Turned out the ‘protest’ was mostly some drunken louts not from the area given a platform by GB News…
I don't think it's a case of bringing in people from the third world Goldie - their origins aren't important. What is important is their age and gender - they seem to be all young and all male, couple this with having little money and lots of time on their hands adds up to a problem. We have about 400 refugees in the town where I live (town population about 20,000) mostly from Afghanistan, Syria and Somalia and nearly all male and bored. If we had 400 bored young Scousers on our doorstep we may have an even bigger problem. We should be taking whole families.And there was me thinking you were a sensitive soul...
I've been supportive of those Afghan refugees that worked with the Allies having sanctuary. The fact is a lot of those that deserved to come, have not. And a lot of those who didn't, have, some in inflatables. Your points about the Taliban denying women rights and executing people goes to my point. The Afghans are fleeing their fellow countrymen rather than a warzone.
Bringing in the Third World into the Developed World is always going to be difficult. I have sympathy for residents of Surbiton being concerned for their or their children's safety after these stabbings. With the influx of Third World immigrants, these types of problems are just beginning. Placing them is increasingly difficult. It's going to get a whole lot worse...

I think the city with the largest Afghan population in Europe is Hamburg, where I lived for 19 years before moving to my present abode. There are about 40,000 there who were born in Afghanistan (the second largest ethnic goup after Turkish) - in all that time I never heard about any stabbings committed by them. I knew many of them personally and had a lot of students from there - one in particular who was very surprised that we could take the moral high ground on themes like women's rights (and condemnation of them being treated as sex objects) in the same city as the Reeperbahn and the infamous Herbertstrasse !I wouldn't wish 400 Scousers on anyone, but with immigrants from the Third World, there are different cultures, Cologne. These don't evaporate on a short dinghy journey across the Channel. Women are often treated like sexual objects, chattels in the family with arranged marriages. Then all the honour stuff. Some will integrate, yes, whole families. But the dinghies coming in only contain young men.
I don't see how you can make them work, if they haven't been approved for citizenship. They are in a state of limbo, and should be until their case is heard. If this takes longer for DNA, age checks etc to know whom we're letting in, so be it.

You seem to have missed the Trump one the other day, Ubes. I'd have thought you'd have been all over another example of a senile US President talking gibberish.
So Huey Lewis and the News plays the mental health card...
You can be cruel Goldie.In Fawlty Towers, whenever Basil Fawlty is caught bang to rights, he throws himself to the ground and fakes a heart-attack.
Hasn't Huw Edwards just thrown a Basil?
No he has had mental issues for years.Quelle surprise.
Funny how they’re perfectly OK until found out.
