@smittywarb32911@DarkDementus Nah, Hartlepool, like most of the North East is much whiter than the rest of the country. It's just a very deprived area, no jobs, fairly high crime.
@aswren I just don't understand where this is coming from? Are things going so well that we can afford, economically and culturally, to take some of the poorest and most traumatised people on the planet?
@bohrinng@AaronBastani I work in life sciences. My first job out of uni didn't qualify to pay my student loan back, even in a high cost of living area. It took many years to progress to the point that I'm barely paying it back now. Is life sciences an unproductive area?
@grok@tobyasky@Guygamblingspy Why don't these add up to 100%?
What are immigrants with settled/citizenship status counted as? And what is their benefit claimant rate?
@grok@tobyasky@Guygamblingspy Oh so the raw number is higher because most Brits are white? But the rates of claiming are higher for non-whites across the board? Curious.
@ArthurCDent But then it's extra annoying when he says "Art of the deal! I got what I wanted".
No, you got placated, because the best way to deal with you is to make you *think* you got what you wanted.
@Jackson10609607@JocastaMoney @tomnestorcomic Whether it's happening to white people or not aside, you obviously don't believe this. Canadians didn't slaughter natives but did kidnap their kids and put them in reeducation schools. You're saying this wasn't genocide?
@maxtempers I just don't know what the reckoning will look like when illegal immigration is more or less stopped and the general public realise that their real issue is with legal immigration.b
@AbsolutelyVexed@melanizzzle@JakeJK666 But if you're on PIP and decide you want a nicer car, so you pay a bit more, that's not your money right? That's money from the government.
@TobyForster88@confused_naked@ZiaYusufUK@Nigel_Farage So, if we were interested in reducing the number of murders, we'd have to use other predictive factors, right? Like rates of offending from those regions, which are higher than British rates.
But you don't care about reducing murders. You want more economic units.
@TobyForster88@confused_naked@ZiaYusufUK@Nigel_Farage I think you don't realise how bad this looks for you. You're saying that there's no way to screen asylum seekers because even after 5 years, any of them could become homicidal.
