Badboy 1,526 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 You know what, i can understand why English people would get a bit upset about immigration. This is a small island and at 60 million its overcrowded as it is, the blame should never go on immigrants because you can not blame them for wanting better its the governments fault.

Styles 9,790 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 This idea that there are far too many immigrants in England is misleading. I've just done some quick research:87.5% of the English population is WHITEA measly 12.5% are of ethnic origin (Black/Asian/other).There are countless places all over England where there isn't a single person of ethnic origin. Of course you're going to get multiculturalism in big cities like London, Manchester and Birmingham. New York's white population is 46% compared to London's 70% white population.

We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 White British equates to 82.8% of the English population so not really.Non-white British population was 9.1 million in 2009. Other-white population was 1.9 million. That equates to 11 million people. The population of England is 51 million (2008). That means, roughly, every 1 in 4.6 people is an immigrant. That's an absolutely massive amount if you ask me. As I said earlier I'm pro immigration, but it should be capped and entry only granted to special cases (Such as people in danger from war etc.) and people that will benefit the country itself.

I'm not out to change your views or anything. As I said before I do not have a problem with any race or religion. At the end of the day we're all Chelsea here and that's all what matters.

Drogba11CFC 108 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 If you ask me, both UAF and EDL are as bad as each other. I am against fascism, but I am against violence more, and therefore I hate both groups equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've used thatnon-white British population of 9.1 millionto conclude thatevery 1 in 4.6 people is an Immigrant And then you say Sturridge is English. Surely he is part of that 9.1 million Non-White British Population who make up that one immigrant out of 4.6 people :eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I firmly believe the EDL was set up by good people wanting to stand up for a Christian Britain - and now it has been overtaken by fascist morons. Initially it simply opposed the forceful presence of Sharia Law, and maintaining the neo-Christian culture of a liberal UK. Now it stands for racism and token oppression, and its good intentions have been wiped out.Even so, I have nothing against them. They're extremists, not monsters.In regards to the immigration debate, it isn't the fault of those coming in to the country. It's the government's open-arms policy in an attempt to reignite our struggling economy. Instead you have a large (mainly Asian - I'm not being racist here, this is the plain truth) percentage who come into the country and life off the welfare state.This is not me being racist, but all you have to do is look around where I live. There are Polish families who come over and work their fingers to the bone for a pittance, whilst there are some Asian families who do nothing and claim so many benefits its no wonder why we're in a financial mire. I'm all for those who come into the country to work, for those who don't and just come in to scrounge off benefits, they should be sent back where they came from as far as I'm concerned. If that makes me a racist or a fascist then so be it, the fact of the matter is that this minority (pardon the pun) do nothing for the benefit of the country in terms of its economical standing.

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The English Defence League takes its roots from a demo called by the “United Peoples of Luton”, an anti-Muslim group made up largely of football casuals. This demonstration was a response to a protest made by members of the fundamentalist Islamic group Al Muhjahiroun who attacked British soldiers returning from Basra as murderers.The demonstration called by the “United Peoples of Luton” marched practically unopposed through the town and led to many Asians and Muslims with no connection to Al Muhjahiroun being attacked and abused.Put in simple terms, the EDL are the organised physical force to back up the anti-Muslim bigotry of elements of the racist middle class. Like Germany in the 30’s antisemitism found most of its adherents in the middle class and it needed an army to take it’s prejudice out of the salons and on to the streets.The latest news is that Tommy Robinson (the leader) -or Stephen Waxy-lemon whatever his name has been arrested and is on hunger strike -and even his'mates' are joking about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
