This is the police escort for the latest small boat arrivals at Gosport tonight.

What on earth is going on with this country?

I don’t know how to link a video from Twitter. The videos show the full extent of the operation.

I’ve got zero interest in the names of mindless thugs. Unlike many others it seems.

Ok, but you'd think you'd at least have a basic understanding of what's happening if you're joining a thread talking about it 😕

And you understand why some might not want the male here?

nearly every other post is about either cheating or men using prostitutes. Every nationality has good and bad but are all human.

Laughable. A slight decline = very few 🙄

It is laughable. I’ve given up presenting facts. They deny them or twist them. Standard I suppose.

Omg is this actually what people think? I despair.

Which parts of that post do you think are false?

Do you feel all countries are pretty much the same wrt treatment of women and girls?

Ha ha! I know what’s happening I just didn’t know his name. Interesting your understanding of understanding. Again, says a lot. Makes sense.

Why not answer the question?

Well if I had got to a safe country I wouldn't then put my life and my children's lives at risk by making a dangerous sea crossing in an overcrowded dinghy that I didn't need to make. Would you?

"Yet the pro Pally lot with their chequered scarfs covering their faces, screaming d*th to J*s, is deemed acceptable. 2 tier policing at its finest!!"

You have made that up and many Jewish people are on the marches.

Agree - hiding their faces, no idea who's under there (that's usually a problem for them, unless it applies to themselves it seems) and intimidating/marching etc.
A lot won't give a shit about women usually.

This discussion and the various posts make me ashamed of Mumsnet, so much misinformation and fearmongering.

Please do correct any misinformation or fearmongering you read on this thread.

Where do you propose they go? They legally can't just chuck them on a plane home, it would be worse for society if we just let them roam free so far better to have them housed and be accounted for. It is cheaper to have them in housing than temporary accommodation. Give an alternative, realistic, solution.

If Netanyahu can get away with blasting Gaza to bits, I’m sure nothing will actually happen if the government just put these men on the first flight home 👍 who is going to sue them, God? 😂

Yet our NHS is struggling and needs more funding. And don’t get me started on defence.

But there’s money to protect illegals entering the country and then we will be housing them and generally looking after them.

There’s something seriously wrong here.

You’re so right. I don’t understand why everyone else doesn’t accept these basic facts. The country lacks the resources to host all of these people. And the fact that someone who didn’t arrive illegally by boat was arrested for trespass is bonkers and beyond belief!

DogAnxiety · Today 11:06

@2dogsandabudgie Of course not. Why would you imply that is what I meant? Is logic not your strong point?

Two or more things can be true at the same time, which is something small boat agitators generally struggle with, in my observation.

Some migrants commit crimes and have undesirable or repugnant behaviours

Some white men commit crimes and have undesirable or repugnant behaviours

Some social media material with dubious financial backing falsely claims migrants are the big bad wolf in sexual and violent crimes and uses this as a well worn trope for whipping up discord and racial hatred.

All of those things are true. Absolutely crazy, right?!?

Maybe if our upstanding citizens could behave like humans rather than animals the police wouldn’t need to be there. But when we are required to close lifeboat stations because of horrendous thugs the police are going to need to do all sorts of protection work that should be completely unnecessary.

People who have crossed in small boats should be detained and processed properly. Such a shame that police protection is required in order for immigration officials to carry out their duties.

Absolutely agree. This level of Policing is necessitated by the appalling, thuggish behaviour of British citizens. And now, predictably, those same British citizens & their supporters, have taken to social media to express their ‘outrage’ at the cost of said police response, while failing to recognise their part in it.

When you are using a genocidal war criminal to justify your position, you have lost the argument.

Only on MN is misogyny abhorrent but racism is just fine.

I think it's more a dislike of criminals. As thats what all the illegal boatmen have in common.

SiberFox · Today 11:07

They should not be.

The law has not caught up to modern times yet.

Now it is possible for millions of people to travel here and enter illegally, asylum law needs to be changed. These rules were only practical when very few could travel and claim asylum.

No country should be obligated to provide for the rest of the world at the expense of their own people.

Exactly.

This country has changed beyond recognition because it’s allowed its laws and policies to be exploited and abused.

The airlines may refuse to carry them if they can't be sure that they'll be allowed in at the other end. They'd need paperwork recognised by that country.

Would you be OK if the UK just let anyone enter the country because a foreign government said they had the right to be here? Because that doesn't seem to be what you're arguing.

Quite. The type that would slash inflatable boats, risking death by drowing. Even when there are police/law authorities on board.

We're all nazis now, remember. Apparently. Because the majority of the population don't want illegal immigrants.

They need to be detained . Not free to roam around freely, bored and with too much time on their hands. Why not visit a few towns where there are large concentrations of MEN, hanging around, staring at young girls (and worse). The Bibby Stockholm would be fine, but oh no. Good enough for accommodating oil rig workers but not good enough for our illegal "guests" it seems. Or how about a few plane loads off to Rwanda then at least women and girls wont be afraid to walk freely on iur streets

Spamatemyraisens · Today 11:10

Well, there’s a few EU countries still looking at the equivalent of a Rwanda plan

https://www.reuters.com/world/denmark-expects-send-first-migrants-return-hub-outside-eu-2027-2026-09-04/

With no details given.

The Rwanda plan was going to cost far more than the temporary housing solution. You can't play the cost card and then argue for a more expensive plan.

Yes, and the day we have better internet controls to stop political groups, bots and politicos from infiltrating otherwise social sites the better.

Like a concentration camp?
