In recent years, the United Kingdom has experienced a surge in immigration, posing significant challenges to its social cohesion and infrastructure. Despite a long history of successful integration, the uncontrolled influx of migrants has strained resources and exacerbated social tensions. As the country grapples with the implications of mass migration, it faces critical decisions on immigration policy and societal cohesion.

 

The UK's tradition of openness to immigrants dates back centuries, rooted in principles of religious tolerance, individualism, and the rule of law. Over time, this openness has contributed to a diverse and inclusive society, with immigrants making significant contributions to various fields, including politics, business, and culture. However, the unchecked flow of migrants in recent years has overwhelmed the country's infrastructure and resources, leading to congestion, healthcare shortages, and a housing crisis.

 

Moreover, the government's failure to address issues such as Islamist extremism and the spread of woke critical race theory has further strained social cohesion. The rise of extremism and anti-Semitism threatens to undermine the principles of integration and inclusion that have long defined British society. 

 

To address these challenges, the UK must adopt a more discerning approach to immigration, prioritizing skilled migrants who can contribute positively to society. Additionally, efforts must be made to tackle extremism and promote moderate voices within immigrant communities. By taking proactive measures to manage immigration and address social tensions, the UK can preserve its legacy of openness and diversity while safeguarding its social fabric for future generations.

The same is happening all over Europe. 

 

The UK Government have full control of UK Borders.

 

Who are they and their supporters going to blame for the Government’s abject failure on immigration?

The Far Right / Alt Right = old, white, straight, heterosexual, cisgender men...and now Jews (again). 

 

This is the post-modern, post-structural narrative that now defines who is good and who is evil.

They'll blame who they're told to blame. They blamed the EU when the government told them to, now they'll blame the ECHR.

 

Never mind the fact that the way asylum seekers are handled is mandated under our UN obligations... That's not how scapegoating works.

 

I wouldn't worry too much; by the time the election in finally called, the government's supporters will be nothing other than a statistical insignificance, anyway.

Hardly a new thing. That ghostly laughter is probably Enoch's from his grave.

None of which would be necessary had Britain had a bit of common sense in the past 50 or 60 years.

Sharia law will soon end all Britain's problems.

Islam is a religion of peace! 

Immigration is great......when the immigrants assimilate into the culture of the hosting nation and start to share the ethnicity.

Sadly, too many Muslims, Afghans, East Europeans, Pakistanis and Africans don't come to Britain to assimilate....they come to stay totally separate from the host nation, not even learning the language. They come determined to maintain their own way of living and ethnicity and demand that the host nation change its laws to accommodate them.

I'm sure there is no one of my age who was living in Britain at the time, who doesn't remember the howls of protest and demands for special privileges from the Sikh community when Britain introduced the helmet law. Sorry, don't come to a host nation and demand they change the laws for you. This is an example of the deeper issue of non-integration of certain groups. 

Europe is flooded with 'victims' at the moment all seeking special treatment (privilege) for their group. My attitude is that by all means come to Britain but integrate and learn the language. No illegals arriving on boats thank you. No fake asylum seekers. No benefits until you have had a job and paid in for two years. I would add, no single men/. Any single  male fleeing a war, should be sent back to fight for his country.

I'm assuming you speak fluent Thai and are completely assimilated into Thai culture? 🤣

Choice is a good thing, chose your court, if accused of domestic violence chose sharia, if accused of theft chose HM court of law and keep your right hand. You know it makes sense.

HMG, along with other Western democracies, as a first step, need to tighten free speech laws, Social Media platforms which are being manipulated for extremist messaging such as far right, Islamist etc. As an example, Eva_Vlaardingerbroek, posted above who espouses conspiracy hate speech, as an example such as "Great Replacement, an ideology which has incited some to mass murder innocent Muslims and leftists in Western democracies and lesser crimes. Islamist preachers to be deported (held on remand during proceedings)as happens in France. Stricker evaluation of asylum seeker application with relevant funding for additional resources and speed up government to government negotiation for deporting rejected persons to their home country. All non citizens who have been convicted to prison, e.g. one year, to be deported after completion of sentence  with no appeal.

Sounds good. All European Countries blow the same trumpet. And? Eaves of migrants are flowing in. 1 Million Ukrainians in Germany only. The channel actually is not a border at all.🙏

I blame the migration of westerners who told Africans how great they were.

There's a piece of you here and a piece of you over there

Britain has sleepwalked into a disaster and will be a muslim country under sharia law within 50 years. Best to get out now, if you can.

Spelling error.

England never really recovered from the unchecked migration of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes. It's been all downhill since they let that lot in

Who is they? Several British governments have failed but this goes back to post WW2 - you can start with the Germans for causing that. 

 

 

What a load of bigoted right wing drivel.

The OP managing to shoehorn "woke" into a pseudo serious piece was enough for me.

You'd get more objective discussion in a Weatherspews pub in UK.

Nah, this was just a fly trap for racists. Predictably it worked.

Well, except in the 1700's when UK citizens flooded the new British colonies in the New World (now America) seeking freedom of religion, rule of law, etc. and fought a rebellion against the UK for independence. And won.

They just did not have the gonads to say NO when they knew what was happening.

They say never too late but need to act NOW

Unfortunately you are right about It not being a new thing.

 

But you and Powell were wrong. Whites aren't subservient to blacks; the black man doesn't have 'the whip hand' as Powell predicted.

 

Instead, what we have in the UK is a society in which all people are equal in the eyes of the law, and where second and third generation, British born black men and women play their full part in society, be that as judges, MPs, bus drivers, bin men or whatever.

If you now agree with this statement, then it is a complete volte-face on your part: On the Ukraine thread, you are forever pleading with Ukraine to surrender.

Are you suggesting that individuals living in Thailand full-time under 'Non-O' status shouldn't be expected to integrate into Thai society, while immigrants to the UK should be expected to integrate into UK society?

Thinly disguised racist claptrap wrapped up in a conspiracy theory.

 

Too much there to pick apart piece by piece, but suffice to say that she clearly knows little about London as a city and even less about Brussels.
