MazzyStar Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 55 minutes ago, Theroadlesstravelled said: Across history hundreds of thousands of people have fought and died to fight Fascism under the banner of Socialism. Modern "Socialists" are just bored, middle class rebellious teenagers, with unknown gender alignment, who are scared of getting Covid in 2024. If they had a 9-5 job that paid over the minimum wage they'd be in the house watching Corrie instead. Pathetic. Do they also pretend to live in California and post pictures of their imaginary girlfriends like you do? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Play Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 In case anyone is interested there is an article on the BBC website entitled “Why Scotland may have avoided far-right unrest”. It includes a contribution from Prof Sir John Curtice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the person in the article to mention the real reason, we have far less immigration As the knuckle scrapers would be out on the streets if we did 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 As a percentage of population it's about 10% for Scotland and 14% for England and Wales that are 'foreign born', or non UK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 6 minutes ago, Binos said: The country as a whole Why is someone who lives in Scunthorpe any more affected by immigration to London or Birmingham than someone who lives in Inverness? Riots haven't been in the country as a whole. They have been in areas with less ethnic diversity. Hull, Aldershot, Sunderland, Hartlepool all >90% white. Glasgow is more diverse by a long way. Even Edinburgh is a bit more diverse. Also outside England, Cardiff (no trouble) is about 80% white. People who haven't direct experience of immigrants are more likely to dehumanise them and believe the scare stories about innundation by benefir hungry rapists. People who have direct experience are more likely to see co workers, friends and members of their community. It's not generally the immigrants that are the problem. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the BBC article: “The latest Scottish census shows 7% of the population is from an ethnic minority, compared to 18% overall in the UK.” I don’t think the article refers to where people were born. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was referring to immigration. The BBC are talking about ethnicity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
