What will Starmer do if Huntingdon...

[Whyandwhenandwho]

Stabbing turns out to be terror related or in a similar vein to incident to recent incidents that were related to immigration ? We don't know the identities yet of the perpetrators. But the fact the Home Secretary is brought in to comment in tabloids and the discussion on LK on BBC today makes me worried its a possibility. The poor people on the train - I cannot even imagine .. ..Starmer needs to tackle knife crime as its rife. What is the answer ? When is there a tipping point ? I don't know but something must be done - I've never paid as much attention other than feeling so terribly sorry for any victims and families. Now I'm starting to get angry when I see anything like this

They are on LNER trains.

Men pave the way with immigration because without a wife and children, they are free to work and build a life. Family follows when settled and established. You cannot police the views of immigrants any more than you can police the views of local populations. That’s not what we’re about as a country, is it? Assimilation programme? Are you serious? Diversity is exactly what we’re about. Bloody great big melting pot. Who gives a fuck what people wear, think or believe? We cannot just say no to immigration. Any more than we can ignore our obligations to those seeking asylum under international law. Get a bloody grip.

Anyone with a brain knows the same about Starmer - except he's not saying anything at all about prevention or public safety.

@AnareticDegree what do you expect him to say? promise to keep people safe? that would be a lie.

He still hasn't responded about the innocent dog walker stabbed to death in Uxbridge last week by an Afghan loony living in an HMO.

Tbf Starmer doesnt seem particularly interested in the UK either. He's never here.

Both men HAVE been charged with attempted murder.

Starmer can't revert 14 years of conservative policies. He's a sitting duck, dealing how those policies affect the UK without moves for him to manoeuvrer. The UK is in serious debt, and lack of money to reverse social services without creating more social issues is crucial.

The torys wanted a UK similar to the US. They got it. Except Britain is a small island close to Europe and not a superpower.

And you can be Caribbean but not black.

Arrested, not charged as yet.

Why have policies that result in this then?

Barclays is forecasting that Reeves will be looking for £41bn in tax rises in the budget, up from their prediction of £26.5bn in September.

Of course he hasn't. He's flailing and out of his depth.

Well things need to be paid for? The NHS, pensions?

I really don't know what guards could have done to stop this happening, it's the mentality of the perpetrators that commit these atrocities that needs addressing.

Yes it wasn't all fairy dust.
I remember as a child being very nervous about the IRA.
I remember a local pub in London being blown up by a bomb in the nearby bins.

First thing labor did was cut the winter fuel allowance. Shows how bad they were as they've now given it back.They should refund everyone from last year.Bloody disgusting, dont mind paying millions to house and feed asylum seekers though.

Nothing wrong with means testing winter fuel

What happened to

Labour's manifesto is, "fully funded and fully costed - no ifs, no ands, no buts… no additional tax rises."

"I have been very clear that every policy we announce, and every line in our manifesto, will be fully costed and fully funded."

“Nothing in our plans requires any additional tax to be increased.”

“We’ve got the Office for Budget Responsibility now… You don’t need to win an election to find out [about the public finances].”

“I don’t believe that fiddling around with tax rates is the best way to grow the economy.”

How are you going to pay for security staff on all trains? Train fares are already stupidly expensive for crap service. LNER is a government owned rail operator using goverrnment owned railway tracks. So either fares rise enormously, or the taxpayer has to pay more taxes to pay for security for a minority of people using trains. Make it make sense!

Because all black men smoke weed 🙄

Stereotyping much?

Not that I have seen since before Covid.
I travel that N/S route a lot between London and Edinburgh.

I find it interesting that certain posters are avoiding the fact they did exactly the same thing in response to the attack at the Liverpool parade. There were threads upon threads insisting that the attack wasn’t British and that he couldn’t be white, the police were lying.

And then promptly went very quiet when he was charged and his name was released.

I said on the other thread that my first thought last night was that it might be county lines gangs because we have a big problem with these gangs coming to my town and having knife fights then getting on the train back to London. Still think this could be the case

Tell the Labour back benchers that. Starmer is running scared of them, hence why he can't make the changes we need as he only cares about remaining prime minister!

You mention immigration in your first sentence. Seems like you are in tune with the ‘warped’ media?

As I have said above, I don’t think they could do anything. But people are trying to argue that this happened because there are no guards on trains anymore. However, there are guards on LNER.
