Criminals were entering the UK through the EU open borders policy, committing various serious crimes and disappearing back to their countries of origin. Many out of reach of the British authorities, or it's costing a fortune to pursue them. Furthermore, they have uncovered, (after ignoring for years under Keir Starmer), the current leader of the Labour Party a dark culture of Pakistani grooming gangs, mainly taxi drivers, raping vulnerable young white girls between the ages of 11–15 years old. Successive governments KNEW this was going on. This is not one or two cases, there are hundreds and hundreds of these cases. It was swept under the carpet because it didn't fit the narrative that multiculturalism was working. They are finally being jailed. So called multiculturalism doesn't work in Europe and the UK, hence what we are seeing now. These migrants know Europe doesn't have the resources to detain and hold them, let alone prosecute them. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/quilliam-grooming-gangs-report-asian-abuse-rotherham-rochdale-newcastle-a8101941.html https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65174096 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, the part of my post you quoted regarding not having the luxury of having overseas territories to send migrants to, we don't. Hence, the Rwanda option, which will never happen due to too many ' woke ' and liberal people. The second part you outlined about my reference to European interference, well it is coming in the form of the constant appeals to the European court of human rights. OR Were you referring to where Australia sends its migrants? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_immigration_detention_facilities https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/law/strasbourgs-rwanda-ruling-divides-public-law-specialists/5112795.article Edited February 19 by Scouse123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the media environment in every country throughout the world where there are large populations of Muslims has a bias towards Muslims, even in India which the western NGOs love to attack as being undemocratic. How is it that there are so few to no journalists working for mainstream media who have any sort of understanding about what the normal person on the street thinks, or is it simply that the mainstream media is actually left-leaning? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK shop lifting ( committed by immigrants ) is got to such a high level that the police do not bother to attend the crime . Shop assistants are often abused . In the UK Midlands there are gangs of immigrants , who groom young vulnerable girls , for their illegal sexual pleasures . These criminals should be deported . Low skilled genuine asylum seekers should be unable to claim government benefits for a set period but employed to do basic local council manual work or work on farms e.g. fruit / vegetable pickers , to earn their keep , on a probationary period . Non performers / trouble makers to be deported . Free loaders go out of their way to get to the UK because its a soft touch with too many do- gooders. Why does the UK still belong to the European Court of Human Rights ( ECHR ) ? Despite Brexit the UK is still under the EC rule . Time to ignore it . Those illegals , who cross the English Channel in rubber dinghies should be taken on board UK navy boats and returned to France along with their , beyond repair , dissected dinghy . In certain UK cities there are " no go zones " that are rife in crime . Last night there was an interview on GB news with Matt Goodwin who is a professor of politics at Kent university . He condemns mass immigration because of the effects and implications that it has on a countries economy and culture . He is to chair a seminar on immigration in the near future that is open to the public by way of tickets . You can Google Matt Goodwin and watch a brief interview . He tells it as it is and no punches held back . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oustaristocrats Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 23 hours ago, Social Media said: The streets of The Hague, Netherlands, descended into chaos last night as violent riots broke out, with migrants hurling bricks, torching cars, and clashing with riot police. The unrest centered around the Opera conference hall along Fruitweg, where scenes of mayhem unfolded as police struggled to maintain order. Videos circulating on social media captured the intensity of the clashes, with rioters surrounding the Opera hall, smashing windows, and setting vehicles ablaze. The aftermath left the area resembling a warzone, with shards of glass littering the streets and thick smoke billowing into the air from tear gas canisters. Dressed in hooded jackets and with faces covered, the youths engaged in confrontations with police, pelting their vehicles with projectiles and obstructing their efforts to contain the situation. Riot officers, clad in protective gear, worked to barricade the entrance to the building and extinguish fires that had broken out inside. Journalist Owen O'Brien shared footage of the chaos, describing the extensive damage inflicted upon the Opera hall during the violent riots. The mayor of The Hague, Jan van Zanen, authorized the use of tear gas by police and issued an emergency order for the affected area to restore public order. The clashes were reportedly sparked by a confrontation between two groups of Eritreans, resulting in fights and stone-throwing incidents. Police units, including riot police, were deployed to quell the unrest, with emergency services responding to extinguish fires and assess any injuries. This incident is not isolated, as similar outbreaks of violence have occurred at Eritrean events across Europe in recent months. In Germany, clashes during Eritrean cultural festivals have led to injuries among both participants and law enforcement officers. Tensions among members of the Eritrean diaspora, exacerbated by political divisions and opposition to the Eritrean government, have contributed to the escalation of violence in these gatherings. The underlying issues driving these conflicts underscore the challenges faced by migrants fleeing repressive regimes, such as Eritrea, and seeking refuge in Europe. As authorities work to restore calm and investigate the causes of the unrest, the need for dialogue and resolution of deep-seated grievances within migrant communities remains paramount. 18.02.24 Source Send them back on the first plane, sorry, into the first boat, available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herfiehandbag Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 1 hour ago, superal said: Mass immigration , both legal and illegal throughout Europe has caused many problems for countries economies , housing , health care and education etc . 1.2 million legal and 50,000 illegal immigrants arrived in the UK in 2023 . Legals are often approved because of family connections and student claims . Most bring , at best , a low skill level . The UK lost over 500,000 emigrant citizens to other countries who mostly use a points system to qualify for legal immigration . This equates as a UK brain drain . Now I hear that the UK is to allow foreign dentists to come to the UK without having to take UK dentistry exams . The mass immigration does not work and most Europeans that I talk to all agree that their countries living standards have the same problems as the UK and have reached an all time low , along with their loss of culture and an increased crime rate because of mass immigration . Governments perhaps see this through a different lens. A declining birthrate and ageing population are a major problem for western societies. Especially with that ageing population becoming increasingly dependent upon social spending. It is virtually politically impossible to make meaningful reductions to that level of social spending. The only real option ( short of large scale tax increases - political suicide) is to increase your population. "Breeding your own" (cynical but accurate description) takes far too long. The solution is to import people, thus increasing the "tax base". Business (which is very influential) likes this, it is a source of cheap labour, basically untainted (as they see it) by associated with organised labour. Certain political groups also approve it - if they consider immigrants more likely to vote for them; although that may be a double edged weapon! Public opinion is often opposed, but to be honest that only matters depending upon where the country is in its election cycle - the UK is in election year so the subject is exercising political minds. They note that the Netherlands ignored it and their political establishment came unstuck last year - not that so far, does that seem to be reflected in a change of government! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These people come to Europe and are amazed how easy it is to defy authorities and get away with it. In their own countries they daren't, they would get hammered. There is not one European country that is not regretting allowing unfettered access to Europe, and this is why the EU is having to revise all its policies on Migrants. Too little, too late IMO. Should have stopped it at the start, but it's never too late to try and correct mistakes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AI robotics means that less people will be needed than at present, so all the immigrants now will become just more on the dole. I'd say within 10 years all the current immigrants will be unemployed and unemployable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just read your posts and I have posted the same sentiments before reading yours . The UK and most of Europe are in a right mess because of non European immigration . The biggest problem when putting forward opinions on anti immigration is the do -gooders often accuse us of being racist . Yet that is the very case with many immigrants unwilling to integrate but instead form their own communities . Inter racial violence is not uncommon and is sometimes started by immigrants who think they can do as they please , disregarding the laws . I have time for genuine asylum seekers such as most from the Ukraine but spongers and criminals , deport them . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegum Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 So the far right is off again with immigrant bashing without knowing a single fact about this story. I educate you: The immigrants from Eritrea are forced by their embassy to pay tax to the illegal Eritrea government using strong arm (loan-shark) methods. I would be upset as well, although I would not hit the street and cause chaos. I leave that to the MAGA folks at the US capitol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an inverse relationship - the further they are away from it the more they espouse the benefits. I once moved from East London (UK) to Islington where all the Liberals live. I can't tell you how different it is. Also in Bankok i lived for 3 years in an apartment complex used as a holding tank by people smugglers.

Wrwest Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Sadly, these types of incidents will only win greater support for the authoritarian right wing parties. Certainly, there is cause to aggressively address the issue but I fear the emotional, gut based reaction motivating a majority to forswear reason in a knee jerk move to authoritarian government model. This is the basis for my thinking that the Chinese government model is far too attractive ... we give you peace and economic security ... we do not tolerate any discord with our ruling.
