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?

I was out with friends on Saturday, one of whom was wittering about the ‘great replacement’ and international money men controlling the world.

Most sensible people realise that GRT is an antisemitic trope, but it’s easy to see how it can take hold when it offers a superficially coherent narrative to a state of affairs which seems unexplainable. Why, when successive governments have been elected over decades on an anti-immigration ticket, are we in this disgraceful mess?

It's less like the great replacement and more the great burgeoning, artificially increasing the population to maximise profit for a few people, at the cost of reducing quality of life for the vast majority.

GRT isn't just a theory. It will happen as our birth rate slows right down and other cultures generally have more children. Many of my friends don't have any children, those that do don't have more than two.

We keep being told that immigration is good for the country as most work. Fact is though that you need to earn a high salary to be a net contributor. I don't believe that a high proportion of people coming in are anything other than a huge net drain.

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.

I read quite recently that a 14 year old German boy was beheaded by a Palestian rejected asylum seeker too. The victim was called Jermaine B.

Why didn't have to live like this. But that's the choice our elective representatives made for us.

Also odd to scrap the 2 child benefit cap when they need to massively cut the benefit bill. Not add to it!

The excuse would be "it's not the kids fault"

Yes - but it's not the taxpayer's either.

Personally, I think they're sponsored by various sources. I've also learned that some countries are purposefully getting rid of unwanted prisoners via this route.

Yes, look how many women on MN say not having kids is a good thing because of the state of the world. I mean, I get where they're coming from, but for our population this is drastic.

Yes they'll be lamenting, 'why didn't we notice sooner?'. I won't be jubilant on that day however, I would simply like them to notice now. Even now, is it already too late?

Speaking from experience that doesn't happen

They literally forget that you ever said what you said

Because you were years too early for them because... actually, I don't know what these people are thinking.

Pisses me off on a number of subjects.

i'm glad this thread is still up, but genuinely amazed!

To be accurate the welcoming of 1 million migrants in 2015 (principally male and from Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq) was supported by large numbers of German nationals at the time (principally female and young).

Loads of deletions. Can't really discuss it. This is probably why the government want digital controls. They want us to stfu. It must be killing them that they can't actually ban VPNs. Still, talking about it doesn't mean we can actually stop it, so perhaps they're satisfied for now. They still have us over a barrel. How very sinister, when your own government does this to you. We're so used to other governments allowing or doing harm to their people that we never thought it could happen to us. How complacent we've been.

I’d love to know the actual reason too.

I can answer that. It's because welcoming large numbers of poor migrants into your country is "a kind thing to do".

If you object to this then that must mean that "you are not a kind person " probably racist and far right.

Those that object to uncontrolled migration and then shouted down. Whereas those in favour shout it up.

Politicians follow the noise and make policies accordingly.

inamarina · Yesterday 17:08

Just read that the person killed at the Berlin pride was a Polish woman, and that her daughter is amongst the wounded 😞

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?

Excellent point. The Aussies guard their country from all the hordes of people who would like to live there. They only want the best, high skilled migrants.

There's nothing far right about that but if Reform ever did get elected and tried to implement something similar, the civil service would fight it tooth and nail. They are completely captured by open borders ideology.

I read somewhere that the strict border control and immigration deterrence in Australia is a bipartisan agreement, so interestingly it doesn’t seem to be viewed as a (far) right stance over there.

The ironic thing is the ones who make all the money from importing them are also at risk of being stabbed or raped or run down like the rest of us. They just happen to think it's worth the risk because they're raking in the £££

Ah yes, how do we turn an Islamic terrorist attack on gay people in Germany into a jew bashing. It's so utterly predictable.

Anti-Semitism is rife on MN currently.

Yes, I think there was a degree of naivity, not to say idiocy, from some elements of the German population. They were the ones who lined the streets to cheer and welcome refugees. I think it was partly historic guilt about Germany's Nazi past and also a failure to value their own western culture.

But cases like the one mentioned above, Jermaine B, and many others, have caused attitudes towards refugees to change and harden.

I wonder why my post was deleted. Is reporting something that is recorded in the House of Commons Library now unacceptable?

Or maybe stating UK law is?

Happened to me before in the context of something economic!
