Refugees

Am I wrong to feel the people of this country are using the "Cost of Living" narrative to justify not helping migrants and refugees who seek refuge for themselves? Neglecting our British values, passing the buck to Rwanda and European countries. The attitude towards those fleeing war zones and risking everything to come to this country on harsh waters is outrageous!

I was in the corner shop today and over heard a couple of women making digs about foreigners. To make unjustified claims such as "it makes us unsafe", "we don't have jobs" or my personal favourite - "they don't integrate into society." What on earth has happened to our British values? To make others feel welcome and to help others in need of help!

Every human has a right to safety, affordable housing, food, water, education and a healthcare system. Those are all things our wonderful country can provide and quite frankly has a moral obligation to provide for those coming from other parts of the world that aren't as fortunate as us.

Not at all.

Ok, retract that statement "you literally enslaved.."

My apologies, your ancestors. They invaded every land known to man and then complain when Muslims turning up looking for help in the countries that was built by forced labour.

You have no idea who my ancestors were, or where they originated. Or my ethnicity.
It's actually very funny!

@InayaWoo "Muslims do believe in equality, many do lag behind but that doesn’t mean they aren’t changing. "

I think that having public executions in Saudi is a bit more than 'lagging behind'. They're so 'far behind' you couldn't see them through a telescope!

"Britons go to Dubai, Morocco and other Muslim nations."

What's that got to do with anything?

They go for holidays or work, not to live permanently because that isn't allowed.

Disgusting.

It's free speech which is allowed in UK.

If you don't like it try China or Russia !

Bululu · 04/02/2024 11:08

My take is that you hate British people. Only has bad things to say but want all your people to move here? How do they called that in history? 🤐

We’re working to make Britain more tolerant. I didn’t say intolerant, I don’t think that. Trot off? I’m a citizen, like you.

'We're working' -

And who are 'we' exactly?

Actually, it’s degenerate racism in a multicultural Britain. No place for it!

So you don't think you need to apologise for something you said that wasn't correct?

So it's okay for you to accuse another person personally for being racist and when they aren't you don't think you owe that person an apology?

Maireas · 04/02/2024 11:13

Nice.
Well, I'm off. Pick on someone else with your offensive accusations.

As a fellow Muslim, shame on you, you don't represent the majority of Muslims who are respectful and quietly practice their faith without wanting to impose ideals on other people
