To ask if you think the prime minister has a democratic duty to house asylum seekers in middle class areas

They were genuinely fleeing a war zone. Hence the difference.
(Not that it's stopped Syrians being hugely over-represented in sex crimes per the German stats, but still).

The plea from Ilana Gritzewsky to the UN was heartbreaking. No apology, pls look at me. Just so sad.

The Green mayor with the October 7th stunt was also ridiculously cruel.

I just think of poor Shani Louk, her broken body paraded on that truck by those animals.
Or those women with bloodied joggers.

What a vile human being.

I’d love to know what goes through some people’s heads. I really would.

Poland is being threatened by the EU on a regular basis and told to take their assigned quotas of migrants. We give you all this money and you’re not complying type narrative. The Polish politicians stand firm and refuse to comply , the country’s national safety and border safety interest takes priority over EU tantrums. All you need is some backbone from the people in charge rather than „oh it’s a bit tricky because the law says…”

Of course, the girls and women were lying. Those who survived, that is.

There are no words

@Bikenutz then so be it

As you say, it's our kids and grandkids who are going to suffer the most.

Yes, let’s ban everyone we don’t agree with 🙄

But the ‘right’ are the fascists???

I will sign

Who knows? It's well above all our pay grades. Shifty shit is going on though and none of us are escaping.

He used to be one of their columnists; I'm not sure if he still is. I know his first reaction to the Oct 7 cinema video was that he saw no evidence of rape.

It is worth a try at this rate. Eva is doing a European tour. She’s been banned from entering the Uk.

Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek was effectively banned from entering the UK in January 2026 after the British Home Office revoked her Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

Crazy isn’t it. She’s banned.

Please sign.

I know the Guardian is fairly left wing. i’m guessing he is too then?

Yes!

Just mentioned those four countries in my post.

Easy to say, but difficult to implement. There are quotas for some of the settlement schemes but introducing a limit for asylum claims would require major legal changes and conflict with the UK’s international obligations.

The likes of Owen Jones and the Guardian.

I have heard about this but sadly I think it will just be ignored by the powers that be.

There seems to be no political will to sort this out.

The only two leaders I have seen step up recently (I know Hungary and Poland never let it get to that stage in the first place) are Giorgia Meloni and Mette Frederiksen.

Edited to say: leaders currently IN CHARGE

I know there are politicians both in the UK and elsewhere who’d like a go at sorting thus.

You remember how those middle classes wanted to 'rub our noses' in it? Well, fair is fair, now is the time for their noses to be rubbed. We are all in it together, innit?

I was responding to this comment because it linked to a comment that the only reason this particular base was chosen, was the spite of AB in choosing a Conservative council area.

This base was first suggested by the Conservative government and not connected to AB wanting to be spiteful….

Please, anyone who has concerns, all though you’re not technically part of the EU, you are European.

Please sign the save Europe act. It has been rejected but the stronger the voice the better.

The number of migrants arriving fell by a third in 2023. And in early 2024, the Irish Governmenr reported that migrant were moving from Nothern Ireland to the Republic of Ireland. So it was proven to work. Until Starmer promptly cancelled it 🙄

I agree that the tide has turned, we’ve had a few threads now with common sense prevailing and people openly saying they have had enough. It’s positive that the threads are no longer deleted after a single report and the accusation of racism. I still don’t think it is quite safe for people to express these concerns in real life, sadly.
I can also see more and more people online and in real life no longer bothered when the word „racist” is thrown around because it has become a joke.
we’ve spent too many years being unable to discuss valid concerns because of the political environment. It’s good to see it changing. It’s good to see European politicians pushing back too (Denmark, Poland, Italy, Hungary) .

What is wrong with people 🤬🤬🤬🤬
