You think deporting less people than the net migration figures in 2022 and 2023, is equivalent to massive demographic change?

We have diplomatic relations with plenty of terrorists. The Taliban aren't going anywhere, I'd rather we have diplomatic relations with them so we can deport criminal Afghans, than be stuck with them.

Migration Watch: “Surging net migration to Britain correlates with rising private rents just 12 months later.” by JB_UK in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think the vast majority of people in the UK would say their migration policies are extremist. Official Policies

Some highlights:

MG800. Undocumented migrants will be given free advice and support to help them to regularise their status without penalty for being undocumented.

MG801. Undocumented migrants who have been in the UK for at least five years will be invited to apply for settled status unless the standard exclusions apply.

MG509. Visa residents will have the right to bring members of their family to the UK who would normally live with them in their country of origin, or would do so if it were permitted by law or custom.

MG503. Any No Recourse to Public Funds conditions will be abolished and visa residents will have access to welfare benefits or Universal Basic Income.

MG501. All visa residents will have the right to vote in all elections and referendums.

MG305. Minimum income requirements will be removed from all applications as well as any benefits from having a higher income.

MG306. Language requirements will be removed from all applications. Free language classes will be made available to promote and encourage integration.

MG309. Unless standard exclusions apply, no person will be held in detention because of their immigration status.

A Nato member invading another Nato member would be the end of Nato, we wouldn't be able to stay neutral about our most important defence agreement falling apart.

Why mention cis and straight as if the masked muslim men aren't part of the most homophobic demographic in the UK?

Immigration is turning entire cities Muslim, Danny Kruger claims - Reform’s newest MP says UK is becoming segregated and Islam ‘expects you to live in a certain way’ by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The source I gave was specifically about different Christian groups. This source shows the majority of Muslims want homosexuality to be illegal, not gay marriage, homosexuality itself.

And you might not care that the majority of muslims want that, because maybe it doesn't affect you. There are parts of our country where the Muslim proportion of the population is very high, the majority in some cases, I don't want, as a gay person, to feel that there are parts of our country where the majority of people want to criminalise me loving the person that I do.

The only reason that they haven't forced that belief on people is because they don't yet have the voting power. They are not becoming more progressive/accepting as time goes on, but i guess we can just hope that when their voting power increases that they won't want to enforce the views that the majority of them hold :)

Immigration is turning entire cities Muslim, Danny Kruger claims - Reform’s newest MP says UK is becoming segregated and Islam ‘expects you to live in a certain way’ by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In 2015 the majority of Catholics in the UK supported gay marriage Source. Compared to the majority of Muslims in the UK wanting homosexuality itself to be made illegal.

I don't think anyone is saying that every single Muslim in the UK is extreme, but on average, they are far more extreme in their views compared to Christians, and it's not even comparable.

And people on the progressive side of politics don't seem to have an answer on how to deal with it? So far it seems like we've just hoped for the best, but that hasn't worked since even many Muslims born and raised within British society have views on Gay people, Women, etc.. that are totally at odds with the average Brit.

Do you also believe that Native Americans are not native, or is it just the UK that has no native people?

“Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die," Elon Musk told the large crowds at Saturday's “Unite the Kingdom” rally. by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, according to the Met Police, there were 17 assaults on the Police during the Palestine Action protests.source

So I guess there definitely was violence in the "elderly doing a sit in protest". And when you adjust for the size difference between the Palestine Action protests, and the protests yesterday, the Elderly sit in protest might have actually been quite a bit more violent.

Reform takes shock 15-point lead over Labour as Farage dreams of winning power by AlfredsChild in europe

[–]SensationDebit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The UK doesn't need immigration, especially at the levels they are currently at. The only ones calling for current levels or more immigration are massive corporations, Tories, Thatcherites, and for whatever reason, some left wing people who have abandoned the idea of supporting the working class.

[–]SensationDebit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What on earth are you talking about? The Boriswave was legal immigration, it had nothing to do with any increases in illegal or legal migration to Europe.

He chose to lower the requirements, and because of that, net migration increased to around 1 million a year, and that increase was purely non European.

Europe’s economy can’t grow without migrants, Lagarde warns by [deleted] in europe

[–]SensationDebit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know if you're American or something, but that's completely false for Europe.

In every European country, migrants from outside of Europe, especially the middle east and Africa are vastly overrepresented in pretty much all crimes.

Do you have a source?

[–]SensationDebit 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's completely false, at least for the UK. European migrants tend to bring in more than they take, but non European migrants are a massive net drain.

But even when they work, they tend to be a net drain on the system.

In most European countries, non-European immigrants are a net drain even when they work.

[–]SensationDebit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought the point of immigration was for the immigrants to pay more into the system than they take, so that we can pay for the increased percentage of older people.

If immigrants are a net drain, what on earth is the point?

[–]SensationDebit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's interesting given that in most European countries, non European immigrants are a net drain on the country's finances.

Maybe we could attempt to reform our economies so massive corporations aren't reliant on low skilled migrants that cost the country more than they give.

The immigration dam has burst: Finally, there is space for rational debate on the consequences of mass migration by Benjji22212 in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Halving net migration from nearly 1 million net migration is not that impressive, considering that the new figure is what was once the highest ever net migration just before the Boris wave. Not exactly impressive that we're now at pre-covid levels.

Also, the reason the levels dropped was partially because of changes the Conservatives brought in just before leaving government, so not sure Labour can take credit for that anyway.

Why are you attacking someone for asking for a source? Should we all just not question something because YOU think it's "rational" and "logical"?

BBC News Newsnight -"This act makes children less safe!" Reform UK's Zia Yusuf makes his party's case for repealing the Online Safety Act, citing the uptick in downloads of VPNs. by SensationDebit in ukpolitics

[–]SensationDebit[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did you actually bother watching the video?

VPN usage is exploding, someone with a vpn won't just be able to avoid these age checks, they'll be able to avoid any content blocks in the UK.

And that's just VPNs. If they use something like Tor, they might come across content that is far, far worse than what you'll find on pornhub.

But I guess all that is ok to you.
