Outside of London & Brighton (who have lots of foreign tourists/visitors/students), most of them, surely? What a strange question

I have heard that it is Ripley in Derbyshire. If you had ever been to the place you see why nobody wants to settle there.

Outside of London & Brighton (who have lots of foreign tourists/visitors/students), most of them, surely? What a strange question It depends on how you define British - for example is someone who doesn't speak english as their main language, supports a non UK national team (ie not GB/UK/England/Scotland/Wales/N.Ireland) in sporting events and rejoices in hearing of terrorist actions against British citizens classed as British just because they happen to have a British Passport? |

how many people do you think rejoice at terrorism of any sort? against any group of people? racist whether u admit it or not and how do you arrive at that conclusion? |

By:
Most of the British community in Cardiff are f^^king huge.

By:
well what other conclusion am I to arrive at? there is im sure (and no I dont have a link) a minute population that would rejoice in terrorism. Your comment obv alludes to Muslims and their supposed anti west bias and hatred of all non muslims, celbration of 9/11 etc. I have never met in my entire life one single person who would condone terrorism. I would say even in places such as wembley and other ethnic areas 99% of people were appalled by 9/11 and other such events. to such otherwise is gross ignorance

By:
If by British you mean an extra large percentage (95+) of the population are indigenous white, ask any leftie where he lives, and there's your town.
Simples. |

By:
All of them - they also may have large 'ethnic' communities (funny how this type of thread almost always abuses my mother tongue) but the 2 aren't mutually exclusive. HTH

Big Charlie, shirley you know this is a riddiculous statement.
This is an article about the supermarket closest to me, and I know you consider me a "leftie" : http://www.thisisbusiness-eastmidlands.co.uk/news/Asian-fashion-city-supermarket/article-1407394-detail/article.html |

I have no comeback :( can I perhaps pretend Im a big fan of Rafa Nadal? .... nope... no I cant. This was my second chat name, I thought I was being clever, combining a Pop culture reference with my (at the time) liking of Rafa. Hid*****for LFC imo! |

Nottingham is 76.5% white british, I just checked on wiki. Not a town of the 95%+ I stated. It's area is 28 sq. miles, holding a total population of 292,000 Newhams area is 14 square miles, half of Notinghams, the overall population is 250,000, only 33% are white, and that includes the eastern europeans. There are loads of asian clothes shops. |

I have heard that it is Ripley in Derbyshire. Good call Dave, all around that area the towns between Nottm and Derby seem stronghold, Alfreton ( pronounced as" often "by locals ) and Ilkeston to mention two more . |

By:
Charlie, given nottingham's high % of white how do you explain it's high levels of violent crime. You may also be interested to know that Nottingham has the worst truancy rates in the country.
btw, hyson Green, which is where I gave yo the link to, is no where near 76% white and is known to be notinghams biggest Asian area. Basically, you made the bit up about "lefties" living in white areas, but can't admit it. |

By:
evs, where did u check the ethnic stats, i live close to cirencester and i'd imagine it would be extremely high white %?

You may also be interested to know that Nottingham has the worst truancy rates in the country. btw, hyson Green, which is where I gave yo the link to, is no where near 76% white and is known to be notinghams biggest Asian area. If you want to compare your whole town against one London Borough, Newham, you have 42,000 more people who may or may not be criminals . Forumite 'sap' tried to tell me that Norwich (with virtually no immigrants - I didn't check as he said so) had more serious crime than Newham. Norwich, and all those that live and work in it, total 394,000 iirc, that's 50% MORE people than Newham. I posted the Norwich crime headlines from the local rag, and the Newham crime headlines from the local rag, all taken one hour after he posted about Norwich. Sap lost his argument quite convincingly, but didn't return to the thread. Newham 'won the title' as worse than Norwich in an absolute canter. Fellow forumite 'Ghostdog' tried to defend 'sap', but as he hadn't read the entire thread, he also failed miserably. And so will you if you try to compare the serious crime figures of Nottingham against Newham. I wouldn't lay 1.01 Newham. |

By:
evski , i don't know if you know Nottingham but its high crime rate is not down to its whiteness (which it is not in the parts of Nottingham with a high crime rate)

Towns with large british (you mean white) communities, find out the villages/towns where the labour MPs live ...they're the ones

By:
maddimon, I live near bestwood and all the taxidrivers I speak to think that bestwood is the worst area, and that is almost totally white.
BC you are cherrypicking you info. I live in notts city and and the incidence of violent crime is 32/10000 compared to 31 in newham. Nottingham city, 288,000 people, is ranked 372/373 districts newham is 370/373. YOu lose. :) Well not really, cos you live somewhere nicer than me (almost impossible not to). What you must also remember is that there are some cracking areas within nottingham city, I doubt this is the case in e13 (no real basis for that i spose) |

Strange how you have somehow jumped from my mention of rejoicing in terror to me being anti muslim this is certainly not the case. I am however a nationlist (of sorts) and find it a very odd concept that people should wish to emigrate to a new country but then make little or no effort to integrate themselves into their new environment - and just to make this absolutely clear I am not just talking about muslims or this country in particular. |

By:
well as you probably know St Anns is the area most affedted by crime in Nottingham
|
|
By:
No simon I don't know that. I know its rough and I would live there but it's no worse than bestwood.
roughly where you frmo, i thought you were from north notts? |
|
By:
Nottingham has a seemingly high crime rate for a number of reasons -one is St Anns and another is the fact that most of Nottingham's suburbs (middle class areas liek West Bridgford ,Beeston and Arnold) are not classed as Nottingham but nottighamshire
|
|
By:
chichester..nap

By:
If you include these suburbs the crime rate drops quite significantly

By:
arnold is nottingham city, but you're right the other 2 aren't. ahving said that beeston has a pretty terrible council estate that is mostly white and I don't feel safe in beeston on a friday night. Not that I go there since 3 lads tried to kick the shyte out of me for nothing.

also notts includes mapperly, mapperly park, the park, lenton, sherwood and particularly wollaton which are all quite nice. So don't pretend it's all ghetto.
