that become reality? Could it have been those very nasty white British people that accepted it was wrong and ended up welcoming those that were not nasty white British people?

The same argument is sometimes used by radical feminists as a reason to 'hate' all men and yet the movement that changed everything for women needed, and got, the support of the ruling elite of that time which were the men.

It's ridiculous to state that all white British people hated any foreigner - if that was the case, Britian would be completely white British country.
