Anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies intensify across Europe

LONDON (AP) — In the past year, tens of thousands hostile to immigrants marched through London, chanting “send them home!” A British lawmaker complained of seeing too many non-white faces on TV. And senior politicians advocated the deportation of longtime U.K. residents born abroad.

The overt demonization of immigrants and those with immigrant roots is intensifying in the U.K. — and across Europe — as migration shoots up the political agenda and right-wing parties gain popularity.

In several European countries, political parties that favor mass deportations and depict immigration as a threat to national identity come at or near the top of opinion polls: Reform U.K., the AfD, or Alternative for Germany and France’s National Rally.

President Donald Trump, who recently called Somali immigrants in the U.S. “garbage” and whose national security strategy depicts European countries as threatened by immigration, appears to be endorsing and emboldening Europe’s coarse, anti-immigrant sentiments.

Amid the rising tensions, Europe’s mainstream parties are taking a harder line on migration and at times using divisive language about race.

“What were once dismissed as being at the far extreme end of far-right politics has now become a central part of the political debate,” said Kieran Connell, a lecturer in British history at Queen’s University Belfast.

Not if they’re serious about fixing the problem. Look at England, they have had enough. That freak Starmer won’t last much longer. I hope the dummies do what needs to be done.

A revolution for something you don’t want, leads you to another thing you don’t want.

That was a French Revolution.

The American Revolution was different. There were clear goals, from educated leadership.

If I shake you awake in the middle of the night and ask you what you are fighting for, after you reach for your gun, what do you tell me?

Folks, I can’t repeat it enough. Know clearly what you are fighting for, not what you don’t want.

They are not immigrants; they are native population replacers. Invaders.

It’s amazing “leaders” and “experts” don’t have even a smidgen of knowledge of basic biology.

You have different genetic groups which group together in territories. That’s why you see Korean, White, Jewish, Black, Hispanic majority neighborhoods, it’s how nature works.

That’s their space and they don’t want to be invaded.

It’s been this way for two billion years and they aren’t going to turn nature on its head in a few decades by calling people far right.

Mainstream European politicians condemn the “great replacement” conspiracy theory. Britain’s center-left Labour Party government has denounced racism and says migration is an important part of Britain’s national story.

At the same time, it is taking a tougher line on immigration, announcing policies to make it harder for migrants to settle permanently. The government says it is inspired by Denmark, which has seen asylum applications plummet since it started giving refugees only short-term residence.

In other words, even "centrist" and liberal European politicians are starting to recognize that perhaps importing millions of Arabs and Africans might not have been such a great idea after all.

American Pravda’s Jill Lawless - a real POS who should be up on sedition charges.

A swift hanging, and a nice trial afterwards.
