    I've just registered, after many years of reading this forum, due to your posts PurpleGorilla.

    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.
    Thanks for your post, and re registering, and thank you for actually having a debate with me rather than simply hurling insults.

    Nothing huge has changed in my personal life, just older and more jaded I guess.

    I've never voted Tory. Not got a clue who to vote for now, but it is a safe Tory seat for me so no real point!

    I guess I feel like Jonathan Pie, extremely angry and depressed at the fake ness of 'freedom of opinion' extolled by the virtuous left - but only as long as it is a point I agree on.

    I see a lot of big problems foreign and domestic which are skipped over, or repressed. I see this with the migrant crisis and the failure of integration between western and eastern cultures.

    Doing more of the same expecting different results seems to be idiocy, which is why people voted for trump and brexit.

    I'm a big fan of Prof Mark Blyth and his dissection of left & right populism.

    Anyhow, I will stop posting stories about migrants and Muslims. Clearly it is causing offence.

Last year I was in Tesco in Dalston Junction queuing for the self checkout when a young lad came running in and stood there, took me a few seconds to see it but he was standing in pool of blood at first I thought he had dropped a bottle of red wine but the kid had been stabbed Dalston stabbing: Bloodied victim staggers into Tesco for help after broad daylight knife attack | London Evening Standard

        The ignorance is jarring not the naming.

        'Freedom of opinion' - It is the Tories that are clamping down on privacy laws. They are the ones wanting to monitor your online activity until the end of days. They are the ones wanting to control what you think. And are doing an excellent job of it throughout their various media outlets.

        The left are not even in power to exercise any control. The whole rant just seems daft.

          Who is stopping your 'freedom of opinion'? Haven't you just made this up so you can feel like a victim? You can post your hate filled opinions as much as you like. Generally it is the Mail and the like with their political correctness trying to shout down anyone who call out filth like like you.

            You think the kids should have been killed as well? That happens. Fact is that some people love "honour" (for which read "themselves") more than they love their children. Conversion from Islam is, strictly, punishable by death. I know a young man who has sought asylum here in Switzerland. He converted in Pakistan, and then was beaten, stabbed and left for dead. You can see the scars on his stomach. The judge ruled that Pakistan is a safe country, and he can simply disappear into the Christian community there. Unfortunately, a) he can't do that, as his Pakistani ID card is marked "Muslim", and cannot be changed and b) it's manifestly not safe for Christians, especially converts from Islam. He is being returned to Pakistan in one month. If he's murdered, we'll send reports of his death to the judge.

                    Just to be clear - I was commenting on your ambiguous phrasing, not on your desire for kiddies to be murdered.
