Daily mail article, integration has failed in Germany. Aibu to agree with article?

Happier times it sounds like you want open boarders and free movement every where

Post of the day. This sums up the problem beautifully.

Extremes on either side are not good but the majority of people are centrist.

Calling out racism and discrimination is not far left.

I didn't say that I lived in an area with only "enriching" immigrants. I was merely asking for clarification of who you mean when you say "they".

FWIW, I live in an area with a high number of asylum seekers. I'm guessing that they probably come into the "not enriching category according to your classification. That's not how I see them though...

I didn't say you or any other individual is responsible. I made the point that the impact of colonisation is still being felt today in the countries that were colonised. It makes sense that those people want to move to places where their rights can be met.
I don't see that I have any more right to this country than they do just because I was born here. I haven't done anything to deserve it, it's sheer luck. I just wish people were honest in acknowledging that.

People should read all types of media across the political spectrum. If they don’t they all end up in their own left or right wing echo chambers.

💯

Oh. Usually a thread gets holey before it goes kaput. But if no posts cross the line how can the thread

And as much as many claim they do not read the DM it is a major bit of media in the UK. Mn taking down any threads linking to seems strange

I have a foot in both camps my Mum was white and my Dad was from a commonwealth country and arrived as a documented economic migrant in the 1960’s.

The issue is both the far right and left. Now whilst the far right have had a riot and that is obviously bad the far left due to white guilt are really not helping the situation because every single time anyone shows any kind of concern they get shouted down as racist. It’s an actual problem.

The extreme left by shouting people down who have legitimate concerns have actually fuelled the rise of the far right. As unpalatable as that is it is most definitely an unintended consequence.

Where did I say it was ok please? You've misquoted me. The OP provided this list as evidence that she personally wouldn't be able to practice her religion in many countries. It didn't support what she was saying at all. She has yet to provide evidence for her statement - apparently we should just google, although she herself hasn't been able to. She hasn't even listed one country that she is specifically referring to, let alone 'many'. There absolutely are countries that specifically don't allow the public practice of Christianity (Saudi for example) but I don't agree that there are 'many' or that it's actually a reason that we should be more restrictive over our own immigration practices.

Of course it's not ok to persecute someone because of their religion or (to be clear) at all. However, OP was saying that immigration has to be both ways, and because other countries don't accept Christianity the UK shouldn't accept other religions. I think regardless of what side of the immigration debate you sit, the idea that the UK should model its practices on how Christians are treated in the countries you describe

Nigeria isn't an Islamic country btw. It's secular and around half of the population are Christian. That doesn't mean there isn't persecution of Christians in the North in particular, but to describe the country with the largest Christian population in Africa (and one of the largest Christian populations in the world) as 'Islamic' is bizarre.

Agreeing with the overall decline which drug you was mentioned as part of that. My original point still stands so that you are suggesting a failing education system, drug use, homelessness are all due to failed integration in Germany

Yes, I have been following it.

Apparently is so out of hand that they can’t report all of them so are calling for it to be deleted. 😂

Labels and boxes! If I say I am opposed to mass immigration and the building of more prisons does that make me far right? Trouble is, I'd also like to see less financial hardship. more council house building and reprivatisation of essential services. Bit woolly socialist that---plus I eat lentils. Some of us have not lost the ability to think for ourselves and we don't fit into the boxes

Maybe people can report any specific posts they think go against the guidelines instead

Thread’s pretty fast so haven’t looked to see deletions

Oh aren’t you clever. Did you even read the other thread? Just hypocrites like the poster I was replying to stated before you decide to repeat more of the same.

Ffs you still don't get it. You agreed with the poster that did say drug use, I have spelt it out enough times. You are either being deliberately obtuse or thick I don't know which it is and at this stage don't care.

Immigrant doctors etc DO enrich the country.

Currently there appears to be a lot who are not in those valued professions and drag the country down. The opposite of earlier generation migrants.

Which part of the UK are you that only has the new enriching migrants?

You haven't answered this, OP, and I would like to know.

Haven't seen much evidence on here of hard left. Unless you put objecting to racism and bigotry in that box?

But yes, will be interesting to see how much far right nonsense MN is willing to tolerate.
