By which I mean, would most voters support this as opposed to a change in policy to refuse in greater numbers? I honestly can't tell what "the majority" actually wants. I would prefer fewer having seen how things went in Germany thanks to the Merkel wave but I am willing to believe I'm a backwards old boomer and a majority would be more welcoming.

They (UK governments) tend to say they have no choice due to the echr but this isn't true. There are a lot of operational choices they could make (eg sometimes when people are denied entry at the border they are actually allowed into the country for a few days and instructed to report back to the airport when it's time for the removal flight).

Why do people defend Palestine if they kidnapped innocent Israelis?

It's fashionable with the Left.

Other countries don't innovate the way we do in the west. They also fail to maintain infrastructure and rely on slavery

One does... Israel.

True. Perhaps israel will provide them with what they need then.

If they are fleeing for their lives why don't they just stay in the first safe country they get to then rather than hanging around the ports in France?

I have seen them at Caen trying to get on the ferry by hanging underneath a caravan that was waiting to board the boat. The gendarmes hauled one we saw away but there were hundreds on the roundabouts near the terminal.

If they were really running for their lives they wouldn't keep hopping from one country to another.
I thought the Government had stopped them being able to bring families over once accepted.

My sarcasm was obviously more subtle than I thought.

What an absolute cunt that woman is. And all who sail in her.

I know, utterly vile. I actually gasped when I read the headline.
Then the faux ignorance too, like there aren't 364 other days of the year to choose as her deadline. 🤬
I can't say what I actually think or I'll get banned. They walk among us, and have the fucking brass neck to label others as racist.

The men who are "fleeing for their lives" leave the women and children behind because the journey is apparently more dangerous than staying where you are.

Once we're gone so will the free stuff they like so much. They'll slide back to the dark ages and bemoan our disappearance.

Other countries don't innovate the way we do in the west. They also fail to maintain infrastructure and rely on slavery. Fun times ahead, but at least we won't be here to witness it.

I’m still hopeful that all is not yet lost. There’s been a few happenings recently which have shocked a lot of people out of their blinkered daze, Henry Novak’s murder is one, and the whole Jason Arday fiasco. And it’s becoming harder and harder for people to maintain the level of cognitive dissonance required to accept that what is happening is good or unavoidable or natural.

There was a fire today at the Holiday Inn in Wembley, which houses asylum seekers. Quite accidental, I’m sure, but guests there have been complaining about the food, and that it’s been two years and they have not been given a house.

Perhaps they can go home then if they don’t like it here

suburburban · 14/08/2026 19:03

Very true

Because they hate us. They also hate Christianity, which is why the uk is no longer Christian. Islam is designed to displace and dominate. Look at how many former Christian countries are now islamic. It's not merely another fluffy quaint religion. All the people cheering on the demise of our Christian nation are in for a shock.

You can’t see who has liked a post anymore on X but I’d bet my house those likes won’t all be Muslims.

So many white people have bought into the idea that we need to be punished for our ancestors misdeeds. They accept this with no critical thought whatsoever, no questions about why other races don’t need to be punished for their ancestors invasions and slave-owning. And then simultaneously pretend everything is going to be fine when whites are a small minority. These people need to start engaging their brains and wake up.

Current post on X saying 1750 mosques in England is karma for England invading 25% of the world.

187K likes and rising.

So these 187K people believe it’s a bad thing for the English and see it as just punishment of the English for the Empire (karma).

I think posts like the one I’ve posted above are interesting because they are the mask slipping of the pretence that the driving force behind enabling such extreme levels of immigration and ethnic change is a belief in equality/racial harmony/diversity-is-our-strength/multiculturalism-is-wonderful and reveal the deep hatred underneath the mask.

They always complain about the food.

There is, and for a long time has been a "bigger picture" and an end game to this. I reckon it all began with this man, Peter Sutherland who is since deceased. Read the article and it might make what is happening a bit clearer. Look at the date too. Sutherland not only was the UN chief of Migration, he was also a leader of the WEF and met like minded folk at Davos a lot. I am convinced anyway that it all led from this. It's the economy stupid, well for a certain cohort anyway. What do you think?

Yes. They murdered all three and returned them in coffins after a horrible, mocking, macabre "handing over ceremony".

Not all of it, but Wembley Park where the hotel is, is quite expensive due to the proximity to the stadium.

Makes you wonder how much that costs then
