Area gone to shit, feel forced to move 😪

Yes same in my area too, up north. im a home owner and grew up here used to be 100% british residents. homes were well kept people had pride in their surroundings back then. Great community spirt neighbours would sit out and chat together during the summer.
Now its an absolute disgrace. have to weave through abandoned wheelie bins and fly tipped rubbish on every street. windows with a dirty sheets draped up instead of curtains, overgrown unkempt gardens. HMOs is such a shame to see the decline of our once lovely area. Each neighbour now speaks a different language so the community spirt has now gone.

The taxpayer is now spending tens of billions of pounds every year ensuring they have food, accommodation etc

For all 11 million? None of them work? Link please.

But our overall population has also grown from the 58 million it was 30 years ago. You cannot blame it all on immigration.

And let's be honest for a second. People on here are only objecting to black and brown migrants. No one cares if migrants come from Australia or other "white" countries.

The double standards are sickening.

The far left won’t like you making this obvious point.

You never see these bleeding heart types running towards areas where there are large immigrant populations wanting live there. In fact they can’t get out of there fast enough. But everyone else must put up with it.

Litter everywhere, chicken shops on every corner, unkempt houses, bad parking, cars stopping in the middle of the road to have full blown social gatherings while everyone else queues behind, high insurance fraud borne out by premium stats, overcrowding and households where women have never worked.

Not to mention the bigger social and public health disasters such as cousin marriages, FGM, forced marriages, higher rates of domestic abuse and sexual assault.

But saying all this makes you racist. Because apparently all this madness in the name of multiculturalism makes the country better.

Poverty doesn't cause men to spit red tobacco in the street while leering at women. And we've never been richer - people lived in far more poverty in ie the 1920s without there being the problems described by the OP

We don’t have that system.
It sounds quite hysterical to think we would have.
Then again, we have the far Left rooting out Jewish and Israeli sympathizers, and Islamists marching in our cities, so anything can happen.

The official figures are that about 11 million people in the UK are now foreign born. Unofficially it's even higher.

This is a massive increase from about 3 million 30 years ago and is totally unsustainable.

The taxpayer is now spending tens of billions of pounds every year ensuring they have food, accommodation etc. How do you think that's going to work out in the long run?

Nope, not all. But do I want to see people and children dragged from their beds and chucked into vans by ICE-style agents men and taken to detention centres where they will be denied access to lawyers like what's happening in the States? Or protesters trying to stop it happening being attacked by the same ICE-style agents?

Farage was asked this week if he planned to introduce the same system and he didn't deny it.

Probably wants open borders. All the far left types living in lala land do.

Do I support children being rounded up and thrown into detention cells? No.

Do you actually know how many illegal migrants arrived in the UK in 2025 via small boats – now the only feasible route into the country for the undocumented? 41,472.

That's out of a population of 69.9 million.

Meanwhile, the number of legal long-term migrants coming to the UK dropped from 1.299 to 898,000.

Out of a population of 69.9 million.

Overall, 10.7 million people living in UK were not born here.

Out of a population of 69.9 million.

We are not being overrun by migrants, illegal or otherwise, whatever the right wing would have you believe.

You don’t support the removal of illegal immigrants?

So many threads like this, a few variations on the theme, and all in the week leading up to a by-election which Reform are hoping to win. I wonder what the link might be? 🤔
