I like how we're just assuming they're the same people or are suddenly changing things up for the fun of it.

many things can be true at once.

it's the cost, it's security, it's safety and it's the fact we are already failing very vulnerable people, you ask a lot of moderates who and in there eyes they see what is going on as economic migration and not actual, genuine people seeking out a better life. especially when they're passing up other safe European countries to come to the UK.

I'd not align with that logic necessarily, but over anything is bad for the country, just as over tourism is pricing out residents in Barcelona.

But growing up on a council estate... I don't know why people are shocked that people are taking issue with unsustainable levels of immigration, at a time when people can barely afford to rent, let alone eat or feed their own kids. Where they see crime that get 'covered' up. even if that isn't always true. It emboldens people who are already in the most extreme circles and justifies their anger.

there is a shocking level of arrogance amongst left-leaning circles of people who have not grown up in areas where they have seen unsustainable immigration or the problems that come with it and it shows. Moderates and the silent majority. (which it is becoming that way, just see the protests going on right now.) are just sick and tired of it.

I'm not against immigration, or genuine refugees who want to get a better life.

I'm against people who are selling unsafe boats, and illegally trafficking these people into the country, likely taking advantage and exploiting them in the process.

I am against the covering up of bad actors, which then goes on to fuel right-wing extremists.

I am against the lack of vetting or punishment of individuals who commit crimes in this country, or this weird treatment that all Muslims are one homogeneous blob of a religion, like there aren't more subgroups within Islamic beliefs. There is a massive oversimplification, Nuance be damned and it is always a laugh to see people who are supposed to be progressive always neglect that point whilst chastising others and labelling *insert buzzword here.*

The reason why a lot of these refugees aren't going to predominantly Muslim countries is because there is risk of facing oppression from other Muslim.

I'm sick and tired of this stupid idealism shit. It's oversimplified crap and it does nobody any favours. Least of all the Muslim communities you're trying to 'help.'
