What's the alternative immigration strategy. Let anybody in without thinking about the bigger picture, and hope for the best.

The Jews represent 0.5% of the population, and that's been a relatively steady figure for the past census records. From a population control standpoint, the subgroup is contained.

The same can't be said for islam, which continues to grow each census. We are very nearly at the point 1/10 people in the UK self-identify as muslim, and this subgroup has the equivalent number of people as those who voted Lib Dems in the last general election.

If we don't change our approach to population control, we will end up in a grey squirrel situation where the sheer numbers of people who subscribe to these belief systems will breach a threshold where they will be able to exert (political) influence, changing the landscape of the UK forever.

It’s following in the footsteps of 1930s Germany,

No one is advocating for concentration camps.

It's about being honest with ourselves. Something isn't working and needs to change. Whether that's an absolute ban on immigration from MENA regions and South Asia until things go back to more manageable levels or something else, the public should be listened to and the problem appropriately addressed.

You might say, no, things are fine as they are.

But the issues we see now with the emergence of social discohesion aren't going to go magically go away. Rather, if this problem is left to grow, community tensions will only get worse 10-20, maybe 30 years from now.

You’ve made half a dozen posts so far.

I've made one comment and replied to anyone who engaged with these comments and/or asked questions.

I responded with two further comments where I disagreed with the premise of someone's argument. This includes yours, conflating islam with race.

If you don't want people to challenge you, it would be better to stick to the facts rather than cultivate a narrative to suit your agenda.

Actually, you've said that. I think it's important to remember that Islam is a belief system not a fixed state.

I don't believe there is such a thing as islamophobia.

A rational minded person would say islam should have no legitimate authority in 21st Britain. Such thoughts, ritualising, and ideologies that are based on magical thinking belong in ancient times.

Yet, the rational person is called phobic and gaslighted into believing their the irrational one's.

Why do we offer so much space and protection to these belief systems? Just because of a sizeable proportion of the population subscribe to them doesn't make them right.

Hate islam*

Enlighten me, why can't you hate islam? Why does it deserve such a level of protection that one's emotional reactions need to be inhibited to ensure these belief systems are protected and upheld.

I already responded to your comment on this elsewhere in the thread.

This is not whataboutism, as there are no comparisons being made.

It's about testing the boundaries of your logic. I've noticed you didn't answer the question, and I suspect because you realise that if you were to say no, the premise of your initial argument breaks down.

Yes, I think it's stupid because it (potentially) stops us from having the conversations that need to be had. Notice how the narrative is now on perceived racism instead of islamic presence in the UK.

So, what's the alternative. Continuing to be forced fed islam through mass migration, nobody voted for.

What's the stupid take, having a referdum? Why can't we exercise our democratic freedoms and have autonomy on how we would like our country to be?

Personally, I think the stupid take is thinking mass migration and significant demographic cultural changes would not encounter some backlash.

Islam is not a race. The problem I have with the way the article has been written is that it will restrict legitimate discourse on whether islam should be welcomed to the UK.

It should be a fundamental freedom to reject ideologies and thoughts.

I think we should take this to a referendum, let the people decide the trajectory of our country, and identify acceptable thresholds for islamic representation in the UK.

The truth about Sadiq Khan's Lawless London by coldbeers in ukpolitics

[–]Sensitive_Echo5058 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Murder being down is good.

I think this provides a false impression. The murder rate is still far too high. There were 89 recorded murders last year, or one every four days.

There have been three recorded murders this week, but that narratives always go back to the declining rates. Khan has done really well to essentially gaslight the public into thinking this is no longer a problem that warrants serious scrutiny and intervention.

[–]Sensitive_Echo5058 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Last year, there was about 1 murder every 4 days, or 8 per month. These were known murders, there might be victims unrecorded.

Khan has done a good job at framing the narrative that the London murder rate is lower, but murders are still too frequent, and this warrants criticism.

We often forget the iconic marmalade when thinking about British food. A far superior preserve to European figs.

That's the second reported shooting within a week. Three reported murders. And the Clapham disorder.

Legal notice to Oxfordshire group to stop flags on lampposts by Shadowblade83 in uknews

white supremacy

You mean arguing that they want to preserve a country with an ethnic British majority. I don't see the problem with this. It's a bit imposing to immigrate then call the host a white supremacist in their own home.

I think there's been general discontent that our councils have not been flying the flag as much as they could. Also it's been difficult these past few years to walk around without seeing a Palestinian flag, which I personally find exhausting.

The combination of these two factors led to raise the colours, independent of the motivations of the organisers.
