Can you share the data on the negative impact of migrants from Asia and Africa?
It seems at odds with what I'm reading.
Look it up yourself. They are a net drain and all the evidence proves it. If you're denying that, it's because you're choosing to not look at the evidence.
RE Music and Art, those are subjective
So why did you just state it as a fact that they've contributed so much? When I challenge you on that comment, suddenly you switch to the argument that art is subjective. Funny how that works, eh?
whether you feel immigrants have contributed or not, is neither here nor there
It's not "neither here nor there", it's extremely relevant because you just made a claim that immigration has had a positive impact on art (including music) in Britain, then when I challenge you on it, you can't name anything. What contributions have Pakistanis, Indians, Somalis, Bangladeshis, Yemenis, Turks, Nigerians etc etc made to art? The only group that's made any contribution is Jamaicans and that's entirely in music. When it comes to film and other visual art, they, like all the other groups listed above, are non-existent. There is no 'rich contribution' like you're making out.
but the list of British musicians and artists with heritage from countries other and the UK, is long.
So name them. Name all the musicians who have Pakistani, Indian, Somali, Bangladeshi, Yemeni, Turkish & Nigerian heritage. Go! You shouldn't have any problem doing this, considering how "long" the list is... right?
You also ignored my comment about film & literature and the non-existent contributions immigrants have made. Why?
Sport - Even going to to 2012, a third of the medals won by team GB were won by athletes from immigrant families. Pop over to squad list on the England football homepage, and tell me immigration has had no impact on sport.
That doesn't substantiate your claim that immigration has made sport "better". How many of these medals were won by Pakistanis, Indians, Somalis, Bangladeshis, Yemenis & Turks? And how many of these groups have produced football players who play for the English national squad? It looks to me like you want to view immigrants as a monolithic block in this particular context, which ironically is what leftists are always saying they're against, instead of looking at the specific details. I'm sure groups like Jamaicans & Nigerians have made a strong contribution to the British sporting world... but the other groups? Not so much. Happy to be proven wrong, though. Let's see if you can. Go right ahead!
Rape gangs - Rochdale, Telford and Rochchester were all horrific, and the groups responsible should be smashed with the full weight of the law
Empty words. Why do leftists always ignore/down play this issue? You realise it's still going on, right? You realise the three examples you gave are vastly outnumbered by the ones you didn't give, yes?
but conflating that behaviour with ALL immigrants is wrong
There's that typical leftist deceit again. I didn't do that, did I? I said that immigration is the cause of this rape gang issue, which it is. That's an indisputable fact. It's a fact that muslims of various ethnic groups have a very hateful view of women, particularly European women. It's completely normal to view them as pieces of meat who are deserving of rape. Are you aware of this? Why would leftists support the importation of such a culture?
Also notice how you're imploring me not to conflate this behaviour with "ALL" immigrants, but you're conflating wonderful contributions (which don't actually exist) in the worlds of sport and art to ALL immigrants (or all immigrant groups, at least)? The game you people play is obvious to anyone with more than one brain cell.
and the reality is that most groups caught sexually exploiting children, were white British.
More of that typical leftist deceit. Those white men who do that are exploiting other white children. The correct comparison would be to point out all those gangs made up by white British men who exploit Pakistani girls. Can you give me some examples of that happening? Because only THAT is the correct comparison. Also, demographics... the overwhelming majority of the British population is white. Of course they're the majority of offenders in this crime (and every other crime). You're making a non-point here, but that's all leftists ever do. But Pakistanis are VASTLY over represented in this crime, and there is a specific problem of them targeting non-muslim girls. Which obviously you pretend doesn't exist.
