Sick of the lie 'It's just illegal immigrants people don't like.'

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.

I've said repeatedly that I have the same concerns as other women. I absolutely do not want anyone to take on further risk. I do not want us to let in violent criminals.

But I do believe in asylum and I don't think we should discriminate based on their religion or where they come from.

Others disagree - they think integration fails. Fair enough.

But our British culture isn't superior - we are at series risk from the men in our own "supposedly" superior culture... Someone else made my point.... 98.4% of our own sexual offenders to have zero consequences.

You said this before and it’s still not true. It’s not our ‘culture’ that the CPS have such a pathetically woeful performance - it’s a failure of our government and justice system.

And I’m not sure why you are claiming that all of those sex offences are from ‘our own’ sex offenders? The stats include immigrant men without differentiating (to hide what we now know about the disproportionate levels of criminality in men from some countries).

‘British culture’ is by no means perfect but far superior to others in many ways. We don’t stone raped women to death for adultery. We don’t throw gay men off tall buildings. We raised the age for marriage to 18, whereas one country recently lowered it to age 9.

We don’t encourage our kids to torture dogs as training for killing Jews. We don’t mutilate girls sex organs with a rusty knife.

We prioritise education and (most human rights for girls and allow women to work and have medical treatment. We also allow women to look out of windows whenever they want.

We are superior to other cultures in many ways. It’s just a shame so many Brits hate the British.

This is surely down to the burden of proof in many cases? In the UK most rapes happen behind closed doors. We don't really see the public gang rapes that are popular in places like Egypt. Well, we didn't until 1200 German women were sexually assaulted in one night by men described as 'of North African appearance'.

In fact, I can't think of a single example of anything similar being perpetrated by European men in my lifetime.

Can we have Bonfire Night in India?
Fireworks, bonfire, Guy Fawkes on November 5th?

Ask someone who is Indian and lives in India, but based on the Indian people I know through work I don’t think they would object to that, actually. They all seem to join in happily with any celebration going.

GoodTimesNoodleSalad · 30/10/2025 16:38

Just over a week ago Labour voted to keep immigrant crime data secret from the public, so we’ll never know the truth. Fortunately, European countries like Denmark do release those statistics, so we have some semblance of an idea.

We're not a serious country anymore.

In Norway I remember they had to teach anti rape classes.....

They also teach diplomacy in schools from a very young age. I wouldn't say culturally they are better or worse than us though. They just have a lot more cash and only 5 million people. Although that's changing due to immigration.

@Londonisthebestcityintheworldif you believe this would you be equally happy as a woman in any culture and if you have DDs would you be as equally happy with them growing up anywhere too?

I doubt they'd mind. They'd be happy hearing the fireworks. We have many many different festivals in India and many even within our Hindu faith. India also is quite loud even at night.

India is a large country. The UK is pretty small and very built up in many areas so I'm assuming you fire off yours in the countryside away from other people and not near any livestock or particularly horses. Otherwise you are being antisocial. It may be that some neighbours can't stand the fireworks being fired off from your garden but are too worried to mention it and pretend they love them so they dont get accused of being racist.😊

I meant male migrants had be to given anti rape classes (if that wasn't clear)

Some people’s religious practices involve killing as many of us as possible. MI5 are really busy trying to keep tabs on them and thwart the constant planning snd efforts to kill us.
You sound well meaning but ill informed about how much some people hate us. People we have welcomed as immigrants and asylum seekers. I suggest looking at Raja Miah on X.

He’s got some very interesting information about the extent of the cover up of the grooming gangs. Keir Starmer has even lied to Parliament- never mind Jess Phillips. And for what? To allow hundreds of men from Pakistan to get away with rape and torture on an industrial scale. White men in general don’t get that level of protection.

Dogsandhens · 30/10/2025 17:16

@Kimdsd

Ah I see.Well that doesn't surprise me. They will have seen what happened in Sweden. There's a lot of immigration into Norway at the moment from Afghanistan for example. The socialist government is providing vast largesse for asylum seekers. It's not popular with everyone that's for sure...

I fire mine off in my urban area. I live in London. In an area which has many other fellow celebrators. It was so much fun. No livestock near me. I finish at 10:30 after having a jolly good time with friends and family.

I think you're missing the point (maybe deliberately)
Teens are children.

Children's jinks, although possibly dangerous, are children's jinks.
Adult men raping and assaulting are adult men raping and assaulting.

I was answering this part of your post

My parents live in Spain and have adapted to everything Spanish. They love and respect the Spanish ways.

Perhaps you're deliberately misunderstanding? Anyway, enough.....

cornflakecrunchie · 30/10/2025 17:31

Fireworks ARE antisocial, I wouldn't mind if it was one (Bonfire) night & everyone stuck to that, we could keep animals in, but they are being let off for at least a month before & a week after..
And as for whoever it is near me (haven't caught them yet) who burns rubbish at night, I could string them up.. the smoke actually gets into the HOUSE..

I find fireworks to be fun. We always follow the law and end the festivities at the legal time. Even though we legally can go to 1pm ok Diwali. We end at 10:30 and it's only once a year for us

Did you do any history at all in school? The Indian’s would have had little to worry about if the British just came over and had a nice bonfire celebration.
