A lot of young men came to this country from African countries torn apart by civil war. Some of them may have been boy soldiers, some of them may have been victims and some may have witnessed all sorts of atrocities. Throw into that mix drugs and territorial issues (estates)and gang culture and it is no surprise that we have major issues today.

The worst thing about this attitude is that its black children dying, and black children getting criminal records, and ultimately black children getting trapped in a circle of poverty.

If you want to help people, shutting down any conversation does not help.

But I dont think there is a link between immigration and knife crime (certainly not 1st generation immigration in the last 50 years) I think there is a link between knife crime and discifracised youths who are influenced by a gangster rap culture in the media and easily influenced by those around them telling them they are different and treated badly and authority is the problem..... strangely similar to how some of the white working classes from outside of london are told that the are treated badly and immigrants are the problem.

Poverty is the root cause.

The lass stabbed to death earlier this year in Harold Hill was a mistaken identity and related to a local drug turf war - seems drugs is often the common denominator.

Utter nonsense.

Knife crime hardly existed statistically before the arrival of Caribbean immigrants and more recently, Africans.
The mental somersaults people will do to avoid the truth.

Poverty does not make people murdering scum.

Agreed but are they immigrants from the EU or is their presence directly connected with EU membership?

If no to either what has this got to do with Brexit? Find another thread or please stay on point

Plenty of organised crime originates in Eastern Europe.

You mean apart from the published data? Bad social conditions, poor parenting and a lack of suitable resources have existed for hundreds of years without people stabbing each other.
Denying the facts is inherently racist since the majority of victims are from the same background.

The same background? That may well be correct, but I haven't seen anything myself other than apocryphal evidence. But immigrants? Are you sure? The children or grandchildren of immigrants maybe.

Why the rise in the use of knives? I am no expert but it looks like an out of control copy cat phenomenon to me, exacerbated by a lack of police resources and kids from bad backgrounds who think they won't be caught.

Or do you think the blame lies solely at the door of "immigration".

No, it’s people from s*** cultures where life is cheap and disputes are routinely sorted out with brutality and violence. The kind of culture we left behind a long time ago. The fact that they don’t integrate (integration is now racist remember) and are coming in numbers that makes that almost impossible means that it doesn’t matter if they are 1st generation or 3rd. They share very little by way of traditional values with the indigenous people of these islands. We also continue to tell them that white British people are all racists and hate them which is not true. It’s not their fault but human nature. It doesn’t mean we put up with it though.

Why do people think that their countries of origin are so s*** in the first place? Something in the water perhaps?

Firstly I don’t think either of us is trying to attribute blame. This is a tragedy for society and for the families of those involved. It makes me sad that it’s happening in the city I called home for nearly 60 years.
Ask yourself which areas of London you would be reluctant to walk around and why. There has always been poverty but not the horrendous murder rate we’re seeing.

You are completely deluded. Conclusive proof.

Your place of birth means nothing. It is culture that dictates.

You are deliberately obtuse and mealy mouthed on every topic.

Read again what you originally wrote!

You followed criticism of our "immigration policy" with a remark about the rise in knife and other crime. Are you now telling me that you weren't trying to associate those two things and it was purely a coincidence you happened to mention them together?

I totally agree that your place of birth means nothing and that culture means a lot more, although not that it always dictates.

There's probably a lot to be said for crunching carrots in Cornwall. Ignorance is bliss.

When was the last time you had a walk around the East End ? Somali gangs are running riot. Muslim gangs are attacking pub-goers because they don't agree with drinking alcohol. Eastern Europeans are running protection rackets.

A lot of these immigrants are here illegally and are coming through the EU due to freedom of movement, and according to recent reports, many are being given a helping hand by the French authorities as they want them off of their hands.

Tell me. Just how many generations do you think we have to go back before someone is no longer to be regarded as an immigrant? 1? 2? 5? 10? 100?

If the last 2 then almost all of us are, at least in part, immigrants.

Or do you actually just mean "black"?

On that I can happily agree. It's a tragedy for everyone. Trying to find a way to put a spanner in the works and stop this wheel turning is urgently needed and far beyond any tribal politics. I don't have the answer but I truly hope someone else does.

Never in the field of human conflict was so much boll@x written by so many to so few.

Poverty is not the root cause. The black community and white liberal apologists like you are.

There are plenty of p@ss poor white, Indian, Chinese and Polish kids, however they generally don't go round carrying knives.

Its a culture fing, innit?

No
The blame apparently lies with schools police expensive trainers lack of an iPhone etc etc etc.
Never the parent!
Poverty, we dont know poverty.
I know of no one starving to death in the street unless by option.
Go to Zimbabwe or Venezuela. That is poverty.
Lame f***ing excuses for low life dont give a s*** scumbags.
Cant stop and search as its racist.
I bet many young men would still be alive if the scum that stabbed them was allowed to be searched.

It's been a while since I spent any time in the East End and a year or two since I even passed through but I watch the TV reports just like everyone else.

Dealing with illegal immigration is obviously a big problem but I cannot see why ending freedom of movement will help with that as we already have border controls which check everyone. Except the illegals.

As a young man I went to college in Whitechapel and have drunk a beer in the Blind Beggar. All at the time when the Krays ruled the roost running the most insidious protection rackets. The Krays were 100% British.

I have no problem with "stop and search" providing we have the police resources for them to do it safely.

Indeed but they didn't go around stabbing innocent girls in the park. They were very nasty pieces of work but I doubt they ever harmed a woman or child

I would like to know what checks you think are carried out on say a Latvian national compared to an Australian or US national,
