Govt announces Ukrainian style scheme to bring thousands more migrants to UK

It is quite difficult if there are groups of predominantly men some of whom behave violently for people to decide which ones might be safe.
I think the mods did morph into the skinheads later on, they were I think originally peaceful but then split into the not so peaceful and quite racist in some cases.

Except they were born and bred here we didn’t import them

It is difficult. Equally difficult, perhaps, is recognising that those who turn up the volume, persuading people they alone understand these issues, rarely bring order. Fear may win attention, but it is a poor foundation for lasting solutions.

And if no one listens or tries to offer lasting solutions or offers them too late, then it isn't surprising when people look elsewhere.

I don't think it's true that no one is listening or working on these problems. Plenty of people are; they just don't make headlines because the work is slow, incremental and often unspectacular. Those who promise quick, simple answers tend to attract far more attention, even when their solutions don't stand up to scrutiny.

That is true DaisyAnneReturns. People expect instant solutions to exceptionally complex situations, aka the impossible.

They have been raising concerns for at least a decade, probably more.

So have people in other countries. We have world problems. Ours is a far from an isolated issue.

I have more individual stories but I'll shut up in the face of those who just won't see! Of course there are some arriving as economic migrants who need to be sent home, but OTOH we need some of them as reality hits our own people not working in various sectors as they are so badly paid and our birth rate. How many of us can be grateful of some incomer who has gone the extra mile for us in hospital?
I recall well an ambulance driver from a West African country (it was on the Channel 5 reality "999" who was so kind to elderly people he visited who lived alone and was sad our culture could leave out elders alone in that state? What makes us so superior?

Yes there are plenty of genuine nice people amongst the many hundreds of thousands coming into the country.
But really how many more can we keep taking in?
Our own culture is fast becoming eroded.
Happy holiday instead of merry Christmas! It’s just not on!

Erm I think you are wrong GF, I know at least three veterans that have bad mental health problems. All alcoholics & beg as they are homeless due to their problems.

I would say they are just blinking hypocrites.
