John Cleese: London no longer English

[krooton]

It's just that I see more instances of poor white and 2nd gen+ mixed race/black families with multiple sprogs in tow than 1st gen immigrants.

Depends where you are, I suppose. Round my way (Islington) most public housing seems to be given over to Moslems (Somalis and Arabs) and West Africans nowadays. They've only appeared in the last 10-15 years and they always arrive with a gaggle of kid plus a bun in the oven. Sure, there's a residue of whites (maybe 10% if that) whose kids emerge from the schools sounding like Jamaicans!

Whilst it may seem that way, have you any stats that actually show it is the case?

In fairness he did provide quite a mentally evocative image.

Doubt it.

Stats are more often than not irrelevant and ultimately miss the point depending on who comes up with them (who decides to spin them). Just take a walk and open your eyes.

So are they only given to these people, or is it only these people who are applying?

So you're throwing numbers out of the window and instead advocating narrow, limited and ultimately useless anecdotal evidence?

GOOD JOB

I think he meant to say something along the lines of "Statistics are near useless without further analysis"

 

[Slam62]

I think we need a public enquiry

I'm in Manchester. I've just seen an Asian man. You're right, man, they're everywhere.

Did a bit of your culture erode when you saw him?

Did he smell funny?

Will you be able to sleep tonight?

I'm going to have to eat a whole box of turkey twizzlers to get over it.

Are they Turkish?

 

[bloodiedathame]

How daft. So instead of opening your eyes and looking at the bigger picture to make your own opinion and ultimately understand the importance or irrelevance what you are being told, you'd rather rely on some unquantifiable, bias filled rubbish that provokes knee jerk reactions and opinions...

Oh shh.

 

[Snograt]

Because he doesn't want to pay great British taxes.

I'm not sure, are you arguing for or against him being in a good position to comment because of that?

John Cleese is one of my favourite people of all time. Him being a tax exile, however, does not leave him in a position to make any comment on the makeup of British society - regardless of whether he is right or not!

IMHO, of course

 

[kwerk]

Why should he pay UK taxes to subsidize this multicultural crap that he doesn't agree with? Paying taxes is not patriotic. Now if they put it back to where only land owners can vote, it would be worth it to him to pay taxes.

 

[muon]

Bloody immigrants.

Exactly what I was going to say. So Brits emigrating to the states is perfectly acceptable.

Isn't LA incredibly diverse as well? Obviously that environment is okay for him.
