I don't think I am. London is the richest region with the highest immigration. Perhaps the two things are connected in a positive way: skilled migrants are increasing London's output. It seems perfectly reasonable as a proposition.

What, like Tower Hamlets that is 45% Bangladeshi, those skilled immigrants you mean? Bangladeshis are almost 100% Muslim.

• Unemployment among ethnic minorities costs the economy almost £8.6 billion a year in benefits and lost revenue from taxes. Half of Muslim men and three quarters of Muslim women are unemployed.

Do you not think that London was a massive net contributor to taxes and the economy long before immigrants came along?

Any one else see the pretend clown Boris on the BBC1 Andrew Marr Show at 09:00 this morning ?
Having said hi to his 600,000 extra citizens, he went on to support the idea of London as an open city for the clever and the rich.
Whether we like it or not, we need rich people to feel that they and their money are secure.
I would welcome some more clever and rich foreign people to this forum.
