Reasons like

Check out the vape shop visas - that's just one example - 80 vape shops allowed to sponsor workers to come from abroad to this country

I don't know if the Labour government have got round to changing it, but you should see the list of professions that you could use apply for a Visa in this country under Boris Johnson - that included things like blogger and supermarket trolley assistant. And you could bring your family if you were studying here.

So we have a whole bunch of unknowns for no reason whatsoever.

And then look at Abd Alaa El Fattah - Keir Starmer was so excited about him arriving here, he told the nation via X on Boxing Day

I can see the argument because he had a mother born here, it would've been difficult to turn him down for citizenship. Difficult but not impossible by any stretch. And he may well have failed the good character test if they had applied it. But of course they didn't bother. Because everyone's allowed to come here particularly if they actively speak against the West. I mean really this is the sort of person who it would be reasonable to turn down a temporary Visa application - but no Britain rolled out the red carpet for him

No wonder their approach to people crossing on a dinghy is to give them absolute everything, from free food to free medical care - and no one can dare question their right to come and go as they please

We don't have a clue who they are and we do all of this for them. Doesn't it make you wonder? Other posters have put list of countries that are too dangerous for us to go to - but it's apparently fine for us to let in the very people that are making those countries dangerous

Thanks for replying.

Because everyone's allowed to come here particularly if they actively speak against the West

We don't have a clue who they are and we do all of this for them. Doesn't it make you wonder

Are you are hinting that you think there is a deliberate ploy to allow people from Muslim countries who are hostlie to the West to come here, no holds barred? That is really not the case.

I propose that at the next General Election there be an additional box at the bottom of the voting paper with the question;

Do you agree to asylum seekers and refugees in large numbers being housed in your neighbourhood and supported by your council. YES/NO

Then all the answers get tallied up and a league table produced. Obviously Brighton will be top of the table. It will be very useful for government planning. This is where things have gone wrong so far, asylum seekers and refugees and immigrants have not been housed in the local neighbourhoods of our politicians, our celebrities, our wealthy middle class.

Currently far too easy to virtue signal when the issues are not affecting your daily life.

reading mumsnet and some other news recently o was really starting to wonder what was happening and why the country has become so racist. But this has cheered me up so much. Well done Brighton

I don't think that the vociferous posters who promote Reform or even their putrid cousin Restore are an accurate reflection of MN as a whole. This forum has always been a bastion of moderate values and that's made it a target. This, like any other such forum, is being relentlessly targeted by paid trolls, bots etc. Some people who claim to be free speech absolutists are in fact just...absolutists.

SadiraOfTyr · 14/06/2026 09:13

Why did they choose to go to Brighton to stage their march? It is an overwhelmingly liberal city that would not be welcoming or supportive to those who travelled there to march.

Why not choose somewhere like Crawley, or Dover where they would have been welcomed and where people rank immigration much higher as a local issue?

Unless the whole point of the march was to provoke a reaction and generate drama and clicks?

You really can’t bring yourself to condemn the stabbing of young girls, rape and beheading can you?

I see. So your strategy in this discussion is to bleat about people accusing you of being far right, while accusing me with no basis whatsoever of refusing to condemn these heinous acts? How ridiculous of you.
For the record, I condemn them entirely. I just don't see the need to align myself with the far right ranters to do so. And if you had any sense, and really are a 'just concerned decent moderate' you'd take a leaf out of my book. Because everytime these people represent your cause you hemorrhage support.

There was quite a bizarre incident in Brighton during/after a ‘Let Women Speak’ meeting in 2022. A staffer of an MP was shouting at a man holding a baby, saying something like ‘you’re raising a little fascist’.

Poor little baby, having someone basically calling them a little fascist.

Hasn’t Reform already promised to only place future asylum accommodation in areas that do not elect a Reform MP?

Absolutely agree. Those making the decisions and their liberal leftist supporters don't live in the neighbourhoods where the asylum seekers are housed.

I have no idea about that. My idea is much better as the neighbourhoods in favour can be selected to be asylum welcome centres. Must be over half the country I'd say.

Oh but many of them say they do, yet they and their daughters have never experienced any problems. Anybody who really lives in close proximity of asylum seekers wouldn't be boasting about feeling safe as females.

Brighton is welcome to all the refugees if they want them so much.

My daughter has to walk past a hotel that houses refugees on her way to college. Every day there are disgusting sexual comments shouted at girls by the refugee men who stand around smoking in large groups. Girls that aren’t in large group with lads have been approached and inappropriately touched.

I don’t want them here, send them to Brighton, if Brighton are so keen to have them.

Well done! Yes! 👏 👍🏼

I think that’s Reform policy now 😬

I want net zero immigration, and for the migrants admitted to have clean criminal records from dependable countries and no history of being raised in an extremely misogynistic and violent community. I don’t see why this is remotely controversial.

Yes. So a vote for anyone else but Reform is essentially the tick box being mooted by pp.

I see Farage has now said that foreign nationals living in social housing will be evicted and be given three months to find private accommodation or face being deported under a Reform UK government.

He really is a despicable bastard.

Well, I presume that that something to do with keeping her job. Not a good look to the wider public to be screaming in the face of a baby, and allude to said baby as being a fascist. I suspect it had to be addressed as it was caught on camera. No getting out of that one, or pretending it was misrepresented.

A public apology was indeed the very least such a person could have done in this instance, and it was probably for her own interests.

5MinuteArgument · 14/06/2026 09:31

There's two sides to this arguement:

One is we have plenty of murderers and rapists in this country already so it's OK to let in more. Anyone who gets murdered or raped by an asylum seeker or person granted LTR is collateral damage.

The other is we have plenty of murderers and rapists in this country already, so let's not allow in any more.

To be honest the first one seems quite callous.

Agreed. She is a nasty idiot and I would have sacked her.
