Something has happened to you over the years. Could be in your personal life, could be from the media you are choosing to veer your eyes toward every day. If you look back to a couple of years ago your posts seem left wing to centrist and overall rather friendly. They have lurched to the right in recent times.
A hugely vast majority of crimes in any given genre are committed by British nationals within Britain. If you read the DailyMail, and consider that a reputable source of newsworthiness, then yes - all could trend towards thinking as you do.
You should instead rely upon ethnography research and informed opinion. UK newspapers are mostly owned by oligarchs who are keen to protect their monied interests - this being the reason why they do not wish higher taxes. From your posts I suspect you vote Tory. Riddle me this: the deficit is now increasing (per diem) at the highest rate ever known in this country, yet embarking upon austerity and engineering the poor to be worse off actually has the reaction of making them lurch to the Tories, perpetuating their own demise.
Immigrants and asylum seekers aren't the problem in the UK and they never have been. The problem is populist policy pandering to the middle to upper classes, ensuring a perpetual cycle of destruction for the past 50 years post-war era. You can adequately judge a country by how it treats its poorer people within the population.
What country(ies) do you see the UK - actually, England - aiming towards? For me it is Scandinavia: We should really be aiming for a happy harmonious society - yes, still numerous issues, including with violence, but there always is, it just needs to be minimised - but an overall much better attitude in society to aim towards happiness.
The UK is too disparate in wealth and income inequality is causing the country to gradually implode. Consider these matters before swinging massively in the wrong direction PurpleGorilla. In fact, go read your own longer posts from years ago and compare them to now.
Your anger is misplaced.
