This is some dystopian lord of the flies hell. Those poor women. Burned on the boat. Wth. Poor man stabbed to death. Why are the people that did this then going to be roaming free in the UK? Why are they allowed to enter the UK in the first place? Why are gangs not being 'smashed'?

Why won't the government tell us the truth about their crime rates?

Channel chaos as migrant dies, two women burned and one stabbed on same boat

Forty-five of those on board continued towards the UK and were picked up by a British rescue vessel.

I just posted (or so I thought) a new thread, but it’s not showing.

I don’t think I want to be part of this site anymore where insults are staying up for a good twelve hours whereas I’ve already had two posts deleted and now my thread is not showing.

What is the point?

Did your thread mention a particular currency which is digital? That would get it hidden automatically.

Eta: you need to email mnhq or ask in site stuff. The @ won't work.

No, not at all.

It was about ‘celebrities’/ famous people getting involved in politics.

But thank you for asking, I appreciate it.

GunnelVallquist · 01/09/2026 18:27

Ah ok, just seen your edit.

Thank you, but I don’t think I’ll bother.

Thank you anyway.

You are worried that so many people are worried about women and girls being at a higher risk of being raped, due to mass uncontrolled immigration of unknown undocumented males?

Jesus. I'm not sure what to say. Beyond belief. You could be male I suppose.

The offending rate of immigrants is less than of the same age British.

Liberal luvvies have no idea about the danger. I laugh at the likes of Susan Sarondon and Emma Thompson.

I’m quite interested in why too, although emailing is a faff they might reply.

Have you e-mailed Mumsnet HQ to ask why ?

You should email them and ask why. I know its a faff, but don't take it lying down.
If nothing else, you might learn if its a certain word or phrase that they won't accept.
Discussing immigration without getting deleted on MN is an art form sadly.

Don't leave though. I've waited 20 years for MN to reflect both sides of politics.

If I didn’t want to be sent back to my home country, I’d make sure I had no documentation to show where I came from

So you think they're good people to have in our country?

"British" means anyone from anywhere in the world.

MaturingCheeseball · 02/09/2026 08:30

Well, yesterday I spoke to someone at an event and they came from… Piddington. This was a normal person, not a “far right” racist or whatever; they said everyone is really worried . This person had a dd and they said that what is worrying people is that the men can wander freely - day, night, and anywhere they like. They said people are getting extra security on their houses and gates/fences etc. They said the powers that be are completely silent, don’t care and won’t listen.

Labour using far right as a defence is nonsense. Not even the most loyal Labourites would sign up for the same. They just go quiet and expect Piddington to do it so they don’t have to.

EasternStandard · 02/09/2026 08:42

The people in Ceuta aren’t far right either. Some headlines from there on the situation today.

This is absolutely untrue. Do you understand the idea of proportionately? Of course there will be more British men as there are more British men! It is per capita. Basic stats.

Yes, they have a habit of going quiet when news breaks that doesn't sit right with them.

To be fair, the person you are replying to does seem to understand proportionality, hence their use of the phrase "offending RATE". It is reasonable to adjust figures to compare groups of same age, I.e. young recently arrived men with young men in the population as a whole.

Whether the assertion is true or not I don't know although the posters claim idoes seem to apply to all immigrants rather than young men arriving on boats.

Weak governments from Blair onwards

to add - will make me vote Restore or Reform regardless of the idiots running these parties - it's a last hope of someone doing something

I don't consider Rupert an idiot he is the only man actually willing to do what he says.
