I have friends in the UK, in London and Brighton. Their life isn't a lot different than mine except in ways that are important to me. I don't want to merely survive and not be murdered. I want to live my life my way. Your system doesn't value that as much as I do. You may not realize this, being obsessed with tea as you are, but I don't feel in danger when I leave my home. Stats don't ever paint a complete picture even when they are accurate. I don't walk around scared of being murdered. Freedom is what's important to me and very few places have much of it left. Freedom is the one thing none of the countries offer a lot of these days, but I have more here for things that matter to me than I'd have in the UK. I can afford to drive my car here. I can afford to have a yard. An actual yard, not a 4x4 plot of grass in front of the house. But it doesn't much matter because the UK would rather have Islamic people than white folks whose ancestors were from there. Let's assume for a minute all your arguments are correct- so? It's not like we can all fit in the UK, is it? Your snapshot of a moment in time, your attitude that the only thing that matters is not being murdered- what's it worth? It only matters to people who value surviving over thriving. But by all means, treat us to another round of cheeky remarks- those so prove your point.
