This is just not true.

Reform, the flag flyers and protesters are racists. All of this 'It's just the illegals we want gone.' is a lie to excuse their racism.

English are racists. OK. I am Balkan. Since the minute I landed here to be around my daughters, I have been asked numerous times why did I came to this country....Does this bother me? - No. I have my belly full, my roof and bathroom, my life organised and well provided for ...( not benefits). Have my old ass

Not all of us, any English ignorant racists don't speak for me.
Glad you're well provided for and looked after (genuinely)

I have no idea. I am paraphrasing the people who excuse racism by saying people are afraid of the quick changes in their communities due to immigration.

Pick a culture. It's usually a non white one that disturbs them.

British culture is significantly more moral than many others. For example in this country you can be gay and not face persecution or a non Christian and not be charged with blasphemy. Or a woman and work and drive and leave the house unaccompanied without having to cover yourself up. People died fighting for our rights in this country and yet some people are so quick to throw all of those rights away in the pursuit of "multi culturalism". No thanks.

You sound delightful and a real asset to the UK.
As long as you don't abuse the UK's hospitality.by committing a crime or going on benefits most people won't have a problem.

Although of course I suspect this is not a genuine post.

My heart breaks at little Britainers being disturbed by their communities being changed by an incoming culture.
Yep, cultures all over the planet feel felt much the same when Britain arrived.

So why should native Brits have to just accept a negative cultural change to their community? Because 100s of years ago the empire spread (as empires did throughout history)

What do you mean by this? Isn't our legal system the basis for many others.

Of course. She's just making a throw away comment for the sake of it without any real thought having gone into it.

So to be clear, it’s just a revenge fantasy for you?

You’re ditching any argument that they are good for Britain, or that they bring some other value?

They are just a punishment?

And you are calling ME the racist. OMG

No im talking about the prisons that are chocablock full of White Rapists, Pedophiles, stalkers and murderers. Also the hundreds of scatty racist facist chavs who have been beating up innocent refugees and attacking their kids, homes, hotels, burning down mosques, criminal damage to buildings, public property. I'm....talking.....about.....that......yeh....get me......though.....Benidorm.

I don't understand your use of the word " scatty ". What do you mean? The word is littered throughout your posts. Do you mean " scatter brained "?

You don't actually believe this.

You may say you believe this, but you actually don't.

(For the avoidance of doubt, this is a reductio ad absurdum of your non-argument.)

Well said!

There are a lot of ignorant comments on here from people who have no idea what it would be like to live in some other cultures. God help you if you’re gay or a woman in many parts of the world.

Bonkers!

And can they answer the usual questions: if it’s so awful in Britain and wevare all so appalling, why does everyone want to come here?

CoffeeCantata · 26/10/2025 18:40

Actually…just looking again…there really are some exceptionally daft and ill-informed comments on this thread!

Kimdsd · 26/10/2025 18:47

On another note do people here feel safe on their own after dark?

Since moving out of a huge city, yes I do. Whilst living there, absolutely not. I honestly feel sorry for the people who are still there - it used to be a proud, working class industrialised place but one where everyone knew each other and would help each other out. It's now changed beyond recognition.

Do you mind if I ask what city and what changed? Was it gentrification or immigration or both?

Birmingham! Crime is through the roof, stabbings and knife crime are common place. my old neighbourhood which was always working class but tidy and ckean is unrecognizable - hmos, asylum seekers hotels, only shops on the high street are the money laundering ones selling cases of water and little else, human traffickers regularly arrested on the doorstep. The pride and heart has gone from the place. I feel desperately sorry for pensioners who have no choice but to live amongst the mess and are too frightened to leave their house.

Oh god. I absolutely hate Birmingham.

I'm from London now. I like central but dislike the outer areas

Petitchat · 26/10/2025 20:36

We've had a fun few years, haven't we?

First we're called nazis because we don't want men in womens toilets.

Now we're called racists because we're concerned about illegal immigration in our own country.

What next?

Yes, awful place. Sadly, I would have defended it years ago but it's too far gone now. I would dearly love to stick a few politicians down there and see for themselves the absolutely state they have helped create.
