Crime as fallen at the same time as police forces numbers have been cut back. People don't even bother reporting crimes now because they know no one will turn out. Boston with the highest population of immigrants in the UK also as the highest murder rate. Reframing the narrative using dodgy official stats might work with the folks who still buy official stats as meaningful and unbiased...those are a dwindling pool.

You know that is a total of two murders, right? :fp:

Junior doctors are on strike because many of them aren't English and immigrants are murdering us all over the place. What must living with your mind be like?

So the immigrant doctors who are making our good English doctors go on strike are going to introduce Sharia law? ...when they are having time off from their murdering spree of course.

Depends on what you mean by too many. There are a lot that is for sure. That's because we don't train enough and the fact that we are a rich country full of old people means the demand is growing all the time.

We could have fewer but we would have to train more and we aren't producing the calibre of people in the right quantity.

As long as they speak English, have a sense of our culture and are decently trained I'm not bothered.

The health service is infested with foreigners. We have a massive crisis in graduate employment here of our people. I'm not talking race, I means stuff like talking English fluently, a imperative when patient doctor communication means the difference between life and death at times. If the NHS was properly managed, rather than dependant on a massive budget margin....and everyone was talking the same language. It'd work like at the start.

Police numbers have fallen as crime rates have fallen.

It's silly to mistake mere correlation for causation isn't it? For example; With the largest Parish Church in the UK Boston in Lincolnshire has the highest murder rate in Britain! :lol: BTW, the murder rate is a function of murder crimes per 100,000, so a single or double-murder in a small market town like Boston will bump it right up the annual table even while the overall trend is low-to-none. This is a fine example of 'dodgy statistics' at work.

My figures were taken from the independent Migration Observatory at Oxford University, the British Crime Survey, and the Prison Population Survey, and the most recent comparative study carried out for the Home Office by Gavin Berman in 2013. As I asked, your intuitions do not match reality but that doesn't stop them from driving your opinions - why do you think that is?

Well it is a function of ignorance, fear, paranoia and prejudice. A perfect Trump voter in fact.

That it is legitimate to do some weeding out of applicants, and that the ones that are not valid asylum seekers can be validly called illegal immigrants, and refused entry, or deported once there...

Who said anything to the contrary? I think the principal problem with the issue is that xenophobic fucks equate every asylum seeker with illegal alien as soon as he/she tries to enter their patch. Apart from being more articulate there is no difference between Mistermack, Crumple, et al and this one:
