Election Year or Fear!

?High profile piece of political manipulation??aka?organised, anpproved and outrageous lying. As you say, not the first, won?t be the last?but currently one of the most disadvantageous to our country.

You seem reluctant to comment on the earlier indiscretion without which, IMO, this one would have had no impact

Not reluctant. Just that my recent contributions centred around the 350m Brexit claim.

As regards the 90’s. I think you have to take account of the contemporary geo political situation and domestic economic situation to get the full picture.

Going back thirty years to the 60’s I remember the Manchester to Bradford bus, which went past my house, being literally full of Asians - mainly Pakistanis. There was resentment and racism from certain quarters but without that migrant input the West Yorkshire textile industry would have struggled.

Not making light of how difficult the whole issue is and the need for a joined up international approach, but thinly veiled prejudice and racism, as imo typified by Farage and Co, offers no answers.

IMO all of you have missed my point (MA and GP yet to declare) that, as evidenced by (my) reliable source data on GPSs, public services (and infrastructure) have failed to keep up with the population explosion. that?s nothing to do with racism (in fact in health immigrants have avoided it being an even bigger disaster), nothing to do with Brexit (it partly predates it), nothing to do with Farage (it partly predates it and he?s never been in power), IMO it?s got a lot to do with a succession of short-term thinking administrations of both colours

Post #3279 is my response. You have, obviously, sourced numbers, as have I. You sourced other people's outcomes, did you source the base data and then do the arithmetic as I did? No need to reply to this post but a line by line answer to my questions in #3279 would be greatly appreciated and, as I said, if I have made grievous errors in sourcing the 2 sets of numbers, you can explain what those errors were and/or any errors I may have made in my arithmetic which prove I was actually wrong, I will gladly admit to being wrong. Having said that, I believe the population figures I quoted were correct, I believe the GP numbers I quoted were correct, I believe my arithmetic was correct. Difficult to see how your sources came up with totally different numbers to mine. We shall see.
