    " The number of hotels housing asylum seakers has halved under Starmer for example."

    The number of Hotels might have, although I doubt it, but not in numbers of people housed in them, several people have said this but it's untrue... I'm not blaming Starmer though, but the numbers have gone up from c29k to c32k.

    But massively down on September 2023. It was only so low at election time because sunak threw everyone out onto the streets to artificially lower the figures and make himself look good

    That's true, but it doesn't help any debate to base an argument on false claims. ( not blaming the posters on here, but it has been widely said elsewhere)

    Nice whataboutery . I mean, you're not denying there was a cover up based on race are you?

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speec...oup-based-child-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse

    But on the key issues of ethnicity that I had asked her to examine, she has found continued failure to gather proper robust national data, despite concerns being raised going back very many years. In the local data that the audit examined from 3 police forces they identify clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men. And she refers to “examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist or raising community tensions”.

    So let’s say that’s true, it clearly states “going back many years”. Why weren’t we painting flags on roundabouts 5 years ago? Why is it only now that people have “had enough” and need to “protect our children” and “take our country back”?
    I’ve got my own opinion, but would be interested to know what yours is?

    Well, the thing with a cover up is that they are kept out of the public eye, so people aren't aware of them, otherwise it wouldn't be much of a cover up would it? My point was not about the protests being linked to grooming gangs, but to refute the earlier assertion that perhaps people of an ethnic background are systematically persecuted by the Police thus skewing crime figures, and the grooming gang cover ups is evidence to the exact contrary.

    Sorry, are you suggesting no one was aware of the highly publicised grooming gang scandal while the previous government was in power?

    As I've stated, the current flag epidemic is not related to grooming gangs, so what's your point?

    I was in Leicester the other month watching the Lionessess and there was a Jamaican family in the row in front of me slap bang in the middle behind the goal with a huge flag.
    They were clearly English raised (accent) and having a one family party dancing and singing throughout.
    Best part was how welcome they were made to feel by the English fans around them not one sign of rascism.

    And a lot of those who survived helped rebuild this Country after that war, conveniently forgotten by the rascists.
