Readers, this is a comment from a reader to my previous post that is worth posting separately (prominently!) so you don’t miss it.
DP111 says:
Britain has allowed in over 300,000 Somalis, some 95% living on Welfare.
Even by East African standards, Somalis are “different”. Somali society is essentially a clan based nomadic society, with highway robbery playing a pivotal role in Somali economy – if one can call it that. Most travellers to that part of the world have written of the contempt and hostility of other East Africans, such as Kenyans and Ethiopians, for Somalis.
So we have, in the Great Multicultural Sweepstakes, imported hundreds of thousands of Somalis into Europe/West, without bothering to find out if they were even remotely capable of adjusting to civilisation?.
As Somalia deteriorated from nothing to below nothing, even highway robbers could not make a living in Somalia. So they have taken up piracy or fled to the West, which, in its unbounded idiocy has accepted these people. Look forward to violent robbery, and other cultural delights.
For Somalis, Britain is paradise – apart from free everything, they can practice their culture without being bothered by the police, as the police in Britain do not “do” robbery or burglary. They simply issue you with a crime number for insurance purposes.
Then we have this

In “All the trouble in the world”, 1994, P. J. O’Rourke, has a complete chapter on Somalia, and its well worth reading.
The general consensus of the marines deployed in Somalia at the time was to give Somalis more weapons and ammunition, and seal the borders.
