    Kustard you'd better take up that viewpoint with Dull, as he hasn't got a problem if we continue having immigration at the same rate as we have now post Brexit.

    Where the **** did you pull 80m from btw? Your arse I assume

    By best, you mean wealthy.

    A grammar school system would end up with the wealthy being able to pay thousands for tutors in the run up to the 11+, in order to save themselves a fortune on private school fees later....

    We are about the 50th in the world for population density. IF we had 80m people we'd be about 40th.

    It doesn't have to. Problem isn't the idea of grammar schools, but the way they are set up.

    Said it before selection at 14 with only state educated pupils eligible, plus the expansion of UTC system would supply paths to work rather than just segregation and a subsidy for the wealthy

    Nige told him we're full and he'll never get a seat in the Dr's waiting room.

    He believed him

    Plus he hates Muslims, so he's got form in having an issue with 'ethnics'

    In my day, things were probably worse. Your future depended to a large extent on how you did at an examination that you took, in my case, at age 10.

    You then went to either a Grammar school, where you were most definitely given a higher level of education from teachers who were often Oxbridge graduates. You were being moulded for the 'professions' medicine, accountancy, banking. Etc.

    If you failed, you were sent to a Secondary modern school. There you received a lower standard of education - it was assumed that you would be no more than a tradesman, certainly not a professional! You were taught to CSE standard, not GCE, as we were at Grammar school.

    The point is that your future was being decided for you by a system that had, in many cases, condemned you and written you off in childhood.

    Exactly.

    I had the benefit of the same thing, and it was never right. As you say, kids futures were effectively being decided at 11.

    A phobia is an irrational fear, my fear of Islam is very much rational. Let's just consider our circumstances for a second, anybody that criticises Islam is deemed an Islamophobe, why is this the case when we live in a secular society? We have no blasphemy law in the UK, why does the word Islamohpobia exist for instances of criticising Islam? A cultural racist? So those who seek the abandonment of all or a religion are all cultural racists? Are you calling 25 % of the UK public racists? Your refusal to answer my question about whether you can change your race only leads me to believe that, no, you can't change your race, and yet people can leave Islam, and join another religion if they wish to. Can you tell me what is supposed to happen those who leave the Islamic 'race'?

    Right, so just because there's so many Muslims means I'm not allowed to criticise it? I wonder if you can tell me what is supposed to happen to those who leave Islam? Is it really so hard to dislike it when you know the answer to that question?

    Well done for reposting the same bullshit paper that you referred to previously

    So you admit you fear Islam, but claim that fear is rational. Priceless

    Are you saying that all fears are meant to be irrational? Nice of you to conveniently ignore all of my questions again...

    We're talking about the UK ffs. If you take London out what's England's?

    Or isn't the answer on that same Tory funded site that you quoted the other bollocks from?

    Yes, it's still immensely stupid to cover such a number of people with such a sweeping statement. Disliking terrorists who happen to be Muslims or disliking some extreme parts of orthodox Islam is one thing. Disliking everyone who happens to have been born into a religion is just as stupid as disliking anyone who was born black or a woman or a Chelsea fan.

    What does happen when you leave Islam? Surely it varies a lot depending on where you are. Secular and non-Orthodox Muslims live happily all over the world like every other religion.

    A fear of an entire religion is batshit mental.

    Odd that you also have a massive issue with immigration as well like...

    Actually no it isn't

    Most immigration to the United Kingdom ends up in England, demographics show us this where ~87% of the UK is anything other than white British, but break it down by individual nation and the story is a lot different.

    England - ~80% as of 2011 (87% in 2001)
    Scotland - ~84% as of 2011 (88% in 2001)
    Wales - ~93% as of 2011 (96% in 2001)
    Northern Ireland - ~98% as of 2011 (99% in 2001)

    How is this a good thing?

    Do you need people to list the benefits of immigration?

    So the number of 'white british' becoming a smaller percentage of the total is a bad thing then?

    What about second generation non whites, are they an issue to you as well like?

    Are you only truly British if you're white then?

    But of course you're not a racist......
