Many will end up in modern-day slavery, working to pay off a trafficking debt. The whole situation of immigration is complicated. It needs to be balanced and done healthily to help those in genuine need without allowing the stage red minority to maraud into the country and take advantage of the good-natured people. Individual cases need reviewing and managing correctly. Without expecting it to be 100% perfect. As said @Consept said we also need immigration to make the country function properly workers are required.

I don't know what country you are in, but this podcast is a good listen if you are more interested (if you can access it): https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001z1st You will realise there are many elements to the problem of migrants on boats. People smuggling is a big business. 800 this week, you said x £5000 / £10000 a head. So, the traffickers want people to come to the UK. I'm sure they will sell the dream as if the UK were the greatest place on earth. They are making money doing this. It's in the smuggler's survival agenda to do this.

I can't comment on the people turning up on boats because I don't know the facts and figures. It is an issue, for sure, and it does need to be fixed. I'm sure there will be people who are not genuine and people who are. There needs to be a proper system to process these people and send the non-genuine people back. You'll always get folks that break the law (aside from race/ethnicity). 1st or 10th generation, it doesn't matter. Sounds like you are asking anyone not British (this alone is a complex matter. How do you define this? It's not so easy) never to commit a crime. But is it okay for the native 'integrated' folks to commit crimes? I think the initial crackdown was to try to stop the rioting and get it under control, which it's done. Knife crime is another complex issue. Maybe @Consept can answer better than I could; he's worked with youth projects.

There's also been people sent to prison this week for attacking far-right people and also spreading mis-information online that the far-right are attacking when they are not. Both sides of the coin have be jailed.

The rates I can't answer. I grew up in the next town where there was a big Asian grooming gang in Rochdale. You will find a significant percentage of those convicted are 2nd and 3rd generation Pakistani men. They haven't just turned up on a boat undocumented; they were born here (I'm not making excuses, just pointing something out). In the case of Rochdale, there was also Romanian and Albanian gangs were also involved. So, it's not so selective to Asians. The problem needs to be dealt with, but don't be fooled into thinking it's an all-Asian problem. I'm sure the Romanian who stabbed the girl will charged with attempted murder. I don't think he'll dodge the law and be treated differently. I'm not sure why the government is a joke here. Knife crime is a problem for sure and a complex issue to solve.

Spot on. Of course, sex crimes are not selective to race/ethnicity. If people choose to believe this, they are rather stupid. In the UK, being mostly white, of course, the majority of sex crimes will be committed by white people; this is rather obvious to you and me. But let's ignore that because there is a Muslim grooming gang over there.

Like where?

Good for you for self-reflecting and thinking about this. I hope for sake of your country many other people do the same.

Oui oui 🥐

@NightHawkBuzz Are you open-minded enough to have your values change in the future? Or do you think your values are fixed? You are a Christian with religious values. I could come up with all kinds of reasons why I believe that religious Christian folk are bad for society and reject your human rights to be a Christian (of course, you'd disagree with me). But I wouldn't do that. I respect that you want to be a Christian, attend church, etc. Although it's not the path I want to take, I appreciate that it's what you want to do, and I don't try to force my values on you. Apply this same logic to gay people. You might disagree with it. But learn to accept it.

I'm calm. Like @Consept said, I'd prefer to stick to facts/figures. To make it clear, I have no issue with @Schizophonia. Once we started talking about this, I knew it would be a case of when rather than if the paedophile/gooming topic would turn up 🤷‍♂️

He's already spoken to Curt. The vibe I got from that video it was so massive for Curt to edit that I doubt he'd be so quick to do another.

I love Thailand and will retire there. If possible, Try to live there for a little longer, 3-4 months (visa/job/money permitting).

I suspect not. People like JP, Fridman & Rogan get in touch with you to speak and not the other way around.

Aside from all the usuals. That will mostly agree with what you are saying. ZDoggMD Tom Bilyeu (You already mentioned)

There are plenty of them. I can see @Consept linked to a few. I can add more if you need.

This is a half-truth. It seems to have started because false news was spread that the killer was an illegal immigrant who came over on a boat. And he was born in Wales, not Africa, and yes, before you say it, I do realise he's of African descent. But the chances are this fact alone wouldn't have started riots.

It's difficult to say. Of course, you can watch the news and make sweeping statements, but they'd be assumptions. One thing I do know: if you've got some direction and are working on a solid life purpose, you are not in the streets rioting and looting.

The kid was called Axel Muganwa Rudakubana. He was born in Cardiff, Wales, to Rwandan parents. So, he wasn't an immigrant or someone who came over illegally on a boat. Those were just false rumors. Your second point is a bit more complicated to answer. I'll have a think about it and maybe reply back if I have anything to add. Also London isn't sketch af.

I'm sure in his mind it's alright, 'cause he's all white

Of course. Circling back to the original post, this kind of thinking creates the Tommy Robinsons of this world. I remember listening to Jamie Bartlett on the Rebel Wisdom podcast some years back. Jamie mentioned that he's spent some time with Tommy and said he just consumed himself with the same one-sided stories. In doing so, it creates his whole identity and, with it, his survival agenda. The self-deception, double standards and hypocrisy become almost laughable. Ok, so we're talking murders. There were roughly 1110 murders in France in 2023. Are you saying you saw the news item for all of these murders and concluded that almost all were committed by Africans? Because I'm calling you out on your bullshit.

Ahh, I see. So you are basing your 'data' on what you see on the news. I'm sure you realise that the news reports on a very small faction of all crimes. So your comment, "almost every time a crime is committed", is intact, total nonsense. What you meant to say was that out of all the crimes you happen to see on the news, almost all seem to be committed by Africans. This is a different statement. It would help if you tidied up how you convey your message.

I wanted to clarify what you were saying because it was unbelievable. You've even stated there is no statistical data, yet you know for certain that almost every time a crime is committed (there will be 100k's of these across France each year), it's an African person who committed the crime. Are you witnessing every single crime to know this and keeping a record? 😂 Can you not see the absurdity in your comment?

So, if I understand you correctly, they don't have any ethnic-based crime statistics in France. And you are saying that each time a crime is committed, it's an African that committed said crime?

I've noticed this. I grew up in a multicultural city and now live in the rural countryside. Immigration seems to be a problem for people around where I live now (not for everyone), and the few I've spoken to about it have never seen or met an immigrant. Go figure 🤷‍♂️
