Article claims Somalis are the LEAST educated and employed immigrants in the UK

[Inactive]

That was the khat days. Nowadays a lot of Somalis work, from the bus man to the Sainsbury cashiers mostly Somalis.

Nah south east. However areas like Harlesden like @sahersi mentioned is terrible, it is a ghetto area. I stay away from those
areas like the plague.

Once again, it's always the European Somalis that lag behind in virtually every aspect. Canada has the best Somali diaspora in terms of progression and integration with society.

Please the articles data is old and out of date.

Here are the recent statistics from a school in London, Lambeth

As you can see Somali children in one random School actually have a 60% GCSE pass rate which is higher than the national average.

We are actually improving the educational attainment rates in our communities.

Most likely mixed race.

I just think this generation just had more time to get accustomed to the educational system of the UK.

Also the economist is blatantly a right wing publication, so they will have their bias against taking in refugees. If you want the left wing version you should read the new statesmen.

Also some more data, food for thought.

Surely having premarital relationships and consuming alcohol means that we are truly integrating into gaalo society.

I'm gonna jot this down for when overzealous alt-righters says Somalis aren't integrating.
