What would the Left call the Right, if the small boat people were white?

I'll start by saying, I am very anti open boarders, and I am horrified that so many illegal immigrants are arriving every day. But for me, it has absolutely nothing to do with skin colour, it is more to do with :

ONE) They have no documentation, and we have no idea if they have criminal backgrounds

TWO) They tend to come from cultures where women are not respected

THREE) They often come from places where rape is not a crime

FOUR) They cannot work, and it is costing Millions to house, feed and clothe them

FIVE) We are granting asylum to some people who should never get it - like the Hamas bodyguard we heard of yesterday

Lots of valid reasons I feel, however, for me, it has nothing to do with skin colour. If I had to be locked in a room overnight with a white man from a backward culture, or a black man from the UK, I would choose the latter, every single time.

It isn't colour, it's culture

But I see that people on the Far Left just scream "Racist" to anyone who opposes illegal immigration. What would they scream, if all the small boats were full of white men? And would people still march for England?

Yes. And as a result of this and the unwanted mass immigration of undocumented unknown men, the UK will get a far right wing government (sadly, I'd prefer Kemi). It'll be like Trump in the US. And frankly - the left wing loons have only themselves to blame. As we can see from some of the replies on this thread.

The women who prioritise unknown undocumented young male immigrants from countries where sexual violence against women is not unusual, where women are second class citizens, are the racist ones - without question.

These women think that ‘people of colour’ can‘t be victimised as they are always the victims, by nature of the fact they are not white. To them the oppressor is by default, the white person. It’s idiotic. And unforgivable when the safety of UK women and girls is at unnecessary risk.

There are places where white people, have never set foot that people of colour have been oppressing people of colour for years. Black people have oppressed black people - black on black slavery anyone? No didn't think so. Somalis killing Somalis. Syrians killing Syrians, Iraqis killing Iraqis, Arabs killing Arabs - Muslims killing Muslims. And yet.

Apparently Islamic terror threats/ investigation take up 75% of the MI5 security budget. Imagine what we don't see because of work they are doing.

Makes me sick to the stomach. But this is what is happening before our eyes.

👏 👏 love when other women refuse to be gaslit by persistent attempts (on a female forum).

I see some are particularly wound-up this morning. Blimey.

Talk about 'omnicausing' (your words LuckyHazelFox).

My refusal to feed into this narrative that the 1% of asylum seekers are currently the greatest threat to UK women, is hardly 'infatada.' What on earth are you ranting about now? What does Israel or Palestine have to do with this? You are the ones 'omnicausing.' it's insane to read.

Nearly all women arriving on small boats have been raped, says Shabana Mahmood. On the plus side, their rapists are now living in your community in HMOs, free to wander about your town and do as they please at your expense and it'll take years to get rid of them if we ever get rid of them at all. Every cloud.

Me too.

And aside from the sexual assault risk increase. Things like hugely increased airport security, concrete bollards being installed on bridges / around buildings of importance, rucksacks being checked at museums all the things we've become used to / accepted. Are only there as a result of Islamic terror. Changed our way of life in Europe. And continues to do so.

Wth. And how many boats are women only?

Not at all. For clarity would you keep the asylum system as it is?

Those diversity and inclusion barriers contribute greatly to Britain's rich tapestry I think you'll find. The danger of being murdered by a deranged Islamic terrorist is part and parcel of living in a big city.

That's true actually. Thanks for the reminder.

storyinside · 05/10/2026 09:44

I don't think in terms of 'sides' @LuckyHazelFox . Sorry if that's confounding.

People are allowed to disagree with this need to characterise boat people as rapists without being infatada/leftist-idealogues/queersforPalestine/antisemitic/rape-apologist/Green Or Labour Party voters.....

Can you at least accept that.

Speaking of which, let's hope he decides not to stand for a yet another term. Between now and 2028, I can only hope.

Back on topic: a whole town of 80,000 citizens, Gosport, was put into lockdown by the police to facilitate the arrival of another boatload from Normandy yesterday. British citizens put under curfew in their own town. Is that right?

This didn't happen. There was no curfew. There was no lockdown. Protestors were asked to move to a dedicated area, and you were not allowed to wear face coverings while protesting. That's it. Lies like this are helping whip up the anti-immigration feeling.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 05/10/2026 09:53

They are not immigrants. They have entered the country illegally and unlawfully. How many countries have you entered without a passport?

No. It's the up to 800 unknown undocumented young men from female unfriendly countries, arriving on our shores each day, being given free housing, and benefits, that's doing that. All by itself.

Anyone and everyone would want small boat crossings to end . Lives are being lost at sea and (whatever you may think of them), these people are being exploited by criminal gangs. Why is this even a question?

The wider point is, small boat crossings are only 1% of migrants. So what about the other 99%? If men from 'those countries' are a sexual threat - then what? Are you going to block legal immigration for those countries? Is that what you are really advocating for? Because, even aside from immigrants, millions of men from 'those countries' pass though the UK every week - on business, students, tourists.... Is an Iranian businessman with a passport less likely to rape a woman than one without a passport who came by boat? Answer: no. And, for that matter, the Iranian businessman is no more likely to be a rapist than a man from anywhere else. But let's all focus on the 1%.

Ok so you want the crossings to end, as does ‘everyone else’. How will that happen?

Dozens! I don't need a passport to travel around most of Europe.

And until they have been processed (and all of them will be), you don't know whether they have passports or are here illegally.

So they are not here illegally you say? Why didn't they come to an airport or train station with their passport then?

storyinside · 05/10/2026 10:05

I've no idea how govts can completely stop the crossings. Sadly, I doubt they can and that includes Reform. Even if all the boats stopped tomorrow, there would probably be illegal immigration by some other routes that were less visible.

Looking through this thread it is nasty. The drip drip drip of passive aggression from that poster and others. It is a form of abuse actually, in real life.
