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 don't agree with any violent protest of any kind.

You do know that makes no sense?

The policeman in question was not ‘just one sick weirdo’ (not a description I would have used for him); there was more than one involved in Nowak’s death and they were folllwing procedures they were trained in. it was those attitudes that lead to thousands of young white girls being left to be raped by grooming gangs.

I’m afraid I’m not going to pretend that capitalism isn’t the construct we are operating within here. Brighton is a commercially viable seaside town. Many of the areas that are asylum seeker heavy are those who have unviable economies and therefore empty hotels. It’s not rocket science.

Sorry @Dandelionsalad I was amused at the description of @PinkandPerky peacemakers. These would be the same peacemakers who batter women and tell the likes of Sharon Davies and JKR to STFU!

Yes just do this. An easy win.

Wow! What an unbelievable thing to say.

You mean the hotels ( which are really ex hotels) that the Tories approved for this when they were in power?

Oh sorry - I forgot you were part of the 'tar everyone with the same brush' brigade.

You really don't recognise nuance do you?

Canary Wharf has a hotel. There’s no way the area is not subject to the capitalism you cite.

Are you in Brighton but don’t want the hotels there?

Good grief, we are not living in the 1980s. Builders in general do not behave like that - they would get sacked immediately!

Interesting that your first reaction is to suggest that the teenage girls being harassed by these men change their behaviour. How about we tell the men to change their behaviour or get deported immediately. They’ve got to learn at some point.

And while I’m thinking of that, why is our bar so low on behaviour expectations of immigrant men? We have the power to remove them, we should be demanding exemplary behaviour - zero rapes, murders or beheadings.

Absolutely well said 👏

So what are you doing when you call anyone to the right of centre far right?

Well done Brighton and Belfast. England's world cup starting soon which will hopefully distract some of the anti immigrant protests, let's hope England do well because we all know what happens to many women when they don't.

What's wrong with being far right?

It makes perfect sense

I haven't called anyone far right. You are making things up now.

We don't have mass immigration. As the figures presented up thread have shown, it's down on previous years by a huge margin. We currently have too little to staff hospitals and to pay the whopping great fees that overseas students put into the university system to keep it alive.
And as I've said upthread as well, I am in a refugee welcoming area and we have actually welcomed them, rather than seeing them as the enemy.

It's weird the impact MN can have on one's political views.

I clicked on this thread's ambiguous title feeling curious what it was about. Then I read through the discussion, and came to this post, and bang, I am absolutely furious.

If groups of young men harass female passers-by, then action needs to be taken against the men. If the UK solution is going to be telling women to change their behaviour to avoid the men harassing them in the street, then maybe other posters are right and this country can't handle current levels of immigration.

I can't believe what I've just read. But thanks for radicalising me.

Are you far right? I know I'm not. I am right wing but not a bigot. I treat people on individual ideal merit. Far right is an accusation to shut down debate about immigration and women's rights.

No, the vile view is you dismissing the fact that if it wasn’t for Rhiannon working in an asylum hotel and coming into contact with an evil man who should t have been here , she’d be alive and her little boy would still have his mummy.

Its always the poorest

What are you on about? Who has said those things?

Is that what that poster did? I've missed some of the posts.

In what way was she a bigot? She made an observation. 1.5 million eastern Europeans arrived in this country between 2004-2010. A very noticeable influx of people. It put a strain on local and national infrastructure and would have been something worthy of pointing out to the prime minister at the time.
