Terror attack on Berlin Pride

561 replies

HermioneWeasley · 26/07/2026 09:17

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 started a thread on this. Boy, you should see the posters saying there’s nothing to see here “mind your own business”, it’s not true, or that they’re all wonderful people and the inevitable “there are more white criminals in the UK”.

Yes, the useful idiots are relentless. Nothing will shift their delusions. It's all tied up with their identity which is way more important to them than reality.

It's mind boggling. I've never understood 'but there are more white male criminals in the UK!'. Great. Should we be proud of that, and why should we add even more? What about all the women on this site who say pretty much all violence comes from men - are these male immigrants exempt??

There is a real problem with the lack of diversity within criminality which for too long has been dominated by white males due to systemic racism.

We should be welcoming from different countries and cultures to provide much needed diversity in crime.

After all diversity is our strength!

I read the Spanish press as I used to live there. Apparently, these men are roaming around the town breaking into people's apartments and houses.

Update: Madrid is sending troops as the local police are overwhelmed. Italy is closing its border with Spain.

I've just seen that three women have been found dead in a migrant boat that was attempting to cross the channel. That's what happens to women in a boat full of male migrants.

Apparnenrly other women were also not able to board the boat or chucked off * disclaimer I saw it don't know if it's true

This is one of the reasons why not many females cross via the boats, they are subject to harassment and murder or die as a result of being shoved off by someone bigger than them I.e. a man. These are the people we are letting in.

MaturingCheeseball · 31/07/2026 10:31

Omg - just seen the new barriers in Trafalgar Square. What a crying shame.

Yes, and multiple rapes at Sangatte, just complety unsafe for women and girls. And as you say, these are the men that are then free to wander our streets once they arrive.

Yes, the look of jubilation on those mens faces when they successfully broke into Europe. No doubt they're coming from poverty and unemployment but this is a terrible development.

Spain's left wing government has just given amnesty to potentially over a million illegal migrants and this is the result. It will destabilise Spain once crimes start happening and then there's a right wing backlash.

It's going to destabilise freedom of movement in the EU, at this rate.

Had a look for some pictures - what the heck?? Such an eyesore and also, anyone can just climb over those, they're so low?

I guess it's to stop terror attacks using vehicles like the one on London Bridge, Berlin Pride, the Christmas market in Germany and the attack in Nice on Bastille Day using a massive lorry.

These are the bollards of peace. I hope everyone feels suitably enriched by them.

There is a Christian gathering at Trafalgar Square tomorrow and so there needs to be protections. It's called 'Revival in the Square '

It wouldn't surprise me if the Moroccan incursion was spearheaded by mass disinformation spread by Russian bot farms.
Its their MO, destabilise the EU.

Damnthatmouse · 31/07/2026 11:50

Based on some news hundreds are now turning back to Morocco because it's too crowded, they can't find where to sleep, food and locals are not being nice...
I mean like, really?.....

Well it was bound to happen, I notice they didn't bring packed lunches with them so what did they think would happen? Possibly many just got caught up in the 'let's do this!' fervour and then, once in Ceuta, realised it wasn't such a great idea.

Let's hope they all go back. Moving en masse to another country doesn't solve anything.

Nah it was prompted by a decision of the Spanish Socialist Government in February to grant an amnesty to existing illegal migrants in Spain followed up by a recent Spanish court decision to block the return of new illegal migrants.

Make no mistake the political and judicial decisions in Spain have created this mass influx
and they only have themselves to blame.
