GB News Criticized for Extensive Focus on Muslims Amid Controversy Over Reporting

I have a hard time understanding the stance of the British right leaning journalists working for GB News, unless they are promoting a pro Farage agenda.

 

Brexit has caused a surge in the immigration of Muslims who have replaced Eastern European as a major source of cheap labor in the UK. This is something that happened with the Tories firmly in government, benefitting of an overwhelming majority in the House, and has nothing to do with Labor (which is certainly not improving the state of affairs anyway).

 

In 2023 these were the top 5 nationalities of immigrants in the UK: Indian (250,000), Nigerian (141,000), Chinese (90,000), Pakistani (83,000), Zimbabwean (36,000). 

In total, approximately 1.03 million people from outside the European Union migrated to the UK in the year ending December 2023. This compares with 126,000 people from European Union countries, and 61,000 British nationals.

 

In 2016, the year Britain voted for Brexit, the total number of people moving to the UK was made up of 264,000 non-EU citizens, 250,000 EU citizens and 74,000 British citizens.

Not only immigration was lower and comparatively under control, but the ratio was by far more in favor of immigrants having an European cultural background.

 

Bottom line: Britons have been screwed by Brexit. It's time to face reality, learn the bitter lesson and move on. This is the British way. Keep on moaning is utterly un-British.

 

Moaning and blaming others seems to be the Brexiteers's way.

 

Since UK left, they cannot go on whining as much as before about the EU and plumbers from Poland, so now they are mainly whining about Muslims.

   There have been remarks about Pakistani family marriages even before Brexit , even from within the NHS they remarked on all the deformed Children from family marriages

In 2022-23 1,218,000 new foreigners were allowed in. Of that number 499,500 signed on to universal credit. That is 41%.

 

    51 % of British families receive Universal credit , so immigrants receive less than British families do

Got a reliable link for that? Seems dubious.

End of 2023, there were approximately 28,441,000 households in the UK. 5,400,000 households were on Universal credit. So it would be nearly impossible for 51% of British families to be on Universal credit, unless there where more immigrant families than British people (and what is a 'British' family?) 

 

As to be expected, this thread is full of disinformation.

   Ah, it was 51 % of UK Families receive some kind of financial state support , rather than just U.C

They are British though.

I recall back in the good old days of ISIS that they called for (I think, could be wrong) Hajj which I understood to be an invasion into infidel territory.

Seems to have worked.
