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‘

Being concerned about 1,000’s of single men being housed together around the country, with nothing better to do other than hang around street corners is not being racist.

Yes cariadagain, yes he’s one of the main ones I watch. Very interesting & informative. I don’t watch conspiracy forums. I like GB news- all good presenters, especially Patrick, who has gone into these camps in France, risking his neck, to interview the migrants. He also set up an arrangement to be taken to uk on a rubber dingy- that was interesting.
June Slater is very good.
I watched something by the bbc on Lancashire cotton mills, on YouTube when the bcc were great. So not all doom & gloom.

We certainly need to stop pre-loading cards with Ā£50 a week ā€˜for essentials’. The irregular migrants are already being housed, fed and watered. We are too soft. Macron was right about the pull factor. Apparently some migrants are using their cards for gambling. Utterly ridiculous how stupid we are.

If food is provided with the accommodation they only receive £9.95 a week.

ā€œTiff Lynch, the head of the Police Federation, which represents rank-and-file officers, said forces were not ready for a summer of unrest. She said officers were being ā€œpulled in
every directionā€ and commanders ā€œforced to choose between keeping the peace at home or plugging national gapsā€.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Lynch said unrest in Epping was a ā€œsignal flareā€ for more to come. The federation added that already underfunded police forces would be forced to take officers away from neighbourhood policing duties to manage anti-migrant protests that turned violent.ā€
This is again from The Times. So, do people really want our police taken away from protecting us and our families from genuine crime because they’re having to police violent demonstrations fuelled by Neo Nazi groups? I do understand people’s concerns about illegal immigration but imo the people behind these protests do not have my interests at heart, they have a far wider agenda and none of it is going to benefit most of us.

I watch many of his vlogs, he is typically barrister, facts and more facts. Worth watching for his clear unbiased analysis of any subject

I have just watched him too, very worth listening to.

Stripeygran, I hope someone reports your offensive posts.

Have some respect for other posters, this clip from your post to Bukkie is very juvenile

""Can you get it into your thick head ""

No , I have zero respect for stupid racism.

Zero.

How can anybody confuse Southport with men in Hotels?

Casdon Overwhelming the police seems to be part of the plan. The theory seems to be that there aren't enough police to go round, if enough hotels are attacked.

I know, I think Farage lying about the police deliberately bussing in counter demonstrators was beyond the pale though. Very little press coverage, unsurprisingly.

It was reported in the Daily Mail that the police did escort pro immigration supporters, so Nige did not lie about it.

According to their account the police did not escort pro immigration TO the site, they escorted them away from it, for this own safety. There is a huge difference between the two versions.

I hate to break the news Mt61, but YouTube is hardly an unbiassed source of information. It's largely unregulated and just about anybody can use it as a propaganda tool.

PS. You'd probably be better informed if you read/watched a range of regulated MSM sources with different viewpoints. If two sources with known opposing viewpoints report something differently, you (as a rational human being) can decide which is likely to be most true.

YouTube and some of the internet in general has become a rabbit warren of conspiracy theories and propaganda. I'm afraid some people have disappeared in the maze of tunnels and are only exposed to the myths.

There is a very wide range of videos on this topic on YouTube of all descriptions.

Personally - I'd recommend the BlackBeltBarrister channels. He is a British barrister living in Britain (and yep...he can hardly be biased - he has a foreign wife). He's clearly highly-intelligent (as one would expect normally from a barrister) and he does some positively forensic analysis on topics he is interested in.

Most recently - he is focusing a lot on illegal immigrants - and worth a watch.

growstuff - you really are out of touch with what decent law abiding taxpayers want. We don't want our children and grandchildren to be unable to walk down the street because it is unsafe for them. We don't want our pensioners cold because their winter fuel allowance was spent on migrants in hotels. We don't want our homeless people sleeping in the cold this winter whilst illegal migrants are in warm hotel beds. We don't want them jumping the queue for social housing. We don't want SEN children in schools ignored because budgets are being spent on EAL children. We can't see a GP now let alone in the future if this influx carries on. We don't want another student like Libby Squire being raped and murdered. We don't want a repeat of Southport. Those beautiful girls and their amazing brave dignified parents deserve our support and love. What we do need is an end to our country being destroyed and Reform are the party to turn the tide.

Does that mean that I’m not a decent law abiding tax payer because I don’t approve of the racism stirred up by Farage and his followers?

What a great post, you have put our concerns so succinctly, thank you šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

Bukkie There were 253 recorded sex offences in the Epping Forest area in 2023. Did I miss the protests for them? I expect they were carried out by men. Are we going to exterminate all men?

The Epping Forest area is large. It covers the towns of Epping, Theydon Bois and Abridge, (villages), Waltham Abbey, Loughton, Buckhurst Hill etc. I know because I lived there for many years, and DD1 and family are there. It includes Chigwell too, (full of crims and dodgy dealers)!! We're probably talking around 150,000 people.
That doesn't excuse the sex offences, but in the bigger picture and all that ........

escaped Do you think the concerns are actually justified?

Of course, yes.
At this moment in time, the government is obviously very concerned about summer unrest, the police are concerned and no doubt poised for violent riots too, the councils are concerned for their towns, the locals are concerned for their families, and I'm guessing even the immigrants themselves are concerned too. Posters contributing to this thread are concerned, it's neither hysteria nor paranoia.

It's all a blight on our country, and anyone who doesn't feel concerned about the current mood is either unmindful or uncaring.

You have no idea who I associate with, as I say you are very confused in your thinking.

Strength in numbers, eh? Teazel

You have some delightful (?) people on your side.

Here are some comments from just on X (Twitter) thread:

Hope the protests are outside every hotel in every town in every county all at the same time! Overwhelm the police resources!!! Let the UK start fighting back.

This is the last thread of playing nice. Foreigners should exit while they have the opportunity.

It’s about time! Clean Western Civilization up!!!

Stop the Islamization of Europe!

Well let's hope it's a fire that will catch and grow. I pray for the UK

Bring your pigs with you. They believe that if one drop of pig blood touch them they will not going to paradise.

You know what to do if they don’t listen patriots. Light a match.

Start wrecking shit that support the invasion and the people who gaslight everyone. Get results this go round. It's past time.

We don’t want these unvetted sex pests in our communities, it’s not fair for our women and children. WHO AGREES? RETWEET ON X AN SICIAL MEDIA

The revolution has begun. It hasn't started until I see a British version of the SturmAbteilung marching through major occupied cities.

FANTASTIC PEOPLE DONT LET STARMER AND LEFTY ADJITATORS STOP YOU .

I know you guys don’t have firearms, but maybe show up with at least pitchforks and torches.

Bring your dogs and let them loose

I think you have become rather confused here and seem to think those of us concerned about levels of immigration are in agreement with the quotes you have given from X. Neither myself nor my friends nor posters on this forum have made such comments or agree with them. Why would you assume we can all be lumped together in this way?

MayBee70 - Farage and his followers do not stir up racism, they speak common sense and they speak for what many people now feel the country needs. Accusing people of being racist because they don't want the country being swamped with young men committing crimes is why the Southport riots happened last year.

Are you joking? Farage is an arch-stirrer.

Why do you keep mentioning Southport? The murders had nothing to do with current immigration. Do you want to rid the country of all young males?

I'm afraid I do think people who make these kind of links are racist (and not very well-informed).

Those who are calling people objecting ā€œ far rightā€ and ā€œracistsā€ should have been in Diss and seen the local Mums who just want their children to be safe. They are just ordinary parents who care.

In fact by calling people these names they are making ordinary people even more determined to have their say and join the protests.

They just don’t want undocumented single young men being housed in their small town and near to their schools.

Great example to their children. Showing it’s ok to threaten people and attack the police.

Nobody attacked anybody at Diss! As I said before, it was just a peaceful protest mainly from locals and parents of schoolkids.

Would you be happy with all these undocumented single men arriving en masse if you had a daughter going to school when one has been charged and gangs of them are hanging around teenage girls outside schools. Even the school has sent notes home to parents warning them.

Nobody has been charged with anything at Diss, so stop spreading fake news.

I live just a couple of miles from this asylum centre. There are hundreds of single men living there. There are children living in the area and two primary schools in neighbouring villages. AFAIK there have been no allegations of sexual abuse. Maybe people could stop thinking that I live in some kind of bubble.

Incidentally, my next door neighbours are black Africans. Next time I bump into them, maybe I should ask to see their work visas. They're perfect neighbours, but you never know ...

growstuff Fri 25-Jul-25 01:35:47

Maybee I wonder if they know. Homeland, which has done much of the co-ordinating behind the Epping and Diss protests, is a neo-Nazi group, which tries to present a "repectable" image in public.

Homeland exploits justifiable concerns for its own agenda. It's anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim, but its main ideology is anti-semitic. It promotes ideas about Jews holding global power and wanting to replace Western culture. They are not so much "in your face" as some other operators like Tommy Robinson or Paul Golding, but they're better political operators and more clever.

Their theory is that once social cohesion has been damaged, they can step in to take over - hence the attacks on the police and law/order.
