Thousands of them are crossing the channel in rubber boats every week, so the migrants must think they're safer than staying in FRANCE

Comment from : Kris Keeling

Our children are living in fear in Rochdale and many other areas with the culture that comes with refugees and asylum seekers
Comment from : Robert Bridgen

From the thousands of comments I have seen online, when considering the influx of illegal immigrants to the UK, I would say if many more come it will tip the balance and they will not be safe The British mentality of stopping this is increasing at speed, when pushed far enough they will snap It is the political parties that are happy but no the the mass population If I was from a foreign land I would not come here!

Comment from : A French bulldog named Esther

Are British people safe from asylum seekers ? Are the British taxpayers fed up with the huge sums of money spent on people who enter the country illegally ? Are British people fed up seeing their fellow countrymen and women homeless whilst immigrant are housed ? Are British people fed up with taxpaying brits losing their jobs because so many hotels are being filled with immigrants ? Are the students recently turfed out of their accommodation to make way for immigrants fed up ? These are the questions to answer And wouldn't it be good if these people actually acknowledged the number of crimes committed by some immigrants ? The uk is in dire straits, public services falling apart, in part this is caused by the mass immigration over the past 5 years No mention of the Islamic preacher in Manchester recently stating in detail if how to stone a woman ???

Comment from : The Utopia

How dare you label every day people are far right The UK has had enough, people are suffering, there are no school places, no doctor appointments, no dentists, no houses for our own peoplethats whyget your facts straight before you spread hate
Comment from : Christine Taylor

When any body of people willing take taxpayer money without their OK it is fair to say they will not be safe when it is so much a in your face rip off It has nothing to do at all with being right wing and all to do with what true Brits want or feel with a need to fight if needs be for the country they have made Anyone can play poor me, and throw their ID away, but in a society all have to pay their way Non paying gangs in hotels protected disregarding any Laws seems to be now not safe, on their own in the street they will have a major problem when costing the ordinary Brits and their families and getting much more than they ever would As this situation doesn't stop at hotels / free living and for many if not all it will be their lifetime of looking after on benefits funded of course by the taxpayer
Comment from : arthur lovell

All I heard here was the same narrative of far right, far right mentioned at every opportunity Not everyone is far right who are worried about this They are just ordinary citizens brbrI don’t class myself as far right either, but I’m a bit concerned about so many boat crossings and mostly by young men None of these men can be vetted For all I know they could be criminals or even worse And one person mentioned the earthquake and that the people in the hotel would be worried about their family and friends All I can say is if I were in their shoes, I would be with my family and friends helping to rebuild my country
Comment from : marcandsebe

😆 Nice to see Keep Islam out
Comment from : shakenharem

Just because people want to keep their loved ones safe doesn't mean they are far right
Comment from : Sian

It infuriates me Folk are making enormous amounts of money out of illegal immigration What these people don't realise is the general public who have to live with this daily We've had enough I'm not far right but I don't want them in my town Harassing young women Hundreds of fuelled testosterone men what could possibly go wrong They aren't welcome
Comment from : Maureen Barclay

Firstly , are these people vulnerable The majority look like fit young men ! brI believe the British public are at risk, we have unvetted people living within our community They could be anyone !! murderers, rapists, terrorists brThe majority of them come from an islamic country that treats women like dirtbrWhy should the British tax payer put up with this ? Especially when we have so many of our own homeless on the streets
Comment from : Alex Barnes

No they are not they are not welcome
Comment from : Big nigga

Social cohesion is under threat Im sick of the narrative always being the illegal immigrant What about our human rights A women was raped by a asylum seeker who entered illegally on a dinghy 40 days ago You get tensions because of the numbers infrastructure in under threat I'm not far right but I've had enough All the men that get off dinghies are fighting age men No women no children We are fearful
Comment from : Maureen Barclay

Comment from : Jamie Goss

Comment from : 1 1

Comment from : Rob 67

These are not 'far right' These are ordinary people aware their country is being taken over and that no government has ever consulted them And if they have no articulate political representation, expect more of this

Comment from : NIHILISTLIVESMATTER

The Cambridge Dictionary informs us of the true meaning of a racist as : [sic]'Someone who believes that their race makes them better, more intelligent, more moral, etc than people of other races and who does or says unfair or harmful things as a result' br But what if one (the observer) does not display any of these racist traits, and therefore forms an opinion based solely ( totally regardless of skin colour, country of origin, religion etc) and purely by way of careful consideration of that person's behaviour? br br The hotly contested problem of illegal immigration into the UK is a prime example Those that agree with illegal immigration into the UK have their own opinion, and we must respect that opinion After all, an opinion is just an opinion Free speech, as it were Absolutely no problem in that br The problem is that these people who agree with illegal immigration won't allow anyone who's against illegal immigration into the UK to have their opinion heard They immediately pull out all the stops and proceed to slander those people who don't have the same opinion as themselves as being racist; along with all the hatred and disgust that being falsely labelled a racist entails And for what? For simply not agreeing with their opinion? For standing up and saying that we don't agree with it? br As I've mentioned in the paragraphs above, it's not a question of being racist It's simply the forming of an opinion, derived soley from that person or persons' displayed behaviour br Let's take a look at the behaviour shown by these illegal immigrants coming over to our shores: br br These illegal immigrants are crossing over in boats in their droves on a daily basis, to illegally gain entry into the UK True or False? br These illegal immigrants are paying hard cash to criminal gangs in order for them to reach our shores and claim asylum They have no regard for the fact that the money that they pay these criminal gangs is used to sustain more criminal activity True or False? br The UK cannot possibly sustain the ever rising cost of accommodation, welfare, and social infrastructure requirements that the sheer numbers of these illegal immigrants demand True or False? br The UK has bent over backwards in order to help these illegal immigrants, but is continually slandered by various factions in not doing enough, yet those same factions do not have a clue as to the severity of this problem and do not in any case, offer a pragmatic solution to the problem, other than to 'keep letting them in' True or False? br Each and every country in the world has a right to defend it's borders against any and every incursion and these illegal immigrants choose to totally ignore that right True or False? brThe UK already has a chronic housing shortage The UK cannot house it's own UK citizens, let alone hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants True or False? br British families are being evicted from their homes in order for illegal immigrants to take possession of their homes True or False? br The illegal immigrants cross through many 'safe' countries on their journey to the UK, yet choose not to stay in those countries True or False br The UK economy and infrastructure has almost been stretched to breaking point, regarding transport/health/teaching/mental health/cost of living crisis/Covid, strikes, and many more negatives than mentioned here The illegal immigrants know this, but choose to ignore that fact True or False? br As we can see by the facts above, these illegal immigrants are continually displaying a total disregard and respect for the UK We all know that they are engaging with hardened criminal gangs in order to get here; and that in itself is criminal behaviour on their part; in that they are aiding and abetting criminal activity br Is it any wonder that the huge majority of the UK are forming a negative opinion of them? Their behaviour just plain stinks and everybody knows it br All said and done, they aren't exactly portraying anything like a good and decent image of themselves are they?

Britain has become a mixture between the villages of Africa and the continent of Asia and the indigenous people who became extinct
Comment from : O n a a s kith

There are no wars in Pakistan and Albania
Comment from : Stella Duigan

Having listened to this I feel that listening to the British people, the message is clear, to illegal immigrants, don't come here I'm not advocating for any group jut making the point that the idea that you can jump on a boat from countries like Pakistan and Albania and expect housing, a job and a better life, is a thing of the past British people themselves are struggling from high taxes and housing shortages Is that clear I met a couple from York lwho had escaped England because of Sudanese gangs, they no longer felt safe in their own countrybrAre the presenters of this show listening to our concerns or only the concerns of migrants
Comment from : Stella Duigan

What can be done to keep them safe, well, genuine refugees are very different to illegal immigrants Keep the latter safe by helping them to return home as sadly the idea that they are in the UK to avoid persecution is no longer an argument for keeping them here Let's help them to rebuild their own countries so that they can be sovereign and safe at home in their own country
Comment from : Stella Duigan

The guardian recently ran an article called “Don’t be surprised when asylum seekers are attacked” The example they gave was from 20 years ago when one of them was murdered So this answers your question They are not being attacked However it seems a few times a month there is a story about asylum seekers committing murder and r@pe But that doesn’t seem to be an issue

Comment from : White Ninja

Are we safe from them?, I don't think so! I've seen enough video's of these illegal migrants making death threats to us , screaming on our streets that they are going to take over , run the ship , making throat cutting motion's at British people They aren't here to fit in , they fight each other, they respect our values, they hate us , moan about their free accommodation and food while our military veterans live homeless in tents in the freezing cold This is a take over and we need to take a leaf out of Irelands book and fight it
