“We need to stop importing people who hate us”

Overheard an older couple of Caribbean couple talking about the Manchester attack on the train earlier and one of
them used this phrase.

Someone else (who was getting off at the time) shouted at them “You can’t say that! It’s hate speech!”

I didn’t get involved.

Was it hate speech?

Well I certainly wouldn’t be fighting to preserve Charlie boy and his bunch of inbreds!

I think we should all ( including and maybe especially The Monarch) should be swearing allegiance to the country. Instead of 'inviting' everyone to swear allegiance to him during his coronation KC should have sworn allegiance to us.

What do you think is worth defending?

If you want the benefits of a nation state you should be willing to be loyal to it - what you won’t fight for you don’t get to keep.

You might not fight for the Royals, but if Nazism abroad was on the rise would you fight against that? And if so, what exactly would you think you were fighting to preserve?

Thank you for the confirmation.

So, you think your family shouldn't be here?

How do you get that from what she said?

They’ll be glad to hear from you. Given you think terrorism is such an easy problem to solve. Governments around the world will be queuing up for your advice.

To add, it was you who brought in the mi5 and terrorism stuff. I was writing about the initial point of the post as in people who hate this country. I didn’t mention terrorism as not everyone who hates this country is a terrorist. So you’ve jumped on my post and decided to introduce a separate issue and then done so in a really ungracious, mocking way. Anyway, in terms of who hates this country, I do think people’s posts and allegiances say a lot. I don’t think that’s to be conflated with mi5 and I also don’t think my post was something so open for your mockery. That’s all I’ll say to you.

I really don’t know know what u r trying to achieve. You are calling me all sorts of names. You’re a strange one, probably with an axe to grind but unsure how to use the grinder.

im truly frightened what is happening in this country in the future, and it doesn’t help when people like you haven’t actually got a grasp on anything, and just resort to name cslling

It's like you've used the "uno reverse" card. Good DARVO though 👏

RaininSummer · 04/10/2025 18:09

How can it be hate speech? No particular race or nationality was named and it's an obvious statement of common sense surely.

UsernameMcUsername · 04/10/2025 18:06

I'm an immigrant & I don't think they said anything wrong. While I wouldn't have phrased it like that, I'd broadly agree. It's so exhausting watching things get worse for immigrants generally because of a small minority enmeshed in cultures with completely different values. We're heading for a Reform government and endless hassle for millions of completely harmless immigrants because the Guardian is afraid to acknowledge that a bloke from Sudan doesn't have the same attitudes to women as a bloke from Norway. We're going to end up taking no asylum seekers at all because Progressives won't admit that the current asylum system rewards total chancers.

Stating your post was full of crass insults and hyperbole is not coming along and saying "you are stupid, thick, ignorant, racist ..." And whatever else you used. Hardly comparable Is it ?

Hey, I've got no skin in the game, but I do object to whole swathes of normal people with legitimate concerns on immigration being branded abhorrent names. In case you care to extend your virtue signalling to poorly educated people (they are also humans you know?Many of whom work very hard in jobs you and your white collar chums wouldn't want ) the way to describe their education status would be "poorly educated" : or is "thick" ok because they're not you're intended virtue signal receiver? Bet you're a lot more 'careful' how you speak then ?

And news flash : immigration isn't only a concern for the "stoopid," people.

I think this is very well said, and I agree with a lot of what you say. However let's not pretend that it's only men from ethnic minorities who abuse and subjugate women. White men abuse, batter and rape women and children too. It's often framed as though rape and domestic violence weren't an issue until people of colour arrived. A man could legally rape his wife in this country until the 90s.

Violence and the subjugation of women isn't acceptable in this country, but it is certainly wide spread and hidden. We criticise other countries, but at this point rape is pretty much legalised in this country with less than 5% of rapists being prosecuted.

Case in point - the awfully cringey interview with the Falkirk councillor who knew all about a rape in her town committed by an asylum seeker, but nothing about the two rapes committed by white Scottish men during the same time period in her town. Violence against women and girls is a global issue, and men of all colours and creeds are guilty of perpetuating it.

No one is saying rape and abuse commited by white guys is ok though, this is how the narrative is getting spinned. It is men in general that commit most of these crimes, however bringing more men that come from a country where it is more culturally/religiously accepted to abuse and subjugate women will of course make things worse, add to this that a lot of them come here illegally and there is no record of whether they have previous history of violence, it's the perfect storm. No one is saying they are ok with crimes where the perpetrators are white.

I don’t think it’s hate speech.

I think it’s fucking stupid though.
Firstly, we don’t import people. They aren’t goods.
Secondly, how could you possibly police that. Unless what you really mean is “we should stop letting Muslims in”. In which case, piss off.

That’s all well and good…

Except even when people show is that they hate Britain, we still let them stay. We absolutely can police these things after they’re brought to our attention.

Instead, we refuse to deport criminals and give them suspended sentences for violent crimes. Like the father of the synagogue terrors it who was spouting antiseptic views and advocating violence.

So….

How can you tell who hates the UK and who doesn't?
Most people hoping to move to the UK will want to make a good life here, and won't come here intending harm. So how can you differentiate?
Obviously people who are known to have anti-UK views can be vetoed. But everyone else?

You can’t but a good idea is which country they’re from. After waging war on Iraq for years, killing a million citizens, and destroying its cities and infrastructure, do you think they:

a) Love Britain
b) Hate Britain?

Since the thread is derailed anyway I don’t feel guilty derailing it further. The title reminds me of that clip of the American politician saying “We need to stop giving money to countries that hate us. They should be able to hate us for free.” Gives me a chuckle every time I see it. 😂

It’s not hard. I look at their allegiances through posts, words and their actions. If they literally talk rubbish about Britain then it is clear they hate Britain. You bring up “ALL Muslims?” That is something you have brought up, I never said that. I’m south Asian myself, Indian, and have experienced racism for decades. So I don’t discriminate against people for their faith and appearance. I do, however, distance myself from anyone with harmful beliefs towards a country (Britain) that has given them a home. There’s far too many assumptions in your post.

I understand that his father celebrated the October 7 attack. Which is suggestive, I would say.

Which was long after they arrived here. We have no idea how this kid, or this parents, felt 30 years ago.

Saying ‘stop importing people who hate us’ will get lots of claps but it won’t save a single life of change a single thing.

Yeah - let’s not do that! Right…. How?

Clearly worked on you. You’re claiming that I’m using crass ignorance and insults. Look in the mirror - I reiterate, it doesn’t matter where you are from, what YOU have achieved in life, there will always be haters.

Stating your post was full of crass insults and hyperbole is not coming along and saying "you are stupid, thick, ignorant, racist ..." And whatever else you used. Hardly comparable Is it ?

I think we need to be honest about a difficult reality…many parts of the world hold values and societal norms that are fundamentally incompatible with those of the UK. I would love to believe that every human being is inherently good, but that simply isn’t true. In far too many societies, practices like child marriage and the routine abuse of women are not just tolerated but normalised. These views are upheld, not by fringe extremists, but by ordinary people.

It is not acceptable for those attitudes to be imported here. We have fought too hard and come too far in terms of women’s rights to allow misogynistic norms to take root in our society. Men who have been socialised in environments where violence and subjugation of women are everyday realities should not be given free rein to bring those mindsets into this country.

I say this as a British Sikh woman. I am not islamaphobic nor am I seeking approval by appeasing anyone (as I am often accused of when I share my views online).

And quite frankly, I am tired of the middle class tendency to posture and virtue signal under the guise of compassion. This superficial moralism may make some people feel enlightened, but it does nothing to protect women.

Edited

This is so based! I find it remarkable that coming from a culture where my modern views would be frowned upon (Indian Hindu), there are women here in England telling me to shut up about issues (coming from my demographic) that would affect England.

So how do you process who ‘hates us’ and who doesn’t?

Unless you are some sort of bigoted xenophobe who thinks ALL Muslims hate us and that we shouldn’t allow any in

but no, I doubt you are that sort of ignorant hate filled dogmatic partisan
