UKIP, BNP, MRLP - all of ‘em.... 

 

Could get messy real quick?

I won’t question your figures E55er, what you’re presenting as a UK wide calculation. 
 

See what happens when you re-do the figures for certain indicative local town, parish, county and borough areas and see where your water goes then 😂

 


In 2016, it was estimated that Birmingham had the largest Muslim population of any local authority in England and Wales at...

 

 

Yes, I skimmed over that earlier, foreigners all ways tend to stick together in certain areas. There's no if's and but's about that, but that also means there are areas like Cornwall and Suffolk that have very few foreigners, swings n roundabouts.

Isn’t the South Asian population in the midlands largely due to the import of labour to manufacturing industries in the 60/70s?

Near enough, immigration from the Indian subcontinent started in the 50's, as you say, to fill the labour gap.

I agree Mark.
 

Probably a lot like yourself, I don’t have a ‘place’ where I am completely happy to put my ✖️it’s more a case of having to chose the place I’m least unhappy with....
