They even had the nerve to ask for £20 for the taxi fare after raping her.

So the domestic homicide by a Partner of 81 women in the UK is dross according to your response to my post. Do you not consider that this is an issue that should be addressed. https://www.humberside.police.uk/news/humberside/n...

Can you not see you have a problem?

I suppose some might consider the BBC a part of British culture, so was Jimmy Saville British culture then?https://www.humberside.police.uk/news/humberside/n...

I assume his victims still have to pay their licence fee. The nerve of it.

For context.
"Carrick, who joined the force in 2001, pleaded guilty to 49 offenses including 24 counts of rape and charges including assault, attempted rape and false imprisonment. His crimes took place between 2003 and 2020."

Cannot answer or address the topic in hand, then.... talk about something else.
Have a happy clap
But yes, we have our domestic indigenous criminals and nonces. They do not form part of our culture because as a proportion of the (indigenous) population they are quite rare.
That doesn't mean we should be importing more, especially from those cultures who are more predisposed to criminality, violence and noncing.

White people make up around 82% of the UK population and Asians 9%.Regarding child sexual abuse perpetrators, 2020 figures show that 89% were white, and 6% were Asian. So, regardless of how rare it might be, proportionate to the population, white people are statistically more likely to be nonces.

Completely predictable dross.
I had, the other day, almost thought that you were only pretending to be a stereotypical Little Englander If it makes you feel better, I can be a Little Englander and that means being concerned at those who would willingly give away all that which our ancestors have fought, bled and died for.

I am absolutely not, however, an unquestioning forelock-tugging royalist -now that would be embarrassing.
What are you going on about regarding giving things away that people have died for?

Can you list the hundreds, if not thousands, of crimes made by British white males just this week please. Just for balance you understand.https://www.humberside.police.uk/news/humberside/n...

Would that be an example of British culture?

Apart from the fact that I'd already replied to him some time before you posted, you mean?
I've already replied to you as well to point out that it's impossible to say where it stops because that depends on how many kids Brits have and to what age they're willing to work, and both those things are beyond my control. There is no getting away from the fact that the ratio of working people to pensioners has halved since 1950, and without importing lots of workers over the decades (many of whom go home before or when they retire), that little fact would already have collapsed the country.
If you wish to try and engage in a rational conversation, go and read the article on the problems of an ageing population that I posted in my reply to Olivera, decide why you think it's wrong, find some peer reviewed economic sources to support your position and then come and tell us about them.
Or alternatively you can keep throwing your toys out of your pram calling it a Ponzi scheme, but then you'll just look a bit silly and irrelevant, because what's the point of entering into debate with someone who can't find any facts to support their position?
I was correct, you replied to said post but twisted your answer to ignore the data being shown to you!I've already replied to you as well to point out that it's impossible to say where it stops because that depends on how many kids Brits have and to what age they're willing to work, and both those things are beyond my control.

It's not impossible to give a population number that is a hard limit on how large it should grow to under your thoughtless approach. Rather dodge it again, give a number! At what population number is the UK 'full'?
Your approach is a Ponzi scheme because it will simply keep increasing the population of the UK. We are currently in a retired population bulge because of the baby boomer generation. If this section of the population wants a better quality of life for their current situation they are going to have to put their hand in their pockets and pay for it. It is not for younger generations to pick up the tab again, and then because of the increasing population experience poorer societal, infrastructure and environmental conditions.

Colin isn’t coming across well in this thread is he?
A former boss of mine once gave me a really useful piece of advice, which was to write what I wanted to write (in that case, a client proposal) and then spend twice as long removing all the unnecessary words, as the resulting message will almost invariably be both more accurate and more compelling. In this instance, may I humbly suggest that you could achieve this by removing the words coming, across, in, this & thread?

There are roughly 14 million immigrants in the UK, some 16% of the population. Have a happy clap

The police in England & Wales record around 2,900 honour based offences annually.
If we pander to your prejudices for a moment and assume that every single such offence was committed by an immigrant, then that's 20.74 offences per 100,000 people.
In comparison, there are an estimated 2.1 million victims of domestic violence across the population of England and Wales as a whole. That's 3,488 cases per 100,000 people.
Do you not think there's a slight risk, Colin, that you're currently standing in a big glass.house with a large stone in each hand?

Nope.It is just that I do not participate in the fantasy that uncontrolled immigration is not an issue and is not damaging.
Slowly boiling fantasist frogs and all that.

That seems a very sad way to go through life.
