I’d be racist if I said it was because of Middle-Eastern immigration to the UK, so I won’t say that.

Gee,
I wonder if this has anything to do with the influx of muzzies to the UK.

We used to be able to remember at least 12-15 phone numbers. Can you do that now? The more electronic devices we have,the less we know.

Erase the welfare state, and IQ’s will resume their upward march.

The brain is a muscle. If you don’t use it, it atrophies.

Interesting that the picture from the article shows a mob of Caucasian zombies. I bet the IQ drop has a DIRECT link to migration from those from out of the continent.

Correction. IQ’s are not dropping. THE AVERAGE IQ IS DROPPING.
Not the same thing.
Try separating out the native Brits from the bearded ones who are arriving and multiplying and give me the corrected numbers.

But Flynn also predicted the recent drop in IQs, and his reasoning is quite simple. He believes that the rise in IQ scores is related to the rise in health and environmental factors better nutrition, more access to education, a more stimulating lifestyle.This may be a factor, but ....
We tax productive people up to their eyeballs to subsidize a lavish, by any historical standard, lifestyle for the incompetent. Fertility rates fall in developed countries for a number of reasons, but punitive taxation is one, and it especially targets the middle and upper classes. Immigration is a second factor, for reasons that Jason Richwine got fired for noticing, and being rash enougth to commit to print.

And the high percentage of them who marry and mate with their first cousins. But it would be wrong to say that.

I think that IQs started to fall a few thousand years ago. The only reason we perhaps have a higher level of technology has only to do with the fact that ‘we are standing on the shoulders of those who came before us’.

I wonder how a nation's collective IQ can plummet like that.

I bet the IQ drop has a DIRECT link to migration from those from out of the continent.More likely a drop in IQ is why they let those migrants in.
The migrants are probably the smart ones.
