To wonder if there'll be a revolt?

[TreatTreat]

In the country that's stretched to its limits, today it was announced that Keir has agreed with Mr Macron that just 50 illegal migrants per week will be sent away.

I know so many people are totally fed up with the state of the country.

Will there be protests?

Can you explain why we have a VAWAG crisis in the UK OP? You know, since 'our culture' has so much respect for women.

Like I said, I don't care what you think of me.

Ignorant types don't do feedback so that's understandable. However it's a public forum and people are going to challenge racism.

That's fine. You do you and I'll do me.

Well yes doesn’t that show the calibre of these men?..
Tell every man that comes here that they have to serve in the Army , they would be gone in a flash ..

That’s not what gaslighting means. She is not gaslighting her. She is calling out her racism.

People are allowed a point of view, without having their intelligence brought into it. Low blow.

If there’s another heatwave, there might be. Hot summers do often coincide with all kinds of social unrest.

Whatever your views on the matter, any government would be extremely foolish to ignore or dismiss rumblings and concerns within the general population.

It’s simple- if concerns are unfounded, they need to demonstrate that. If they’re not, they need to show that they’re acting to improve the situation. Just pretending there’s no problem isn’t going to work in the long run.

Yeah more gaslighting. This time from you.

That word doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Is it really “low brow” to classify racist outpourings as “unintelligent”.

It’s not racist to point out that different cultures have different attitudes to women. I’m irritated by the conflation of cultural concerns with racism. It’s used as a way of shutting down legitimate debate, but it’s not honest and it’s not healthy.

I’ve had plenty of experience in encountering these differences. Being ignored because I’m female and having it explained to me that men from a particular cultural background will not accept a woman’s authority, or deal with women at all. This was apparently OK (on what planet, I’d like to know?)

It suits some narratives to pretend that culture and ethnicity are the same thing. They’re not. I can think of a white cultural group in this country whose attitudes to women I find very problematic.

No one should dismiss people’s experiences and sweep them under the rug!

Racism doesn’t mean what you think it means.

You don’t think making wild stereotypes on entire groups of people on the basis of perceived race and ethnicity is “racist”?

Ok.

It is racist to assume all Africans have the same “culture” and that that allegedly identical culture is harmful to women.

Using culture as a PC stand-in when you are actually referring to race is racist.

Calling out racism is not dismissing people’s alleged experiences. It’s pointing out the fallacy and bigotry of their claims.
Africa is a continent with over a bn people, 54 nations and 100s if not thousands of different cultures.

It’s laughable to mush it all into one or claim that one’s handful of dating experiences can be used to categorise entire ethnicities.

This is flipped logic.
it will almost certainly apply to some of the people coming over, of course, but making that journey is dangerous. So some of these men will be doing the dangerous bit themselves and then sending for their wife and children to come over in safety - that’s their morals and values……

👏👏

This is what appears to be the case. Especially as we have closed all asylum routes to the UK for everybody except Ukranians.

Sending men to take the risk first is entirely to be expected and also not unusual.

If these men were really worried about the physical safety of their wives and children they would get themselves to the first safe country en-route and them immediately try and arrange for the family to join them.

Waiting for however long it takes to get to the UK would suggest there might be other motives.

Ooh a revolt; that will show them. There is nothing like watching idiots loot Primark and Footlocker to make the government change its mind on policy.👍

So they leave them in a dangerous country. Come over here. Then wait till they're given asylum which can take months/years before bringing them over?? It's like leaving your family in a room with a dangerous man with a knife whilst you go off to get help. Your family will be long gone by the time you get them out of the siuation. That's of course if they are in fact escaping danger....sorry, I dont buy it...

I tend to find that loud, self-proclaimed anti-racists are often nasty antisemites. Oh well, such is life.

@LadyKenya , ‘hoarding’? Are you ‘hoarding’ your wealth and keeping from the poverty stricken of the world or sharing it with them?

I've never met an anti racist who was anti-Semitic.
