We have allowed IMMIGRATION to become a colossal excuse! Everyone’s using it for anything!

I take no sides.

This has become a total and complete mess!

If humanity was a thing and we all acted like humans and not like animals, there will be no borders or passports or visas etc. People will be able to travel wherever they want, if they choose to do so. BUT that is presently not advisable nor possible as today, there are too many differences in belief, culture etc. There simply CANNOT be open borders, with anyone and everyone with any reason just walking in or taking a rubber boat in. It is simply not sustainable, but more importantly, it is not fair on any of the countries that are now suffering under that burden

But, is this an acceptable reason for people to be ready to riot and burn things down, every time they think it is a migrant that has committed a crime?! It seems we want anarchy! People want any excuse to give in to their hate and intolerance and the desire to burn things down!

The opposition to uncontrolled migration is very justifiable, if it is bringing in hordes of people who say they do not intend to respect the local norms, rules and culture. The behaviours and attitude is now just about this perception that people can just come into the country say they are fleeing persecution and that’s that. What we need, is for the government and responsible people to step up, take the opposition from those looking for reasons to riot, and have a set up a proper approach to this problem. Ignoring it is clearly not going to work, when each time one of the migrants commit a crime and people are out on the streets rioting. Now, it doesn’t even require proof nor confirmation; there just has to be a suspicion that a migrant is behind a crime and off they go, the locals are on the street rioting! It simply cannot go on

The government should also consider a 4 – 6 week moratorium on protesting in central London. Let’s all just agree to NOT carry out any protest for a couple of months and let people just go back to a couple of normal months. Yes, the world is in a mess and the right to protest must be upheld, but let’s pause for 2 months! So that anyone can go into central London at the weekend without fear of being caught up in one protest or the other!

The illegal migration problem is no longer about taking sides and yes, it does have any element of racism to it, with people jumping on the bandwagon to attack whoever they assume to be foreign. But we simply cannot keep having hundreds of people coming into the country via the English Channel. They are not all going to commit crimes; in fact, majority of them most likely won’t commit any crime. BUT migrants need to be able to integrate. We don’t want our cities in the UK to have to turn into other cities, we like them as they used to be, British Cities that do have a flavour of international cities, but we do not want to become those cities. It is surely a choice. People need to come here because they like what we are and how we are and what we have, and be part of it. Such positions should not be seen as intolerance or racism. There is no need to abuse or rioting etc. to be added to it. The government should help us all by listening and doing something tangible about the matter, so that everyone can calm down and we can return to how it was in the 90s when we all just tried to get along! Those seeking asylum should apply through the proper routes and get screened and settled. Nobody should be badging in via rubber boats

We must find a way back to some semblance of common sense!!!!

We – as a society – are in trouble because we have lost independent thinking. It’s now all ‘mass thinking’ guided by those who shout loudest or have the greater number of social media followers. The reality is that sometimes good people do bad things and bad people can do good things. Blind followership is a big part of the problem. Because you agree with someone on one point, doesn’t mean you start following them on every point! Agreeing with the need to address illegal migration doesn’t mean you hate foreigners or want to see people separated from their children etc. And those that disagree with addressing illegal migration doesn’t mean that they agree with migrants committing crimes in our communities. we need to be more nuanced. Instead, the debate is completely killed off, because everyone’s taken sides and nothing gets done. The least fortunate in society (poor folk) end up suffering as usual!
