Liverpool riverside is the cool place to be if your from abroad.

Someone needs to tell them to have a look at crosby.

And Acton in particular with 36% foreign born. Now that's what I call welcoming.

As someone who lived in Acton for 15 months, I can confirm it is a right dump and no at all welcoming.

Ive no problem with immigration, but you move 36% of any people into an area let alone people form a variety of backgrounds/languages/circumstances, your are not left with a lovely outer-london suburb.

Its not about being welcoming, its about being practical.

Everyone suffers from 36% immigration into an area the size of Acton, the locals, the immigrants themselves, the country.

There's a similar sized immigrant population in my neck of London and it's a nice enough place. I like living here.

You know that they all dont move in at the same time dont you? Some of the foreign born have been there decades, others a shorter period of time. It's the rate of absorption that counts.

Liverpool has always historically been a very mobile population, it's something we've been used to. So when I look at the local trend I have to say that these days we're a very stable area as far as immigration goes. No wonder the BNP are about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit around these parts.
