To think that Labour’s/Andy Burnham’s tariffs on Jewish Settlers and their statement on Palestine is a well timed publicity stunt to divert attention from their complete lack of inaction regarding illegal migrants arriving by boat.

Yup. I think he's marxist Labour royalty and absolutely a hypocrite to claim his Jewish ancestry is in anyway a mitigation for this, or other, anti Israel policies he's espoused.

Numbers on small boats are down significantly. Illegal settlements need to be sanctioned. Government can focus on more than one thing at a time.

We are paying the French Government £550 million to stop small boat crossings so I would hope they have gone down. In 2023 29,400 migrants crossed the channel, in 2024 that figure rose to 36,000 and in 2025 the figure rose yet again to 41,500.

There are less individual boat crossings but the boats have got larger with more people crammed onto the boats. In just 2 days this last week over 700 migrants crossed the channel. I'm not sure why Labour supporters think there is anything to celebrate.

Do you think that makes a difference to those who are anti-Semitic? Do you really think they'd leave him alone because he doesn't practice his faith publicly?

Labour has track record in antisemitism. This is no different.

As this was driven by Ed Miliband who is Jewish, do you think that is he an anti-semite or that other crass cliche, 'a self-hating Jew'?

Yes, I can think about more than one thing at once including what is happening in other countries.

Everything should be done to protect those kids too.

I want kids in your country to be safe.

I want kids in my country to be safe.

I want kids in every country to be safe.

I would have thought that was standard for everyone but if you are using whataboutery in relation to dead children, then maybe not.

No they work on culture, which can be interweaved with religion. Are you denying the evidence that Islamic extremism remains the biggest threat?

Is there a “most dangerous religion”?

would MI5 work from the principle that x religion is dangerous? Do you really think they categorise risk based on faith?

no particular religion is dangerous. Extremism and crimes committed in the name of any religion is dangerous.

Guess the most dangerous religion is news to MI5.

I can’t speak to why other posters didn’t engage with this post - the reason I didn’t reply was because it’s hard to engage in a good faith, facts based discussion starting from this kind of post. I absolutely don’t deny the poster’s concerns and anxieties about their own area, but the idea that undocumented young men are causing a universal, unmanageable surge in violent crime everywhere across the country just isn’t backed to by national crime data.

It’s also irrelevant really, to this discussion, because - even if we do accept those claims to be true - then they would be issues that the Home Office should be dealing with. A functioning, competent government should be able to deal with many issues at once, and domestic issues needing to be dealt with should not stop the Foreign Secretary from doing his job, which is to protect and speak up for British interests and British values through our foreign policy.

Which area is this?

most areas with high knife crime are inner cities. I’ve had a quick google and those places where it’s on the increase are those with high deprivation and poverty.

Nothing that fits with a “formerly lovely” area now being a high crime area.

As ot should be, those innocent children are being slaughtered.

but you think there's a bit too much focus on the violence levied against Palestinians?

Yep.

some Muslims commit crime- all Muslims are bad

some Jews commit crime- condemn them and you’re antisemitic.

Jewish people can do bad things, just as Muslims and Christians can.

in fact I believe the most dangerous religion at the moment is the rise of the fundamental Christians, and their use of religion to condemn anyone who doesn’t fall in line. The politics of the USA is increasingly influential in this country, and that poses more danger than people think.

Can I just say that I am so sick of the term "Violence Against Women and Girls". VAWG

It should be: "Violence By Men"

The former sounds like Violence is just something that happens to happen to females. But actually it MEN committing moat of that Violence.

Because when we talk about VAWG, we don't usually mean Violence by women against women.

It's Male Violence as a whole that is the problem. If we simply stopped Violence against women and gorls there would still be vast amounts of violent crime because men are still fucking committing it.

Not all men. Of course. But everyone is affected by male fucking Violence.

I know .. every local story on Facebook;

”new house” first comment “for boat people”
“New Doctors surgery” first comment “for boat people”
“New school” first comment “for boat people”
”Crime” first comment “for boat people”

It’s tedious nonesense.

..and “boat people” is a horrible term to use for Human Beings - dehumanises them.

Well we were being told we should attend protests with men the other day. If we don't, it's because we fear we are going to be attacked. Then we can't question illegal immigration without being called racist. It's as though as women, we are meant to get in line with other schools of thought.

Interesting that not a single poster has replied to your post.
I’m surprised someone hasn’t come along and called you a liar.
That appears to be the standard reply to shut people up about the realities of what certain areas are already facing.
