Interesting article. I think, more than anything, we're now starting to see what has already appeared in the US and that is the degeneration of attitudes amongst later generation immigrants even those typically assumed to be "the good ones" (see: US-Korean/Chinese/Japanese).
There are a variety of theories for this but I think the simplest is that, subconsciously, they simply know they don't belong here. Wealth and some status can cover that up but, as Britain's standard of living falls for everyone, it'll only become more and more exposed.
When I went to school there was a large contingent of Kashmiris/Punjabis; Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. All of them looked forward to their long summer holiday back in the Punjab/Kashmir. A friend, a Sikh, opined to me once that coming back to Britain was "always depressing". They were all very much middle-class too.
My friend went on to Cambridge and became a doctor. Every bit an exemplar of immigration done right yet I always remember that conversation we had as teenagers. Opinions like that don't die easily.
The author is trying to equate criminality amongst all South Asian groups as similar
However, The most reliable recent summary I found is that Muslim prisoners are the largest religious group after Christians and people with no religion, and one recent source puts Muslim prisoners at about 18% of the prison population. The same broad prison statistics do not provide a separate national total for “Pakistani heritage,” because ethnicity and religion are reported in different ways and not cross-tabulated into that specific category.[gov +2]
What the data shows
• Muslim: about 18% of prisoners in the latest cited figures.[gov +1]
• Christian: about 48% in the same broad recent reporting.[gov]
• No religion: about 31%.[gov]
• Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jewish, other, not recorded: each much smaller negligible shares
"There is recent statistical evidence which shows that since 2020, there have been 27 non-EU young workers hired for every one young British worker that has been hired."
That's not true. The INCREASE in the total number hired over the six year period from January 2020 to December 2025 was 27 times higher among non-EU young workers than among young British workers. The total number of people hired over this period, and the increase in the total number over this period, are two different things.
If in 2025 the total number of young British workers hired had been the same as it had been in 2020 (no increase), then the increase would be zero. Any positive number divided by zero is infinity, but that doesn't mean that if there had been an increase (any positive number) in the number of non-EU young workers hired over the same period, the headline should be "there were an infinite number of non-EU young workers hired"!
The Centre for Social Justice is misunderstanding or misreporting this. It's the total numbers of people hired that is the important context here.
Was the Sikh guy who wanted to shoot Queen Elizabeth at Windsor the same as I read about in the media? He had been incited to do so by an AI girlfriend, he told the police. Not the brightest of the bunch! 😉 PS As to the article: what is to be done about it? Many things. In reality, nothing at all.
I found the article very illuminating so thank you.

Abolish the British commonwealth.
It's very funny that even certified psychos like El Inglés entirely ingested all the "Respect 4 Sikhs" stuff.
