/// He and his parents saw our country as a land of safety and opportunity. It afforded him neither. Thavisha died in broken Britain; a potent symbol of its disintegration into shocking and gratuitous lawlessness. ///
/// In the words of one of his cousins, Britain was a ‘glossy apple – but with a rotten core’. ///
If you agree with this family's sentiments, what has brought Britain down to this level?

/// My point was that had TWR taken a bit of time his wording would have been better without the insult of 'turban person'!! ///
And perhaps if you had taken time with your wording you would have not spelt Sikh wrongly.
Incidentally would it have also been 'insulting derogatory' to call a man wearing a bowler hat, as a "Bowler Hat person"?

Your sarcasm doesn't suit you sir.
But try and sweep it under the carpet all you may, just as the politicians of this country do, whether or not one reads the Daily Mail or even it's website one doesn't really need to, because there are other news outlets and they also report on the Black on Black stabbings, shootings, Eastern European organized crime, and terrorism. Crime in this country has increased since the introduction of mass immigration.

Normalised to 'crimes per head of population'?
ie Crime rate.
You would naturally expect absolute level - or 'total quantity of crime' - to increase simply due to increased population, assuming a fixed percentage of criminality shared by all ethnicities.
Increase from 58 million to 60 million and, proportionately, crime should increase by 3.33% as well. If it's one criminal per 1000 people, we need to increase from 58,000 prison places to 60,000 prison places and so on. I acknowledge that 2000 extra crime events will create shock newspaper headlines at a rate of hundreds per year.
You have to be careful, when using phraseology which overtly associates crime with mass immigration not to leave the impression that everyone British=law abiding and everyone foreign=criminal. If I'm not mistaken, that's practically the definition of racism. If that wasn't your intention, it maybe best to make that clear.

No AOG - I try to click on Daily Mail links as little as possible, because every time you go to their site via 'click through', you increase the amount they can charge advertisers.
Normally, if there's an interesting story, I like to check it out in the Guardian or Independent, because a) I'm not a fan of 'spun stories' and b) I think the Daily Mail makes people more ignorant, not less.

And, AOG, rereading you post, it really is what you believe. You should be gratified that there are black on black stabbings. Each killing means that there is one less black here, which should suit your views admirably. You should take the sanguine view of the police in Nice, who greet each shooting of one gangster by another as "a settling of accounts" , and give a gallic shrug while putting the papers at the bottom of the files.
Organised crime does cross borders. It does not matter whether it is British drug dealers or Eastern European pimps, they trade where the money is.
Locally, the criminals will fill the criminal jobs which are available. I can remember the Mifsuds being pimps on a large scale, being big players in the vice trade in Soho. They were Maltese. But the same business was available to British natives, and was pursued by them. So, be it Polish plumbers or Latvian fruit pickers, if the jobs aren't being taken by natives, foreigners will do them.
