Civil unrest, what's really going on?

[Sadworld23]

My DH keeps chirping up with, there's riots here, protests there, immigrants have done assaults in xxx etc. He sees me as a bit of a do-gooder..

All UK places, but when I look at my regular news, there's very little reporting of it.

My DH has some MH issues currently and to confront him with 'what the heck are you reading?' isn't worth it right now.
I make comments such as, ooh that sounds grim and doesn't sound good, and that's very worrying, but I'd really like to know if it's really happening and where he's getting this info.

Can you answer my questions above?

I'm really impressed with posters who still have the energy to deal with all this nonsense that's been posted here.

thanks to @Nchangeo and @JamesMacGill you've made a lot of points that I would've made if I had checked in on the thread of the last couple of days

it's practically unreadable now

My ancestors escaped men from some of the countries where we're welcoming them now. It gives me no pleasure to say that certain countries have a worse misogynistic culture. But there is a scale. I mean, there's stoning to death for Gods sake!

It's horrible for people who have escaped particular backgrounds to find the same situations following them here. In fact, I think that's contributed quite a lot to the gang violence in Sweden? Not claiming to be an expert who has a load of figures.

So being careful about the process of taking in refugees and asylum seekers is essential.

But there's a type of person who always wants to twist it into some sort of crazy prejudice. I think @Nchangeo is spot-on in saying that these sorts of posters should write to the home office and suggest large facilities on their streets. Some people are genuinely fine with it and that's great.

You do need to be a certain age to have say 15 years of experience of living near such accommodation, But for whatever reason, the situation is very different now than it was 15 or 20 years ago.

i'm not gonna check on this thread again. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long before being attacked by bad actors.

You can’t, in other words.

Oh, and really, really shit manipulation of statistics that proves zip all. Forgot to add that one, apologies.

If you could answer them, you would. You can’t; so you’re pretending it’s because they’re ’unacceptable questions’. You look very silly indeed.

Oh, I’ll live

Yes but you’ve shown yourself up to the extent your presence on this thread is basically untenable.

I mean, is that supposed to make me sad, or something? Ok, I’m….

Can I say I am very much in favour of @saucery being on the thread. Doing a great job in shining a light.

No, no, no, let them speak

sad]

Sorry, I can’t keep the up. I’ve been on MN for 16 years-ish and this your presence on this thread is basically untenable. is one of the funniest attempted put downs I’ve ever come across

Posting lots of smileys and frantically detracting from the fact you can’t answer the most basic questions to support your argument won’t work.

Not on anything relevant. I asked some very basic, logical questions and she can’t answer them. Neither will you, or anyone, I suspect.

It was me 😬😘

Guilty as charged 😂

No one knows any of this but you are tarring everyone with the same brush, despite having never been to any of these countries nor i suspect having ever met an Afghan or Syrian migrant....

We are having to take in many more Afghan migrants due to mis management of data bases by the previous Tory Govt.....

My Mum was cared for by a Syrian migrant nurse, after her stroke, my neighbour has some lovely men from Africa care for her.... her words not mine.... so i have a different take to you.

Btw where would house migrants securely and what would you do with the ones we cannot deport?

<little face of Not Smiley>

I’ll let you off! 😂

All completely irrelevant to what I wrote.

Who can’t we deport?

Not on anything relevant

Such as statistics from….<checks notes> ….Sweden?
British men being rapists but that’s ok (somehow).
The entire population of Bedford being involved (again, not sure how, but such incisive posts must surely mean something?)

I’ve learned over the years that if your position can’t withstand the most gentle of questioning, it’s probably the wrong one.

Sweden is a comparable country with comparable immigration.

Never mentioned British men.

You clearly can’t understand basic comparisons.

You’re being faux naive now and everyone can see it.

It’s probably just me, but that sentence just gave me the total ick <shudder>
