Why is there so much more anti immigration sentiment NOW?

My Bangladeshi and Indian work colleagues mainly voted for Brexit and are against the large increase in immigration because they see how it can unsettle a country if it's not controlled.

People see the bad state of the NHS, lack of housing and don't want millions being spent to house and support illegal immigrants. And they want those who commit crimes to be deported.

But white British people can't express the views that my colleagues do without being shouted down on MN and left wing media as bigots and racists.

There needs to be a discussion or Britain will sadly move to the right like much of Eutope and the USA

They are NOT houses in 4 star hotels ffs.

It’s a complex issue. Multi faceted. But yes this could help with integration.

Is that your answer to the problems caused by mass immigration?

Maybe there should be compulsory English classes and culture lessons in these hotels then. Would be useful for the people taught and better than hanging around the streets with nothing to do

If the government are aware about the importance of integration why did they cut funding for English language classes.

It was true for that particular group of girls then. seeing as I was there and you were weren't I think I'd know. Unless of course you were in my class in 1983

Grooming gangs and attacks on women and girls primarily.

I think this nails it plus we keep seeing images of the rubber boats coming across the channel everyday and knowing they will be housed in 4* hotels.

It did not happen and that is obvious. “White honky” literally makes no sense as the latter is an offensive term for the former.

And the claim about somebody not being part of the “sistahood”. Nobody speaks like that. It’s clearly not true.

I think there have been a few cultural shifts.

1. Less integration. When my mother came here, she sought out friendship with British people, now it seems people stick more to associating with others from their own backgrounds.
2. More religious fundamentalism so that alarming sights, such as women being covered from head to foot in shapeless black fabric, are becoming commonplace.
3. Expressing discomfort with less integration or more fundamentalism is taboo. People are labelled racist if they voice it, so their unexpressed feelings are festering into resentment and anger.
4. Terrorism in the UK - homegrown extremists, rather than the IRA. People are scared.
5. Overstretched public services and the appearance of newcomers being prioritised in housing, for example, and it being difficult to get a dentist of GP appointment.

If bloody well did. Why do u think racism only works one way?

Maybe because queuing is a particular British trait. Not sure if happens so much anywhere else in the world lol

“Culturally normal” for whom? Be specific?

And why do you assume all non-white people are immigrants?

That did not happen.

It works the other way too. I was one of 2 white kids in my form group. Was colled white honky, ghost girl and told I. wasn't part of the sistahood

OP back in the 50s smaller more manageable numbers of immigrants came over which meant no pressure on services and I suppose less impact on existing communities and ultimately more assimilation and lesser racism?

Unfortunately when people feel their quality of life is being impacted they will react.

This isn't why for everyone involved I think smaller numbers of immigration should happen.

Because our services are at bursting point.

I'm often one of very few white people on the bus, and that's on a bus of around 40 other people. Everyone pushes their way onto the bus even if I'm at the front of the queue (it's culturally normal for them) and then on the bus a lot are all talking at the top of their voices or have their phones on loud.

I understand that people who may be coming here because of war, persecution or other horrid stuff in their home country, but we are too small an island with too little resources to cope. They need to stop at the first countries they come to for asylum. I also really resent my taxes being spent on hotel accommodation for asylum seekers.
