Interesting post Enock.
You don't like pople emigrating to England, even though the English were themselves originally emigrants and you're considering emigrating elsewhere yourself.....
Makes you a pretty confused, ignorant, bigot if you ask me.

Enock Powell, I'm sure that your Country, the UK, is one that is considered free in our World today. Maybe this is why you are getting a flood of people from other Countries where the standard of living is not as high as the UK. Going on the idea that the UK is one of freedom, then why can't you allow people to move about and live their lives in freedom? Rather than creating any type of conflict, why not try to create harmony?
Rather than seeing it as a problem, why not see it as an opportunity? An opportunity to show the World that the UK is a place where anybody who desires freedom can live and work.
If you are from the Christian faith, then why not practice the principles of your faith? I'm sure Jesus would want to see Harmony, rather than conflict.

Current stats show the level of the immigrant population in the UK is 4.8%
Current asylum seeking is running at approx 700 (this includes family members) per month, hardly excessive.
The UK 'takes' approx 2% of the world's refugees.
Until fairly recently the UK had a net out-flow rather than inflow of people.
.....and anyone who imagines the UK is 'full' should take a look beyond London and the SE of England, there's no problem with room.
Naturally what the fascist element try to play on is 1) an ignorance of the actual facts on this matter 2) a deliberate confusion of immigration and asylum seeking when they are two very distinct things and 3) that people will automatically assume that 'brown Britons' are immigrants which is just plain wrong as well as stupid.
...oh, and just for the record -
there is no such thing as a town in Britain with an immigrant population outnumbering the indiginous population.
What is being referred to here are 'brown Britons' outnumbering 'white Britons' - so what is this hmm?
A laughable ressurection of the sad tired little nazi idea of 'sending them back', even the ones born here, hmmm?
Pathetic.
No wonder they - racist and fascist Britons - remain a shunned powerless minority even amongst what they imagine are 'their own'!
There's who most of us don't want to mix with

- What you mean small gangs of white thugs finding out that the 'pakis' don't always run away now....
....and that the racial tensions the numerous white attacks on asians have led to a handful of innocent white kids suffering unprovoked attacks?
But "rivers of blood"?!

obviously the race and culture issue is part of the debate
it is inherently part of the debate because different races / cultures really only entered UK in modern history post war
Leicester has seen indigenous English people outpopulated by recent immigrants and their descendents- soon to follow are Birmingham, London, Luton, Bradford, Oldham to name but a few.
What do you think the reaction would be in Pakistan, if they were told that, due to increasing white immigration, whites would outnumbers the local host community within 50 years- repeat this scenario for anywhere in Asia, the mid east and Africa.
Your asylum figures are as ridiculous
(your attempts at equating quite valid concerns and opposition to the Nazis is despicable
but hardly surprising given the fact that some people, including yourself, seem incapable of allowing mature debate on the subject

- So you are talking about people born in the UK but of an ethnic background?
Just so as we all know.

Absoloutely, yes.
It is obviously part of the debate on immigration given the recent nature of those arrivals

- Rubbish.
Large numbers entered Briton post war but there have always been significant numbers of brown Britons, particularly around the major ports of the UK.

- Yeah yeah yeah.
And. So. What?
Just like parts of London were once inhabited by the eastern European Jewish people who fled their original homes and 'took over' large parts of the east end.
Big deal. Things change and this is simply another one of those changes.
Nothing scary in it at all...except for the fascist's trouble-making reaction.

- Look if you want to talk about what 'they' would do if the situation wer reversed I'd suggest a little thought first.
If ever there was a people that went tramping the entire world, taking over and going where we pleased I'd say it was the British, wouldn't you?

Do you know that the majority of racially orientated disturbances on the streets of the UK does not involve whites- oh no, it involves inter ethnic groups- Kurds & Pakistanis, Bengalis and Turks, Albanians and Blacks etc etc.
Your dismissal of the Bradford and Oldham cases as just asians "defending" themselves is actually racist, guilt ridden hogwash-
numerous asians were convicted for unprovoked attacks
and if you want I ll send you a link to the case in Glasgow recently, where several Asians were tried and convicted of the unprovoked abduction, murder and torture of a white youth- confirmed as racist in its origin.
He was beaten, stabbed and set on fire- you try telling his family that he provoked them, you ignorant cretin.
Utter rubbish, there has never been significant numbers of brown Britons in Britain prior to the second world war, even at the major ports- just typing it does not make it fact.
you indulged in accusations of "nazis" at anyone questioning uncontrolled immigration
The Jews never "took" over the East End to any great degree and that is about the only relatively major influx of peoples who differ greatly from the host inhabitants, that happened for some considerable time (prior to the current onslaught)- in any event, that movement pales into insgnificance compared to the situation today.
ridiculous and futile argument to bring in the Empire
does that mean you believe the newest arrivals should leave the UK after about 100 years as well then
back to the playground with you child
