Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Keir Starmer has suggested the US is trying to interfere in British democracy after JD Vance, the US vice-president, blamed the murder of the British teenager Henry Nowak on mass migration.

The prime minister’s office responded after the senior Republican politician claimed in a post on X that Nowak would be alive “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Downing Street did not name Vance directly but said its response to his comments was that “in recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.

You literally said that the problem is a lack of oversight on the "kind of people" what kinds of people are you talking about? Are you talking about the habitual criminals that are easily detectable because of some physical trait? Maybe they have a particular style of facial hair, or a convenient "I am a gang member" tattoo, or perhaps it's just the colour of their skin who knows.
You're a racist, you might not think of yourself as a racist, but the way you choose to express yourself outs you as one.

More importantly though is the fact that you don't appear to have picked up on the key point, which is that these asylum claims are not being processed. You are angry about something that is in fact not happening, these people aren't been processed and let into the country despite being criminals, these people are not being processed yet are in the country anyway. If you want to solve the problem you actually have to solve the problem but the Conservatives decided to defund immigration precisely so they would be able to continue to have a group that they could hit with a big stick just to have something to keep the Gammons angry.
