Sometimes I'm ashamed to be British...

Everything you have posted?

Not everything I've posted here, everything I've read everywhere else. I consume a lot of information, and I've found what you are after.


What kind of proof do you have that it is a minority? You dont even live in this side of the country.

Government and prosecution statistics. Personal experience.



It isn't a strawman, and i have already said, if folk started admitting to a problem it would be a big step in the right direction. Also enforcing some of the laws we already have without the need to bring new ones in

People do acknowledge it and it has been discussed for years, all you do is moan at other people what positive action other than the blindingly obvious do you suggest?



It's not a straw man, it is my answer to you wanting a 'suggestion to resolve the issue' Sheesh

You keep implying that I do not acknowledge the problem.

Those tables dont mention who was born where. If anything, the seem to back up your 85% claim more than anything

Setting aside the fact it doesn't differentiate between Scotland and the UK, it says 4,901,000 claim to be british. The population of Scotland in 2010 was estimated at 5,222,000. Thats a difference of 7%.

Where are you getting 30% from?? You think the Confidence Interval is the % of population don't you??

I can't help if you can't read.

"Scotland 4,810 / 67%"

If you have a problem with the statistics I suggest you take it up with the Government.

Apologise.

The confidence coefficient is a consideration of how accurate data is thought to be. To factor in adopting nationalities and so forth, and capturing problems.

Apologise.

Are you really not picking up what a confidence index is???

I wont apologize for you being completely wrong lol

I even gave you figures to highlight to you that the confidence index isn't the figure you are looking for.

lmao!
 
Biohazard, I'm having trouble trying to see how you can use those figures to justify your initital point as well to be honest.

I'm still looking for the surrounding article give me a bit! It's not that much of a stretch to see another 15% for co-opted identity I just need to find it all.
 
5.2m people in scotland 4.8m (of which the confidence in that figure is 73%) how that comes to 30% of people not born in Scotland i'll never know.

Your figures dont even mention births in Scotland, only Britain.

Right, wasn't aware there was a surrounding article.

For now, those figures seem to suggest that in 2010 there were 4824 thousand people in Scotland who were born in the UK and 326 thousand that were born outside the UK. That gives us a total of 5150 thousand (5.15million people altogether, which seems reasonable). My dodgy maths shows that in Scotland 6.76% of the population were born outwith the UK.

Also, just to remind us - this was your quote:

30% of Scotland's population was not born in Scotland.

I don't feel scared or pushed out, I feel as Scottish as I ever have. If people want to move here and call themself Scottish it makes me feel proud, their ethnicity race creed or colour is irrelevent.

I'm beginning to think that you've got yourself into a bit of a muddle! Your quote and your figures can't work together) Happy to be proved wrong though.
