This migrant problem is going to let Reform in isn’t it?

Honestly it’s such a bloody nightmare. Reform are making a total hash of local government from what I’ve read, putting teenagers in charge of whole departments with no relevant experience. What are they going to do if they are elected to run a country!!!! I’m honestly terrified. Labour need to be seen to be actively doing something to quell the far-right momentum that’s gaining traction from ordinary folk. I’m amazed at the average, usually pretty sensible people around me who are now telling me they are going to vote Reform.

there was an interview I saw yesterday where the minister said that thousands of people were being deported regularly. The interviewer asked why there were no videos of this and she said there could be. Well let’s see it! It would absolutely help.

No issue with that/. Most of the things that work well in the country are private. Most of the things that are shit are public. A privately run NHS would be amazing. Many of us already have private health care and it is considerably better than the NHS. Some people seem to think the NHS is untouchable when really it a massive money pit of incompetence.

A privately run NHS would be amazing.

It would also be far more expensive per patient. I've had private treatment and can see where the extra money goes.

Does the evidence that the protests have been orchestrated by neo nazi groups not concern you?

You could just as easily say that the counter protests are organised by hard-left communists and therefore all people against the Epping protests are Stalinists. No doubt there’ll be some wrong’uns on either side. The article posted earlier about neo-Nazis was quoting Hope Not Hate, and they have their own agenda, too.

You could say that indeed, except it would be a lie. Unless you have evidence?

There is however evidence of this

Local schoolchildren made a banner saying "Epping welcomes all except racists". The Homeland Party [their Norfolk organiser] says his members have taken and burnt it, sharing the image of burning the anti-racist message on social media, to emphasise their commitment to racism.

I have no words. The school got a letter wrong. You would think they knew how to spell.

Is that your concern rather than racist protesting alongside concerned parents?

You are not condemning the actions of the racists

Being against racism isn't taking sides, it's being a decent human being.

Is that banner just parents and dc rather than a school? Not sure where the first quote is from but the tweet says local parents and children

I was reading the NYTimes and several spokespeople in an article condemned the ?Police in black hoodies and masks who arrest immigrants and stick them in holding buildings prior to deportation from the US.
All the top voted readers’ comments at the end of the article were in favour and anti immigration -I was shocked

Im voting reform because of the migrant crisis. I don't care how much a mess of the uk reform make, the migrant crisis is worse.

Strawberrri · 28/07/2025 21:49

^^ that’s how I feel and will do the same

Genuinely couldn't care if reform abolish the NHS, raise taxes, whatever. This invasion needs controlling

Why is there so much faith here in Farage? He is basically Boris Johnson in a different wig. He is extremely rich, and as such, behaves with impunity, because he knows he can. Why does anyone think he has any more integrity than Johnson? And what evidence is there that he will actually tackle immigration?

What choice is left? Tories were rubbish over 14 years, labour have been simply awful over the last year. Let's give reform a go.

A deal with france to have British and French troops slash the boats on the beaches.
Stop the financial handouts/hotels etc, house them in tents' they'll stop themselves.
Remove the free health care.

Tent camps? Where, in your town?

Yeah. Will vote for anyone most likely to sort this mess out. Its existential.

For millions of us it'll be a one issue election.

If they don't have legal status to stay then they shouldn't be in the country. The soft approach leaves you like the UK, or like American under Biden which is what got Trump back in. Funny how Clinton and even Obama deported all kinds of illegals without fuss.

They'd suffer a lot more if they broke into Saudi Arabia or Dubai or somewhere. Most countries actually do take border control seriously and aren't as lily livered as the once proud UK.

It's going to be a single issue election next time
The winner being who we think will best sort this mess out

Send the SAS in to destroy the dinghy factories. Most are coming from Germany!!! Push / tow the boats back. Job done.
Limit numbers from Muslim countries.
