I’ve already written about the glaring scandal of Britain’s 250,000+ Somali community of which over 80% are what we politely call ‘economically inactive’ – figures from the Guardian and the ONS (click to see more clearly)

Actually, there are probably a lot more than 250,000 Somalis here because a few years ago the Dutch government clamped down on benefits-scrounging by Somalis. So, many thousands moved to Britain for an easier and more lucrative life here doing nothing at someone else’s expense. Most will be classed as EU citizens as they hold Dutch passports.

Britain’s Somalis probably cost us well over £2.5bn a year in benefits, housing education, healthcare and policing. This is something that the media (especially the BBC) and politicians don’t often mention when telling us how good immigration is for Britain. If they do mention the Somalis, usually the story is about how Britain’s generous Somalis send around £100m a year to their extended families back in Somalia. Though given how few Somalis actually work, one might wonder where (benefits? crime?) that £100m comes from.
