Terror attack on Berlin Pride

police are looking for a suspect with Islamist links.

yesterday I saw that islamic bookshops run by the Muslim brotherhood (who are banned in Egypt and I think the UAE) are bringing “workers” over on skilled worker visas. The UAE has stopped government scholarships to British universities because they are worried about their young people being radicalised here!

islamic terrorism is a problem. 75% of Mi5’s watch list are Muslim.

how do we remain a safe and tolerant place for the many peaceful Muslims while still retaining our values and safety?

17 years ago the Guardian published this article.

1 in 4 South Arfican men admit to committing rape.

1 in 4. And thats those who admited it, not those who may have raped but lied OR do not see force or SA as rape.

How are we supposed to live with these men? Rape is such a normality to them but again, we are not supposed to talk about it??

You've said this before. When I looked at it myself I felt sick and disgusting. But apparently it's all okay because "white men bad too"

What I want to do know is why governments across Europe are allowing this to happen? I have never been into conspiracy theories but on this, I am starting to wonder.

On other threads there are people who say we should immediately join schnegen and the eu....and what? Let these people come here willy nilly?

Whatever happens, you can guarantee that women will be the first to suffer. We always are. The rights we've taken for granted for the last few decades will be gone.

I don't understand it either. Do they want war? Civil unrest? What benefit is it to the Labour government to be spending billions on immigration and foreign aid whilst the country is in tatters and every week there is another stabbing or rape?

I cannot fathom it at all, can someone explain it? :(

I wondered and found out. It's nihilistic, depressing and ugly. I have only my faith to hang onto. I mostly worry about ds2.

Some of us have been saying this for years as we could see what was coming. We were shouted down and told we were prejudiced.

It should have been addressed years ago but all governments have been useless.

Now most of the uk population agree. It’s probably too late now.

We're going to end up with a far right government, which is no good for anyone but the mega rich, and it's just as much fault of those who put their fingers in their ears and went 'lalalala I'm not listening to racists' as it is the actual racists.

That and stabbings, in France too. It's pretty frequent but if there's only one or two people killed, it doesn't tend to hit many headlines.
Also seems to be a kind of grey area now between organised Islamic terrorism and lone wolf stuff, and a lot of the loan wolf stuff (and sex attacks) are driven by recent asylum claiments, including in the UK.

This kind of story, as an example:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c70k6x1x67ro

A German student, Marius Dick (22), was killed by an Afghan refugee couple of weeks ago.
In 2023 a teenage couple in Germany (Ann-Marie R., 16, and Danny P., 19)
were stabbed to death on a train by a Palestinian refugee.
In 2024, 20-year-old Philippos Tsanis was killed by a Syrian refugee, after attending his sister's high school graduation party.
And the list goes on. There are sadly many cases like these.

Who would have guessed that China would end up becoming more free than the West? Depressing. Their population is declining though so they're not in a good position. Plus they're under digital behavioural controls.

This 'argument' drives me insane.

Yes we have homegrown british rapists. We have men. Men are always a problem. But the culture of rape in these countries is completely different to the rape problems we face ourselves in the UK.
Rape is taboo and abhorrent to us, British men know it is a crime and yet still commit rape.
Men from SA and the East do not even have the concept of rape in some cases. The idea that a woman has autonomy over her own body and the ability to say no to sex is completely alien to them.

Women in these countries are commodities. They are property to be bought and sold within marriage.

Any woman showing flesh is assumed to be a prostitute.

This is their culture. This is their normal. They are not taught consent or respect for women. They are taught that a man pays a Father for his daughter and the ownership is transferred. That woman often has no choice in the transaction and is often a CHILD.

This is reality.

And then they come here, with that same entitlement to women and sex.

They come here and leave their wives and children behind.

And then they want the sex they have always been told they are entitled to.

But no western woman wants to have sex with a Somalian migrant who lives in a HMO and barely speaks English.

So what happens? The inevitable.

The predicted. The expected.

And its our daughters that live with the trauma for the rest of their lives whilst the men serve minimal sentances and still don't get deported.

I think it’s time for the authorities to do something about covering children. A girl in DD’s class (yr 5) started wearing not just headscarf but long robe and face covering. No PE or other active pursuits. Everyone nods along as if it is quite acceptable. It really is not in this country.

Face covering in year 5 is horrendous 😞
I grew up in a neighborhood with many Turkish families, and I don’t remember a single school girl wearing a hijab in the 90s, never mind face covering.

Why is Reform far right though? Because they address this and want to put an end to it?

They aren't talking about mass murder or deportation of everyone who falls passed a certain shadenon a Dulux colour chart.

They are talking about stopping people coming over who are reliant on benefits and do not learn English or contribute.

The same way I would LOVE to move to Australia but I wouldn't be able to earn enough to support myself there, so can't do that.

How is that far right?

Even the killings hardly get reported any more, the assaults even less.

Add to this the number of social media sites where women can record and post the general harassment they suffer, these creeps just following them, refusing to leave them alone, refusing to take no for an answer. Constant leering and comments and never knowing if and when it’s going to turn violent.

The left have shifted the goal posts so far LEFT that now just common sense and self preservation are labelled as far right.

That is the lefts problem, not normal people like myself who have voted Labour my whole life and am now being told that I'm a right wing extremist (by the Priminister of my own country and the party I voted for almost my whole adult life!) for not wanting my street to look like a third world slum and for wanting my daughters to be safe on the tram.

When someone says 'far right' now, or even 'extreme far right' it no longer means what it used to! Crazy.

I'm no racist, I'm not anti-immigrant at all, but I think that the channel crossings are clearly a major security risk both in terms of indivual crimes and terror threats (eg the IRGC being found to be sending operatives through that route).

It's also clear that many of those coming to the UK and Europe have criminal backgrounds or bad mental health - yes most of them are from countries with very different cultures in terms of their attitudes towards women etc, but even that doesn't explain it, if you actually go to those countries, most people aren't criminals obviously. So whether they're fleeing justice, or the authorities actually just point them at Europe and make them someone else's problem, I'm not sure.

I really doubt that many of them at all are genuinely fleeing persecution - at best they'll be non-criminal opportunists.

I also think the Boris-wave millions of legal low-skilled immigrants have been a disaster. I have no animosity towards them personally, they arrived perfectly legally, but it was a truly dreadful decision by Johnson and co, and a massive betrayal to his Red Wall voters, who very very clearly wanted far less immigration, not more of it.

No idea what the answer is, but many parts of the UK and Europe have changed an extraordinary amount in the last two decades, and it's largely not been a positive change.

100% agree. Yes, massive betrayal happening in UK and accross Europe. People are pushing back but the politicians and those in power are too captured by the liberal-left multiculturalist ideology to be able to deal properly with the issue.

The problem is, no party will be able to do very much about it. It is too late. They can stop things getting worse - perhaps.

Tbh I'm starting to feel the same way about being called far right/racist as I now feel about being labelled a TERF.

Used to bother me but I realised that it just means I live in reality, not cuckoo land.

And then eventually, everyone else catches up and agrees you were never wrong in the first place.
