I don't know what breibrat is but i know from my own personal experience that behaviour when they are on their own or even two or three is very different to how they behave once they have numbers. Last thirty years have been an unpleasant eye opening for me in relation to a certain community that i once fought to defend and have had to face the reality that integration and becoming part of our society is not on their agenda. I've seen them mock this country for it's laid back attitudes and even to the supplying of translators to aid them it's seen as a sign that we are weak. I think given the choice I'd have preferred to keep the naive hopeful view i had in the mid to late eighties rather then the jaded more prejudiced view i have now.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned that he will let hundreds of thousands of migrants travel on to Europe if pushed by the EU.
He was reacting to a non-binding vote by the European Parliament to freeze talks on EU membership for Turkey.
The MEPs were alarmed by Mr Erdogan's "disproportionate" response to a failed coup attempt in July.
The migrant numbers reaching the Greek islands have dropped since an EU-Turkey deal in March to curb the influx.

I do wonder sometimes at how the sort of unpleasant events and behaviour we see in the UK directed at certain minority/migrant groups are compared with the sort of behaviour which is evident across Europe which so many people here seem to turn a blind eye to when it suits their argument.

Immigration to the UK has risen to a record level with 650,000 migrants in the year to June, the Office for National Statistics has said.
There was also a record number of EU citizens coming to live in Britain with the figure standing at 284,000.
Net migration - immigration minus emigration - remained at a near-record high at 335,000.
Most of the period covered by the figures was before the EU referendum but includes one week after the poll.
Net migration to the UK was the second highest figure on record - just behind the 336,000 for the 12 months to June 2015.
The number is still significantly higher that the government's target of "tens of thousands" by 2020.
Net migration from the EU was the highest figure on record with the number standing at 189,000.
Now there's a surprise... :rolleyes:

It takes a lot to make someone leave a country. Nazi Germany was obviously far worse than anything we're seeing here and yet there were many persecuted groups who remained until it was too late. There are costs involved, the emotional distress of leaving your home and life, family ties and more.

There was a feature about this on the BBC earlier today that said that there is also evidence to show that they are no longer prepared to do the hard to fill vacancies in the UK eg fruit picking.

I think that immigration can have some benefits to us (though the disadvantages outweigh them), but if they're going to start being choosy about what work is expected of them, then this is one less benefit that they can offer and even less of a reason to allow them in.

After watching the BBC season on Black Britain, I feel the same about the black people coming here in the fifties.

This was only ever meant to be a stop gap to help us out with hard to fill vacancies and they were then expected to go home.

In the end they stayed and started expecting (and got) the right to be the bus driver instead of the conductor.

This was not the original agreement or plan.

I met an ex-neighbour today. He was "temporarily" housing 2 other recently-arrived immigrant families in his private-rented home until the landlord found out.

Now that's 3 immigrant families homeless. And there are no free homes to rent that they can afford or who will take them on.

He said there is a rush to get in and have babies before the cut-off point for Benefits next Spring.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
There my be 650.000 migrants that have come here. But what about the illegals that have entered the country and disappeared.
I think the government need there heads examined. Wee don't have Corbyn challenging this.
What we have here is a situation where, when employers will use the migrant crisis, as a great way to employ staff at a vastly reduced wage.

Gone are the days when employers will look for staff and pay a paltry wage of 13 grans a year. As they will know that a migrant will take.

Its extra pressure on the NHS - and before people say it wont. Look at this fact. At the moment, the NHS is in deep crisis. And cannot cope with the extra pressure at A/E. N beds etc etc.

If a Migrant becomes ill they will go straight t A/E and use it.

No l think its about time that we close the borders, until such time that the Government get a hold of this crisis. And Corbyn pulls his finger out and challenge the Government on the Migrant problem

Conditions in Nazi Germany were a tad different from those prevailing here and people were prevented from moving on a massive scale.

There are costs emotional and financial costs involved in everything. That's life and ever increasing numbers of people are deciding that life in the UK is worth all that. The UK is far from perfect but there's a great deal more racism and right wing extremism either endemic or growing fast across Europe than there is here.

Yep the way some talk you'd think we had gangs of brownshirts walking the streets clubbing anyone that looks like an immigrant and getting together in town\city centres to burn some books. The often mentioned thing is the supposed increase in reports of racially motivated attacks following brexit and that was proof that we were closet right wingers. I'd be curious how many of those reports ever went further then the report stage and i doubt the number would be very high.

The UK is far from perfect but there's a great deal more racism and right wing extremism either endemic or growing fast across Europe than there is here.

The point about the Nazis wasn't to compare scale but that even the most extreme circumstances people don't always leave their homes. In Germany they did have chances to leave but many didn't (ditto East Germany btw, before the wall) and then it was eventually too late when they made it harder. There is an intense human instinct to remain where you've built your life. When you say there is little stopping them leaving it's true logically but not emotionally. People put up with a lot.

I agree with you that the UK doesn't have as big a problem with racism as some other countries in Europe although I would caution that as White Britons we're not in a great position to make such judgements. I don't think we're a hotbed of right wing extremism but I do think it's a problem we need to keep an eye on. Part of the reason for it is we're vigilant about it, people are quick to call out. We should remain so and so rather than compare ourselves to other nations we should compare to our own values and if we seem someone acting against that then we put a stop to it.

The Brexit vote was not racist. Most Brexit voters are not racist. There did seem to be an increase in xenophobic incidents after the referendum because some people are stupid and thought it meant something it didn't. Brexiters or Remainers these people needed to be clear they were in a minority and they do not have likeminded friends in either camp.

Migrant Arrested After Rape and Murder of EU Official’s Teen Daughter
Quote:

An investigation determined the daughter of a senior European Commission lawyer had been raped, and then drowned.

The subsequent investigation into the death of Miss Ladenburger was spurred on, Die Welt reports, by intense public interest in the case and pressure being placed on police to find the rapist. After 68 detectives followed a reported 1,600 leads and interviewed 1,400 potential witnesses the 17 year old migrant was arrested, as revealed by police in a press conference on Saturday.

Although the arrested man has not been named, it has been revealed he is a recent arrival to the country, having come to Germany from Afghanistan as an asylum seeker in 2015. Police said the man had a previous criminal record, having been investigated for “illegal entry”

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
Tragic. Sadly it's not the first and won't be the last example of a 'refugee' repaying their hosts in this manner and their victims are the collateral damage of a flawed system which allows plenty of people in but clearly doesn't provide the means to support them. We're admitting all sorts of people into our western society, some of whom are highly dubious characters who have been involved in criminal activity and other highly unpleasant behaviour that we certainly don't need more of here. No, it's not always their fault either - we can't blame, for example, young boys who've been turned into killers by extremists of one sort of another but what resources are going to be available to these damaged individuals when they get here? Have the resources allocated to mental health treatment and associated services in the UK ever been under greater pressure? I'd submit the epidemic of suicides amongst young men is testament to the scale of the problem and the lack of help available to our own citizens let alone anyone else. It's all very well giving refuge to needy or traumatised people but unless huge extra resources are made available to treat them over quite possibly many years, we're just storing up more trouble. As it is, once again it's our existing needy who bear the brunt of the pressure on scare resources not the professional do-gooders and maybe that explains the growing resentment we're seeing across Europe.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
The situation is worse than it first appears, although net migration into the UK is around 350,000 what were actually seeing is the departure of healthy, law abiding UK citizens to be replaced by over 650,000 potentially less healthy and law abiding immigrants annually.

No wonder our social services and NHS are buckling.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
Add in that a recent report said what many of us have known for a while that immigrant communities segregate themselves from the wider british society and that will create more problems in the future. Most immigration systems that are in place in western countries were just not designed to handle the level we are currently experiencing and a brake needs to be applied till we can get a system in place. Any crime by an immigrant should mean automatic deportation with the host country deciding if it's before or after a custodial sentence as they are clearly not the type of person any decent country wants.

Of course they won't, our soft councils give them free housing and the benefits sytem gives them mega handouts that the likes of you and I can only dream about.

They are supposed to stop at the first country they come that can house them, last time I checked to get here means coming through/past Greece, Italy, Germany, France, Belgium etc....

Swedish authorities today revealed that the teenagers had been charged with aggravated rape of a minor after allegedly dragging the lad, who is under 15, into a wooded area near the city of Uppsala, north of Stockholm.

The alleged attack is said to have taken place in October, with prosecutor Johan Stromback confirming the suspects were all between 16 and 17 years old.

Stromback said all had arrived in Sweden as unaccompanied minors seeking asylum.

You mean all the 'children' people like Lily Allen were so keen to bring here from Calais? The sort of 'children' Yvette Cooper, Bob Geldof and countless other pious, bandwagon jumping, hypocrites publicly offered to house but never did, preferring to leave the entire burden of what they said they'd do to everyone else? People like them always seem to have a lot to say about helping these people but little or nothing to say about horrific events such as these. Countless crimes, rapes and murders which come as a direct and entirely predictable result of a chaotic, unfit for purpose immigration 'system' which all too often rewards people who have no respect for the rules and our laws and is resulting in long term damage to our society.

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has called for an end to free education for the children of illegal immigrants.
In a speech in Paris, the National Front's candidate in the 2017 presidential race next spring said she had nothing against foreigners.
"But I tell them: if you come to our country don't expect to be taken care of, to be looked after, that your children will be educated without charge," she said.
"No more playtime," she added.
Ms Le Pen is widely expected to be one of two candidates to reach the second and final round of the election in May.

It'll take a good deal to put these people off - so many have got through stayed here years totally illegally and even then been allowed to stay for one reason or another. Truth is these guys know that if they can get here, the chances are they won't be caught or sent back anywhere and they'll be a whole lot better off than they would have been back home. I don't think we can do much about the draw factor, the best we can do is catch more of them and be much tougher about who we allow to stay. Until we do that the numbers will continue to grow as will the attendant social problems.

Given the squalor the thousands of 'refugees' in Calais decided they'd rather endure for years than registering in France, I'd say it'd be hard to come up with a detention regime which would be harsher or more of a deterrent. As long as these people believe they will be better off here and able to use the system (or lack of it) to their advantage (something they clearly feel they can't do in places like France) they'll keep coming here. The best we can do to keep the numbers under control is make sure more are apprehended, detained and deported so the message that the UK isn't an easy touch slowly gets across. It's a nonsense that large numbers of illegals are arrested then allowed to just wander off and disappear into the black economy.

According to an article in the Sunday Times (paywall) some of the 'child refugees' brought to the UK from Calais have already disappeared.

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uk...nish-q6xxrt706

There are totally unwarranted fears that they've been drawn into illegality, child slavery, prostitution etc. but I reckon they've just had enough of HMG's 'hospitality' and are making their way to Lily Allen's gaff for a party with Bob and his celebrity chums.

Who'd have thought eh? Quelle surprise!

Seriously, it shows how out of touch they are that the great and the good who're always so keen for the UK to take in these people don't seem to appreciate the terrible reality that awaits them here with the obvious lack of govt. support and of course all those 'sincere' offers of housing which were so quickly forgotten by those who so piously issued them.

The UK clearly already has a massive problem in safeguarding the welfare of its own needy and vulnerable children (and indeed adults, including the mentally ill) so what on Earth made anyone think that somehow HMG would step up a gear for these migrants? What made them think that new resources would come out of thin air and the family ties we heard so much about would prove as robust as it was claimed by those who cited them? Maybe the problem is that nobody amongst the powerful elite and celebrity luvvies actually thought it through, much less let themselves get directly involved in the aftermath of what they helped create. Does anyone think these people are losing any sleep over this?

"Child refugees" disappearing has been going on for ages.

There was a documentary where an immigration officer was telling telling somebody that their documents were bogus and they wouldn't be let in, but on the other hand if they said they were under 16 they would be let in. Guess what happened next? Yep, they lied, they were let in, placed in care, and then skipped. This was not undercover or covert filming, but totally out in the open.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
 
Yes it has and has been raised before in this (and other) threads. The problem is that we have a group of influential people for whom that doesn't matter either because they're thick or because they have another agenda, well meaning or otherwise. These people use the same false and flawed arguments every time situations such as this arise. First they try to shout down as racist anyone who opposes their views. Then they make ridiculous claims like 'they won't be here long and most of them will go back home to rebuild', then they tell us 'they're vulnerable children who need our help'. When they've been here a while and it's time to go home and rebuild they tell us it's not fair send anyone back because they've put down roots here. When the entirely foreseeable happens and they start getting into to trouble in significant numbers they then tell us it's our fault and we need to do more, provide more etc. They use the same arguments repeatedly no matter what the outcome because the truth is they're not as concerned about the effects on the ordinary people of the UK as they are in pursuing their goal which if left unchallenged will sooner or later ruin this country for those of us who aren't shielded from the fallout by our wealth and rich mates.

We need to remind these people there is a price to be paid and maybe someone from HMG ought to start tell those who so proudly promised to offer refuge that they need to start delivering on their promises because to do otherwise would be the most appalling hypocrisy. Maybe the BBC could do a documentary about all the rich luvvies who promised to do their bit but didn't. The trouble is too many of them have jumped on the bandwagon themselves and it'd all be too embarrassing...

Greece has appealed to the EU to support its plans to reduce the population of overcrowded migrant camps on the Aegean islands.
The plea follows an EU announcement on Thursday that member states should be allowed to send some asylum seekers back to Greece from March 2017.
Under EU rules, the first country of entry usually handles an asylum seeker's claim.
But that system collapsed in 2015 when Greece was overwhelmed by new arrivals.
Most of the more than one million people who entered Europe last year did so through Greece, travelling from Turkey.

Four people were found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of immigration law offences. A fifth pleaded guilty and four others were convicted earlier.
The trials resulted directly from a BBC Panorama investigation.
To qualify for a visa in the UK, overseas students must demonstrate a certain level of the English language.

However, in 2014 Panorama revealed that the TOEIC exams at two test centres were being taken on behalf of foreign visa applicants in exchange for cash.
The programme secretly filmed fake "sitters" at Eden College International (ECI) in east London and at the Universal Training Centre in Watford.
Undercover footage in which entire rooms of registered candidates stepped aside so that exams could be taken by people who spoke better English was shown at the trials.
The plotters were equally brazen when it came to a multiple-choice paper - the secret filming showed an invigilator simply reading out the answers for candidates to copy.
The oral and written test answers were recorded on computers. However, ETS, the US company that set and marked the exam, failed to detect that the same voices appeared numerous times under different names.

I think many of these people have convinced themselves that the UK alone will offer them what they want and until they get here and find out for themselves, they won't accept anything else and will carry on trying. The UK is a place where it's easy to work under the radar and even if you get caught, the chances are you'll be released and allowed to disappear again. Until we change that, the problem will continue and grow.

BERLIN - Cologne’s chief of police dismissed claims of racial profiling Sunday after officers detained hundreds of North African men in an effort to prevent a repeat of sexual assaults during New Year’s festivities in the German city a year ago.

The men had gathered late Saturday at Cologne’s main train station and in the Deutz district, across the Rhine river. In an overnight tweet, police had described them as being “seemingly of African descent,” prompting online criticism that people were being detained based on their appearance alone.

“I reject this negative criticism,” Police Chief Juergen Mathies told reporters. “The clear aim was to prevent similar events to previous year.”

Hundreds of people were robbed and sexually assaulted during New Year’s celebrations in Cologne last year. The crimes were blamed largely on men of North African origin who had taken advantage of chaotic and crowded scenes around the city’s cathedral.

Mathies said he had instructed officers to intervene sooner this year. Of the 650 people detained for identity checks, almost all were from North African countries, he said.

If racial profiling prevents rapes then what is the problem? This "type" have proven last year to be trouble and were obviously waiting for the same opportunity this time.
