Immigration isn't the problem though, it's crime.

/// but i do think that mass immigration makes you feel unsettled ///

I admit that Mass immigration into this country has caused many of the problems, that we are now experiencing.

Even Jack Straw the once Labour Party Home Secretary admitted that it was a 'spectacular mistake'.

This from the Guardian surprisingly enough in 2015.

/// As today’s generation of political leaders prepares to fight an election that is in part a contest about the mistakes, judgments and assumptions Labour made in government on immigration, it is easy to forget just how much immigration and asylum haunted Downing Street throughout New Labour’s time in office. Between 1997 and 2010, net annual immigration quadrupled, and the UK population was boosted by more than 2.2 million immigrants, more than twice the population of Birmingham. In Labour’s last term in government, 2005-2010, net migration reached on average 247,000 a year.

And this article in the Telegraph will open some eyes, unless they still have them buried in the sand.

/// Immigration isn't the problem though, it's crime. ///

Immigration has helped to increase crime levels, that is the problem.

It is only natural that immigrants who come from high level crime countries bring into this country the type of culture that they were born in to.

// How then does that indicate crime is coming from outside our boarders? //

spath, Boarders are basically lodgers,
the boundary between two Countries is a Border.
"Are you unaware that a large proportion of 'BRITISH NATIONALS' were immigrants who originally came to these shores and have been fortunate enough to have gained British citizenships. and as such are now classed as British nationals?"

As I was unaware of this, what percentage is this "large proportion"?

How many folk are granted British Nationality each year?

//I dont believe anyone, apart from you, has mentioned proportions of immigrant crimes.

But it does highlight a big problem with using such high level figures. Without them being drilled down it's very difficult to see reasons why the increase and so be able to proffer any solution. Immigration is only one aspect I am very sure of that.//

Very well said.

Unfortunately, there are some people who are only able to look from one variable, usually race. They cannot fathom that there may be a whole host of other factors to take into account.

Please explain to me sp, what are these whole host of other factors that we should take into account as regards the high level of Black on Black stabbings and also the high number of Pakistani child grooming gangs, if it is not due to race?

If you are so interested in getting the correct numbers, perhaps you should try Googling it yourself.

Personally I am sure there is a very large number, judging by how many areas of our towns and cities, no longer look British.
You not only know the current nationalities of everyone you see out and about, you also know their previous nationalities? I am impressed!!!!!!!
