I think your incorrect recollection is referring to this:Ah, Somalians. I recall many many years ago that Southall near Heathrow took in several hundred Somalians as refugees because they were fleeing the civil war in Somalia. A tribal situation not uncommon in that part of the world.
The local (mainly Asian) community were extremely unhappy because these were a group of people who had no intention of working, no intention of integrating, preferring instead to sit outside cafe's drinking coffee and chewing 'khat', a drug that was legal in this country simply for the reason it has never been on the radar.
Despite the local concern, nothing much came of it because there was little trouble, at least while they were stoned out of their heads chewing khat things were peaceful.
Fast forward a year and the Council started taking in refugees from the opposing tribes, who in turn were seeking refuge from the other tribes.
Basically, we ended up with a civil war in Southall between opposing Somalian tribes. That was interesting.
I think eventually there has to be a realisation that there are 'tribes' who will never integrate into our society, hey ho.
I think your incorrect recollection is referring to this:
You are accusing me of labelling you. I only suggested that your comments refer to everyone, because I thought you were in danger of believing that only certain types of prejudices are taught in the home.If you knew me, you'd know I don't have a prejudice bone in my body. For me, this is where it breaks down. As SOON as you try to open up a debate on certain things these days, you're immediately shut down as being an 'ist' when more often than not, it's not the case at all.
And for reference, when I state 'them' I'm referring to anyone that endangers law abiding UK citizens, regardless of skin colour, religion, nationality etc.
Please find some reference to these incidents that you refer to, rather than expect us to rely on your memory to be accurate.You'd be wrong then, the incidents I recall pre-date that.

I suspected as much.I really can't be @rsed.
It's no good asking you to supply evidence for an invented story, you'll tell us all about Harry Potter, and his magic panda.yes I recall the incident (s) as well
def prior to 2004

Tactic number 2, when caught out as fabricating so-called evidence, reply with a "CBA".

don't see anything wrong with people of Indian heritage, lovely, hard working, law abiding citizens, they work hard and do well - more than welcome.Coincidentally, that Labour MP was an Indian born immigrant. What a surprise!
You really mean you can be @rsed to make up some anecdote that justifies your own prejudices, but when asked to supply evidence to provide some support to your anecdote, you suddenly CBA'dI offered no evidence so no fabrication there, simply recalling a situation that anyone who lived locally to that area will recall. I just can't be @rsed to play your silly games.
I wholeheartedly agree.don't see anything wrong with people of Indian heritage, lovely, hard working, law abiding citizens, they work hard and do well - more than welcome.
But when an immigrant from one group, especially a prominent immigrant, who has some authority, incorrectly blames another group of immigrants for the ills in society, then suspicion of inbuilt prejudices are aroused.Sadly in our overly politically correct world people can't deal with the bleeding obvious. up to two thirds of knife crime in the capital (https://fullfact.org/crime/are-majority-youth-knife-offenders-minority-ethnic/) is from one group, but no one is prepared to tackle the problem in fear they are called racists. Very sadly we have now needlessly lost a wonderful MP to such a crime.
