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.

You can, if they’re not white. Remember Shamima Begum? Born in London. Citizenship stripped.

So if the Tories can get away with it, it’s terrifying to think what Reform or Restore would do.

What exactly are you terrified of? Men who commit heinous violent crimes being deported? Surely, that can only be a good thing? I just don't understand your logic.

She wasn't in the UK when it happened. And why are you trying to defend someone who literally went and joined ISIS. These things are exceptionally rare and they have carefully play with UN mandates to not make her stateless. Legally they say she can become a Bengali citizen.

And look at the case of Mark Bullen. Former coper, someone who is "white" and had his citizenship stripped.

No. Men being deported after doing nothing wrong. Just for being non white. Then women and children.

Restore has links to white nationalists and ethnonationalists , it’s clear what their agenda is.

I'm obviously missing your point. What's restore or reform got to do with anything? I don't know why anyone would object to migrants who commit serious crime being deported. Their ethnicity is irrelevant.

She was 15. Old enough to know terrorism was wrong.

There's a very high bar to lose your citizenship for non fraud reasons

I'm not terrified to think people linked to terrorist organisations cannot step foot back on British soil. I know you've deliberately used that extreme example.

Nice try, but the removal of citizenship from Shamima Begum has been challenged legally again and again, and consistently found to be valid, so the only thing left iss to campaign for the relevant laws to be changed

I am happy for a young teenager to pay the price for an extremely serious act if it means keeping this country safe. Even though MI5 report Islamic extremism as being the biggest threat in the UK, people are daft enough to want to risk national security for these radicalised people.

I was trying (obviously less than successfully) to make the point that we have plenty of home grown violent sexual offenders, but some people only focus on the migrants, @EasternStandard.

It's a good thing someone is, no?

The moralisers of our age have re-categorised violent immigrant rapists as worthy of our sympathy because of their culture and the colour of their skin and their victims as irrelevant for exactly the same reason.

I mean I got that but do you really think say the people in Ceuta should accept the extra violence because Spanish people can’t be deported?

It seems an odd way to say women should just be ok with it.

Well, she was originally purported to have dual citizenship. Tbh, I wouldn't really give a fuck if they dumped people like her into the sea. She was helping sew women into suicide vests so they couldn't escape if they had a change of heart. I doubt she'd have been so repentant had she not found herself in a tough situation.

It's nothing to do with colour. Samantha Lewthwaite "The White Widow" was equally reviled whilst we have a former PM and leader of the opposition who aren't white.

The most terrifying thing is people who put the rights of those who want to kill us over our own.

There's a good argument that we should deport the terrorist sympathisers too. 🤣🤣🤣

"A drug dealing Jamaican asylum seeker, living in the UK attacked a woman with a chisel during a burglary and was jailed for 30 months in 2005. The Judge put him down for deportation. When he was freed, Blair's Government forgot to deport him. In 2007 the Home Office finally tried to deport him but he kept appealing and he was still here in 2015. Then he broke down the door of Leighann Duffy. He stabbed her 14 times IN FRONT OF HER 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. He even hit the child with a hammer when she tried to protect her mummy. Leighann died 2 days later. Most of you will not have heard of this victim or her murderer. This Home Office failure cost Leighann Duffy her life. But in the last 12 months the Home Office passed 200,000 asylum applications at the rate of one per minute. I wonder how many mistakes they made in that lot? Please take a minute to remember Leighann and her daughter."

This is Lloyd Byfield, 48. So 8 years of lawyers and appeals, no doubt tax-payer funded, keeping this murderer in the country. His act itself should have been enough to render him defenceless against deportation. And the dizzying rate of asylum application passes should be always mentioned when some preening politician is going on about how immigration has dropped.

All the more reason not to 'import' any more.

angelos02 · 03/09/2026 14:44

I just don't understand why we are falling over ourselves to let people stay. If in doubt, ship 'em out. Deal with the consequences (if there are any) later. It is pathetic.

I don't get the point.
Yes, European men also commit heinous crimes and no-one's disputing that. But to say that rape is a measure of how European a man is, is just plain bonkers.
