The EU debate - Part II

[Tobes]

Look at the home office statstics

Why don't you post them?

Meanwhile back in reality....

A report by LSE in 2013 found that crime actually fell significantly in areas that had experienced mass immigration from eastern Europe, with rates of burglary, vandalism and car theft down since 2004.
The research concluded that there was “no causal impact of immigration on crime…contrary to the ‘immigration causes crime’ populist view expressed in some media and political debate”.
Brian Bell, a LSE research fellow, told the Guardian: “The view that foreigners commit more crime is not true. The truth is that immigrants are just like natives: if they have a good job and a good income they don't commit crime.”
A 2008 report for the Association of Chief Police Officers found that national crime rates have continued to fall despite rising net migration over a number of years.
The research found that offending rates among Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian communities were in line with the general population

It was closed down due to degenerating into personal attacks. Not due to two people having a civil discussion about racism.

Is this something you are afraid to discuss?

It often gets out of hand, so best not to go into it.

A super super conservative news website. Had to google it myself to make sure it wasn't a fake. Appears they've been reporting news since 2007.

Absolute joke,
Without any comparison to the immigration numbers from a given country it is completely without value.

Aren't Corbyn lovers more likely to read something very left wing?

No point in flapping as there's nothing that can be done about it. It is funny though and it will become a part of economics and politics syllabuses in years to come!
