To now be increasingly concerned about illegal boat arrivals

I've kept a level head with boat crossing arrivals but recently I've become concerned that there are some really unpleasant people being let in. This story was hard to watch on the news this evening;

Asylum seeker 'murdered hotel worker Rhiannon Whyte in frenzied attack' - BBC News https://share.google/qxzed2MD19TYPKasQ

I welcome genuine asylum but I don't believe that is what is happening anymore.
The story immediately before the above on national news this evening was the migrant who had threatened Nigel Farrage. I know Nigel is not the most popular of people but the migrant was horrid, clearly dangerous and not safe to be on our streets.
Financial cost and all other factors aside, it's the safety aspect that worry me most.

You can apply online for asylum in Canada.

Officials will even meet you at the airport if you're successful. You then get the same state support as citizens.

Did you Google that part too, or just select parts of the information available?

But they need to publicly advertise - ‘we will give you more than the miserly, racist UK. Please apply at the booth over there - don’t get on the dinghy and risk your life, come somewhere you’ll be transformed into a doctor or engineer. Extended family welcome’

And what if you AREN’T successful?

Then the EU will take you 😂

Starmer needs to get the message out: Canada will provide a warm welcome to millions of undocumented males currently trying to get into crowded 'racist' countries like the UK.

I can't give a lot of detail as it is outing, be careful what you discuss in work, especially if you work with people who aren't impacted by immigration, a friend works in childcare in a very fancy area, she was suspended under investigating, she said the town she came from changed, a lot of lone men hanging around with nothing to do, the family member complained to head head office, she doesn't want racism around her child.
What started as a compliment on her accent lost her a job.

That's very worrying @EmeraldShamrock000. What a virtue-signalling twat.

This kind of biased censorship and control is very Stasi.

If you lose your job because of something you said, or tweeted, it might be worth contacting the Free Speech Union.

Free speech is becoming a huge issue as the govt tries to shut people up instead of addressing their concerns.

This is why (although I'm obviously not accusing anyone here) I think Russian mumsnet bots exist. No one reasonable in the real world thinks like that. Unless they r9eally are living in a lovely bubble in Islington.

It’s not going to happen overnight but if you look at the growth of Islam as a religion worldwide, and more importantly in the UK, numbers are increasing. 4.9% of the uk identified as Muslim in the 2011 census, but by the 2021 census this had increased to 6.5%. Statistically it’s suggesting that by 2050 it will 10%, and by 2075 it will be over 15 % so one person in six, this is due to a much higher birth rate than the non Muslim population. It’s not racist to say so, it’s a factual, observation and of course Muslims are not a race. When you reach this level the country certainly can change. look at world maps and see how Islam has spread across the world over the past one hundred years, particularly in Africa.

It would also be interesting to count the number of Muslims entering the country compared with the number of non Muslims leaving.

While actual net migration is something like 4/500,000 per year and on the surface wouldn’t skew the numbers as much but if the vast majority of those coming in were Muslim, vs people leaving, that speeds up the process significantly.

It’s not racist to say so,

It's the literal definition of racism.

The “literal” definition of racism? How?! How is observing statistical growth of a particular religious/cultural group, not race, the “literal” definition of racism?

Ah, more horrendous news, the largest hotel and conference centre in Dublin has been converting into an international protection centre.
Families in hotel side, single men in convention centre.
Male 30's arrested today for alleged rape of a 10 year old girl. Court in the morning.

Was just reading about that @EmeraldShamrock000
Ach sure they're all just great lads looking to better themselves and benefit our societies. You'd be a right bigot to say otherwise 😪
He's just another one of the 'New Irish'

I've just read that @EmeraldShamrock000. Horrendous.

Poetnojo · 20/10/2025 21:38

The poor girl is only 10 ffs, animal

EmeraldShamrock000 · 20/10/2025 21:38

It's horrendous.
What have we allowed happen.
My 16 year old walks rows of blue tents every morning going to school, they walk in groups, carrying a panic alarm, men have been recorded touching themselves by some teenagers.
So frightening.

I suspect there will be a strong reaction to it.

Poetnojo · 20/10/2025 21:42

The place is thronged with the guards at the moment.

SpaceRaccoon · 20/10/2025 21:48

I've just seen this on X. The mood must be like a powder keg.

Poetnojo · 20/10/2025 21:56

Yeah, I just don't know what it is about these undocumented men coming over and raping little kids that just seems to get peoples backs up.
