Today in Brighton the facsists turned up. Brighton barely let them out of the station. Well done Brighton !

[00K]

I want to live there

I reckon Mumsnet has been infiltrated by this propaganda unit:

The views on here don’t represent the views of anyone I’ve encountered in real life.

I would imagine that it’s the complete opposite. It is the left that are generally younger and thus more likely to be on social media than the right. So online voting will be skewed in favour of the left. For example, if you scroll on TikTok for half an hour you might think that there was a lot of support for eg males pretending to be females. But in my own real life experience, I do not know a SINGLE person who supports this. Not one. I don’t limit who I speak to either, there just isn’t any supporters (that I know of) in my town. This was apparent in the recent local elections where it was discovered that there are huge numbers of reform voters, they’re just not online.

Someone saying 'migrants welcome' isn't saying 'we want loads of illegal immigrants'.

Many of those campaigning this way are open border extremists. They don’t believe there is such a thing as an illegal immigrant; they think anyone should be allowed to come to this country and once here receive benefits. They don’t believe there should be ANY barriers to entry.

They also seem to have complete lack
of understanding of basic maths - like the Green aspiring politician who refused to accept having another couple of million people living here might put additional
pressure on housing.

No, I think there are just a lot of middle class women in naice areas who like to flaunt their left wing credentials on here tbh, and call other women liars.

We're going the way of Germany. In 2015 the govt invited over a million migrants from middle east and Africa. It was called Wilkomenkulture. Anyone who voiced concerns was shouted down.

Then they had mass sexual assaults in Cologne, multiple murders and rapes carried out bt refugees and terrorist attacks on Christmas markets.

Now there are 152 far right AFD members sitting in the German parliament. People are sick of all the denial.

The dispersion of asylum seekers is surely more to do with where it is cheap to house them? If your question is does London take its fair share of asylum seekers, it takes 15% - as greater London is approximately 0.65% of UK in geographical terms - everything seems perfectly in order? If anything we take a very high proportion. Brighton apparently only houses 65, so they should definitely house some more. Sounds like they are up for it, which is great.

Absolutely. I have met people like this. Clueless.

Wow you know where everybody on MN lives. Incredible!!!

If you think ‘I’ve met people like this’ is equivalent to ‘I KNOW EVERYONE ON THIS WEBSITE!’ then your debate skills are so poor you can’t take part.

…anyone? 🍂

I don’t believe anything I read on the internet. Especially on a site like this, which is known to be influential. Of course it’s going to be infiltrated by agitators and anyone with an agenda. It’s the easiest way of influencing the gullible public.

Drip, drip, drip.

Agree it makes sense for Brighton to do more. Their numbers are low and they are keen.

That’s not quite right. Re asylum seekers Brighton has :-

Adults in Accommodation: Around 130 people are supported in Home Office asylum accommodation at any given time.
Children in Care: The council cares for around 53 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children.
Hotel Use: The use of contingency hotels to house asylum seekers in Brighton has dropped significantly. There are now only about 55 asylum seekers remaining in local hotels, which is a steep decline from previous peaks

It’s also a city of sanctuary

Brighton is clearly doing it’s bit.

It's pretty galling seeing people like Fatboy slim , with his gated property and private beachfront out supporting asylum seekers when 3 of them beat and raped a woman on the public beach in Brighton just a few months ago.
How many rapes/murders are we ok with before something has to change? UK citizens are becoming collateral damage due to repeated inept governing.
Of course we all know there are many genuine, non criminal asylum seekers but many are dangerous criminals, likely wanted in their own country or just mentally ill for those raised in uncivilised countries at civil war, but equally as dangerous as we've seen.
We have to have robust screening to ensure we are not inviting dangerous people in.
We also don't have the mental health resources for suicidal teenagers here in the UK so how are we going to support the huge increase in mental health care requirements for all the traumatised asylum seekers?

She doesn’t “have to”, she could probably avoid it taking a different route. She could also report it to the police.

This is also true when it happens walking past a building site.

Somebody mentioned student accomodation in Brighton and I hear that university is less attractive than an apprenticeship these days so student numbers may start dropping...

Or mixed..

And sadly in many high schools and pubs . But Reform don’t want to do anything about that do they- it’s all a bit of banter mate, we’re lovely geezers really.

Girls shouldn’t have to resolve it. Politicians can.

I’d imagine as Brighton make up 0.3 of the UK in geographical terms, this may be a possible driver for low AS numbers. That and hotels do very well in Brighton all year round, so there may be an element of practicality. It’s easier to place asylum seekers where we have empty hotels and failing economies? Do you agree?

No go with the keenest areas. Brighton and where some of the earlier keen posters are.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring.

Based on the 2021 census 20% of the population of Brighton and Hove were born outside the UK. It’s probably higher by now. That’s substantially higher than the UK average so it seems that immigrants are already welcome there and are integrating well. I go there a lot for gigs and hear accents from all over.

Just read first few answers so googled Fascist/Fascism meaning. Have copied and pasted it for anyone interested!

Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology and system of government characterized by:

Dictatorial leadership — power concentrated in a single leader or small ruling group.

Extreme nationalism — the nation, state, or race is viewed as more important than individual rights.

Suppression of opposition — political opponents, independent media, and dissent are often censored or repressed.

Militarism and glorification of force — military strength, discipline, and violence may be celebrated as tools of national renewal.

Limited political freedoms — democratic institutions and civil liberties are weakened or eliminated.

State control and coordination — while private property may remain, the state often exerts strong control over the economy and society.
