I don't care what race they are but immigration is out of control if it wasn't obvious enough we are a small country (the same size as South Korea) our population is 66 million and that is bigger than both Canada and Australia which is very concerning as they are much bigger countries than UK we accept way too much immigrants but they aren't doing much to the British economy we have the same economic growth as Japan a country that doesn't accept many immigrants as other western countries it's already turning into a third world with all these protests we as a whole will never get along with diversity because of extremists and many religions mixing together as a country yes I know not every one who follows a religion is an extremist but there's quite the handful..

So your problem is with mixed religions ? Or all immigration?

You seemed more vocal (well typing) about the religions and protests (presumably the protests against the atrocities in Gaza?)

Or do you condemn all protests.

Thought one of the benefits of Brexit was going to be lower immigration from Poland etc. (Although I suspect UK did take in.more Ukrainians in the past 2 years)

Canada did as well. (Some high number...but don't recall)

I can understand a lot of frustration with immigration - partially in a nation that was more conducive to emigration than immigration (see Canada , Australia, US- places where the British relocated )

The recent protests seem sorta motivated /organized. Eg. Going after presumed Muslim immigrants when the assailant was not Muslim?

You also have to take into one additional fact: the Ukraine war has affected 3cobomic growth in several European economies. Much more than Japan.

Ukraine is obviously gonna suffer more than Japan as they are having a war with one of the strongest countries in the world

If your talking about the stabbing of those 3 girls then yes he was not Muslim he was a Christian with 2 parents from Rwanda it doesn't make it right either way but people used to stabbings as an excuse to do those violent riots

Makes sense

Ukraine is obviously gonna suffer more than Japan

I meant to compare UK economy to Japan...in terms of growth the past 2 years. Not Ukraine.

My bad if I typed it wrong
