Why have you bought colour into the debate Spath?

Totally uncalled for.

[spathiphyllum]

Because the majority of these knife crimes are commited by young black brits. That's no secret.

We all know what AOG is hinting at, lets not be ignorant. This is AB after all.

[Spicerack]

That may be true, spaf, but you're the only person who said it.

[spathiphyllum]

not in a negative sense.

[youngmafbog]

Yes it was Spath. You are kidding no-one.

And dont second guess what someone else is thinking either.

[spathiphyllum]

How is the subculture i refereed to negatively portrayed by me in my sentence? It's not. I'm defending the implications which i felt i saw.

[youngmafbog]

Of course Spath. Keep digging.

[spathiphyllum]

If you feel it was racist or offensive or uncalled for, then i'm sorry. You're entitled to be offended.

However, I think that what i said, was perfectly fine. Not at one point did show any kind of discrimination, but if anything, the opposite.

YMB, Are you going for the most non sequiturs in one thread? You seem to be giving answers which make unfathomable leaps from what people are writing to answers which make very little sense. Are your salt levels low or summink?

[retrocop]

Just when you think he's reached rock bottom he begins digging. Lol

[spathiphyllum]

Retro answers like that really don't help. In fact, they are pointless. What kind of response do you expect it to reel in?

I feel side line mootness simply disturbs the thread.

UK Prison Population Statistics

England and Wales, at 31 March 2018

Foreign Nationals - 9,318 - 11%

Nationality not recorded - 234 - 0%

All nationalities - 83,263 - 100%

North America - 65 - 1%

Oceania - 24 - 0%

West Indies - 632 - 7%

All foreign nationals - 9,318 - 100%

[spathiphyllum]

So AOG with British Nationals - 73,711 - 89%
How then does that indicate crime is coming from outside our boarders?

[Zacs-Master]

I meant knife crimes, specifically. That's what your keen we stick to isn't it? You certainly seemed to want to stick to that at 14:29.

/// Are these the same violent war torn countries which provide us with Doctors and nurses or different ones? ///

Blimey Zacs not that old chestnut once again?

But seeing you are a stickler for asking your opponents to provide statistics, then perhaps you will provide us all with the percentage of all those coming to this country from violent and war-torn countries who are actually Doctors and Nurses?

[spathiphyllum]

12.7% of NHS staff say that their nationality is not British.

So 12 % of 1.5 million is immigrant NHS staff.

How many immigrants are there in the UK?

[spathiphyllum]

180000 immigrants work for the NHS.

[spathiphyllum]

I'd say 3.1 % of immigrants work for our NHS.

What % of nationals work for our NHS?

[Spicerack]

Well done, AOG. ;-) You're far too smart for them.
