Looks like #3 has already gone! It's catnip to the racists

Now there is one asking why threads about the case are being deleted. The poor moderators must be tearing their hair out.

Notonthestairs · 02/02/2024 12:09

I read the first thread late last night. There are some very valid questions that should be asked but that shouldn't be used as cover for racism.

The thread asking why the previous thread was deleted seems faux naive and an excuse for the same sort of nonsense.

RafaistheKingofClay · 02/02/2024 12:15

Often the initial question is fine on the first thread. But neither the OP nor HQ can really control what happens next. It’s been the same on here forever. Eventually HQ have to delete so many posts it’s not worth keeping the thread up.

Yes that's a fair assessment.

The original thread is back up now.

IClaudine · 02/02/2024 12:49

Oops, need to be careful this thread doesn't become a TAAT!

Piggywaspushed · 02/02/2024 12:57

I have always found MN deeply racist. In that disingenuous middle class white woman way.

That thread was dreadful, made me despair of human nature. So many emboldened racists now.

I agree. Emboldened is exactly the right word. One says something and gets away with it, which spurs others on.

I find it depressing and it worries me for my family.

MrTiddlesTheCat · 02/02/2024 15:24

I don't understand the howling about the acid attacker. He was granted asylum after being convicted of sexual assault, which is what people are angry about right. So does the Refugee Convention only apply to people we like?

DuncinToffee · 02/02/2024 16:21

Oh goodie another one Hmm

The Telegraph is reporting 'analysis' by a 'think tank' called the 'Centre for Migration Control'. How exciting! Can't wait to hear more about this innovative, transparent and independent organisation focusing on such an important issue for the country. Let's have a look...

VimtoVimto · 02/02/2024 16:30

We’ll have the Migration Research Group next.

RafaistheKingofClay · 02/02/2024 16:53

Don’t give them ideas

Notonthestairs · 02/02/2024 16:55

There is an awful lot of money sloshing around to pay for these lobbying groups. Where does it all come from I wonder.

IClaudine · 02/02/2024 17:08

Ha. The gammons will be spitting feathers.

So, "The Backlog" is only cases pre-July-2022. Any undecided are a "legacy backlog". They've gone into "The Caseload": 94,000 people waiting for an asylum decision, which isn't "a backlog" but "a queue".

When will it be cleared? "As soon as we're able."

Comical by Cleverly. ~AA

There are going to be quite a few angry middle aged white men around.

If they are queuing they are definitely British.

Agree those threads were truly depressing & horrific so sorry Rousette 💐

Jason118 · 02/02/2024 18:55

Well I'm an angry middle aged white man, for completely different reasons Grin

tobee · 02/02/2024 19:09

A lot of emboldening goes on on social media. 🙁

IClaudine · 02/02/2024 19:12

There are about three threads running, all as vile as you would expect.

IClaudine · 02/02/2024 19:13

Sorry Roussette. The people on those threads are just horrendous.
