Originally posted by Paddy View PostYou need to visit Leicester to understand. There is a large emigration population with houses packed to the maximum. Often UK laws are not understood or ignored eg. rubbish and old furniture dumped in the streets. The same is in parts of North London.
Are you sure? There was no mention of immigration being a factor or is this the another media smoke screen to protect the 'cultural sensibilities'? If emigration and adherence to UK law is a factor then why would those who ignored lock down down now stick to it?
Anyway if Leicester City play Crystal Palace at the Crisp Packet Stadium this weekend that will make even more of a mockery than Dom's road trip.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment

It may be a factor or it may not be a factor. It would need to be evidenced. Worth bearing in mind, however, the long and ignoble history of blaming minority groups for the impact of pandemics, e.g. Persecution of Jews during the Black Death - WikipediaComment

City councillor Ratilal Govind said he thought a lack communication with people who do not speak English as a first language could be one factor behind the increasing numbers.Some 49 per cent of Leicester’s 340,000 population is of Asian heritage or from black backgrounds while in east Leicester that figure is around two thirds.
“I have seen young people getting together, having a few drinks and conversation,” the Labour councillor told the MailOnline.
Seems perfectly reasonable to me, unless someone is translating the daily briefings and NHS adverts its not like our new neighbours are getting the same immersive experience as those who speak English are. We as a nation should do something about that.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostJust Google "Covid19 ethnic groups" and you will see. There are a number of factors including lack of vitamin D, close proximity in housing, close proximity in communities, and poverty. However, in my own observations, social distancing is not observed.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment
