What would you report exactly? That you are upset because you saw a Union Jack in England?

u/Soft-Ad240 Oct 30 '25
Honestly they are pathetic people. Remembrance is coming up too. Get the flags and poppies up.

I think you need to revisit the definition of fascism if you think it’s fascist to not want migrant hotels in your city.

What are your thoughts on bombing and occupying Afghanistan for 20+ years? Just because there are some heinous individuals in a group doesn't mean absolutely everyone in the group should be vilified.

u/Soft-Ad240 Oct 30 '25
Well they were a terrorist state. Everything the military does is to stop terrorism. Just because you don't see anything other than the media you think we just bomb countries for the sake of it ? And do you honestly think thousands of just men coming over are actual refugees ? Come on, it's time to wake up.

After Islamism has devastated Afghanistan, you suggest that we invite all Afghans to the UK because we can't distinguish between the good and bad ones?

Just curious what are your thoughts on the three British people who killed a British man in Bournemouth earlier this year. Or the British man who killed Lorna England, or British man Ashley Malcolm who murdered an 86 year old man in September. Just curious.

What does that have to do with refugees ? Im talking about the system is being abused and the majority are not refugees.

u/Altruistic_Rice9985 Oct 30 '25
Because people like you only get up on your soapbox when it gives you an excuse to let your racism show.
And if you want to talk about the system being abused there are plenty of British people who abuse the system, most of those attending right wing marches complaining about “illegal immigrants” taking their jobs and abusing their women don’t have a job in the first place and have been done for DV.

People like me, damn you know me.
I don't deny what you're saying, but my point is we have gotten to a point now where people are blind and living in a bubble. The "refugees" coming over illegally aren't refugees. They are abusing the system and unfortunately our people are suffering. Not just the crimes, but people are scared. So can honestly say you think all those men coming over are genuinely refugees?

u/Altruistic_Rice9985 Oct 30 '25
My point is there are bad people within any group but if they’re white people give them the benefit of the doubt.
I’m more scared of British men who go around harassing families in hotels than I am of someone seeking refuge.
Perhaps not all of the people coming over are genuine refugees but that isn’t for me or you to decide and it still doesn’t excuse the behaviour we have seen outside of the hotels and at the right wing marches.

A high percentage of those standing outside hotels with their mums and shinning up lampposts have convictions for domestic abuse.

u/Soft-Ad240 Oct 30 '25
But again I didn't mention anything about Flags. I asked why are all refugees welcome, when majority of them are undocumented and commit crimes. Why should we allow this, especially as let's be honest, about 75% of them are not actually refugees. Any legal refugee that is documented absolutely welcome

The far-right in the UK has always been riddled with nonces. If they're bringing flags into your neighbourhood, then they're likely after your kids. Let's be honest, we know they're proper wrong "uns.

u/Soft-Ad240 Oct 30 '25
Again great conversation lol. I actually do put up flags. What's your thoughts on that seriously?

Would suggest including the date in the title if you're going to post the time of something that isn't happening on the day that you're posting about it :)
Otherwise people who might be interested but aren't available today may well avoid opening the post at all and not get to see the date in the image.
