Immigration

[Desert Region]

The only country that I can think of is Israel. Within living memory, Jews fled to what was then Mandatory Palestine to escape the rising anti-Semitism in some pre-WWII European countries, and the rise of Nazi Germany. This continued throughout the war, and in the immediate post war years until the State of Israel was created in 1948.

The PNP's description of immigrants taking over doesn't really jive with what happened in Israel. It's a lot more complex than that. And, in my opinion, re-taking a country from a colonial master is justified. However, I'm damned if I can think of any other country where something similar happened within living memory.

You cited an example, PNP, why won't you tell us where this happened?

If so, the PNP's position approximates to: "The Muslims are going to do here what the Jews did there."

Small wonder he's gone suddenly coy about naming his "within living memory" country.

Islamic Terrorism.

The attendant Counter terror measures.

Wars.

Our education system.

Free Speech.

Terrorism very little to do with our resident islamic communities

Wars????

Education system in their schools, not "ours"

Free speech??? Explain

I would dispute that parts of London Islam is as much as 50%...

Yes.

In 2011, the London Borough of Tower Hamlets was recorded as having "the highest percentage of Muslim residents in England and Wales" at 38%.

It would be reasonable to guesstimate that its current percentage of Muslim residents is within the 40% to 41% range.

The Home Affairs Select Committee heard the number has fallen from several hundred a year before Brexit, when an agreement was in place to return them.

Doh!

Typical Govt spin.....Personally, I find it unbelievable that a rag-tag stream of (probably unjabbed and untested) migrants could even be allowed to land. Quite possibly spreading Covid and goodness knows what else around the UK!

Like when we had EU free movement?

In or out of the EU, Covid restrictions on movement would be exactly the same.

I think I'll just appreciate the irony.

You are not helping the argument.
pnp is seriously worried.

Ah! I see what you mean.

Not for asylum seekers.
Once asylum is claimed in the Gov takes on all responsibility for Covid
quarantine arrangements.

"The rise in boat arrivals in 2020 partly offset the decline in asylum applicants arriving by planes, trains, and ferries."

Only because checks around ferry terminals, airports and trains has become tighter, the problem is simply that our process is too long winded, thanks to a combination of Border security and ambulance chasing lawyers, now let me think which government cut Border Force staff, immigration control etc
