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?

What’s weird about the people going on about ‘cultures who don’t respect women’ is it seems like people are mostly talking about governments? Like, the taliban are a bit fucked up about women but how does that have any more impact on how the average afghani dude is than how Keir starmer affects the average UK person.

Well, there is the latest gov data (reluctantly released following FOI requests) that shows Afghan and Eritrean men being 20x more likely to commit sex crimes in the UK.

EDIT: I did link the above data earlier in the thread.

Oh no, that fact won’t down well here.

This is such a lazy argument. As though people have to suffer for the perceived sins of their ancestors. Every nation on earth has fought wars and sought to expand its sphere of influence, that’s not news. Economic migrants they may well be - which is a shame for them, but there’s absolutely no reason why Britain should either allow them or want them to enter.

That's interesting. At lot of Asian migrants from the 60s and 70s could come here because they were part of the Commonwealth. I don't think it is a lazy argument. It's the truth. Obviously, that changed when we became a member of the EU.

The ones I saw are just discounts local businesses offer to anyone on benefits.

On some people on UC get 40 percent off and immigration go free.

Just in case it’s been missed… 👀

’….the [sex crime] rates, based on convictions per 10,000 of the population put Afghans, with 77 convictions, at the top with a rate of 59 per 10,000 – 22.3 times that of Britons.

They were followed by Eritreans, who accounted for 59 convictions at a rate of 53.6 per 10,000 of their population.

Britons accounted for 12,619 sex offence convictions, representing a rate of 2.66 per per 10,000 of their population in England and Wales.

Strange how the far left on here who call everyone racist all the time disappear when presented with facts like these. Probably trying to figure out how to defend their argument when presented with data like this.

Charlthg · 24/08/2025 17:15

Mass immigration and the numbers we have currently is a problem. Both legal and illegal. But the illegal migration is especially egregious.

Your attempt to paint anyone questioning the numbers or wanting a stop to illegal immigration as racist is a bit outdated and frankly tired.

What is your argument for mass immigration being a good thing.

Blimey, you still on shift? Do you never sleep?

And yet, and yet....if you were walking through a park, and you were being hassled by a gang of migrants, you would run towards the first British men you saw, and you wouldn't give two shits if they had tins of Stella and union jack
t-shirts.

If that isn't racism, at its most base level, I don't know what is. You should be utterly ashamed.

Yeah Bit like Covid when people went on and on about vulnerable disabled ppl and were happy to use them as a tool to emotionally blackmail others into following Covid restrictions when they couldnt have given a shit about them before!! Rubber stamped by the fact that ppl are now cheering on the benefit cuts facing those same disabled people.

including those disabled by covid

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2025/01/18/nearly-two-thirds-convicted-rapists-sweden-migrants/

Nearly two thirds of convicted rapists in Sweden are migrants or second generation immigrants, a new study has found.
Researchers at Lund University found that 63 per cent of convictions for rape or attempted rape were handed down to people born abroad, or whose parents were born abroad.

In Sweden 2/3 convicted rapists are people born abroad, or whose parents were born abroad.

Sweden are now cracking down on immigration and report reversing net migration..

@VaseofViolets if they have their own families who will be educated here, they've still saved us money by not requiring it themselves. And they've added the the birth rate which we need.
The idea that people need to be fully integrated and won't learn English is a myth. Look at how many immigrants built their own businesses here in the 60s and 70s when people wouldn't employ them. They are responsible for getting their own housing, so housing isn't a problem (the housing crisis isn't a result of over population, it's a crisis caused by an economic system that encourages rich people to use property as an investment opportunity - a huge % of London property is owned by off shore investors)
I've worked with many people claiming asylum, they are almost always keen to work and work damm hard once they're allowed the opportunity to do so. There will always be exceptions I know, but going through circumstances that they have tends to leave pretty damn motivated.

In some cities in the north of England lack of integration is a serious problem, though, and it relates to people of Pakistani heritage. There are ghetto-like areas (as there are in US cities for many ethnic groups) where they live and white Brits don't. Some immigrants do not speak any English, especially females, and there is no pressure on them to learn it.

My home town is one such. The town centre is completely changed—there is just one hotel and no pubs at all now. Many shops have closed. The place is absolutely dead in the evenings, even on a Saturday night, and it's uncomfortable to walk around during the day, especially for white girls and women—in fact there are very, very few white shoppers altogether. My own family never go there now; my DNs and DGNs were leered at and harassed constantly, as were their female friends, even if they were in groups, so they simply stopped shopping there.

This harassment would be unacceptable from men and boys whatever their religion or the colour of their skin, of course, but my sisters and I and our female friends never suffered such a degree of unwanted male attention in the past in the town centre. All men and boys need educating about their treatment of women and girls, I fully realise that. Maybe harassment is generally more widespread and intense than it used to be, in all communities? Is this another effect of the easy availablity of violent porn and the general pornification of women?

It's true that in the past many immigrants set up their own businesses (e.g. the refugees from Uganda, many Jewish immigrants). They had to do this, to survive and thrive. Jews have long had to cultivate portable skills so they could survive whenever the rest of the population decided to expel or expropriate them (again). Pakistanti-heritage people have also set up businesses (they can get loans without paying interest, which is always an advantage); they have even achieved a monopoly in some types of service (e.g. taxi firms, food delivery). This sort of enterprise contributes to the economy, but is not the same as integration.

This argument is so idiotic and pathetic, it’s unreal.

Its basically saying, we have some rapists in this country, let’s add to the problem by bringing people in huge numbers from countries where it’s an even bigger problem.

This, we've got enough of our own.problems, without adding other people to the mix.

Asylum hotel operators have been told to house convicted foreign criminals including arsonists, The Telegraph can disclose.

Home Office documents provided to firms contracted to arrange accommodation state that providers must “acknowledge and agree” that some residents may be “ex-foreign national offender[s] released on criminal bail”.

The “statement of requirements” for providers, obtained by The Telegraph, also warns firms that housing convicted arsonists may lead to higher insurance premiums, and says “more robust furniture” is likely to be needed for ex-offenders.

The same official papers also state that staff who have face-to-face contact with migrants in hotels must undergo annual training in a number of areas including “unconscious bias”, “ethnic diversity and cultural awareness

Indeed. We live next to a large, NW coastal town (until the end of this week when we move), notorious for bad behaviour, drunkenness, fights, drug dealing. The overwhelming majority of these behaviours is committed by white, British citizens, male and female. Because of its relative proximity to many of the mill towns where immigrant workers were needed, there are also many Muslim families visiting. Their behaviour is generally exemplary in comparison, males, females and children.

We have a migrant hotel in my town
Police are called out often to it.

Supersimkin7 · 24/08/2025 21:35

Our five famous murders were committed by two drug dealers (3 rival
gang shootings) and one waiting-for- decision AS (2, tried for 3, violence against women and children).

Police caught the dealers. Murdery migrant died by accident trying to jump into deep water, which must have annoyed him cos he’d have got away with it. Turned out after he died immigration lawyers had faked his claim so he’d have stayed in England too.

In terms of stats, most murderers are husbands killing their wives, as far as I know. BUT, yes, immigrants do commit more serious crime than locals. That’s why no one measures these things in the UK, can you imagine the drama.

Ffs.

Do you actually think that all men in Afghanistan are the Taliban, or supporters of the Taliban?

This comment was in regards to a poster saying that women are treated as badly here as anywhere else, to which I responded ‘Afghanistan’ (as in, the women are treated far worse there).

how on earth did you come to your assumption?
