Belgast last night - horrific attack - why is this not being reported on BBC/Sky etc?

[MelanzaneParmigiana]

Absolutely shocking details of the injuries inflicted - the BBC minimise it.

He wasn't illegal was he? And sadly it's very very hard to tell if someone is going to commit such a horrific crime in advance, especially if they've no criminal record. If only it were that easy, be a different world.

It’s hard to know who was illegal because as soon as you claim asylum (Sudan is a war zone) you’re no longer illegal.

A line that is always trotted out to downplay illegal entry.

And this post sums up the whole problem, and why if people like this PP continue to influence decisions the situation will just get worse and worse. More horrified by (perceived) racism than an attempted beheading. Truly mind boggling.

Does she have a point?

The point was to say “these men get away with violence without there being riots”

As if that’s a reason to not be mad and want change for epidemic of male violence.

None is ok.

We need to do everything we can to reduce it.

Uncontrolled immigration of undocumented men will not reduce it.

I don’t think anyone wants to be the de facto vetting system anymore.

We don’t have to comment on every single example of male violence to be allowed to speak out against male violence!

The police force do what they're paid and told to do but the puppeteers.
They can't change anything without being told to do so yet they take an oath to serve and protect civilians.... not all police people are corrupt. But the big ones are puppets; just like politicians, news readers, big celebrities (Hollyweird people).... sold themselves out with no moral compass for gain of fame, money and power

I don’t even understand the problem your friend had.

Is everyone to be ok with Grok being able to produce AI naked kids pics? Or Musk’s interference in politics in the US and now the U.K.? Or Musk’s very racist views? If they have any issue with X that’s a red flag - wow!

Point I was making is that he was granted a visa to stay. You'd think that he'd been vetted before that was granted? If not then the home office needs to take responsibility.

You’re missing the point! Emigration means leaving the country! Immigration means to arrive into a country! Yes you can be an immigrant of a country where you emigrated from another country. What I’m saying is the correct wording if you’re leaving the country is not “I’m immigrating to Spain”, it should be “I’m emigrating to Spain”. But anyway let’s leave the argument here now because that’s not what this thread is about

Well they would be the more newly qualified ones who currently can’t get jobs.

Would change the output of the NHS but presumably they’d be cheaper to employ.

Schools set up their teaching staff requirements that way - bully out expensive staff and replace them with NQTs.

Fine. Just keep letting limitless numbers of them in if you’re happy to take the consequences. But be very careful what you wish for. This could get very nasty, very quickly.

'They' don't actually care what happens as long as the cost of rent paid to them keeps going up with the size of the population. That is literally the only thing that matters to them.

I know several people killed in stabbing attacks over the years. None were on the national news.

The BBC covered this one. It was a horrific attack, but their decision to cover it was probably partly to get ahead of racists baying for blood that it had been 'covered up'.

Trouble is, there's nothing the BBC can do to stop that happening. The racists have the momentum now and they aren't going to let reality get in the way when they're making hay with innocent victims' stories.

6.5% of the British population is Muslim. How on earth can that be the government’s ’only power’? That’s just a silly thing to say.

No we don't but I think she is right to spot a pattern.

I'd have less issue with the riots if it happened against all people who commit really violent crimes or lack of justice. Like those poor girls and just today some lady who was murdered by her ex who was stabbed so many times and her house set on fire.

I would love to see the UK show some passion towards all of these horrific crimes and some much harsher sentences in prison. Crime is crime innit. You either care or you don't.

Is comprehension an issue for you? Have I said anything about being happy? No.

We care.
Which is why we don’t want to import more.

No, you are selective in your care.

Another example of Musk's attempts to end decmoracy......which, incedentally, is also Putin's aim throughout the Western world.

It is, so let's not import any more, eh...?

Selective. Again.

No. Actually you are.

If I look at something and say, that’s horrific, we need to take action so that we can start to reduce and tackle this, I care about all of that issue.

If you look at something and say, oh well, it’s already happening, why bother doing anything to limit it? You don’t give a shit.
