Good news.

Park Hotel at Diss, Norfolk have just announced they will not accommodate single men illegal immigrants.

There were protests at the hotel a few nights ago because locals do not want this small town invaded. It was peaceful until the pro migrant groups turned up who don’t even live there.

Anyway, well done the Park Hotel. šŸ‘šŸ‘

There are some really awful racist, islamophobic and hate speak comments on this thread.

I think the mods should shut it down.

I was thinking last night that it doesn’t look good for the forum having threads like this; and they seem to be posted on a daily basis these days…sad

And it doesn't help that racism is being read into posts where it doesn't exist, too.

Someone asked the question a few days ago, should there even be Politics threads on GN. I was partly tempted to answer yes, based on all the unpleasantness, but maybe that's just my opinion.

Why is that being racist, that a local business man doesn’t want to house migrants.
Where do our friends & family stay when they come from Scotland, or from down south. (My neighbours daughters wedding venue has been cancelled at a minutes notice, to house migrants) if there are no hotels? It affects the local people surely. Nobody is being nasty. It’s just a fact.

Sarnia The story about the Skegness Hotel owner was on my local news at the time. Good for him for having morals. It doesn't matter what we call these people we don't need them taking resources from people who have paid taxes all their lives when then have contributed nothing. It is disgraceful our pensioners were cold last winter, our homeless people rely on wonderful charities and our schools and NHS are at breaking point. You only need to watch the news to see most crime is commited by these migrants, yet the politically correct do-gooders refuse to accept this.

I don’t understand your comment that I am a know it all! I have commented on the London hotel is still taking books.
My friends neighbour attacked at the side of the woods. Great for the guy who doesn’t want his hotel used for migrants, so why am I a know it all? Please do tell.

Demonstration taking place outside an ā€œasylum seekersā€ hotel in Norwich today.

Veterans have camped out in tents beside the hotel overnight.

Mt61 - I don't know what you mean by the comment, "Don't talk rubbish." But I assure you my previous posts are my own thoughts. I do cry when a child is murdered. And I still don't know how to copy and paste on Gransnet. Perhaps being such a know it all you could teach me.

Why do you say I am a know it all? Bukkie I don’t think I am a know it all/ give me an example!

Excuse me if this has already been mentioned but has anyone seen the Channel 4 documentary 'One Day in Southport?'

It used real time footage to show how the horrific deaths of two little girls caused a public outcry and how quickly things can get out of hand...

What happened to 'Keep Calm and Carry On? The only people who came out with any dignity were the bereaved parents- one mum, spoke for most decent, caring people.

Its about time these Hotels thought about the impact on local people. It causes misery.

I agree but it's about time the government started thinking about the locals too - after all it's the locals that vote them in.

The government is planning g to move them into empty housing around the country. Starmer says there are plenty of empty houses so there might be some near you. This has already happened in Ireland.

There’ll be plenty on GN who would LOVE that😱😱😱

Someone just said on Sky News that asylum seekers used to be put into social housing a long time ago but because there was a public outcry about it they were put into hotels.

The men will start turning to date British women who have Council homes. Story after story. Many of them once settled somehow do bring family in or create one

That is what has made the British who we are today, if you think about it.

This is a trend I've noticed in recent years generally for men - not a nationality-based idea.

I was warned by women here when I moved to West Wales - and had woman after woman telling me that there was a noticeable contingent of men here that are looking for a woman who has "more" than them (starting with having a secure home - preferably one she owns) and then the man moves in. I've yet to hear of a woman here moving into a mans home. This is British men we are talking about and I've watched a fair number of men doing this by now. There was me thinking my "dating days" are behind me now - and yet there was a British man I'd just met during the week just gone starting to try and figure out what my circumstances are and he'd already figured it out I own a home and he doesnt (despite being in his late 60's) and I could feel he was starting to try and suss out my level of commonsense (or otherwise) and trying to "put a foot in the door" ingratiating himself.

It seems to be a recent male thing - nationality irrelevant - for men to look to a woman to help support them.

What's the problem if they love each other?

OMG Best laugh I’ve had in weeks! 🤣🤣🤣

You cannot possibly have missed reading about foreign waiters or goatherds who claim to be in love with female visitors to their countries. Every week there is a story about how they dupe these gullible women into marrying them (for a British passport) or giving them money in huge amounts.

Educate your daughters not to be so stupid!

Is that victim-blaming?

Germany is building a huge deportation centre in Munich to get rid of all the illegal immigrants they now have!

So Angela Merkel’s great plan to take in millions of them went well didn’t it?

And educate these men not to prey on vulnerable women and then, when they have got what they want, whether it’s a British passport or a load if money in their account, they do a runner.

Milsa - that is entirely up to me if I feel this way. In a lot of pain. Fed up seeing horrible stuff on the tv. I am not telling anyone else to feel that way, just that I feel like this!

Granny Gravy - spot on but grow stuff and Mt61 seem determined to ignore people's concerns and stir the pot. I do not know what the cut and paste comment is about because the post was my own words and I certainly haven't seen anything on You tube. Of course I cry when a child or adult is murdered. The loss of a life in any dreadful circumstances in an untimely manner is to be mourned. Any decent human being would.

Don’t talk rubbish Bukkie!

Growstuff, misplaced assumption: I have not asked : what is the problem. Read upthread: someone else asked it

I do genuinely actually would love to see the boats stopped.

ps: about the muslims taking over....well, I do not know about this. I hope the authorities do not sleep on that one but alongside their pc protocols, have actually real measures in place. I am not here to live with Sharia law.

Hmmm ... I wouldn't worry about that - it's not going to happen, but it does sound as though you might be happier in a regime such as that in your birth country.
