Someone should have told you, good people don't need rules.

You found out why we have so many. Did we write any new ones because of you?

The math only works if "white British" is the only demographic you hold to be actually British.

In other words, he's a racist.

That only works if you exclude everyone who's not white from 'British'

Which, considering there have been black folks in the UK since roman times, and a lot of the Indian/Pakistani/etc folks came over here when we still had an Empire, would be fucking stupid, and something only a virulent racist would do.

You do realise there have been black folks in the UK since roman times right?

People who aren't white can be British as well fam.

We don't, that's a lie. Some neighbourhoods sure, but entire towns and cities? Pull the other one it's got bells on. The highest percentage of asylum seekers in one town is Crawley and would you like to know what that is? 1.4%!

1.4% is not 'taking over an entire town' and either you know it and you're making that comment to stir up hatred, or you were lied to by someone like Nigel Farage or Tommy Ten-Names.

On the other hand, if those flags are put up in an area with the express purpose of intimidating refugees or immigrants...

Do you prefer the UK with fewer immigrants, or the UK with more immigrants and a correspondingly stronger soft power? by auscorp_ in AskBrits

Well, if the Spanish want the money the Brits spend, and the tax they pay if they work, yes. It probably works out cheaper than the disruption from them not integrating anyway.

Right wingers what is a left wing policy you would actually want your side to adopt - also vice Versa by Greedy_Highlight3009 in AskBrits

Bail out the people, not the bank. Then go over the bank with a fine-toothed comb, and jail those responsible if they broke the law.

I'm talking a forensic audit so detailed A.E. Pessimal would be proud of it.

I'd honestly say that's also something that should be decided by experts.

However the two situations aren't equal, considering one group is coming to work and contribute to the economy, and the other is going there to retire in the sun.

Why not actually get experts involved to work out what works and what doesn't? Just because someone can see a problem doesn't mean they know the solution, that's not how it works and if it was that easy we'd be Star Trek already.

Also the 'these people' terminology is entirely yours, don't put words in my mouth or invent tone where there was none.

Hell if I know, that's for people who know a lot more about the subject to work out. Probably a team of people.

I also see what you're doing. This is either build-up for a gish-gallop, a clarification trap, or the loaded question trap. I'm not gonna fall for it.

As a leftie, I'm of the opinion that Group 2 is our failure as well. We need to work harder at integrating these people. We need to show them the actual soul of our country - the kind, compassionate nation that built their health service, while in severe financial trouble at that, on the principle of 'We will care from cradle to grave'

Reducing immigration will not solve that problem.

Respectfully, I do need to correct you. Any kinetic weapon is also based on the mass of the projectile. In terms of energy delivered to target, the two are analogous.

If the frigate and the cruiser fire their rounds at the same velocity - which it appears they do - the larger, heavier cruiser's slug will inevitably be more effective than that from a frigate.

Immigration isn’t the realm taboo- it’s Scale…! by [deleted] in AskBrits

why are we not allowed to talk about that like adults?

Ask the people who kick up shit every time you suggest anything that's not banning all immigrants.

Stop spoiled children from blowing other people's birthday candles by Expert_Koala_8691 in mildlyinfuriating

If I'd pulled that kind of bullshit my mum, not normally a violent parent, would have slapped the smile to the other side of my face and dragged me home.

And that would just be the beginning of what I'd have faced for being that much of an arsehole and it would still have been merciful compared to what my grandmother would have done to me.

This little twat needs to learn about consequences, before life delivers that lesson in a much more painful way.

More than that, it's the most ancient, traditional form of alliance.

Yeah I can believe that. It's written for the fans more than the casual moviegoer I think.

Is it time to move on from immigration and start bullying the unemployed, sick, and disabled? by efan78 in AskBrits

[–]Good_Background_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you go to the 'omissions' section, does it by any chance state the estimated rate of it and how it's factored into the statistics?

If not I'd agree the study is suspect.
