what is it abouit life there that makes somalis go crazy ? So mental un stable somalis in the UK

23 years of non stop

Look at their body language. It says a lot. I don't want to get into it. I don't have that energy.

Britain was never a suitable land for Somalis.

The overcrowding, the pollution, the lack of employment opportunities, the welfare, the marginalization. It has destroyed our men and made our Somali men into weak, drug-addicted losers with too much time on their hands and an inability to care for their families. It's an absolute disgrace

Yeah....the clean water, healthcare, welfare and security destroyed their ambition.

You forgot free education

Sums it up really well. Khat is the devils grass to tempt poor Somali souls.

You forgot free education

Somalis do much better living in Germany and the United States than they do in Britain. Even in places like Ottawa, you will see Somalis prospering and doing fairly well..... It isn't the free education that's holding them back, it's the general atmosphere and the culture that's holding them back.

A person holds themselves backeep a person ccan do whatever they want.. Culture and atmosphere doesn't hold you back.. Every country has good and bad amongst it's population but I wouldn't trade the UK with any western country..

Somalis—Britain’s largest refugee population—do not work. They are among the poorest, worst-educated and least-employed in Britain. In a country where other refugees have flourished, why do Somalis do so badly?

The 2011 census identified 101,370 people in England and Wales who were born in Somalia.

Poverty is their first problem. Over 80% of Somali-speaking pupils qualify for free school meals. In Waltham Forest, a borough in east London, home to nearly 4,000 Somalis, 73% live in households on benefits. More than 50% of British Somalis rent from local councils, the highest proportion of any foreign-born population. In nearby Tower Hamlets 2010 data showed that Somalis were twice as likely as white Britons to be behind with the rent. The cost of their economic marginalisation hurts them, and is a toll on the public sector, too.

Over 100k Somalis and 80% of them qualify for reduced school meal?

unfortunately there are many who trick the benefit system, I am not fond of casting light on somali secrets but this is a reality in the uk, benefits is second income, the real bread and butter is made in the black market.
