    C4 Dispatches - immigrants really good for Britain

    Except Somalis, Pakistanis, Turks, North Africans, and Bangladeshis that is.

    The Portuguese are "stupid, lazy and poor, like Pakistanis". I can't believe this is going out on British TV.


    Indians are the best - "dead brainy, and least burden on public services", along with Americans.

      Not rocket science but surely the usefulness of any potential migrant (in the absense of a system to properly evaluate the individual that is) is fairly well indicated by the nature of the society they come from. People make their societies and societies shape their people.

          agreed

          im a pakistani and i think there a major issue in high ethnic areas for sure..but no bums in my family and its a big family except 1 cousin who gets a lot of headaches other then that every single one of my cousins works!

          so myth exposed hehe

          but i been to places like kieghley and oldham where it can suck..

          indians r mega hard workers i have to admit but the word immigrant should be banned...its just has so many over tones to it!!

              maybe they should compare legality of arrival with stress on the system? If the immigrants follow the rules IMHO they are more likely to be the kind of people we need. If they lie & cheat to get in whats to stop them continuing?

              Nothing to do with race.

                  The wife deals with Banladeshis all day long. They are her worst "customers", they don't want to pay for anything. And they are the worst abusers of the immigration system.

                  Pakistanis are mainly from the north, which is the poorest most illiterate part. Which I think was by design. But I think the nature of Islamic teaching in the area which discourages science, math etc.. has played a strong part.

                  India got all the educational system at partition and that has contributed much. Hinduism has always been about working hard anyway, which has brought the success and attitude you see.

                  Too late to kick anybody out now. One could argue that considering the sh*t way the British Raj was to them, Britian is now getting its comeuppance.

                  Can't say much about the rest...as didn't watch the programme.
