Stories emerging that Israel and US could be behind the " sudden invasion". Spain or PM Carlos Sanchez have been critical of both recently. The invasion was sudden and organized. 60,000 people don't suddenly decide to invade another country.

It's not the first time the Moroccan authorities have encouraged migrants to simply walk across the border in response to a diplomatic row

The Morroccan government is perfectly capable of engineering things like this without outside help

Walk or swim

I'd be amazed if US and Israel were'nt involved. Their pretty much deciding what goes on in the world these days.

Morocco don't need any help not enforcing their own border

There's a whole host of agency and motivations beyond the US and Israel

And I’d say we’re getting to the point where the ‘hysteria’ of some people is beginning to cause similar levels of problems that our broken asylum system is.

Our immigration system has become a mess & folk are entitled to be angry about it. It has become unsafe, unfair & people’s fears have been downplayed & dismissed over the years.

However this has been jumped on & many on the far right have become hysterical. A lot of racist scumbags seem to be emboldened again

White power Nazis marching through Liverpool attacking immigrant shops the other week.

Unionists in Belfast burning effigies of Mosques.

Folk in Glasgow last week believing false rumours online & rioting outside a venue that wasn’t housing asylum seekers. Then racists attacking delivery drivers & in and screaming go home to random black people in the streets.

It’s rife. And blaming the ‘establishment’ does nothing but deflect from the issue & downplay it.

Folk have been whipped into a frenzy & the ethno nationalist movement is becoming a real threat. Ironically they pride themselves as honouring our war dead - but they preach the extremism our forefathers fought against.

You used to have to go out of your way to find hate and extremist shite like that, now it gets pumped into every thick cunts social media algorithms 24 hours a day.

Aye

You can sadly see the odd poster on here has fallen victim to it.

Not too long ago I was called a “Muslim shagger” for raising a similar issue

Some comments referring to the "enclave".

It isn't.

More an exclave, though some further debate splits these into semi enclave and semi exclave.

Kaliningrad isn't an enclave neither, but an exclave.

You didn’t. And if you want to go back before Farage and social Media were even a thing it was probably a lot worse

Morocco is the least favourite place I've ever visited. And I tend to like most places I go to. Or at least try to make the best of them. Shite food, expensive to get a drink, treated contemptuously.

Never again.

🤣 Visit Tetouan if you want your opinion to be changed.

Your regard will plummet even further.

Spain should give Ceuta and Mellita back to Morocco and we can then give Gibraltar & the Malvinas back to their rightful owners, Spain & Argentina.

My job this sort of thing pal.

I do think he's right about the climate change bit though. If we don't collectively sort our shit one way or another - scenes like this are going to be commonplace.

I very much doubt that's what this was mind.

It's not just climate change though is it? Burgeoning populations with dwindling food and water resources. Zico, Perth White and (very) odd others have been wise.

Sanchez has caused this by allowing an amnesty for all illegals who are in Spain to stay in Spain.

Absolutely spot on. He was told what would likely happen when he did it. Yet another fluffy marshmallow misguided socialist.

It’s not Farage fault for not being in a position to stop this happening, he rightly flagged it up before anyone else, freedom of movement has played a massive part in this, for that the blame lies with Merckl and the EU. strange you see it that Farage is the problem here in fact not sure why you e brought him into this.

Correct. I’m against illegal immigration and think Farage is a racist hypocritical wanker. I’m pleased that boat crossings are down c40% and I’d be even happier if there were none.

But equally, I’m not a fan of seeing dead people wash up on the beach, so if there are people on boats, they should be helped ashore. Then processed in line with the law (which in my view should be tightened).

Also, the fact I think Farage is a racist hypocritical wanker doesn’t mean I’m a yoghurt-knitting, Muslim-loving, Jew-hating commie.

If you don't want to see dead people washed up on the beach then stop the fucking boats (or at least vote for someone who will).

How Spain's migrant crisis created a political storm - whipped up by social media

How Spain's migrant crisis created a political storm - whipped up by social media - BBC News

...what sparked the sudden influx: whether social media posts promising an easy path to Europe just went viral or this was something more deliberate, even organised.

Ceuta is not in the Schengen zone so Moroccan migrants were never going to head for mainland Europe, unchecked.

Spain's controversial move to allow hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants apply for residence and work permits and "regularise" their status.

The government's pragmatic: Spain is ageing and needs workers.

But those who flocked to the beaches of Ceuta this week were not heading to sign up for a campaign that's already closed.

The prime minister argues that was misrepresented by smugglers to promise an easy path to Europe. The message was actually spread online.

Migrants have shown social media posts to reporters with people shouting that "Spain is Open"

All their promises were false.

The crowds who made it to kiss the shore in Ceuta with joy were met with nothing. Without food or shelter, and with no way on to continental Europe, most quickly turned back.

So have migrants been "weaponised" as happened a few years back in Belarus, for example?

If so, who did it?

For now we only see those enjoying the results.

The global right wing are "hyperventilating with happiness"

Compassion personified. Expect no less. 🥱.

In reality of course illegal small boat crossings are 42% down this year compared to last, as of end July. Never let facts get in the way of prejudice.

Granted it’s still too many mind you.

It’s higher than the first half of 2024 though. As you say too many.
