The Windrush generation are the true losers of mass migration - "A quick survey of iconic London high streets from Brixton to Hackney, from Peckham to Notting Hill, reveals that the Caribbean legacy is disappearing. All the primary schools in these areas would once have had black children with British surnames, now they are a tiny minority. It has been a changing of the guard: rice and peas has had to give way to Jollof rice, as Nigerians have the ascendancy. Talking to those Caribbean pioneers of the 1950s, there is a bitter resentment that their homeland (Brixton and Hackney) has been taken over by white hipsters, asylum seekers and west Africans. Shut your eyes and they sound no different than white folk in parts of West Yorkshire or Tower Hamlets reminding us of the good old days... mOf all the peoples that have come to Britain since the war, Caribbeans were always the most aligned to England. Yes, they had some crazy leaders who tried to make them into fake Jamaicans or even fake ancient Egyptians but really, they were black Britons who had made the journey home to London... You would have thought that those Caribbean elders would be homesick for their ancestral homes in Jamaica or Trinidad, but their good times were in the old Britain, which has now changed and left them behind. The nostalgia for the old country is even stronger with those who decided to leave Britain and return to the Caribbean. Only in their ancestral lands did they realise how English they have become. I met one lady who had a wall covered with DVDs of Coronation Street, Crossroads and The Benny Hill Show. I told her that some of her DVDs would be banned in the new Woke Britain. I asked them what the thing was they missed most about Britain. Strangely enough they said “politeness” and “good manners”. Here was a generation that was supposed to have been savaged by British racism, yet they still had a fondness for our civility."
Migrant who sexually assaulted teenager thanks Britain for looking after him - "Moffat Konofilia, 48, has avoided prison for telling a 17-year-old girl he had “never been so close to a white woman” before kissing her twice on the lips... he begged magistrates in Poole, Dorset, not to send him to jail as he needed to support his wife and children. He also thanked the UK for “looking after me” and said he was a good citizen. He said: “The British are looking after me, accommodation, food, I can give the whole lot [benefit]. Thank you, I appreciate Great Britain for looking after me.”"
Man at centre of Dundee schoolgirl 'blade' video claims innocence after social media rumours : r/europe_sub - "He's literally a "gypsy gangster". Innocent my arse."
Meme - ali.dumana.5: "Gypsy. gangster man"
Meme - Leo Kearse - on YouTube & GB News: "This tweet from Labour MP Cat Eccles shows how Labour feel about British people:"
Cat Eccles MP: "Degenerate native men are the biggest threat to women."
Sam Ashworth-Hayes on X - "So we can distinguish between people who are native to this country and those who received papers a few years ago? How fascinating. Care to elaborate further?"
Mike Jones on X - "A Labour MP says native men are a bigger danger to women than immigrants. So why not publish the stats? Per capita, by nationality, including second- and third-generation immigrants. If you’re so sure, PUBLISH the numbers."
Turkish trans drag queens among foreign ‘talent’ handed British visas - "The “Global Talent visa” permits recipients to stay in the UK for five years along with their dependents, and is intended to bring the very best creatives to the country. Applicants must have their claimed artist merit endorsed by the Arts Council before visas are ultimately signed off by the Home Office. The Telegraph has learned that transgender drag queens are among the talents welcomed to Britain, along with Nigerian rappers and poets who now have platforms offering advice on how to obtain UK visas. Singers in African evangelical churches have been granted global talent visas to come to Britain, where they now sing in local African evangelical churches. Examples of the global talents who have come to the UK have emerged amid growing debate about the visa route for creatives, and a 178 per cent increase in annual applications since 2019... Nigerians have dominated the literature category of the Global Talent visa for the past five years, putting in 125 applications, more than double those received from the USA, 61, and far more than other Anglophone nations Australia, Canada and New Zealand combined. The number of Global Talent visa applications being submitted from Nigeria has risen by 2,225 per cent since 2019. Musical talent has made its way to the UK during this time and The Telegraph is aware of individuals being granted a talent visa – according to their own account – on the strength of their singing in church... “The idea that drag artists represent global talent is frankly laughable. These visas should be for research scientists, IT professionals, medics, people working at the cutting edge of finance or others who will add value to the economy. “Allowing these visas to be used for drag queens is patently ridiculous and the government should urgently get a grip.”... Scepticism about the Global Talent route comes after The Telegraph revealed that the Government intended to protect skilled worker visa routes for diversity and inclusion experts, despite a promised immigration crackdown. The Home Office has safeguarded visa application routes for those with specific skills, creating a temporary list of “shortage” occupations. This list safeguards the positions of “poet” and “blogger”, roles that come under the visa route for the broad category of “authors, writers and translators”."
The small boats crisis is out of control. This plan could solve it - "In December 2018, Sajid Javid, then home secretary, cut short his holiday and declared a “major incident” after 78 migrants crossed the Channel in small boats in four days. Since then six more home secretaries, and four prime ministers, have struggled with the same problem: how to stop the boats. All have failed. A record 17,000 have crossed so far this year. More than 900 crossed in a single day this month. There are some who argue that this proves, once again, that irregular migration can’t be stopped and there is no point trying. This is wrong: the premise is false and the counsel unwise. Irregular migration can be controlled. There are plenty of examples of countries stopping or significantly reducing it. Australia has reduced it to almost zero: not once, but twice. It did so in 2001, and again in 2013, by shipping “boat people” off to Nauru, a tiny Pacific island. Israel did the same in 2012 by building a fence and pushing migrants from Africa back across its border with Egypt. And, in the United States, President Trump is making a pretty good fist of it now: by strengthening border patrols and denying asylum applications at America’s southern border, he has reduced encounters with irregular migrants to 12,000 in April this year, compared with 240,000 in April 2023. All these policies have three things in common: they are cruel and they violate people’s rights. But they are also popular; or voters are at least prepared to put up with them if nothing else appears to work. In Australia, the “Pacific solution” is now backed by both main parties. Trump is polling steadily on migration, even if the expansion of his deportation policy has dented support in recent weeks. None of this is lost on Nigel Farage, or his equivalents on the Continent. Seeing all else fail, voters are warming to Reform’s promise to leave the European Convention on Human Rights and turn boats back at sea, using the navy if necessary. It is doubtful whether this very dangerous policy could work: you still need a place to push boats back to, and France is unlikely to be obliging. But it sounds simple and radical enough to tempt both voters and, it seems, the Conservative Party."
The proposed solution is to push them to European countries and hope European countries find other countries to push them to. Brilliant - if you can find suckers to agree to both steps
Immigration removal centre hire staff to teach balloon craft to migrants - "An immigration removal centre has advertised for staff to teach balloon craft and floristry to migrants facing deportation. Painting and hairdressing tutors and a gym boss are also being hired for detainees at the Heathrow immigration removal centre, which is run by contractor Mitie... Adverts for the jobs, first reported by the Sun newspaper, included a “hospitality and floristry tutor”, who was to teach skills including cake decorating and balloon craft. Other roles advertised at the facility included a “gym manager” with an advertised annual salary of £38,873. Tasks included promoting “meaningful gym activities within the sports halls, gym areas and courtyards”. A “hospitality and floristry tutor” would be responsible for promoting and delivering “workshops in relevant creative skills including floristry, cake decorating, balloon craft”. The position has an advertised annual salary of £31,585."
Channel migrant who sexually assaulted teenage girl with special needs in broad daylight is jailed for 14 months - "Aron Hadsh, 27, from Eritrea, who was living at a taxpayer-funded Holiday Inn near Heathrow, attacked the 19-year-old in June last year after she had been sent by her mother to pick up fruit from a food bank."
Jonatan Pallesen on X - "This story has a large number of the elements that makes the current mass immigration to Europe a disaster.
• He arrived in UK illegally. Instead of throwing him out, they put him in a hotel paid by taxpayers.
• As most of these arrivals he is a military age male. Military age males are far more dangerous than other people. And it is weird to use so many resources on helping military age males only.
• He sexually assaulted a stranger. The propensity of sexual assault of strangers from migrants is absurdly large. This makes public spaces unsafe for women.
• He only received 1 year detention and was released again after this.
• This was even though he showed no remorse and denied having done anything wrong, and the judge rightly estimated that he had a high risk of reoffending.
• If he doesn't think he did anything wrong, of course he will do it again. And now he is free to do so, still living on UK soil, that he has no right to be on even without the sexual assault.
• This assault was not solved by the police. There is a large number of offences by foreigners that go unsolved, even though they are often committed in an obvious, low IQ way. We do not have the resources to deal with all these extremely criminal third-worlders.
• Instead, the victim identified him, and members of the public succeeded in detaining him and handing him over to the police.
Notice how in all this its the state vs the people. The state let him in and forced the people to pay for his stay. The people caught him without help from the state. The state then released him again, so he can commit more sexual assault."
‘Serious problems’ with UK’s reliance on migration, warns OBR official - "Immigration is creating “serious problems” for public services and living standards, a senior official at the Government’s fiscal watchdog has warned. David Miles, an executive at the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), said Labour must prioritise getting Britons back to work instead of relying on overseas workers to grow the economy. Only by achieving this will Sir Keir Starmer be able to slash the welfare bill and tackle the country’s “explosive” debt pile. The economics professor, who has also served on the Bank of England’s interest rate-setting Monetary Policy Committee, said the UK was already on course to become the most populous country in Europe by the middle of this century. He added that depending on an increasing population to expand the economy “could not be sustained”, as migrants themselves use schools, hospitals and other public services as they get older, have children and become eligible to claim benefits... Almost the entire rise in economic inactivity since Covid has been driven by people born in the UK, many of whom are also claiming sickness benefits that do not require them to look for work... the OBR has faced scrutiny for overstating the economic benefits of migration, with Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir’s chief of staff, reportedly concerned that the watchdog does not properly account for the burden on public services. The watchdog has previously admitted that low-paid migrant workers are a drain on the public purse – costing taxpayers more than £150,000 each by the time they hit state pension age... “The fiscal benefits of helping people, especially young people who potentially have many years of work ahead of them, back into employment are substantial. “There is a great deal of evidence that mental health in particular is typically improved by being in work. And mental health problems have been a very significant factor behind the recent rise in illness-related inactivity.”"
Far right xenophobe! He needs to Trust the Experts who tell us that migration is good for the economy
One cope is that net migration numbers are absolutely inaccurate because they are estimates
Albert Edwards on X - "Exploding a myth... Prof Miles at the UK OBR says that it is wrong to think that low wage immigration will alleviate the fiscal time-bomb as they cost the public purse way more than they will ever contribute in taxes. Get youngsters back to work instead."
Adam Wren on X - "When you consider that our industrial policy for nearly 30 years has been mass importing people that are net negative it’s actually a real testament to the people & character of the UK that we’ve managed to maintain the living standards & economic output we have, insanely bullish"
Time to increase benefits, as that's the decent, humane thing to do. And pay for it by 'taxing the 'rich'' so they produce even less. It's literally fascism to force people to work
Patriotic 🇬🇧 Nation 🟣 on X - "Police support officer approaches citizen journalists at migrant hotel and asks, what are you discussing? Incredible."
Freedom of speech is for terrorist supporters to attack RAF bases and damage military assets, not for normal citizens to talk near migrant hotels. Challenging journalists is only bad when the journalists push the left wing agenda
David Atherton on X - "Citizen journalist @Migrant_Auditor went to an illegal migrant hotel & ate a bowl of chicken pasta. The Greater Manchester @gmpolice raided his home he shares with his disabled mother. Ten turned up, 5 in riot gear. Arrested he was taken into custody & charged with burglary."
Commonwealth migrants understood Britain. Can we say the same for new arrivals? - " It was September 1972, and I was heading as a one-year-old refugee to Stansted, wearing a cloth nappy and the bare essentials that the Ugandan soldiers had allowed my family to leave the country with. Soldiers even took the last 5 Ugandan Schillings that my father had, leaving us homeless, penniless and stateless. We had lost all we had, but there was one thread that attached us to some form of an ongoing identity; we were British Commonwealth citizens. This umbilical cord to the United Kingdom and the history of Britain shaped many migrants of my generation, and continues to influence my life today. Within six months of arriving in the country, my father took us to live in Kenya, where I was educated in British schools. The only language that I grew up consistently speaking was English. Under the heat of equatorial summers, I memorised a range of Shakespeare’s plays, learnt about the heroic victories of Britain on the high seas and fantasised about the adventures of explorers like Livingstone and the hardened Presbyterian Scottish evangelists who traversed through Africa. I was soaked in British history, the courage of its explorers and in the rationality of a nation that became the cornerstone of my thinking. So, when my family left Kenya in 1983 after a military coup against the then President, Daniel Arap Moi, we came to a Britain which felt like a place where we had connections, where personal responsibility meant something, and where the rule of law, institutions and systems were a shining and guiding light to the rest of the world. In other words, we had a deep connection and care for Britain. Britain was within us, and we had a duty of care to it. The world was ever changing. During the late 1980s and 90s, wars in Iraq and Somalia and the military persecution of civilians in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Lebanon led many, including some key Islamist leaders, to seek asylum in the UK. Some genuinely sought a place of sanctuary, while others – like the Muslim Brotherhood activists who abused the safety of our country to set up propaganda centres that were later to amplify narratives of Al-Qaeda – sought eternal war against the ideas and concepts of the West. Residents from these countries had no strong Commonwealth links to the UK. In fact, the narrative in some of these countries was that Britain was the enemy that needed to be mistrusted and fought at every step. How many today who arrive on small boats realise we expect them to be open and respectful to our national practices and our history? How many value the Christian roots and secular institutions that guide our nation?"
The tide is finally turning on the outdated ECHR – even the Left admit it - "Is the dam about to burst? For the best part of a year, Downing Street’s genius strategy for dealing with the small boats crisis was to keep repeating the same phrase about “smashing the gangs,” all the while muttering about the evils of the “far-Right”. The Prime Minister and his Home Secretary trotted out these platitudes with such regularity that, after bringing only a handful of people smugglers to task, even they realised they had to stop. As pressure mounted to show they were doing something, “smashing the gangs” was replaced with the laughable “one in, one out” deal with France’s Emmanuel Macron. Just one problem: thousands of Channel migrants continued to pour in, and only a handful were kicked out. Having promised to provide “regular updates” on deportations, Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has gone suspiciously quiet. Desperate for something to say as Reform’s Nigel Farage made all the running, Sir Keir Starmer’s next hopelessly feeble announcement involved legalistic tinkering around the edges of asylum appeals. Quite who persuaded the Prime Minister that this was a goer is anyone’s guess. It is impossible to imagine any focus group telling Labour strategists that it would cut the mustard. So here we are, with hardly any gangs smashed, a “one in, one out” policy that’s yet to get going, and Farage promising mass deportations while riding high in the polls. Finally, there are signs that something is beginning to crack. While Starmer continues to demonstrate absolutely zero understanding of the mutinous public mood, the first Labour grandee has broken ranks, to venture that it might, just might, be time to consider a temporary suspension of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In what may come to be seen as a watershed moment, last week, the former home secretary David Blunkett suggested that such a move could be required to “get a grip”. His intervention is highly significant, providing Labour backbenchers who privately agree with him the cover they need to speak out. One such veteran MP, Graham Stringer – the MP for Blackley and Middleton South – has already stuck his neck out, adding his voice to such calls. And it’s not just the ECHR – Left-leaning commentators have also started talking about a suspension of the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention. What exactly do those who are still clinging to what they see as the moral high ground think will happen if the UK declares a national emergency and announces that it will no longer put outdated treaties ahead of our security? Do they really think we will instantly become a pariah state, morphing into Iran or North Korea? It takes just a glance at the text of the various international treaties that supposedly stand in the way of turning back the boats to see that they are relics of a bygone era. The UN Refugee Convention, which obliges signatories to give sanctuary for anyone with a “well-founded fear of being persecuted”, was borne out of the chaos of the Second World War and has been overtaken by the 21st century. Written for a Europe of ration books and steamships, rather than a world of mass migration across continents – and instant communication – it might as well be inked on papyrus. When Left-leaning media commentators begin openly musing about the merits of temporarily pulling out, you know something’s up."
One cope is that small boats migrants are a small proportion of total migration, so it's discrimination to be worried about them. But besides breaking the rules, they also have an outsize impact, so
Britain has extreme interpretation of ECHR, says Justice Secretary - "Shabana Mahmood said other European countries saw the UK as taking a “maximalist” approach in the way courts complied with the ECHR as she set out how the Government could reform the convention’s application in UK courts... Former Labour home secretaries Lord Blunkett and Jack Straw have called for the Government to consider suspending the ECHR or decoupling UK human rights laws from it, in order to enable ministers to deport more illegal migrants."
With their sneering TikTok videos, the people smugglers are laughing at all of us - "Even insufficient funds are not a dealbreaker. Advertising in Arabic, one TikTok account suggests customers can pay their way by “working for us” in France for two months. Quite what penniless potential customers are expected to do in exchange for safe passage to England is not spelt out. What is clear from the plethora of online promotional material for small boat crossings is that those behind this booming business have become so cocky that they now barely bother to cover their tracks... One particularly brazen TikTok account features a middle-aged woman with a lanyard demonstrating how to forge a passport. No attempt has been made to hide her face. Such information is a gift for the police, which begs the question why investigators are not following the big fat fingerprints Instead of targeting the adverts, why not use them to tackle the business itself? When the first bedraggled migrants began appearing on the beaches of Kent almost a decade ago, the then Conservative government should instantly have recognised the colossal implications. The then Australian prime minister Tony Abbott had just shown how to stop the flow of unwanted arrivals from Indonesia with “Operation Sovereign Borders”, a highly effective approach based on turning back all boats. Yet 170,000 Channel migrants later, British voters are being fobbed off with lame talk about banning adverts. As ministers flounder around trying to come up with solutions that do not involve leaving the European Convention on Human Rights or making the UK any less attractive as a destination for illegals, they appear to be getting desperate... Why would people who have crossed continents to reach this country be remotely deterred by the fractional possibility of being escorted back to France – where they will very likely be able to try again? Cooper’s excuse for refusing to say how many individuals are expected to be sent packing tells us everything we need to know. What on earth is the point, if the answer is not a resounding “every single one”? No wonder those who are taking advantage of all this crashing incompetence are laughing at us – quite literally, in the case of some asylum seekers recently captured on camera. Hanging out of the window of their expensive hotel, a group of Channel migrants openly mocked and jeered at British protesters on the street below. It was a shameless display of contempt towards the hard-working people on whose generosity they rely for their comfortable new existence. Such manifest disrespect ought to be an instant disqualification for any asylum application. However, when worse behaviour is no barrier to the right to remain, what hope is there of the long-suffering British taxpayer being shown any gratitude? Of course, the jesters here are our craven, idiotic leaders, who continue to force us all to pay for their farce. As such, the joke is very much on us."
Migrant crisis: 'Asylum seekers' entitled to free prescriptions, eye tests, dental care and wigs on NHS - "One local, retired machine worker Paul Davies, 67, said: "They're getting more benefits than we do. "I have to pay for my own dental treatment and prescriptions." ONS figures from October found that 97 per cent of people who do not have a dentist and who tried to access NHS dental care were unsuccessful."
Young Brits 'squeezed out of jobs by migrants' as 1m left idle while number of non-EU workers soars - "Nearly one million young Brits have been left idle while the number of non-EU workers has soared by 315 per cent, a new study has found. The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) said under-25s were being 'squeezed out of the job market' by a combination of mass migration, rising payroll taxes and surging benefit awards. A total of 987,000 16-24 year-olds - equivalent to more than one in eight - were categorised as NEETs (not in education, employment or training) in the year to December, an increase of 877,000 on the previous year... The CSJ report, Wasted Youth, claimed that the widening gulf in employment patterns is partly explained by UK employers opting for immigrants, while thousands of British young people claim out of work benefits for conditions such as anxiety and depression. The number of NEETs citing ill-health has increased by half since 2019... The report follows warnings from David Miles, an executive at the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), that immigration is creating 'serious problems' for public services and living standards."
How ignorant. Don't they know that social justice means helping foreign minorities? Or that migrants create jobs. It must be young Brits' faults for not getting jobs
Hotel migrant who spat at police officer escapes punishment - "A Somali asylum seeker who drunkenly spat at a police officer has escaped punishment. Shafi Momad was staying at the Roundhouse migrant hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset, despite arriving in the UK five years earlier... He pleaded guilty to the offence at Poole magistrates’ court, which heard he was already serving a six week suspended prison sentence for a religiously aggravated assault on a member of the public."
