The stats say otherwise.

As I pointed out in the above post, everyone's stats are 6 years old, because the last census was in 2011. There is one this year. The 2017 census somehow showing some sort of vast shift in population demographics is HIGHLY unlikely, especially considering the fact that immigration levels year-on-year, whilst up since 2011, are not up THAT significantly. And in fact the current figures don't even have a particularly high degree of accuracy because - as you point out yourself - there IS NO DATA AVAILABLE since 2011 and the current immigration stats are estimates that are likely to be revised as soon as the actual data is collated.

There's very little point continuing to argue these points until the 2017 census data is available... but I'm sticking a reminder in my calendar to pop back into this thread when that data is released. I would be willing to bet a decent amount that they show minimal increase in the vast majority of areas.

my stats are from 2015 anyway the point was TS that you were not asked by anyone demanding stats from Tozzie to produce them to back up your post, one rule for one etc.... but thank you for producing them.

Estimates, the only official population stats are the census.

they might be estimates but they are probably more accurate than figures from 6 years ago

I prefer to rely on stats rather than biased perceptions.

That reason being casual racism, I assume?

Nope.The reason being that prominent parts of it resemble an Asian country rather than a Yorkshire city.
