Lol I wouldn't worry about daily mail readers, the fact they choose to read the mail suggests they aren't that savvy in the first place.

'White people' eh? If you actually read that piece of trash of an article, it described how white people, from countries other than the UK, will by far be the largest growing minority (e.g. other people from Europe).

The hypocrisy of all this is that British people who oppose immigration, also are in the firm belief they have the right to emigrate anywhere they can, because they are British and white.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1569400/Emigration-soars-as-Britons-desert-the-UK.html

The truth is mass immigration will affect all countries all over the world, as the world becomes more advanced and developed, not just Britain.



i, like most people and including daily mail readers, do not oppose immigration. it is mass immigration that is opposed.

one is normal and one is extremist -- its like the difference between eating and binge eating.

mass immigration is capitalism out of control. i hope it does not ruin other societies like what is happening in britain.

only 20% of immigrants from the last 10 years have been from the EU. the overwhelming numbers are coming from non EU countries mainly in asia and africa. so not sure where this professor rees gets his 'projections' from?

Solution: Don't read it.

Only idiots do, and reading it will pull you down to their level. My mum reads it regularly, and I tell her to her face how disgusting it is, and how it vehemently supported the Nazis etc... but she doesn't listen.

The journalism of the paper is so bad, anyone with a few brain cells could poke a million holes in it, but that doesn't make any difference. A vast number of this country's population are en-educated, sensationalist, prejudiced ****s who continue to buy and read this crap. That is the real problem.



Word can not describe how annoyed this post made me. The level of arrogance that went into that post is almost painful to read.
You've some how placed yourself very highly above everyone else but you are the very definition of someone i wouldn't want anywhere near a position with even the tiniest responsibility.

the importation of hundreds of thousands of poor, cheap labour units has destroyed the job prospects for the poor and working classes as they are forced to compete in saturated, low wage job market.

britain is also a welfare state. as a socialist, i have looked on in horror as the mass immigration policy has brought the system to breaking point -- its just not economically sustainable to have a decent, high quality welfare state when you have open borders.
welfare state must have high wage, high employment environment only this is impossible with the influx of so many cheap, poor labour units -- even after they arrive, second/third generation immigrant communities are plagued with very high unemployment because they cannot get afoot on the ladder because of the competition from fresh waves of cheap labour and so the spiral downward continues.

then of course there is the fact that immigrants and ethnic minorities are massively overrepresented in crime stats.

but, into the future, maybe these problems will be insignificant as the ethnic, racial and religious demographics continue to balkanise. my family and friends fled parts of the world with very high ethnic tensions and violence and it puzzles me why britain would want to simply give itself all of these potential problems when it was only recently blessed with a stable and homogenous society.

I'm not placing myself personally, I am placing everyone who doesn't read the Daily Mail and other similar publications over everyone else that does.

And tbh, in an ideal world, DM readers wouldn't be anywhere near a position even with the tiniest responsibility, but unfortunately they are as statistically most of them are female, many of whom are also mothers.

EDIT: Also your username is really weird. Thanks to you, I now have the image of a Dominatrix with the head of a newborn baby embedded in my mind.

He may have been abrupt about it, but you haven't actually pointed out anything wrong with the premise of his post.
Basically if I'm having a **** day, I just read the comments on the Daily Mail it cheers me up instantly. Because of the amount of really thick people on there.

I'm not going to argue with you right now, however, here are some facts from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research they found that

""Those migrants who have been in the UK for over five years are not associated with displacement of British-born workers"
i.e. there is no long term increase unemployment, and the initial increase is made up for due to increased demand within 5 years."

"EU migration had had "little or no impact" on the native employment rate"

They also found that there was no association between migration and the numbers of people claiming unemployment. The report said that:

"The results show a very small negative and generally insignificant correlation between the migrant inflow rate and the change in the claimant count rate."
"For all practical purposes, these results suggest that migration has essentially no impact on claimant count unemployment."

And it also said it is unkown whether immigration causes joblosses for low skilled workers.

As for your crime comment, well it doesn't help that the government keeps putting immigrants in areas of high crime and poverty. Typically if you come from an area of high crime and poverty you are more likely to be involved in that. Immigrants and ethnic minorities are not the only ones to be effected by this, go to glasgows high crime areas and see most criminals are native scots. The same could be said for crime in russia, china, angola and any other country where it's the natives that are committing the crime. Nothing to do with whether they are immigrants or not.


Also I feel that you are being melow dramatic for effect. Basically there is nothing wrong with british society. It's not perfect, we don't have the best standard of living in the world, but it is much beter than most other countries in the world. Certainly it is better now in the uk than it has ever been, immigrants or not. So to claim british society is ruined is basically a bunch of sensationalised rubbish.

The whole post is based around the fact that a newspaper expresses views he doesn't like and is therefore read by complete morons.

I generally find the majority of views expressed in the Daily Mail comments very depressing.
The majority of readers also seem to think that global warming is a hoax by the government to get taxes out of us. Just shows what a ****ed up world we live in where people can be that ignorant :frown:

Isnt it? Think of the strain all the third worlders will put on the nhs and public transport. If immigration continues like in the article its quite likely the nhs will cease to exist by 2050

We have to respect freedom of speech and that means racists can voice their views too. That is the funny (some call it controversial) thing with freedoms - you cannot restrict something some people might consider offensive, you have to live with them side by side.

1. I think you are talking rubbish. It's not like anyone's having any kids any more anyway so some level of immigration needs to remain to keep the population stable. Equally it is not causing any major problems as of yet and I'm sure once it does immigration will be curbed.
Not sure where you get third worlders from? Most immigrants are from developing countries rather than LEDCS, with many from Europe =/

2. Somehow I think we will have bigger things on our mind very soon after that ie a substantially smaller country, malaria, various crop and livestock pests coming over, the majority of Ampibians being extinct worldwide with unknown ecological impact, loss of pollinator plant associations and predator prey association meaning crops struggle due to an increase in insects eating them and a loss in pollination etc etc etc
I prefer The Daily Torygraph.
