For thinking that the migrant protests ...

[Ihateboris]

Should be held at the council offices, Government departments, rather than the migrant hotels? After all, it's due to the government's lack of processing that the migrants are there?

@VaseofViolets given that they majority are coming from countries that we have gone in and caused mayhem (Iraq and Afghanistan two of the highest), my opinion isn't really relevant - we have a moral responsibility to. As well as the basic moral responsibility to help other humans regardless of the colour of their skin or the language they speak.

What you're quoting as 'genuine concerns' aren't genuine concerns at all. It's racism based on ignorance. Just like the abusive men claiming they're doing it to protect 'women and girls'. Its based on prejudice not facts.

Typically deported, or into the black economy/ slave trade. Not into taxpayer funded hotel.

Where do they get put up whilst waiting to be deported?

Have already written to my MP..

We need our politicians to get the basics right.

Exactly. God knows how many avoided arrest.

For those in the back right back at you, The majority of the asylum seekers housed in the hotels are awaiting to be processed. The authorities will have limited data while investigations take place. A percentage of these people will eventually be identified as illegal Immigrants who will either be deported (according to our leaders) or slip into our society undocumented. Where do they live someone asked? Squashed into HMOs designed for 6 in single rooms who then sublet and have 4 extra people living in each room. Come to Harrow if you wish to see evidence of this.

Those figures you quoted are from last year's riots though?
This year's protests are a different kettle of fish. We're not seeing widespread violence. Most are peaceful according to the police. I don't see the relevance.

Of course they are. Totally different people. 🙄

‘More than half (65%) of the increase in the UK population between 2004 and 2023 was due to the direct contribution of net migration.

Since 2020, almost all of the growth in the population has come from net migration.

Official figures projected that the UK’s population would grow from 68 million in 2022 to 77 million in 2046. Net migration accounted for 104% of this growth. Net migration has accounted for 98% of population growth since 2020.’

If anybody thinks this isn’t a problem, I’d suggest they’ve got a comprehension problem.

You don't see a difference between this year and last? Genuine question.
I see a huge difference, as do the police forces dealing with them.

I wasn’t talking about the protesters.
Don’t be so rude.

Net migration accounted for 104% of this growth, because deaths were projected to outnumber births from 2030.

All us boomers’ fault again because we’ll be dying. I note you cut that bit off.

Agree.
I saw pictures where someone had been round a park in hounslow. Groups of men sitting in a park where filmed.
How bloody.intimidating for a women that's got to walk through the park.
I.know they were probably.justvresting and had nowhere else to go but it did look bloody odd and intimidating.

Net migration fell sharply in 2024, from the unusually high levels seen in 2022 and 2023

How does protesting outside hotels help reducing immigration?

And he’s a human rights lawyer. It’d be laughable if he wasn’t so far beneath contempt.

😂😂 you couldn’t make it up. A whole sheet of data. And a link to much more detail. And you take a sound bite and make it all about you. Actually. You could make it up.

Why did you cut that bit off?

Yes, he shouldn't pamper to Reform and their supporters with his language

Eh. Don't know who your thinking of, but my MP is not a human rights lawyer.

Not sure how you would even know but

Of course they should, but then the thugs would miss the thrill of harassing the vulnerable.

How does protesting outside hotels help reducing immigration?

It seems to have worked in Epping.

Yeah it’s down to 500k, only a population the size of Leeds that year. How anyone can defend this and not see the blatant disaster we’re facing is beyond me.

How?

All it has done is move people elsewhere

Proud of Perth today. Around 150 protesting against migrants (several of whom weren’t local). Around 250 with migrants welcome placards.
Perth is a vibrant, diverse city. Thank goodness.

What disaster are we facing exactly?

And how do these protests avert it?
