UK Becoming More Ethnically Segregated, Warns MP

Former Labour shadow minister Chuka Umunna stated that  Britain is becoming more ethnically segregated and people may seek "Donald Trump style" solutions if politicians do not act.

He said: "Fifteen years after the Cantle Report, lessons have still to be learnt and cracks in our communities have continued to grow.

"In fact, Britain has become a more ethnically segregated as a nation as immigration has risen over the last decades. This illustrates the problem with a national debate on immigration that focuses almost exclusively on numbers, with too little attention paid to how we integrate people once they settle here.

"We're now at a crossroads. If we don't take action to bridge the divides in our communities, they will grow into gulfs and there is a real risk the British people could respond, not by seeking to solve our problems together, but by seeking to blame one another and look to 'Donald Trump style' solutions."

What are your thoughts?

The first of 219 girls kidnapped by terror group Boko Haram in 2014 has been found alive, according to reports in Nigeria.

The girl was apparently found by civilian vigilantes in the Sambisa Forest area of Borno State on Tuesday.

Amina Ali Nkeki's uncle said she was pregnant and traumatized, but otherwise unharmed.

A community leader, Pogu Bitrus, said other girls from the group may have been rescued too after soldiers closed in on Boko Haram militants on Tuesday night.

Yesterday, as I was running to catch a train, I saw this statue and took a picture. I had to go online to check who he was. His name is Nigel Greley, one of engineering’s true greats and a pioneer of the era of steam.

Ugandan Asians dominate economy after exile

About 50,000 Asians were forced to leave the country in 1972, on the orders of former military ruler Idi Amin, who accused them of "milking Uganda's money" .  Ugandan Asians have regained their prominent role in the country's economy, following their mass expulsion more than four decades ago.  When President Yoweri Museveni seized power in 1986, he encouraged the exiles to return. Now, despite making up less than 1% of the population, they are estimated to contribute up to 65% of Uganda's tax revenues.
