You literally couldn’t make this shit up.

This country is broken.

Reform should send David Lamey a big thankyou note for this gift.

I'm in Chelmsford and the local gammons are livid.

Lazy stereotyping of people who are rightfully angry at the absolute shit-show that is being visited on the UK and it’s citizens.

If you don’t realise that it was already fucked up, then there’s no helping you.

I don’t need your help. Most people can see Labour are getting it wrong.

But the system attracts criminals. If you were a wanted criminal in a foreign country and you could leave and start a new life in another country without any documentation, why wouldn't you?

Yes, there are parallels with this and the trans issue. Bad actor men who claim a new identity and a clean slate and take advantage of the #BeKind culture which sees safeguarding boundaries as bigoted and exclusionary. Even questioning a man's age is seen as hateful. The system is allowing criminals to move from country to country committing crimes. One might almost think it is a system dreamt up by crime syndicates rather than politicians.

This is the whole problem, isn’t it? Labour are finally in charge, and us pesky wimmin are jumping up and down and making fuss when we really should just shut out mouths. For the sake of diversity!

For the sake of Lammy, Starmer and co

It's absolutely crazy for people to believe that the culture a man grows up in won't massively affect their behaviour. There's a post earlier from a woman who came to the UK as a refugee from a country where women (and children) are seen as the possessions of their male relatives. And then you have PPs, presumably seriously, insist that a man from that country will be no more of a threat than a man from the UK. It's just magical thinking.

Yes, men as a class are a potential threat to women. The UK has gone through a gradual, long drawn out process where women's rights have gained legal recognitions, and equality of the sexes is given a large degree of acceptance. And we still have massive problems with sexual violence. Now we have women happy to throw away any improvements, in the name of temporary, feel good, social media approbation.

👏 👏 Absolutely.

Even if they are not criminals how are we meant to employ and house them all

we already have a lot of people here on benefits and not contributing

Asylum seekers aren't allowed to work, which is why we house them.
If we focused on speeding up the asylum process we would save an absolute fortune!

You forget they are all doctors and surgeons and engineers according to some. They will be paying lots of tax 🫣

Not using fake Deliveroo accounts, not cash in hand dodgy barbers and car washing places. Not crammed into dodgy hmos either.

Nope they are all law abiding very intelligent men just wanting to bring their families over and be net contributors to our country apparently.

Yes but when they are granted asylum as let’s face it no one ever leaves, what jobs will they do

we don’t need them in all honesty and I don’t think we should have to keep on taking them

BettysRoasties · 24/10/2025 22:10

Once processed that is before someone goes but they cannot work till their claim is settled.

Yes and money laundering

whilst Labour dream up ways to steal hardworking people’s cash

No, they'd have raped and killed in a different country, so different women would have suffered. I'm not sure that makes things better for the world overall.

Wow, so morally now we have to take in rapists to lighten the burden on their countrywomen.

CorneliaCupp · 24/10/2025 22:11

What part?

I’ve read on here alone many people saying how these asylum seekers are likely doctors and such. All the luvvies seem believe those who come are clearly the cream of the crop just risking their lives to live and support Great Britain.

You aren't appreciating the hard work done by these men. Earning money through illigitimate means and laundering it through a fake barbers/car wash/american candy store is really hard work.

You don't think the UK should accept any refugees at all? Full stop?

I should really tip better.

Well, it can't be done atm, because after Brexit, rights the UK had to systems to check were withdrawn. Did Reform neglect to mention that?

How do you check the criminal records of men who lie about who they are, where they are from and who claim to be teenagers when they are in their thirties? It's all meaningless.

Rather than focusing on whether or not to take refugees, we should simply stop and instead our main priority should be to stop creating refugees.

The UK gets involved in ridiculous wars and conflicts that have nothing to do with us, and then we act surprised when people flee those areas.

Stop taking refugees, and stop bombing other countries.

How are we being taken advantage of?

I agree that we seriously need to review our asylum systems and processes, but simply saying that we will not accept any refugees at all is in direct contravention of international law.

If we didn’t allow any of them in and sent them straight back, we’d save even more. Plus a girl in Epping wouldn’t have been assaulted, and a receptionist wouldn’t have been murdered.

AccidentallyWesAnderson · 24/10/2025 22:05

👏 👏 Absolutely.

It's the same people who champion things like 'teach men not to rape!', i e. the 'it's all just culture' model of sexual violence who believe that there's no correlation whatsoever between the culture a sexually abusive man comes from and the extent and kind of danger he might pose to women and girls. It makes no sense as a worldview

cobrakaieaglefang · 24/10/2025 21:52

If this offender commits another crime, whoever made decisions over release needs to be charged with conspiracy to commit crime, might concentrate the minds a little! Accountability.
Just because we have home grown perverts/sex offenders/paedophiles it doesn't mean we need to import more from elsewhere. Yes, we need to get our own house in order but thats not an excuse to have more of them.
Honestly, the more this goes on, the more people who have moderate views will get pissed off.
I'm not sure if this is design, which goes into conspiracy theory land or more worryingly pure incompetence at the highest levels. We are an island of course we can monitor/vet who enters the country.

Absolutely agree. We see constant reported attacks by immigrants on women and young girls on a daily basis in the UK. And my guess is that there’s many more low level attacks, ie verbal/inappropriate actions that don’t get reported. Women have fought for decades to get recognition that we are equal to men, and to get respect and an equal playing field. We still aren’t there yet, but these men come from countries where it’s okay to force a child into marrying an adult male, where men can have as many wives as they wish, but a woman gets arrested and punished, often killed, for adultery, where the women are not allowed to work and need to cover themselves from head to toe and walk ten paces behind their husband, where women are physically abused every day with no recourse, and it’s starting to impact women who live in this country not being safe. These men have been raised from birth to treat women like this, and the Government should be deporting them immediately, together with all who ‘lose’ their ID papers in obvious attempts to hide their history.
