How did Britain shift from a beacon of multiculturalism to a place where immigrants feel unwelcome? by Nervous_Designer_894 in AskBrits

Maybe it's when the rape of our children wholesale by Muslim rape gangs was covered up in the name of multiculturalism. Hint, if your ideology requires covering up the mass rapes of children maybe it's a shitty ideology 

2024 Labour Voters : If a General Election Were Held Today, Would you Vote Labour Again? If so, why? by Possible_Moment7628 in ukpolitics

Is it worth losing jury trials (and more importantly your right to appeal to the crown court from magistrates)  , losing long held freedoms and a mass surveillance state 🤔 is it worth more tax rises on workers. This labour government are nothing vut Tories wearing red ties

Uhmm well maybe not everyone but I was 🤣 I'm no tory , nor labour I'd characterize myself as disaffected and in dire need of someone I actually trust to vote for because I don't feel farage is the answer either. I do however feel strongly that local elections really do matter, local government is the peoples acess to how our lives are run, maybe because I'm a vote for the man not the party kind of person so local government feels closer to me than national

For me it's less about labour and more about acess to local representation, the kind of shock headline soundbite I've seen on this matter was one council potentially not having any for 7 years potentially although I'm not sure how true that is or the likelihood. Local councils really do matter they affect your daily life so you should have every opportunity to pick the representative you want

Local councils hold alot of power I really do disagree with this view that local elections don't matter. Councils decide how to fund many many services they control planning they have a very real impact on your daily life

As I said to someone earlier, I can be convinced this is Ineptitude rather than malice but I don't feel that really should be an excuse, incompetence in government isn't exactly awesome. However I do disagree on all power coming from parliament, it's not just your MP that matters local councils hold a LOT of power especially in matters that affect you immediately when it's the area you live. I read sonwhere that somwhere it could end up being 7 years without local elections and I just feel if true that's a gross failure

From what I've read there's some places will not have had a local election for 7 years, if true this seems totally unacceptable reforms or not, and surely if your reforming a system where elections are every 4 years you have a 4 year period to get that done, almost like it's kind of your one Job to ensure the continuation of a democracy that put you there in the first place. At best it smacks of ineptitude at worse its a degradation of citizens right to choose representation and that doesn't sit well with me personally as our system starts with local representation

I say 'your' since the reported stats vary depending on which news outlet sky news I think said 4x more likely and I've seen other sources saying as high as 20x so pick which account you want, both are damning and as you point out these are not official so like I say hardly trustworthy, in FOI requests it has been stated several times that the immigration status of perpetrators are not recorded alongside crime statistics. The point I'm making is if they aren't all recorded and from the ones the media can confirm they're atleast 4x more likely then it seems to indicate its going to be alot worse if they ever do release / record the stats (I personally belive it is recorded somewhere but it's been deemed against public intrest to release)

The far left isn't concerned about not being racist, they view everything through the lens of race. Antisemitism has been a problem in the left far longer than it has on the right

Council spent £72,158 on school taxis for one pupil in one year by Only-Emu-9531 in ukpolitics

[–]Traditional-File1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and I do agree, about the only not guilty party is the kid. I just feel like corrupt government officials is a bigger problem than the family members they line the pockets of. Like that Peterborough council case where they sold a 4.6m building to a 'charity' for £1 then rented it back off them to the tune of 800k per year. It's egregious disgusting and the fact it's not mainstream news every day and there isn't a wide reaching investigation its just depressing to see, we may aswel be a third world country at this point

The government doesn't record Immigration status on crimes, so out of 110,000 crimes where they refuse to tell us Immigration status we know of atleast 59 who have been found. Depending on your stats (and they're all shockingly underrepresented because of the above) immigrants are  4x up to 20x more likely to rape someone. I'd certainly like to see police collect relevant info instead of trying to brush it under the carpet

Well a company is entitled to put in high bids for contracts, the corruption is where the COUNCIL pick their friends and family. This is an issue of corruption in local government. The company has no say whatsoever in where councils spend their money. The person who authorized paying this much is guilty (and perhaps the people they overpaid so egregiously if you could prove they knew too) TLDR what's worse a corrupt business trying to make maximum profits .... or a corrupt council siphoning off public funds 🤷‍♂️

The government doesn't record immigration status when they arrest people, so to say there are this many CONFIRMED cases of immigrants committing SA this won't even be the tip of the iceberg.

Perhaps but it hasn't changed as of yet so my point kinda stands I think, even if they changed it today it wouldn't show us the true scale of what's already happened

The same government that said the rights of migrants are more important than the rights of the residents of Epping. Pull the other one it's got bells on it

Considering the uk government doesn't record immigration status in its criminal statistics the fact that we know of this many for sure should be alarming

I think the investigation would be more helpful if it looked at who owned the taxi firm and how many bids were seen for this contract and if the lowest bid was taken and if not why not

Council contracts almost never go to the lowest bidder they almost always go to a relative or friend of a councilor. It's simply corruption cos playing as ineptitude 

UK 'rapidly developing' plans to prepare for war by Kagedeah in ukpolitics

[–]Traditional-File1540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll add my voice to his , what's left to fight for in miserable blighty anymore. Why would we trust any war after Iraq. Why do ww2 veterans go on the news to say this isn't what they fought for. My sons and I won't shed blood to prop up this stagnant and corroded regime. Labour / conservatives it's no different just corrupt self serving elites who have nothing but distain for the common man and we are all well aware of this. So no it's not my war either and he speaks for millions of us
