Another stabbing by an immigrant. When do we wake up and smell the coffee?

I am so sad to read of yet another stabbing resulting in the death of an innocent 49 year old man.

How can our government standby and allow this to happen again and again?

I feel sad, frightened and in total disbelief that this is happening on such a regular basis.

There will be a revolution and God help all the politicians.

According to residents, a fight had broken out involving the suspect, who was allegedly living as a lodger in the home of the 45-year-old for the past six months.

Eyewitnesses claimed the suspect chased two victims out the house before the 49-year-old man, who was walking his dog at the time, tried to intervene. They claimed he was then cut across the neck.

A witness told the Daily Mail: “A local man who was with his dog tried to stop it.

“There was blood everywhere and the paramedics were there for at least 30 minutes trying to save his life. It was absolute carnage and very distressing to see.”

If you are referring to the incident in Uxbridge yesterday, when a 49ur old dog walker was killed there was also 14yr old boy who has had his throat critically cut along with a 30ur old man who was also stabbed.

A 28yr old man was tasered and arrested, there are images of him with the weapon all over SM.

Death penalty bringing back

Death penalty bringing back

Do you honestly think that would be a deterrent? The US has the death penalty and many times more homicides than the UK.

Not sure what waking up and smelling the coffee means in this situation?

The Afghan man wasn't someone who arrived by small boat. I don't know his background but I presume he was an immigrant who sought and gained asylum in the UK fleeing from a Taliban controlled tyranny. I would do the same.
This stabbing was horrendous but it's no reason to judge all other immigrants now or in the future.
Have you seen knife crime figures lately? It is our very own young men who make up both perpetrators and victims.

I would like a simple rule, no papers, no ID then no entry.

Mass deportations, I am not a racist but the majority of these people do not and will not integrate, ever.

I think I've entered a parallel universe where crimes like this, sadly not unusual, are only given press interest when it's "an immigrant"

Just an idea GS

I chose a town at complete random and looked for an equivalent, or worse crime.

Up popped this straightwayy - man and dog stabbed to death - by a local white man

Was this in the Daily Mail, readers? Shall I google some more examples for you?.

Wyllow3 maybe start a thread on white attackers?

What about stabbers who are born in the UK? There are plenty of them!

Babs03 Tue 28-Oct-25 17:12:38

There are very many stabbings in this country, perpetrated by gang members, drunks in numerous brawls after throwing out time at the weekend, and ‘usually’ male partners when committing domestic violence, am sure there are other examples.
This isn’t the monopoly of immigrants, far from it, but of course stabbings committed by immigrants, which are horrendous of course, make the headlines because the media knows its audience.
People are the same the world over.

You wouldn’t even know about those who are integrating because you never see them, they don’t make the news.

Wyllow3 Tue 28-Oct-25 17:14:18

The problem is actually rising knife crime. We'd do better imo to focus on "what can be done".. As illustrated in the TV series, "Adolescence"

These people? Who exactly are these people? My son-in-law's parents were immigrants. I assume you'd deport them.

How about Rishi Sunak's or Zia Yusuf's parents? What about Kemi Badenoch? Or Danny Kruger's parents?

I looked on the Get Licensed site, which confirms that nearly 50,000 serious knife crimes were recorded in England from July 2023 to June 2024, so I’d agree that it is a big problem. However your chance of being stabbed by a migrant rather than by a UK citizen is very small indeed. Reporting in the media distorts the true picture.
