I looked into ‘Stop The Boats’ specifically and I believe the findings are that the citizens of The United Kingdom want to stop all nonlegal immigration not stop all immigration as a whole. The head of The Labour Party that won in ‘24, actually called it out and said they should target gangs so, we don’t need to worry about the boats. That the movement was misguided.
I will say we don’t want to stop all nonlegal immigration , though some of us are complacent with children being ripped from arms of their parents , children being deported when they came here for medical treatment , also those that left their country for asylum because their government has it out for them where our governments are fair and free (by comparison).
We should treat illegal activity as criminal , though we should also have compassion because the people we send back aren’t drug lords or in gangs or violent bastards once you look into their background. So why not cherry pick?
I believe we should make legal immigration easier so, it can go from US V. THEM to only US. Every wave of immigrants got sh-t thrown at them from Irish, Italian, Catholic, Jewish, Russian, French, etc. from my perspective as an American.
We should open our hearts , though still fight illegal activity. What I see in my country is dead wrong. They are making a prison in Florida to house people in an alligator swamp which will cost millions of our nation’s dollars to maintain while it would be cheaper to send them back where they came from. This is inhuman.
Lip service because in the end they put them up in hotels, feed them, give them money and state housing, even PlayStations
I was thinking about this today, and surely the only moral thing a government can do is listen to the will of the people. People have been shouting and screaming about this for many years, voting for severely limiting immigration. As @genericname85 says, this is a very dangerous game, for the population is becoming increasingly angry. Those on the left like to blame those on the right, for everything, for not being compassionate enough. They will be the arbiters of their own downfall, and of any 'extreme' correction (as it turns out, 'extreme' these days is just wanting controlled immigration). Because they would not listen, the people have been screaming out in suffering for years and years. Their standards of living have tanked. They told their own populations not to reproduce because of climate change. People in their 20s, 30s and 40s can't afford to get onto the property ladder. Therefore, can't afford to have children. An entire generation has been wiped out, and replaced with the third world. Western cultures are being decimated. And those in the political class still have their fingers in their ears, chattering away in the most chimpish fashion.
It is grotesque.
yes i agree completely. if your nations problem is declining birthrates, the fix isn't to let in every criminal from any country all over the world. they keep claiming it's all about "importing qualified professionals to compensate for the lack of qualified labour", but really what is getting in is wellfare cases and knife stabbers from poor shithole countries who are laughing their ass off for the consequences awaiting them here, when their behavior at home would get them litterally just killed.
I don't know if that sounded like it but i'm not at all blaming these people. if there was another country that would just give me a great place to live and food for free and just gave me some angry words when i tried stealing a car, i'd fucking go there. it's our countries fault that immigration crimes aren't properly handled and instead the officials are even trying to lie about the numbers as if stating the mere fact that most crimes are commited by immigrants (when accounting for their percentage of population) was racist.
like you're not gonna tell me that another stabbing of "hassan abdul al muhammad" wasn't a crime of some refugee and instead it's supposed to have been some year long well integrated immigrant just randomly decided stabbing people. that shit doesn't fly. people aren't dumb enough to believe that.
@genericname85
Genericname85: "Don't worry guys it's just the illegals. As long as we integrate them by making them look like Americans 🤠 everything will be just fine".
@Wodens_Apprentice it's not just the illegals. it's also the legal refugees for the most part. and most actual "immigrants" (not refugees) do pretty well in Europe. they have jobs, they contribute to society and they don't stab people so i don't see a big issue with those.
@Wodens_Apprentice but i'm sure things may be different over there in the US. We're not talking about the US here tho.
@genericname85 I don't want these people forming their own parallel societies in my English nation by swallowing up the job market (they have different work standards), subverting our politics (like Sadiq khan and every Muslim who votes labour despite not sharing leftist values) & forming ethnic enclaves across entire streets aswell as preaching their violent religion in mosques that encourage their young (often born to immigrants or grandchildren of immigrants actually commit more crimes than immigrants themselves).
I don't want some dual nationality or attachment to foreign ideologies & religions in my nation.
Don't think it's just the Muslims either. Africans also look at the modern whitemans as generous & weak. Their society deserves to be exploited by alien grifters if we allow our politicians to stay in power any longer.
We never voted to let these cunts in to begin with. Infact, we voted against it at every slight chance we got. Why do you think people voted for Brexit? Why do you think Enoch Powell was so popular despite the traitor conservatives demonising him to this day.
@Wodens_Apprentice well i don't think that you with your English qualification don't have to worry about some refugee from a shit hole country taking your job cause you're way more qualified. and if you're not, that doesn't look good on you at all. cause they had a war going on. what's your excuse to have worse qualification than them?
@genericname85 My excuse is living in a benefits grifting socialist shithole & belonging to a poor background. These people often make money because they had money to begin with. The ones who come here illegally often work illegally so they don't struggle to find a job (and their 3rd world standards mean they're happy being paid under minimum wage.) Finally id you're black or brown and you're stupid, you're going to be recruited above even a smart white man because of our anti-white DEI practices.
You stupid fucking Americans don't know what it's like to live in other countries and think everybody else's economy works just like your own because you don't care about the situation our Anglo brothers live in.
Half the population over here don't even own property & often not even renting. We live in government run council estates which create a culture where ambition isn't nurtured.
Yet we're allowing in Millions of outsiders with different backgrounds, morality & life experiences in to grift off our economy.
English people also don't traffick little girls to each other to make a fortune. That's how these random, empty & unskilled Turkish barbers open up shops everywhere & drive around in fancy expensive vehicles. It's called money laundering. Everybody hates these businesses & they're oftentimes empty yet somehow making way more money than native barbers & hairdressers.
@genericname85 Why are you retarded & left wing enough to believe every 3rd world place is a wartorn shithole anyway? Most of these immigrants come from the Indian subcontinent & bring their slaveish work ethic with them. Why should the English have to adjust their standards to meet the standards of 3rd worlders willing to work overtime in crappier conditions for less money?
These are things you can't figure out for yourself like most Americans. You don't understand how lucky you are to have the economy you have where working is actually rewarded with profit.
Americans are so out of touch with the rest of the world, even their English speaking brothers they don't give a fuck about that this is why I think they belong in special education.
@Wodens_Apprentice yeah the way you're talking i can see how any poor shit hole country refugee would be more appreciated applying for any job xD
@Wodens_Apprentice you think really think you living in a "socialist dei" country is as good an excuse not to be educated and qualified as growing up in a war torn country, barely surviving bombs left and right, parents probably shot, barely making it across the border tosome other country? man i bet you must have a doctors degree with that sort of genius level logic.
To be fair being qualified, educated, what have you, isn't any longer a guarantee of a good salary, at least here in the UK. The university educated are ten a penny, and sure, you command a higher salary for being say, a civil engineer, a doctor, a director, but not everybody can be those things. The 'educated professionals' here in the north where I work often earn somewhere in the 30 to 40k range. Which isn't going to get you very far in today's housing market. Or course, it's not so bad if you're in a dual salary household and you managed to get a property 10+ years ago when things were still reasonable. I do look at benefits claims as part of my work, and I do see it quite frequent that benefits claimaints, many of whom are refugees, have indefinite leave to remain, what have you, often get more money on benefits than the people in my workplace doing their roles. I've seen £2900 per month, which would be a salary of £45000 gross. Many of the claims are somewhere in the region of £1700 per month, which is more than minimum wage here. Certainly we have seen a great wage stagnation here in the last 20 or so years, and one reason in my opinion for that is a huge glut of labour due to mass migration. It does benefit the employers and corporations, but I can't see how it benefits those at the bottom. And of course, given rampant inflation, and the government effectively having to subsidise shitty wages, it just creates more inflated renting and mortgage costs.
I'm sure in Germany you have a better job's market and at least you actually have some industry still, there.
And of course, I know ultimately that each person has to take responsibility for his lot in society. But it does seem in the UK, the cards are stacked against you.
I don't think migration is necessarily a bad thing provided the numbers are reasonable and the people respect the culture and integrate. Clearly that hasn't been happening, and understandably, people want to stop it completely.
Sadly, the UK is no longer a high trust society.
germany is a joke. minimum wage pays barely more than welfare. so if you have a minimum wage job, you might as well just stay unemployed, cause whatever more money you make through minimum wage work actually is eaten um with car related costs that you wouldn't have if you didn't have a job.
and if you have a job that pays well, you are still overpaying the government for basically doing fuck all.
@genericname85 Same here.
My coworker to be fair works full time. But she's popped out 3 kids to three different baby daddies. We worked out that after her salary, baby daddy and various government money, she gets the same money every month as our £85k salaried directors.
wtf 85k a year? are child benifits/alimony that good over there or is her income way above average?
@genericname85 her income is average. But she gets another £1600 in universal credit, I think something like £300 in child benefit and then roughly £700 in baby daddy money.
She's genuinely not bright enough to see how much she gets in total, and squanders it, of course, on horseshit. Then says that I'm rich (I'm not) because I don't have kids.
jeez. being a mom in the uk must be convenient.
@genericname85 Single mum, yeah. No responsibility. Open your legs to some wankstain. Get lots of state money.
Free money for everybody.
Just not the single white male heterosexual 'oppressor'.
@genericname85 They're not more appreciated you stupid ignorant twat. Everyone but the media, government & private elites wants them GONE.
Yeah sure literal child traffickers are preferred over me.
Once the right people get to power we're going to send all of you leftist traitors where they're going so you can experience some of the diversity yourselves. There'll be no coming back either.
@genericname85 ans here we go with the everyone is wartorn crap whilst ignoring DEI practices & crime that also helps you start off in life.
@HammerOfThunor calling me a leftist xD lol. You should actually read what I'm saying instead of blindly raging you moron. Get a grip on reality.
Governments based on elected officials who make the decisions are allowed complete discretion to make those decisions. The only remedy of the people is to elect someone else the next time.
The problem, in the United States at least, and probably in the U. K., is that the same bad people keep getting elected over and over again, even though they act against the will of the people, even the people who voted for them. Look how long Pelosi and Biden were in Congress. Now name one good thing for the people either one of them ever did.
That's the big problem in California right now. The governor and the mayors keep doing what they want, to the enormous detriment of the citizens, but they always get reelected, and they will again.
They're going to put Kamala in there next time, even though she is the worst possible choice for any political office in the country (and she proved that in California already by destroying thousands of lives and almost bringing the state to complete collapse when she was Attorney General for 6 years; people who were convicted of minor marijuana crimes are still in prison to this day because of her, and marijuana is completely legal there now).
Neither the left or the right have done anything to stem the flow. This tells you it's not as simple as people think. Until we see it as a European problem as direct resources to stop them reaching European borders we'll never stop them coming to the UK.
It's only a matter of time before people start attacking boats mid crossing.
There is no right ring party that has been in power in the UK. Who's on the right? The conservatives? Tell me a 'right-wing' policy of theirs? Taking national debt to 100% of GDP ie 'fiscal responsibility'. Almost 1 million net migration in 2023. All the woke and trans horseshit. Net zero. Covid lunacy/authoritarianism. Where is the conservatism?
This could be solved in a day.
It's simple, leave the ECHR. Detain and deport anyone who arrives here illegally. The reason people come here is because they have incentive to do so. If they would know they would be removed as soon as they came, would not receive free housing/hotels, prepaid cards or whatever else they get. They know that the legal system is on their side and they are more than likely to have their claim accepted. The vast majority of those coming here, economic migrants I would rather call them, have their application ultimately granted.
The reason it hasn't been done is because there is no genuine political will do so. The policy suggestions are insulting and idiotic. 1 in, 1 out, Rwanda, smash the gangs. All preposterous.
I urge you to view the recent ITV report on Brazilian migrants. Judges have stopped extradition attempts of Brazilian citizens who have been accused and in cases, formerly convicted of child rape and murder, because it 'interferes with their human rights'. These people in power are actively endangering and working against the British people.
As soon as they start attacking those boats I'm joining in.

Their governments as any government is there to listen to the population as they are employees of the country's citizens. However, they are behaving as the countries are private business ventures or entities (England is, owned and controlled by the crown) so they can flood the labour market with excess labour, dropping costs for big corporations. Obviously more to it then that, like the politicians being WEF and following orders. When you bring in so many people, you have to prepare the infrastructure for them, housing, doctors, hospitals, schools, employment , etc... Otherwise you create a hostile environment from the country's citizens as what is happening.
Not particularly. People are not the smartest and they do not know what they actually want. The whole point of having representatives rather than direct democracy is to have politicians listen to what the people want, parse it through their own understanding and the experts around them, and then make the best decision FOR the people even if that goes against their will.
Blindly doing what the voters want when it contradicts your own understanding of the issue and the understanding of experts is not only irresponsible but also dangerous. There are plenty of things that sounds logical but is in reality counterintuitive and if you make a mistake then people will die.
@gwendoline This has been coming for years, in both countries. France is overran with immigrants from Africa..(I've been there and seen the effects of it)
Apparently the governments of some countries don't give a damn about what it's citizens want. Look at the ongoing nightmare we are involved in here in California. and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
People make this too complicated. Refuse boats to land. Pick them up at sea if you must. Ship them to a country that will take them (give them payment to take them) even if it is somewhere they don’t want to go as that’s not your problem.
Then punish those that hire them if they did make it to land. Then take away all forms of government assistance. Then use the army to help round them up.
If they commit a crime like rape, send them to a shithole country that will imprison them for the time specified. And then have them stay in that country or elsewhere that will take them if they do not go home.
This must be treated more like a war and it is a fight for your land and culture. Do so and they will stop coming. Do so and they will want to be deported. Do so or your children will live under their rule.
no. what's happening is: they're letting in more and more people. calling anyone complaining about crimes commited by these who were let in nazis. and thus creating a strong supressed resentment for these people which will break out in a full blown nazi outbreak at some point. that's what i firgure is happening currently in most european countries. instead of adressing the issues, those who are pointing out the issues are silenced. that can only go well for so long.
the problem isn't at all that people hate immigrants. the problem is that these who are let in aren't controlled and are getting away with crimes so the local population is actually discriminated against in favor of the immigrants who have no right to be treated differently.
You belong in special education not talking online forums about politics.
@Wodens_Apprentice ok.
I just don't understand why the people who say veterans before refugees are the same people who always vote for the party that does more austerity and thinks tax cuts are the solution to every problem. It's the same thing with Brexit, they said it was about giving money to the NHS but that never materialized. They only care about these causes when they can use them to bash something else with it.
LOL, it's just dimwit White nationalists who don't know any better, and have no will to do better.
Immigration is never "uncontrolled" and a few blokes on a boat is hardly going to topple the island.
The reality is that lazy White people cannot cause wars and steal resources like they easily used to in the colonial era. But instead of changing their ways, they are scapegoating immigrants who they fear will surpass them.
I'd have thought that's what governments are supposed to do at least under the air of democracy but the coalition governments aren't up to losing face over things that would expose their spineless backs and bank accounts.
They're louder because the gammon mafia have been emboldened by folk like Trump and Farage and their neonazi and fascist mentality is being allowed to express itself. It's not the will of the people, this racist dogwhistle stunt was unable to be undone because it was carried out against the wishes of the organisers.
Being loud, like Karen's, doesn't make them right.
Oh farage is a neo nazi fascist is he?
You're an absolute fucking idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. Nigel farage is traitor scum just like you are.
@Shiprex
Yeah you're just another leftist lunatic that understands nothing about politics. Enjoy watching your future daughters being groomed by 3rd worlders.
By the way Nigel farage frequently brags about containing the far-right & purging us out of politics. When asked, he doesn't care about demographics. His chairman is a literal Mohammedan & many Muslims are key members in the treacherous reform party.
@Shiprex
Where's your proof of this? Or are you just a massive bigot who hates white people? Does your study take per capita into account? Because EVERYTHING I have looked at suggests the opposite & that men from places like Afghanistan are committing the most sex crimes per capita.
Oh wait I forgot that the left don't understand what "Capita" means even though they supposedly hate capitalism.
@Wodens_Apprentice the evidence is clear and when 1 out of 100 versus 50 out of 50 000 is used as a metric by gammon to justify it as "WORSE" so tie in dishonesty to inherently that way (per capita white countries enslaved more, killed more, if you go there with that ridiculous ideology)
Actually per capita middle eastern, north African & sib Samara Africans were way worse
Not only did they enslave an overall higher number of people but they had been soing it since at the latest 600AD through the trans Saharan slave trade. It took the British navy to destroy the slavers & hunt the berber corsairs to put an end to it. So shit your mouth cause you don't even know what you're talking about, like ever leftoids whose existed ever.
*every
So did Muslims. The islamic world had trade routes going from Sub Saharan Africa & Europe to across the middle east to India & Polynesia.
Europeans banned slaves in their homeland in the middle ages. However these laws tended not to apply at sea. When we innovated better boats than everyone else our privateers used that to their advantage.
Boo boo, did somebody's ancestors do colonialism better than yours? At least we weren't slave driven cultures ourselves as slavery actually didn't contribute much to the overall economy & held us back from industrialising. Once slavery was banned at sea the economy boomed as Europeans were once again forced to innovate.
@Wodens_Apprentice slavery didn't contribute much? 🤣🤣🤣 apart from destroying the largest economies in the world (Chinese and Indian, African, South American Civilisations thanks to WHITE BOIS and their violent colonisation)
Even before Islam was started the Italians (Romans) had already ENSLAVED European WHYTES, north African and Easter European areas.
Jfc it's not just science that's being ignored, history seems to be based on whyte supremacist propaganda.
Okay noq you're getting crazy. Please explain to me how European slavery destroyed the economy of India, China & South American civilization? You don't know what you're talking about. Those people lost wars. If anything Britain turned India from a slavery driven economy to a privatised industrial one so this is utter nonsense you are spouting.
Africa barely had an economy & the economy they did have revolved around a small elite enslaving massive numbers of people, sometimes sacrificing their slaves to the snake god Bida, getting the slaves to pick gold from the rivers & selling those slaves & gold to the-
-Arabs where they'd be force-marched across the entire Saharan desert, the same burning their feet, & systemically castrated & raped then made to work the mines in the middle of the desert. Yet somehow European slavery is worse because we brought them over to America, put them in servitude & then granted them freedom & rights not long after.
You say we enslaved all around the world yet this is mostly nonsense. The Europeans rarely enslaved people. We actually tended to buy our slaves from African warlords & transported them across the Atlantic away from European laws. The vast majority of the slaves were black.
We didn't enslave the Indians, we didn't enslave the Chinese, most native Americans owned African slaves themselves.
South Americans were slave driven sacrificial Empires. They used slavery as a form of tribute to extract from their enemies.
Even though the Romans had many slaves to begin with, throughout the empires existence it became increasingly unpopular and followed the trend of slavery becoming banned later in the middle ages.
Many late romana criticised slavery & started to replace that system with a form of state servitude (basically a serf). Everybody before & after the Romans practiced slavery and the dark ages went through a U turn with the majority of the slaves being European victims of tribal conflict being sold off to the middle east, castrated & raped. Slavs were the most common of the Europeans to face these consequences because they remained pagan for longer & then got swamped by Mongolians & Turks.
'history seems to be based on whyte supremacist propaganda.' That's just you being insecure. Is my civilisation better than yours?
I wasn't talking about America dumbfuck
@HammerOfThunor slavery is the subject dimwit, all the prior Civilisations have used it BEFORE America was around.
Pay attention and read the threads before stepping in like a cockwomble.
I suppose it depends on one’s perspective of government. Some believe government to impose its will upon the populace and some believe government exist to serve the will of the people. Then there is government’s perspective that is can do whatever the hell it wants.
These immigrants are going to where they can get free handouts and seem to be treated better than the taxpayers. That are paying for their handouts. Should stay and fight for their homelands. But i guess that is too much work for them.
Protesting doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure making hotels or shelters uninhabitable, who accommodate illegals is more successful than protests.
Every attempt to govern without the consent of the governed will always result in revolution.
With the lefist government they have now, they unlikely to stop the illegal immigrants.
Hold up. Stop. Stop.
"Leftist"?
No. The problem is that even the ostensibly left-wing party has become too right-wing now. Most likely influenced by the insane circus they call politics in America.
We haven't actually HAD any sort of left-wing here since Margaret Thatcher turned the government into a profit-motivated capitalist organisation.
@SotiCoto I was talking about the new left, not your favorite communists from china.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Left
@Berethor : You really do say the most insanely nonsensical things sometimes, completely unprompted. I was talking about the Labour party... i. e. the ostensibly "left-wing" political party in Britain who are currently far too right-wing for their own good, or anyone's good for that matter. Nobody said anything about China until you just now. They're not relevant to this discussion in the slightest, and being tyrannical collectivists they seem more up your alley than mine.
I think the government's are trying to stop immigration.
I DON’T THINK THEY SHOULD ALLOW REFUGEES AT ALL AND THE CURRENT REFUGEES SHOULD BE DEPORTED. Getting a legal citizenship in that country should be earned not freely granted
With the UK being out of the EU laws and regulations, I wonder why they don’t go the (very strict) Australian immigration way?
I wonder that but a bigger question is why are people risking their lives and sometimes lives of children to escape the EU?
The pull-effect. A million or more of their relatives are already living in the UK, legally or illegally.
To get into the uk they don't need to use boats to cross the chanel from france. All they need to do is go to Ireland and they can litteraly walk into the uk unchallenged.
And to Ireland they go… how?
They should have been listening long ago. And they should have consulted the people on something as big as immigration policy.
... Why do people keep using the term "immigration"?
It is far too positive a term for refugees and other religious invaders. Makes it sound like they came in legitimately.
People don't like to use the word refugees because most aren't refugees.
Yes they should. Ireland is for the Irish. Britian is for the British.
Of course, but starmer is a tyrant so he won't.
Should - yes
Will it - no.
UK didn't have a conservative government since Thatcher. Cameron turned his party left wing on social issues.
They should but won't, that's what Lord Ali's paying for and Stalinmer is selling the UK to the EU are an Auschwitz mk2 type of prison camp
No they shouldn't because our will is only accomplished once every single one of these politicians & corporate shills, who flooded this country, are given the death penalty for treason.
Of course. But the government wants that immigration, even if they have to sacrifice people for it.
Listen and heed or expect insurrection if the government doesn't. Oh. Someone did that 249 years ago.
Governments dont listen to their citizens, they are there to make sure you obey the ruled
I tend to be open with immigration, except with those who want to behead me and who like to marry little girls.
What a bunch of MAGA racists living in Britain and Ireland! I can't believe they are this racist and hate brown people.
A number of sex attacks and of course not getting housing has sparked it. In country of 5 million they plan to move in 1 million immigrants
They should but won't, because the people let those same people invading their country into government.
They should, but they won't.
They should listen to their citizens, yes.
If they want to stay in government they should.
Why would they start now?
You would think they would.
Yes they should listen to the people.
Ya Think?
Gee ya think?
