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?

I believe these things are useful for combatting the idleness people are protesting about. If they're swimming etc, they're unlikely to be hanging around outside the hotels, scaring local folks.

As for the black economy- that's something the government (again the problem)allows, to prop up the ailing economy.
I wouldn't want to be one of those delivery drivers. I watch them literally risking their lives to do enough trips to make it worthwhile. Not a life I'd wish on anyone.

Sorry didn’t see this one — but actually it was one asylum seeker who has been convicted and hasn’t resided at that hotel for almost two years now, what does it have to do with the rest of them staying there?

@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.

This really annoys me as a comparison.

If you have a hotel where it’s residents are sexually assaulting young girls then it’s absolutely the right place for a protest and if you don’t agree then you’re clearly part of the problem

Do deliverloo/ uber eats really allow people
with no right to work to deliver under their name? How would you get paid without a bank account?

Me too. So simplistic. Also see: vets on the street (copied and pasted from maga)

it’s not as annoying as “I assume you’ll let them live in your spare room then” as if that’s some kind of flex.

tbf it probably is a flex for thick people.

Well you said you were born in the UK, so you’re British, even if your heritage is from elsewhere. One of my parents is from a different ‘cultural background’ AKA country, but I’m still British. I largely like the culture of the native people of this country, and the actual people. But people are individuals and we can’t like everyone I suppose. Can’t you get dual nationality?

What a twatty comment. Middle class Gerald and Philomena and their children Conrad and Daisy and all their friends from the golf club will be outraged..oooops my bad they are the Antifa side aren't they? Suppose they will be ok then...

Yes, it is

Well they cared enough in my town to protest, I can’t speak for others

I don’t want to leave though so why would I be concerned about having dual nationality to facilitate that?
It’s the posters on this thread demanding to know why I’m not leaving.
I have explained literally why I would not leave.
I have never said I desire to, or that I am looking for ways to.

People protested the police station in your town for the police officer rapes in Rotherham? 🤨

I feel like people lump on asylum seekers, illegal immigrants, legal immigrants, family members of british citizens, family members of immigrants, those who have been here for decades, those with settled statuses. I mean, i guess a lot of people don't care about the difference but then there are a lot of "i don't mean you".

A lot of what you are saying would make sense if the person immigrating earns over £50k or whatever the break even is for tax without children at school and is not, for example, a Deliveroo rider. Maybe a sensible, massively reduced immigration policy where only families who are net contributors can immigrate to the U.K.? And we keep it under say 100k for a couple of years? Wouldn’t a lot of the issues simply go away?

But he did reside there and was only convicted in June 2025. People are scared to go to the park next to the hotel with their children. Immigrants are there in gangs recording the children at the park and intimidating the mothers. I do not feel safe in my town any more, neither do lots of people. We’ve had enough. These people are housed and fed which is more than can be said for our homeless and veterans, yet all they do is cause bother amongst locals. And yet, if I say this out loud I’m the one labelled a racist!

Why are you being obtuse? No the protested because an illegal immigrant raped a 14 year old girl in my town.

There will be one person who has the correct documentation and bank account who gets the contract with the delivery company. This person then sub contracts to others and I presume pays them in cash and probably very little. When you order it displays the name/photo of the delivery rider but it then doesn't match the actual person who arrives.

No not businesses but councils. People have to pay additional council tax so these immigrants get their vouchers and freebies. This is what is causing anger among people. They struggle to pay increased council tax and often can't afford to pay for their own DC to swim then see council has issued immigrants DC free swimming, yoga, gardening or heavily discounted swimming, yoga, gardening etc. It causes friction and is unnecessary.

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

There are so many immigration schemes available in Canada as long as you’re under 35, could you cross train to be a quantity surveyor for example?

Well, that’s what the poster you replied to was asking about….

I’m obviously not under 35 😭
