Another story is that of the Somalian nationals who killed the Bradford police woman. To prove my point that the Italian guy will probably commit more crime serious when released, the above Somalian killers have stabbed somebody in prison. The country of Somalia is unstable and anyone who gets to the U.K by crossing those 15 borders or so will have experienced the brutal civil war in one way or another, many mentally unstable. Current employment rates in the U.K for Somali nationals are lower than 10% and they have the highest crime rates of overseas immigrants, even beating Jamaican nationals! The women have the highest pregnancy rates and lowest literacy levels. In Northampton the local paper reported a starling story where 75% of Somali mothers are now single parents in the 4000 strong community, mostly due to the males in the family getting addicted to Khat, an imported root narcotic that makes them violent. Because Somali women have families to secure citizenship it’s a big drain on local resources. If you reflect that statistic nationally its not good.

dysfunctional somali family break-ups on the rise.

In a survey conducted for this article, 78 Somalis of different sexes and ages, both married and single, were asked to give their views on the main causes of marriage breakdowns within the UK’s Somali community.

The new culture was not supportive of traditional marriage customs, the interviewees felt. External cultural influences were the main reason given for marriage break-ups (76%). The rest of the interviewees (34%) blamed the economic independence of the diaspora women.

28% blamed khat, a green narcotic leaf widely chewed by the Somalis. Khat was illegal in Somalia from 1983 until 1991 when the regime that banned it was overthrown. In the UK, where it can be purchased legally, it is widely believed that the substance causes financial hardship and sexual impotence.
Interestingly, nearly half (46%) said Somali marriages in the diaspora were simply not strongly rooted in a committed relationship. When asked what the most common reasons for getting married were, 53% considered love as the starting point, while a staggering 44% said that Somalis in the diaspora married for financial reasons.

What I don't understand is, why the hell do people stay in places where they cannot find employment?
