That's assuming that the immigrants since 1983 have beome naturalised British citizens because, by it's definition, the survey only included "Britons"That's a very good point. Immigration has risen since 1983, so a higher proportion of non-white people would have been included in the survey year on year. One explanation for the increase in prejudice.
These weren't your words then, Brigadier:Quite so, Brigadier, the study does indeed run the risk of some people making spurious and inflammatory assumptions.Thank you RH.
Without removing any obvious discrepancies or ambiguities, the study runs the risk of some people making perhaps spurious or inflammatory assumptions, to "fill in the blanks". This in itself is potentially inflammatory, and divisive.
"Publish and be damned!"
Or is the study intended to be so?
The study has been carried out every year since 1983 to monitor trends in social attitudes.
Now if your suggestion is that it's inflammatory and divisive, I would argue that your assumption is one of those spurious and inflammatory claims. Addditionally it's only a claim without a shred of supportive argument, merely your opinion of the survey.
You're welcome to your opinion, but I don't share it.
If I choose between an observation on social atitudes and how they change over time conducted by a respected body, and your opinion, I'll choose the social attitudes survey every time.
That the study is inflammatory and divisive is neither my opinion, assertion, or claim - I have just demonstrated the ability to see the world from a viewpoint other than my own.
If one cannot envisage or imagine another's viewpoint, they will be limited in what they can bring to any debate.
Maybe someone else's opinion, not yours?This in itself is potentially inflammatory, and divisive.

What a ridiculous comment, based on imagination and guesswork.What a ridiculous survey.
No mention of which sections of society were questioned with reference to other sections.
If you were to ask Sikh,s, about Muslims the percentage being racially prejudiced would be extremely high.
And this occurs across all immigrant races.
In fact if you were to analyse all sections of society accurately, I would be willing to bet that white English would be amongst the most tolerant of all.

I'm sure if the survey had asked 2000 Pakistani Muslims, which race they hate, the answer would have been "All other races."
Urban mythology again.Think you'll find he's right. Worked with plenty of indian lads and sections won't even talk to each other (don't know if its religion/regional reasons as i'm not interested) but its a fact.
