The thing is, there is always sort of a truth in the middle - there are communities suffering from mass and badly controlled migration, but whenever they raise their concerns, or hold a demonstration, racists are quick to hijack it and take the reigns. I once ran a Minecraft server which had a guy who was moderately right wing run a faction. However another guy joined and behaved himself, but invited tonnes of people who definitely couldn’t, and suddenly we had a nazi bar problem at hand of racists flooding a Minecraft server.

How is migration the problem? Practically every issue in this country is because there aren’t enough people to do the jobs either because there isn’t enough people or because there isn’t enough people willing to do them.
The NHS is falling apart partly because they can’t get the staff, because they used to come from Europe, thanks to the bloody brilliant idea of brexit that’s now not possible.
Oh and of course the whole thing about not having enough lorry drivers. If you will intentionally gut the workforce.
Then you’ve got all the seasonal workers that are necessary for things like fruit picking, they are no longer turning up.
This country 's built on immigration it’s required in order for the country to function. But racist both in and out of government over the last couple of decades have decided to turn it into an issue. They’ve decided to tell people that the reason that they can’t afford a house is because of immigrants rather than admitting this because they haven’t built any for the last 25 years.

The crime they commit and the way they treat women. There have been people trying to enforce Sharia, in France there were teachers beheaded for criticising Mohammed, there were riots in Sweden over burning a book. Riots between Indians and Pakistanis. Behaviour like this just doesn’t belong in our society. Of course there are plenty of migrants who do behave and they are very much welcome, but we do have to be careful about who we’re letting in.

It’s because you are trying to fix a difficult problem with an easy solution that just pushes the can down the road.
Problem: We don’t train enough NHS staff
Solution: Train the same amount of NHS staff, reduce their (real) wages and hire immigrants.
The issue of shit pay and not enough education is still there.

Actually its been a problem since at least the 1970s. When my father worked for a hospital. and Paid to travel to nations to hire nurses.
This was a tume when all UK higher education was free.
The issue is more about how much we pay nurses compared to other nations. Vs how shitty the job is.
And you will notice we solve it the same way most other nations do. Recruit from nations that pay even less. Just like the US and AUS recruites from the UK we recruit from eastern wleurope africa etc etc etc.
If you want to fix it without immigration. You need to pay UK nurses etc competitivly with the US.

The suffering is real but the link to migration is entirely made up.
Not enough GPs for the population? They’ve retired.
Too much traffic? More and more people own cars and the entire country outside cities is designed to require them.
No home? Councils were banned from building them in the 80s of course we don’t have enough housing.
giving an inch on the core anti migration argument is a mistake because it makes the action to actually fix these problems harder.
No action on migration can ever be enough because the racists want to kick every black person born here out, and the “legitimate concerns” crowd won’t see any improvement in their lives and will keep demanding bigger and bigger action alongside them.anothermember@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago

Communities are suffering from 14 years of misgovernment, that’s what people should be angry at, blaming migration hands the tories a massive free pass.

The simple fact is that Muslims have made themselves very dislikable, and a majority is either disinterested in their wellbeing and waiting to see the far right make their move, or actively wanting to cause harm and joining the far right and preparing to make their move. There are comparably few left who are actively protective of Muslims.

Everything you’ve said is complete nonsense, you should get out more.

seems to have worked pretty well for germany? considering that they are literally the origin of nazis and are now having about as many problems as the rest of europe.

That a group of people should be killed because of their religion is not a political opinion.
