Realisitically without US funding how long can Europe, etc carry on constantly giving Ukraine money
For as long as they can leverage and give the money back, its not gifted aid

That's obviously a horrible experience.They were followed and it was a younger member of the family. Happens to be Irish as it happens.
Followed by two young (late teens) who called her a slut for wearing a skirt and made what she considered vile sucking noises with their mouth. Spoke in foreign language to each other. Which to her ear sounded Arabic.
The English they did speak was with such a heavy accent she assumed they had not been in the country long.
She is studying catering and the experience is one that us replicated by others on her course.
I said months ago my wife has had the same experience here in Brighton as have a young colleague from B&Q.
Think the people that are hostile to these sort of views being spoken about are fighting a war from years ago. Where they think anyone repeating anecdotal evidence is racist or someone like @markysimmo who i consider to have legitimate concerns, is racist.
When it really is not. A soft landing where the was more control would be best. Because without that we are then headed for our own Trump and I don't want that.
What comes before sets the tone for what comes next.
The flippant remarks are not really appropriate when Mark says his concerns are around people coming here who do not share our society's values.
My wife has herself and other female friends and colleagues been followed and verbally abused by people around Brighton, Norwich and Exeter by people with distinct accents who shout abusive things in broken English.
It is always going to be the case that you will have problems in a country. But importing problems is madness.Terrible experience for your wife.
My daughter was, however, verbally abused by a group of young men (who were very definitely white and British) in the centre of a Dorset market town on Saturday evening as she was coming out of an Indian restaurant.
Not sure where to send them to. Maybe Hampshie, or West Sussex?
Arseholes are arseholes.
Yep and the world is full of them of all colors and races.Terrible experience for your wife.

And yet no studies in this country have found a correlation (let alone a causation) between immigration and increasing crime levels.
In fact crime levels have fallen in most categories despite record numbers of immigrants (illegal and otherwise).
Well it seems the are more and more incidents where the police discourage reporting of incidents.And yet no studies in this country have found a correlation (let alone a causation) between immigration and increasing crime levels.

Then in the case of my wife and relatives they did not report being harassed as the I'd the opinion formed that the police do not care about women being harassed if it is from certain sections of society. As seen by the appalling reaction of the Police in Rochdale over the grooming gangs and how they treated the young girls reporting it.
I honestly thought this country had moved forward in it's treatment of women and that we all felt they should be treated with equality. But when I read this thread I think people are far more concerned with being politically correct then seeing an obvious problem with allowing young men with a very different culture and belief system in.
People are seeing the same problem all round Europe and it's not racism. To ignore it shows how well the liberals have brain washed you. To parrot the same tired chants of it's the right wing media whipping up hate actually downplays the lived experiences of thousands of women. It's rather odd that you think it's OK.
Nothing to do with being politically correct it's having to listen to absolute bias in commentary. Not everyone from varied and religious backgrounds are a problem, not all migrants are an issue. Saying that doesn't make anyone politically correct, just makes them correctWell it seems the are more and more incidents where the police discourage reporting of incidents.

Don't think anyone has ever said all immigrants are a problem. My wife is one and though a bit annoying I would not say she was a problem.Nothing to do with being politically correct it's having to listen to absolute bias in commentary.

Mate there was three accounts (under one person maybe) saying exactly that.....Don't think anyone has ever said all immigrants are a problem. My wife is one and though a bit annoying I would not say she was a problem.
But then the Irish have a similar culture to us and people coming from Ireland will be used to a similar legal system as us, of course some will still break the law as will happen from anywhere.
The news is very biased, both sides.
It is the complete denial to admit that the is any sort of issue with these young men coming to this country illegally that I find mind boggling.Mate there was three accounts (under one person maybe) saying exactly that.....
I'm all for people being held accountable but I'm for all people being judged as individuals not under a banner.....unless they are Liverpool fans
PotatoHow many more illegal immigrants does Norfolk need to tip the gene pool balance back towards 20 digits?

Also scary because I know what sadly will come next. A more controlled system would still mean we took our responsibilities to look after a manageable amount. But the liberals who seem hell bent on a completely uncontrolled system and who ignore the reports of ever increasing amount of women. Will result in a backlash and a massive pivot to the far right.
I see what has happened in America, I know the sort of people that admire Trump and this is a key point where you and I disagree. The people that like Trump have not been conned by him. They were waiting for him because of how the left behaved previously.
It is the same in this country. It is by the way not Farage you need to worry about. But someone will come along and the concerns of millions of people and a lot of justified concerns at times will be used for power and we will end up with our own Trump.
It is why I keep saying a controlled soft landing is what we should hope for. I fear the way Europe is going it is already to late.
Have heard a few already what I would call sane people say that Putin might he the saviour of Europe. Which I called them out on.
People on here say about USA heading for a civil war, I see the same in Europe and it is fault of people like Merkel for her open border policies.
After Trump won in America the were many on here saying we need tou learn and understand why this happened. Do people really want to understand?? Or do they want to stay in their guardian reading echo chamber?
But that is the point that people are trying to make. They are trying to make the world fairer.Thats as much about people believing rubbish as it is anything remotely political IMO, its hard to fight against. I am not suggesting people give up but what do you do? Fight lies with lies?
With people like JFK Jnr and Musk spouting lies in the White House, before you even get to Trump, how do you convince people sat at home behind their laptops of the truth? I think people are so far down rabbit holes of utter rubbish and hate now that we are sadly very much beyond the pale.
Like you I am seeing it in the UK, I use twitter for Spurs stuff nearly exclusively and there are big accounts in that land who are well into Trump, Musk, Robinson and Farage and they just won't have it about stuff. Posting links to the Epstein links with Hudson Odoi on it, claiming its real and not backing down when pointed out, posting videos that are proven with one quick search to be out of context or even AI...........I mean what do you do for people like that? A group thats sadly growing in vast numbers? Play up to the lies? Fight it? OR call it out for rubbish........
I am 42, so I am in the last 2 odd years of my working life, I am at the point where In life at home I make sure mine is in order, my family and friends are ok and TBH I have given up on the wider world and how it thinks, I care of course, but not enough now to let is darken what are is the last half of my living life. TBH There are just too many Cnuts in the world and too many more who worship them
