Interesting - I think the media in this country (especially the likes of the Daily Mail) tends to report more on minorities that may influence people's perceptions of the true figures. Hard to do a comparison with only 5 countries though.

Yes, agree on the small number of countries. Okay, here's the actual numbers of asylum seekers accepted per country, of course it's only the numbers they accept.

 

 

This should put in perspective some of the claims here.

[Big J R]

There will always be 'statistics', then more 'statistics', and then 'damn lies' !

 

Anyone with a modicum of intelligence can manipulate figures to suit their own cause !

Big J R - Exactly, that's what Loosely can't seem to get his head around, it's not all about statistics is it

And the next.

[Rhodes]

Loosely - Why do you put so much emphasis on all these meaningless statistics, they mean absolutely nothing

Since they are facts it helps to blow bigots and racists not to mention you out of the water doesn't it?

[Rhodes]

Loosely - If that is the case and they are facts then what about teenage mothers, what have you got to say about us being second in the World table of girls aged between 13 and 19 giving birth each year.

Im afraid I can't claim any credit personally Rhodesly but whose government is this happening under? In any case, I'm certain you are more the expert where single parent families are involved.

 

However, it's a good poll demonstrating the truth as opposed to the hyperbole certain bigots like to spout don't you think?

Should shut you up at least.

[Rhodes]

However, it's a good poll

I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I'm not one for polls and statistics, they're totally meaningless as far as I'm concerned

[Loose]

Well facts have never been your thing have they? 

[Rhodes]

but whose government is this happening under?

Yes but who did Cameron inherit the problem of teenage, and particularly gymslip, Mothers from

[Loose]

So you admit that facts were never something that interested you Rhodesly?

 

That's all we need to get to here isn't it? Yup, you're cooked nicely again.

[Rhodes]

What on earth are you talking about, so you fully agree that the problem stemmed from Labour's arrogant attitude when they were in power and when all our old fashioned family values went out of the window.

[Loose]

This and you ignoring the follow up seems to be what on Earth Rhodesly.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that, I'm not one for polls and statistics, they're totally meaningless as far as I'm concerned

Yup, medium to well done I'd say.

[Savagebee]

Add all the illegal immigrants as well.

[Rhodes]

Yes, indeed, good point, many of the women will arrive here already pregnant or with a sole purpose of getting pregnant so they can take us to the cleaners.

[Loose]

Yes well, those ones will be in the statistics. Horrifying.

 

The ones that aren't, those'll be illegal, can't blame those on anyone but the French, Spanish or Italians. Unless maybe that would be under the purview of the current government. Oh dear.
