Aldo Raine said: Most likely just because it was less visible and because the attacks on the two Jewish victims were thought to be a continuation of the recent attacks on the Jewish community, meaning they were part of a bigger story Fair point, but given the prominence of the story it seems strange that the third attack has so little coverage. But certainly the two happening in the street is a factor , having CCTV seems to make any story more newsworthy. I also read the guy was put away before for stabbing a police dog. Radicalisation of folk with clear mental health issues is a massive threat. Quote

Also leaving the ECHR will not stop boats coming whatsoever. We are still in a refugee convention from 1951. We can't leave them bobbing about at sea and France won't take them back. Quote
Traf Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Do we think that the recent rise in anti-semitic attacks is linked to the ever increasing cuntishness of the Israeli government/armed forces etc? Quote

By rights it should, but I suppose the reality is there's not as much mileage in "man stabs friend", and especially if there's a possibility the other two were targeted because of their ethnicity I think your last sentence is part of the reason why the small boats crisis has such salience Quote

Hence the giant spike. Quote

"Boris-wave" Post Brexit & Covid we attempted an Australian style points system for EU immigrants but intentionally opened up to non-EU immigrants!!!!! Quote

The convention is barely used by other EU nations neither. It's just another political fudge. Nothing to stop France returning every illegal migrant from wherever they came from, but they don't. They're right about us needing to reduce the incentives, but they should also look at their own approach. Quote

Ani Posted May 2 Posted May 2 23 minutes ago, royal white said: But the ones we accepted were ones that we would have accepted as asylum seekers anyway, so they different than ‘illegals in boats.’ So the system was people come looking for asylum and are allocated to the most appropriate (if any) EU country. Because of geography we had less getting here so less to send back. Look at the numbers he is quoting as a % of what we see now it is tiny. No one has really come up with a credible explanation of the spike post Brexit have they ? And no one has come up with a credible plan of how to return them anywhere. Quote

Immigration has fell across much of Europe, countries are becoming stricter which has forced many towards the U.K. I’ve said it on here before, we are surrounded by water and that should be our best defence it’s however the exact opposite.

For "story", you could just read bigger news item People being attacked in the street because of their race will always attract more attention than an isolated incident of a person stabbing their friend because it impacts on more people and speaks to larger questions about the health of the society we live in Quote

As I said understand that the attacks in the street are the main reason it hit the headlines so quickly. Ignoring the third stabbing is not telling or reporting the full story. Quote

No. It's to do with the cuntishness of those carrying out the attacks around the world. Primitives. Quote

Nah Such an argument just sets a dangerous precedent of deflecting from the issue of racial Islam. No different from TMGJ trying to deflect from the racist bigots attacking police & immigrants in Epsom. Blame lies with the perpetrators and those who radicalise them. What we do need to start doing with the current Israeli government is treating them the same as we do other extremist governments. Sanctions, withdrawal of military support & military intervention to force the recognition of Palestine if necessary. But we can’t be blaming them for attacks here Quote

I don't expect faith leaders of any flavour to comment on every attack but with just 6% of the UK being Muslim they do disproportionately represent the worst offences. Quote

Baroness Falkner of Margravine (herself a Muslim) has today said she was "utterly dismayed" by the "deafening silence" of the Muslim communities regarding one of their own committing such acts. Quote
