How has MN become so racist

Why not just move them to where people are happy
to have them . Perhaps the PP on this thread can share their address .
The problem is no-one wants them , not France not us .

Who do you mean by 'them'?

I don’t mind if some want to have mass accommodation nearby to them. If they could let their MP know

All of it until you provide some research.

Well it's not all MN is it? Probably no different from the general population.

Always has been. One of the most transphobic and racist forums about. This fact will annoy a lot of these people, but it’s just how it is.

If you were in Piddington would you do as the majority have and signed a no or would you be in the tiny amount who didn’t?

The Australians probably share religion and cultural values

So Muslims are more likely to commit sex offences? Do you have any data which supports this?

Signed a no? Like a petition?

I never sign petitions, so I wouldn’t have

Me personally? Well I live in Bristol, we do have anti migrant marches here. I am too old to get involved in anti marches myself but I definitely support them. In a leafy village I expect I would just keep my head down unless someone specifically asked for an opinion.

96% have signed a version of a way to say no. In leafy Lib Dem Piddington. I wonder how many mners who are apparently aghast at those who say no would do the same.

If the UK has to house them then there's no reason why the leafy village NIMBYs shouldn't take their share.

Just a thought... wealthy areas and country villages don't usually have blocks of social housing so where would they be accommodated? It is different in cities due to rooms available in hostels and hotels.

I haven't noticed that myself tbh, but I tend to be a bit sporadic on here.

Cultural integration is an issue in countries that welcomed these groups with open arms. I’m not sure we have the stomach for it.

Which countries did you have in mind?

No idea, but I don't work for the government 🤷‍♂️

I'm sure they'll sort it out just.

Guess you'll have to wait and see.

Build a barracks style building? They’re not being housed in social housing anywhere else either

He is going to raise the caps on rent so they can be housed in HMOs in wealthier areas apparently

Pure virtue signalling

How could the poster have expressed these sentiments without virtue signalling would you say?

Beesandhoney123 · Yesterday 13:17

I dont think its racist to be concerned about large numbers of young men suddenly being put into temporary accomadation in tiny villages whilst their aslym claims are being investigated. The issue is more that we dont have the money, infratructure, and culture- and being a capitalist country, not keen to be even more strapped ourselves and less opportunities ourselves, our children etc. Are extra police being drafted in to help?

Its thousands of people. Then if they are accepted, its more families being accepted, many non working people having to learn a new language, new culture, new social norms.

How long does this process take, who is paying for it, and why arent all the countries suffering from mass illegal arrivals putting pressure on the home country to put a stop to it?

They could write to their MP asking for accommodation nearby them. More effective and I’m sure politicians would be happy to hear who is keen.

I applaud this decision. It's easy for people in the wealthier areas to have bleeding hearts when they aren't crammed around these people, who are shoved into areas that are already overcrowded and underfunded.
Ultimately I dont want anyone coming in, illegal or not; my only caveat is if they already have qualifications for roles we need filling, e.g health, caring, education.

Which people do you not like coming in?

Australians? Kiwis? White South Africans? French?
