I didn't say that as well you know )

I would rather the gov focused more on "illegal" drugs & real criminals.

And by a strange co-incidence (talking about criminals) the majority (60%) of those arrested recently protesting about "migration" had domestic abuse convictions and a significant number had in their possession drugs or were high on...

Would be up for deporting that lot to St Helena for some re-education.

But to cut a long story short, I don't have a solution but Farage & the Daily Mail certainly don't have one either !

Peace be with you...
"Still struggle to see why all this outrage over a relatively small number of "illegals" " ... sorry but that looked very much like "why all the bother, there aren't many crimes/criminals!

What is the ultimate source of your data re the background of those arrested protesting about "migration"?

Love to deport the wokey LL's to St Helena. Have you noticed the media always talk of the Left and the Far Right and never the Right and the Far Left!

The conservatives failed to stop the immigrants, Starmer lied he would stop them to win the election but Labour has failed to stop them. The (Far!) Left say Rwanda never worked, agreed, because it was never allowed to work. They also say Farage's plans won't work and they will do their best to make sure it doesn't work with their Rwanda like tactics. If you don't allow something you can't say it didn't work. If Haaland doesn't play this weekend you wouldn't criticise him for not scoring would you!

Just do a search: riots domestic abuse charges - it was reported widely...

"Police data released under freedom of information (FoI) laws shows that 41% of 899 people arrested for taking part in the violent disorder last July and August had been reported for crimes associated with intimate partner violence.

For those arrested by one police force, this figure was as high as 68%.

Previous offences include actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm, stalking, breach of restraint and non-molestation orders, controlling coercive behaviour and criminal damage."

==> Utter scum...

edit - and the point I was trying to make is that this sort of stuff (incl drugs) is way down on people outrage meter compared to a "relatively few" illegal migrants.. and I just don't understand why...

Ahh, so here we go with the stretched truth incognito as a lie! So it was only 1 police force ... the 60% figure you quoted was not over the whole. BTW I did a search and couldn't see a substantiated 60% figure anywhere on the first two Google pages. So I asked ChatGPT and this is how it responded ...

"... previously been reported to police for domestic abuse (source: The Guardian)

Important caveat: “Reported” ≠ “convicted.” Fewer than one-quarter of those with prior domestic-abuse reports had ever been charged for those domestic-abuse incidents. So the figures indicate overlap in police reporting histories, not proven guilt in those earlier cases. (Source: The Guardian)"

Did you notice ... "the Guardian" :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I don't see anything in your quote to say it was only the anti illegal immigrant faction ... based on your separatist logic they could have all been from the "we want immigrants and we want you to pay for them" bandwagon! Oh and if I may point out (as did ChatGPT above) they are arrests, nothing about being guilty ... it wouldn't be the first time the police have 'enhanced the situation' perhaps to justify their jobs. But we know it's perfectly OK for the wokerati and immigrant population to protest but not for others. Maybe if the police spent more time investigating grooming gangs and less putting a tweeting mother in jail I would have more respect for them. It's about time they spent their time on violent crime and not tweets. A machete on the street will always be more of a threat that a few words.
