A recent Freedom of Information request revealed that 1 in 7 prisoners in Ireland are immigrants. I suspect the same, perhaps more, in the UK. I haven't looked it up.

That immigration has always created problems doesn’t mean it didn’t happen or that, in time, they were overcome and a new normal was established. This isn’t any different. The only difference is it’s the likes of you who do the moaning. Immigration that forced demographic and more importantly cultural changes was forced onto populations. It had zero mandate yet was made to happen. There was and is no validity to it. By supporting it you are no different to the concept of invasion itself. Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle
How many times must I reiterate that where I live has no bearing on what I believe. I can think anywhere and have lived in many places both in the UK and overseas before retiring here, as many do. I left south London 60 years ago. For work originally but also because housing was cheaper elsewhere. I would not want to live there again, but not because of ethnic diversity. I don’t like frenetic cities and prefer the tranquility of rural life. Who are my neighbours matters not at all, so long as they are peaceful and respectful. It very much does matter. Hypocrisy matters. The person who says one thing but behaves in the opposite fashion gets to hear about it. When you push your opinion on immigration I will occasionally repeat your hypocrisy. You are not required to like it but they say the truth hurts don't they. Oh I see, you like the people living around you to be filtered by behaviour do you? Errrr, who doesn't genius. So again, one rule for you but others get what they are served. By reducing social cohesion you create the very opposite. Originally posted by Wisbech Eagle
You live in Wisbech, which unless it has changed dramatically since I was there, is a pretty sleepy place, surrounded by Fens and big skies. It had it’s fair share of immigrant labour, mostly from Eastern Europe working in the food factories and farms and whilst this did give rise to some local issues on occasions, my own experience of the incomers was always positive. They showed respect. Turned up on time and paid their bills. Yeah, thanks for that rather pointless paragraph. Edited by Stirlingsays (29 May 2023 7.12am)

With Conservative voters the immigration issue is the second most important issue. Rather blowing out the water what was suggested earlier.

Doesn't mean we're not all related or whatever hippie spin can be put on it.

I don’t know the state of current opinion in Ireland but in the UK it seems there has been quite a dramatic reversal of opinion, according to a recent poll. So I don’t think your assertion stands up. In any case it’s not the job of government to do what the electorate ask for. If that were true we would be bankrupt in no time. Their job is to deliver what they collectively believe to be what we need. have you seen the rate of Longterm unemployment among some groups entering the country ? coupled to high fertility.........how can you argue that that is good for the economy ? nothwithstanding a refusal to learn English or to separate from one's own community.....effectively creating unemployment mono-cultural ghettos in parts of the country. ...places where English is a second language, and people from country x, or y, or z will avoid like the plague. Multi-culturalism is a street with fifty or a hundred nationalities......not the case in some Northern Towns. Edited by PalazioVecchio (28 May 2023 11.56pm)

I see Elan Musk is warning that the human race is now seriously endangered through under population and we should be breeding like rabbits to correct this alarming issue.

I don't read any newspapers - presumably you are a Daily Mail reader if you think they made up the figures. The ONS published the 2021 census findings and they show that 93.6% of the Cornish population are "White (Cornish/English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Ireland/British)". If you don't accept the ONS figures what are your figures? I don't have any. I read what the ONS say about the figures and how difficult it is to reach conclusions and interpret what they mean. I completely understand that immigrants of working age want to work, so tend to end up where the work is. Cornwall is not going to be at the top of their list! It's also a long way to travel to an interview. Much of the work here is seasonal, which doesn't attract those wanting long term employment. Those that do come are not here long enough to be counted. Our health care provision has also seen an increased use of international staff since Brexit.
