And did anyone else read that a adult male at Belfast Airport was arrested for handing out anti-invader leaflets. As Richard Littlejohn used to say, "You couldn't make it up, we're going to Hell in a handcart". The muppets in power who pretend to want the invasion stopped - take a leaf out of Orban's playlist. The EUSSR are trying to force Hungary to accept more invaders or they will fine them. Great response from Orban - "If the EUSSR want more invaders then we'll send trainloads of them to Brussels, with free one way tickets". Absolutely brilliant. If only our political buffons had thought of that, the UK wouldn't be in it's current situation.
A fine post Sir. Exactly the same over here except for the fact that we have the misfortune to still be part of this appalling EU.

Re: Riots in the UK
Yes James, but West Indians spoke the same language, had similar family values and were happy to be here. They became integrated. They didn't want to change Britain into replicas of their homelands. Didn't want us to permit female mutilation. They didn't want to slow torture kill animals for food. Didn't value death over life. Didn't want to copulate with underage children - unlike so many of the later invaders. Opinions are like a*seholes - everybody has one, it would be real boring if we all thought the same. Have a nice day. PS Churchill didn't allow 5th column invaders to flood Britain, luckily.

Well not that long ago that those of the Windrush generation were being sent back(Theresa May) and the embarrassment of the Windrush Scandal.
Odd that so many people are under the impression that a certain community here in the UK behave as suggested by yourself.

Um!! so they never expierenced racial abuse.
What was it used to appear on the Doors of some lodging houses

Re: Riots in the UK
James, why did you mention blacks, irish and dogs? I don't have a problem with THEM. I married a pure bred Irish girl, my sister married a hard working W.Indian 22 years ago (and have two well educated kids) and I've had dogs all my life.

Re: Riots in the UK
Hi John, was in Amsterdam for a long weekend with my late wife and a couple of good friends over 20 years ago. We stayed in a place next to a lake called Der Lokeend a few k's away from the city. We both loved every minute of our stay. it. In May of this year I returned together with my son and his wife. I couldn't believe the changes. I can't think of a single reason to recommend Amsterdam. Hassled everywhere we went by non Europeans trying to sell us 'chemical substances'. The UK has gone down the tubes but really sad to see what the EU has allowed to happen. Have a nice day.

Re: Riots in the UK
Gino everywhere has changed and agree not for the best. But I know plenty of people from multi racial communities most are decent hard working people.
In every community there are bad apples no matter what their supposed faith is be it Christian, Hindu or Is(la)m or Jewish.
Rochdale & Oldam certainly hit the headlines due to the grooming and abuse of those vulnerable children. Some of those children were in the care of social services. Sadly that is probably only the tip of the ice berg.
What is wrong is when they are caught and convicted jailed they appeal and delay justice for as long as they can. They will use every trick in the book to tie the law up in knots for years. 4 of those convicted were to be deported back to Pakistan as they had dual nationality. They relinguished there Pakistani citizenship and legal rangling continued for years. Not sure if they ever were sent back. Half those are out on licence some did 18 months of a 4 year stretch. The legal system in this country has become a joke. It should have been when the deportation order was handed down , straight down the stairs into a prison van and straight up to Manchester Airport on the first flight back to Pakistan. Yes they do have the right to appeal but someone should have instructed them they appeal from Pakistan.
Ever remember the politician Cyril Smith, Liberal MP for Rochdale for many years so it is not just Asian menthat like children.
Just mention that a lot of these incidents happened under the government that has just been voted out and not the new lot, time will tell how they fair!!!

Re: Riots in the UK
James,I agree with you 100% about our (in)justice system. Also I well remember that disgusting piece of excrement, Smith - may he and his ilk rot in Hell for eternity. And you're right about perverts in other religions. We all know about Catholic priests and altar boys. And you're so right that the Rochdale paedos should have been shipped back to where their perversions are accepted as 'normal' Why on earth are they allowed to fight deportation from Rochdale, backed by shyster 'uman rights' lawyers getting fat from legal aid that us suckers are paying for. Maybe I should accept that disciples of the death cult should be permitted to tamper with babies. After all, their prophet married Ayisha when she was six years but, as he was such a good man, he didn't consumate the marriage until she was nine. (look it up) And truth be told, if Jes*s Christ said it was OK to copulate with kittens then many Christians would be doing so because their spiritual leader said it was acceptable. However JC didn't. As you said, time will tell about our new masters, so far signs aren't encouraging. They're already targeting us pensioners. Starmer was DPP between 2008 - 2013 and, it's alleged, he didn't want the Rochdale paedos to face 'justice' for fear of upsetting the local population. Have a nce day.

The public prosecutors did prosecute cases of grooming gangs under Starmer’s direction. A case was initially dropped due to victim credibility issues.

Re: Riots in the UK
James, you like facts here are some from the UK Home Office at the weekend.
To date.
5492 boats have arrived via the English Chanel.
19,000 persons year to date to date.
According to the French some 25 have drowned
492 arrived Saturday including 107 at Dover.
It is estimated that unless Labor do something some 40,000 will arrive over the next 12 months,
34% of the population are extremely worried about the current situation and anticipate the situation will get worse.
As to comments about different cultures and nationality I married an Irish lady.
We have some 187 different nationalities here in Oz, yes we do get the occasional problem but nothing compared to that of some in UK.
Yes many changes in any country, some for the better.
But what we saw in London, particulaery in the northern parts shows a problem is growing at a rate of knots.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: Riots in the UK
#119 People who have lived with the problem today for years John don’t seem to notice it until it’s too late . The likes of those who live outside the uk and go back at intervals it is like a smack in the eye out of the blue . The uk populance have been indoctrinated to believe every thing in the garden is Roses , the truth appears to some and they don’t like it.
It’s only going to get worse unless someone in authority stands up and says enough is enough and backs his/her words with actions. I’ve only lived permanently in Australia for 33 years , but was an irregular visitor from 70 years ago so know how Australia has changed over a period of that time. Mostly for the better. This has been mainly on the control of immigration , which also has slipped within the past 20 years or so by letting the wrong clientele in its doors, so hope whoever is in the big house in Canberra can get his/ her act together.
