How are they making my life miserable?

Well I don't know that is true for you as you might be rich but for me the mega rich have influenced world government policies that have directly made my life worse including:
Ensuring we didn't invest in green energies enough and haven over reliance on gas and oil which has meant my utility costs have gone through the roof and have contributed to climate change.
Have constantly put profit before environment, meaning of rivers are full of shit so my kids can't swim in them the way I did as a child.
Pushed down the unions and pushed through Brexit to make sure that workers weren't paid enough, especially before the minimum wage when I used to be a £1.25 an hour in the 90s. Brexit has also fucked up my dds plans to work in Germany and mine to retire in Europe.
Ensured that big business wins over social enterprises other more community-minded inclusive growth.
Help create an environment in which houses became a commodity, meaning that all the new flats and housing in my city is being bought up by people that either don't live in the city or in the country just to make a profit rather than to make homes.
Elon Musks interference in the US election has resulted in Trump being elected which in turn will result in tarrifs and a slump in the world economy which is going to affect the poor for the most (obviously the yachts owners have made a packet on all this already because they have the capital to play on the markets which most of us don't).
Also influenced the media so we are swamped by right wing press ensuring we have decades of Tory (and now a right wing labour party and then probably reform rule) who have made the UK a far worse place to live in.
I'm sure there are lots more but I have to go back to my relatively poorly paid job 😁

I'm just going to repeat that the people coming are mainly men. MEN. Where are the women and children?

Women often have children with them so aren’t housed in hotels usually but emergency housing

children on their own are taken into local authority care

Why do more men come ?

men are at more risk - likely to be forced to fight or executed

the journey refugees make is very dangerous- trafficked by criminals, often made to work, abused and raped along the way (true of many male and female children I work with) - so generally it’s safe to send your son than your daughter

I mean if you really think about I’m not sure why you would be surprised

Yes this is true.
Also the UK’s Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse (CSA Centre) reports that the majority of child sexual abuse is carried out by someone in the child’s family or trusted network, such as a parent, step‑parent, sibling, relative, family friend, neighbour, or someone in a position of trust (teacher, youth worker, etc.).

Only a small minority of cases involve a complete stranger.

Yes, this is absolutely true, and it is terrible.

But, as in the news this week, and not too far away from where me and my family live, an 'asylum seeker' has now been charged with three counts of sexual assault against schoolgirls in the eight days he has been in the UK (via small boat, I may add). And he denies any wrongdoing! These are the kinds of backwards people I am talking about.

I'm just going to repeat that the people coming are mainly men. MEN. Where are the women and children?

Finally, whatever you do, please do not forget the worst stain in modern British history - the grooming child rape gang scandal.

Places were women & girls are treated awfully.. and like pieces of meat. The UK then ? Why we have this narrative that sex crimes against Women & Girls, are mostly perpetrated by men who travelled here by boat, is beyond me.
The biggest threat to you and your daughters are White British Men.

Get your precious "AI" to translate it. Or just find the versions Reform are running. Or just browse a few MN threads.

Yes, they are. I've gone from living in a lovely safe town to having groups of foreign men from places where woman and girls are treated terribly just hanging around, making me and others - for the first time in my life - feel unsafe. I have young daughters, and I fear for them as they grow up surrounded by men who view them as nothing more than meat. You'll note I say 'men', because I have never seen a woman or child.

How is this setup so easily accepted? It is perfectly normal for me to wish to oppose this.

There was a really interesting documentary on a few months back, about how the Nazis stirred up the hatred of Jews. The language that was used, the dehumanisation, the way they were blamed for the issues with the German Economy, the chipping away of rights. We look at what the Nazis did, and the millions killed via Industrialised murder, and kid ourselves it couldn’t happen again. Yet, the same language and rhetoric is being used now.. I wish I was more shocked than I am.

Yup

Because native people feel hopeless. Nobody of any power listens, and they see migrants being put ahead of them, their culture being poo-pooed, and family and friends not being looked after. There's is a European wide crisis.

I always think it's good when people show exactly who they are especially when they've done it in written format.

They think they are being clever and there's no going back from it. It let's people know exactly who they are dealing with

Absolutely.

@morefamiliar Perhaps they're emboldened by the growth of Reform. Feels like something really dark is brewing.

Yep. The Nazis, and many before and since, started by telling people how broken their society is, stirred people up, then encouraged them to blame other people, usually the weak or outsiders. Cue exclusion, persecution and killing.

I honestly want to scream at potential Reform voters to wake up and understand this very simple lesson from history.

Unless Farage tacks further to the centre, leaving vile individuals like Lee Anderson and co. behind, it will happen here. I just hope Farage has the sense and moral intelligence to do this, unlike some of his fellow Reform MPs.

Edited

Farage having sense or morals is wishful thinking sadly. Him and his ilk have sadly made people think it’s ok to spout racist crap all over the place. Ignorant people blaming the wrong group for their sad lives.

The boat migrant men should all be securely detained in detention centres, until we can return the bulk of them. They've broke into the country and should not be living it up in hotels or free to roam the streets. These hotels are near schools or in city centres. Its insane.

But yeah there's no need to say what he said. Totally unacceptable.

Edited

No one is “living it up”. Educate yourself FFS.

DrCoconut · 15/07/2025 23:59

And this is why I believe the death penalty must never ever be reintroduced. It's such a slippery slope if we give the government the power to decide who deserves to die.

Time to read a book Moonmelodies and acquaint yourself with their purpose.

The books I have read all say the victims at Auschwitz were gassed in gas chambers using prussic acid, or executed by hanging or being shot, and then either cremated in ovens, or cremated in open pits.

Fair enough. It was silly of the school to do that. I wonder if it was her own idea, though.

Would you wonder the same if she was from any other culture?

What makes you wonder if the idea was hers?

Perhaps this is the point she was trying to make - that it's almost unbelievable a child would want to be proud of their British culture.

And it shouldn't be.

Serpentstooth · 15/07/2025 22:45

And dear dad wants others to pay for their racist day out! Scroungers! Stop begging chummy, you and your mates disapprove of it, remember.?
