PiddingtonFan · 16/09/2026 09:38

We dont need anymore undocumented young males.

1000 proposed to be housed near Piddington. Young males from a different culture.

AIBU to agree with them. Enough undocumented males. Too many males overwhelming a small population. 😪

Four men armed were arrested (non nationals) in the Garden of Remembrance, a sacred place in Dublin during the week by the armed response unit. CCTV shows the whole scene, leaked on to social media. After the arrest a person videoed the Garda putting hand guns into evidence bags. It is all over social media.
Is it in the newspaper or tv? No.,

This is horrific. Do people really think we have enough safeguarding for entry after reading this.

A major problem is that we just don’t get decent information anymore. Proper news media was destroyed years ago, as even some MPs know well and have expressed concern about. We all know the country is deteriorating - there is a thread at the moment about how city centres have deteriorated and which is the worst one - and yet we are told officially there’s nothing to see. We all see it everytime we walk into towns and cities, yet we’re told it doesn’t happen.

Then we get to the demographic change issues. Our population can be increased by a million a year - a million ffs on a small island! - yet we ‘re told everything is fine. Birmingham, where my grandparents lived, is no longer a British city, yet we are told that anyone who jumps off a plane is more British than those of us who’ve been here since Viking times and it’s ‘racist’ to say otherwise. Cultures are different, yet it’s ’racist’ to point that out. The Burka is a traditional north European garment don’t you know. Islam and Sharia offer the same full life for women as the rights women have fought for in Europe. Humans should keep breeding like rats even though we’re so superior to rats because we have thought and can control breeding within our environment.

Black is white, up is down, and an island that can feed 40 million should be able to feed 100 million even though all the trees are getting diseased and wildlife is vanishing, shortly to be followed by the soils.

@shecanbe If you want evidence of the result of plopping a large number of men from another culture into an area, take a look at the scenes in Ceuta. The increased violence and sexual assault in the last few weeks.?
It isn’t making the headlines or broadcast on mainstream television.

I'm guessing because some Spanish men commit crimes at much lower rates it's no big deal because everyone's the same

I'm going to give up on this thread. Of course you are entitled to be concerned about certain attitudes to women in certain cultures. Do you think this is some great revelation that actually needs explaining or that your 'liberal left' aren't equally aware? I lived and worked on the Pakistan / Afghan border for 8 months - you don't need to tell me. My husband's family fled Iran ffs.

What I object to is the lazy stereotyping and fear-mongering that immigrants are more likely to be sex offenders and rapists. This is patently untrue. Racism thrives on stereotypes and lack of understanding. This is obviously being magnified via social media where people can find a picture or an article to justify pretty much anything - and then they present it as 'the truth'. Scary stuff. This is how the Far Right operate and how reasonable discussion about cultural differences become ever more shrill and distorted. I don't know what to say to you anymore really, but good luck.

As your husband fled Iraq I can understand why the current discourse is unsettling for you and your family.
I have read your posts and I will follow up on them for information. I would really appreciate it if you would do the same with the other concerns shared.

I don’t think you’ll get through to that poster.
I am in an area that has been hit badly. As a low income area, there was enough scumbags to steal, sell drugs, be involved in violent DOMESTIC abuse. If you avoided that type of guy you’d be safe enough.
Now we have a group who harass young girls, think they are open for sex, don’t understand that the girls don’t want to chat with them, we’ve had countless flashing incidents, public wanking, a deliveroo driver sexually assault a child, it’s in court no secret, another man lifted a child from an apartment block and ran, he’s been arrested, delivery driver push through front door, that’s with 10 miles from me. Knife crime is through the roof, it wasn’t common to carry knives in Ireland, whenever there is fights between the groups or with others they always pull a knife.
I have loads of videos sent by locals of crazy things that go in the area. Many from Afganistan are addicted to opioids, the local park is full of random men, some in the bush injecting heroin.
Oh I forgot about the homeless girl who shared her crack with the immigrant. She was raped, she was arrested when she complained, on her release for public disorder (migrant rape accusation) her support worker brought her for an examination, yes she was badly injured and clearly raped.
The cases I highlighted are in the paper as I know you wouldn’t believe made up stuff.

Edited

The trouble is that the people who support open borders, we should help these people are middle class in mainly white areas. They haven't seen the issues between West Indians and Sudanese at the school gates. They've not had their 13 year old daughter followed home.

For months I have been chasing one around fb. He's a gobby shite who keeps saying I'm stupid. But he refuses to answer where we are going to put all these migrants...and has the brass neck to object to a housing development in pur Town!!!

You have been deleted for racist statements.

You are still ignoring that the crimes don’t need to happen at all. No one needs to wave them away to support a bad system.

No one is waving away crime.

The UK has signed up to the UNHCR and whilst we are in it we need to comply with it.

If people don’t think we should be part of it, they should lobby their local MP instead of victimising entire communities.

They are and we can use a different system whilst remaining part of it, as Australia are.

EasternStandard · 19/09/2026 10:41

The crimes clearly don’t bother some as otherwise they’d want policy change.

To look at that article below, and many others, and continue as we are doesn’t make sense.

Because of the refugee convention we still need to accept these men even though some will go on to SH, SA or even rape our girls?

I’m sure politicians are aware of the pressure around this. Enough to sweat over losing the next GE.

No one wants crime. But I also don’t think treating entire groups of people as criminals is helpful. Crimes are committed by individuals not whole nationalities. Most asylum seekers are fleeing violence, not causing it.

That’s great, but generally once the far right, GBN, racist lines drop people can discuss policy change without it.
