21,937 prisoners, was from a minority ethnic group. This compares to around one in 10 of the general population.

Out of the British national prison population, 10% are black and 6% are Asian. For black Britons this is significantly higher than the 2.8% of the general population they represent.

Overall black prisoners account for the largest number of minority ethnic prisoners (49%).

At the end of June 2014, 28% of minority ethnic prisoners were foreign nationals.

According to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, there is now greater disproportionality in the number of black people in prisons in the UK than in the United States.

That is the number out of 86,000 in British jails(2015 figure)

Come round to my Doctors waiting room then. 16 people in there,6 speaking in some European language,4 of Asian origin,1 Chinese and some one I could not place having a go at the receptionist because he could not get free treatment as he had only been in the country 10 months. The other 4 of us were white British. I was there to support my wife so you could say 15 patients. Doctors 3 are not of British origin 5 are.

You wont annoy me John, I detest Rugby. Invented in a boys public school where sweaty boys can hold each other, even the ball looks like a large suppository.

If I were younger I would not run away as a lot of these fit young men we see on TV do. If it was my country I would stand and fight ISIS. Did we chuck in the towel in 1940? Cowards I don’t want that sort here, let Europe keep them.

Would we need so many immigrant NHS staff if we did not have so many immigrants I wonder?

I know about emission tests for petrol cars. Fortunately I drive a 4.0 ltr Lexus Soarer and a 2.2 Honda Prelude(4 wheel steer) both of 1991 and 92 Vintage They are my pride and joy and keep them in pristine condition. They are both exempt from this test but as a matter of fact they would both have passed with flying colours. They are both complex cars for the time and are both capable of showing a clean pair of heels to most new cars. my thought is why do Motor manufacturers have to keep tinkering with their products to produce even more complex cars that cost a fortune to repair with thing the average motorist does not even want or use? I laugh at the claims for economy as everybody I have ever spoken to cannot achieve the MPG the salesman claims. Lets face it cars today are throw away items after 10 years or less now. Seen many Jaguar xjs’s ,Vauxhall Senators, Saab 900’s or any early a series A class Mercs or an E class without rusty front wings recently? BMW e 38s are a few hundred quid for the drifting boys.

My point is a car is probably the second most expensive purchase after a house and you should expect that it is built to last especially if you spend 20k or more on it and not with biodegradability built in or massive prices from the main stealers to keep it on the road.

Sorry for the thread drift but what is a used diesel VW going to be worth now?

Just as an after thought . If the VAG cars that are affected fail the emissions test will they be banned from the road or will there be an exemption, if so if I roll up in my mates Shogun with slightly lower readings can he claim it as well?

Watching our local BBC news it has three Jag engines as well(as I say local news so I wonder)

I have not been there for years and I enjoyed it very much. Now I am quite severely disabled and can walk with elbow crutches very slowly and need to sit down or at least lean against something for a few minutes to get some strength back frequently. I would like to visit again but only if the museum is disabled friendly.

Can any one answer this for me?
