What will Starmer do if Huntingdon...

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

I’m giggling thinking about the one woman who cited TikTok as her source saying that it was for sure one lone immigrant.

You're giggling about a mass knife attack?

I do, likely not the hero you’re looking for as he was a white British soldier who produced several children via rape.

Yes I bet it will set a trend sadly.

Doubtful

Oh blimey, did she say it with a straight face?! they really do walk amongst us. Sometimes it's so ludicrous that you have to laugh or you'd cry.

About the stupidity of some posters, not the attack.

But of course, it's you, back to twist everyone's words

CurlewKate · 02/11/2025 16:53

I’m white, a native English speaker, and British by birth. I am the only British passport holder in my family. On a scale of 1-10 how British am I?

Where did she say that? Obviously she was laughing at the stupidity of people who believe some of the rubbish they spout.

Oh the Saxon bit of Anglo Saxons. Where did they come from? (clue-not Britain)

Moved in when the Legions moved out, to the not overwhelmingly ecstatic welcome of the Romano Brit population at the time. See also, the Vikings, at a later date.

Exactly. Some people seem not to know the history of the UK.

I got told I was being disrespectful to the victims on the other thread because I posted my disgust at some of the openly racist posts 🤦.

Don't be absurd, most English are overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon, I'm half Welsh and the Welsh are overwhelmingly Celt/Ancient Briton. Please do yourself a favour and look up the DNA stats of indigenous Brits instead of spreading misinformation and denying our ancestry, it is very offensive.

This is exactly the response I was looking for.

I'd be grabbing my passport/ID as well as my iPhone.

And if you couldn’t go back to your home? Or it had been blown up? Or you didn’t have a passport because you had never needed one? We mostly have put phones on our person. It’s not hard to see how someone fleeing war or persecution might have that and not a passport. Plus you can buy a new phone if you have to leave the old one behind.

Oops, sorry, yes, British.

So not a murderous boat-person.

The men were identified as British Nationals, not British citizens. There are some differences in status.

Also unless they've got a never draining battery then they'd need a charger too. And good luck charging it in the middle of a warzone with limited power.

What about Cheddar Man?

I am Welsh, btw. Both my parents were Welsh. My grandparents were Welsh. My great grandparents were French on one side.

Am I the indigenous population or am I not?

Eta: if you think my post was deeply offensive, report it. MNHQ will delete if they agree, just as they deleted your very offensive post.

RingoJuice · 02/11/2025 17:03

PandoraSocks · 02/11/2025 16:40

I suppose Cheddar Man's descendants might have a claim?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_Man

Most ethnicities are like this, English are not unique. But at some point they have an ethnogenesis and become relatively stable thereafter

SeriaMau · 02/11/2025 17:04

Yes. Something Must Be Done.

But what, exactly?

I see that the racists are now posting flat-out racism and are not even pretending not to be racists anymore. To any Black people reading, love and solidarity to you. This must be awful for you. xxxxx Flowers

I am well versed on this part of history thank you. Any sensible person would see that a heritage in a place of well over 1000 years is rather different to somewhere between approx 0 and 70 years.

I can guess - and when it becomes clear that there is an immigration angle all hell will break loose 😣. I think this will be a defining moment for the police and the government but I fear they are ill equipped to take a strong stance. The other worrying thing is alp this plays right into Reform agenda

But they weren’t immigrants so the reason people are told not to speculate is they are usually wrong as you are.

Your nationality is British, however your ethnicity may be Italian, Polish, or a mix of many.

I’m about 98% British, according to my DNA. Majority Scots, then English, plus some Irish, and a tiny bit of Scandinavian. Someone with African or Chinese or Indian heritage can hold a British passport as British Citizens, however they’re not ethnically British.

Mlddleoftheroad · 02/11/2025 17:06

Bloody good job it doesn't appear to have been a terrorist attack by an illegal immigrant op.

Starmer can rest easy in his bed that this is a home grown violent attack, and all those here blaming innocent people can crawl back into their holes, except they won't. They will actively search for another event to blame on immigrants without knowing the facts, because they will find it hard to back down and admit they were wrong.

Such glee over an attack on innocent people is sick in my opinion, but that won't stop the "patriots" and their supporters.

Mlddleoftheroad · 02/11/2025 17:08

The excitement from those hoping this was carried out by immigrants is disgusting.
