I shall take the risk of being accused of racism in order to reveal facts I recently uncovered in the press and which I shall add to personal knowledge from S. Yorkshire.Somalis in the UK ,whose numbers run into hundreds of thousands, have an atrocious record, indeed by far the worst of any immigrant group for being in work. A minute 19% are employed and thus 81% are either unemployed or economically inactive. [Compare the latter figure to Indians where this figure is a highly respectable 25%]
80% of Somalis live in social housing - compared to a tiny 21% of Irish immigrants.
At 40%, Somalis have the highest benefit claims of any identifiable group.
Several years ago, long before a Somali gang had murdered one of his colleagues in Bradford, I asked a policeman about racist attitudes in Sheffield and he said the police were generally very happy dealing with all ethnic communities with the single exception of the Somalis, whom he personally detested, as their malicious attitudes to police, law and order and society in general were consistently self-serving and despicable.
I write this on here knowing that some will be horrified that this has been brought to light. Just because it is politically incorrect to report negative comments about a racial group, does not mean that facts should be concealed.
I shall however, make no personal comment.
Incidentally, was Somalia ever a part of the Empire?
