Because the numbers aren't actually that high when you consider just how many white Brits there are in the country.
Bet you never thought that did you?

Because you believe the media or you live in a area in which the ethnic minority is larger than the national average of 7.9%? Both of which give the false impression that the country is over run by immigrants?

If you read the thread, you would find the figures from the Office of National Statistics on page 2, post number 20.

What is it you don't like about " immergrents" - their inability to clearly speak/write English?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
Maybe their ability to work out that even 80% is bigger than 20%, let alone 95% being bigger than 5%

Luxembourg didn't take very kindly to us passing through, even though we spent an absolute fortune there, that said there are rude and ignorant people everywhere, perhaps we were just unlucky

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
Oh, yeah, I agree that there are rude and ignorant people in every country... didn't mean to imply the opposite.
I guess you got a frosty reception in Luxembourg because you temporarily doubled their population - assuming there were 3 others in your car. They probably thought you were invading them

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
'us', 'they'...
all very sad. if you live in a country, you become that population.
when i move to greece for example, i'll speak greek, write greek, read greek.
it's only fair that people who live here should do the same with english.
i think that all 'communities' are fractured nowdays, whether black, white or whatever. it's a sad state of affairs but certainly not amplified by immigrants - i think we need to look at ourselves before we start to blame other cultures.

Because that's the way arithmetic works - 75% of the UK population being 'British' (or 'white' or however you're going to misrepresent it) would mean 15 million immigrants, which is rather a lot, and it's up to you to find two Londons-full, if you wish to back your outlandish claim. It might have been worth paying attention in English as well as maths class, incidentally.

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
I'm sure the British Army reassure themselves of that every night as they take incoming mortar fire.
A large majority of Iraqis haven't forgiven us for 1919 let alone 2003, and want us out of their country.

I'm sure the British workers out there are quite liked by many too.
Or are you suggesting that the majority of the population are currently firing mortars at everyone who is British?

Re: Appalling stuff from the Daily Express
