It will never stop all the time we have a left, socialist government and we have paid protesters to wave boards with refugees welcome 🤬 they are happy calling out anyone that wants a safe country and the boats stopped racists and fascists,

Finally it looks like Europe are waking up, wonder if it's too late for UK ? The future for my kids and grandkids is terrifying tbh.

Same, I am totally terrified!
It is getting worse now they’ve announced today bringing people from two of the most dangerous countries on earth who detest us.
😟
They will bring their extended families and the rest under their human rights argument. Labour must go they aren’t looking after us they are doing the exact opposite to gain votes,
anyone sane would end the madness !

1dayatatime · 28/09/2026 13:23

I'm also surprised that no one has come on to this thread to complain about the humiliating treatment of the detained suspects being forced to strip to the waist on a cold night.

It would appear that their human rights are far more important than ours. We're living in extremely worrying times

That's a good point. Priorities can often be skewed. No wonder we are such an easy target.

It will be suggested that it's the pesky far right again.
Either that or some nutjob conspiracy theory saying it was the Americans, Israelis or the Royal family behind it all.

And if you voice your legitimate concerns, you're labelled a racist.

Give it time. Zack Polanski probably hasn't woken up yet!

I see the “hero Lady” farmer is having a great time with her 15 mins of fame talking to all and sundry. Increasingly looks like she got in the middle of an existing counter terror operation. Bet they were pissed when she called the police.

Well seeing as it's in the Cotswolds, it could have been a false flag plot by Prince William to try and frame Harry and Meghan which is definitely driven by racism.

A bit of a coincidence that this has happened so soon after Harry and Meghan moved to the Cotswolds, that and Harry's military training...

FindingMeno · 28/09/2026 14:05

So they're British nationals?
So they didn't come on the boats?

I can’t think of a single example. Can you?

Of course.

An example is that Trump said he would "do a lot for Israel" during his election campaign. And he has indeed done a lot for Israel.

Whether you agree with US support for Israel or not, Trump wasn't talking nonsense about his support, or lying about it.

sounds likely. They’ll tell us as little as they can get away with.

Yes, although if the 5 suspects are called Dave, Steve, Kevin, Wayne and Mike, they will have rushed that information out with indecent haste.

ilovebrie8 · 28/09/2026 12:51

This has just happened a very serious attack foiled, and today they announce they want to bring in fast track routes for Afghans and Palestinians.

Utter madness, I can’t believe this is being allowed.

Edited

Totally. This is like a country building its own funeral pyre. The gaslighting that we should create fast track routes for Afghans and Palestinians is off the scale.

Hard agree. British Nationals could mean anything. More information is needed.

The term ‘British Naitonal’ has a very strict definition. It can’t mean ‘anything’. It’s specific and the police will be using it within that definition.

Terrifying and not at all surprising in equal measures.

UK is on track to become Jihadi Central as European countries start to wake up and understand what's happening. Here the refugees welcome open borders brigade hold far too much sway with our government and institutions.

We're sleepwalking into a very serious national security situation and all the government has to offer is safe routes for Afghans and Palestinians, a clamp down on free speech and fast tracking anyone who protests into prison.

I don't believe a,word the government are telling us to be honest

This government will only tell us what will make them look innocent in all this, when we know this government are complicit in bringing these men to UK, let's face it they will need all the votes they can get in 2029 , if not before.

cardibach · 28/09/2026 14:27

Point of order @5MinuteArgument
I’ve never heard anyone of any political persuasion (except maybe the odd anarchist) advocate for open borders.

ilovebrie8 · 28/09/2026 14:28

Yep they’d be out the traps within seconds if that was their names @5MinuteArgument !

I am total sick of this charade, future has never looked so bleak. Am terrified right now for future generations.

Who knows, this government are unable to tell the truth so we probably won't ever know.
I think they may be choir boys , or doctors ?

The Greens state they don't advocate for 'open borders' but want 'a world without borders'. Like so many things the Greens believe in it doesn't make any sense what so ever.

Nothing in there about migration control and everything about removing restrictions. I would say that is tantamount to ' open borders'.

A Fairer, Greener Welcome - Green Party

Real hope.Real change. We welcome the contributions that migrants and refugees make to British society. We want to be welcoming, promote social cohesion and support migrants to put down roots. Green MPs will push for: << A Fairer, Greener World Vote Ho...

There’s two points of nonsense here:

  • this government has reduced both immigration and boat crossings
  • how could you rely on people for votes who won’t be citizens by 2029. Citizenship takes a minimum of 6 years on top of the time taken to process asylum.
