I thought you might be interested in this article about a recent survey by the Department of Communities and Local Government

http://www.thecommentfactory.com/britain...

It suggests that 83% of Brits get along well with people of 'different backgrounds' and consequently that we are happy with multiculturalism. I felt that this percentage had somehow been manipulated so I did a little bit of research, and guess what? It has.

If you go to the Communities and Local Government website linked below and scroll down to the Notes, you will find the following:

1. The 2009-10 Citizenship Survey, run by Ipsos MORI and BMRB on behalf of the Cohesion Research Unit within Communities and Local Government, is a household survey covering a representative core sample of 10,000 adults in England and Wales each year. There is also a minority ethnic boost sample of 5,000 to ensure that the views of these groups are robustly represented.

This means that AT LEAST one-third (33%) of those polled were from the ethnic minorities! Whatsmore, if we assume that the 'core sample of 10'000 adults' included ethnic minorities - which is almost certainly does - then the percentage is closer to 40%.

I wonder how many other Government surveys and polls are rigged in this way!

I rarely jump in and do things like this but when you read what I have to say you'll understand why. I just went to the original government website and downloaded the (1MB ish) PDF report. In ITS Data Quality Notes it admits NOT ONLY has it skewed the survey by adding 5,000 "ethnic minority" votes IT HAS ALSO added a FURTHER 1200 SPECIFICALLY MOSLEM interviews t ensure THEY are "robustly represented". The report I have downloaded is the April-June 2009 report (first quarter 2009/10). No wonder the labour spin doctors sem to be spewing cloud couckoo land fairy tales. They are
