Why Are We Importing the Democrats’ ‘Sanctuary Cities’?
Did you know that it was ‘Refugee Week’ last week?
Councils across the UK celebrated the event, including Cambridge City, Dorset, Warwickshire County, Southampton and Richmond.

Where is the outrage in foreign billionaires interfering in U.K. politics with Khan and Bloomberg compared with some comments from Musk?
Depends if the billionaires are global fascists or not.
He is
Meanwhile the petition to stop paying illegal immigrants received a reply from the government. It started off by saying that they inherited the problem when it was actually Labour who started the problem years ago. I gave up reading the BS after a few lines in fear of throwing up.
Here’s a link if you have the stomach to read it.

Thanks for the link, I didn’t make it through either what utter sanctimonious garbage.
Well it’s clear that this government will pretend to tackle the problem and just continue the destruction of our society..
Bloomberg is a pretty nasty globalist of the worst kind. He pretends to be social leaning when all he does is promote policies that wreck working class communities. He fits right in with rich people who for the past 100 years or more have promoted communism with the sole intention of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
I just wonder how much more of this crap people will take before rising up!
I am old. I do not know one person ready to rise up. Also, the few younger members of our society I do know, certainly do not appear ready to rise up. When illegals were dumped into a hotel down the street, I demanded answers from the local government councils and I expressed my concerns loudly. It was not the young people nor anyone else my age who rose up.
“How did asylum seekers become ‘sanctuary seekers’, anyway?”
More importantly, how did economic migrants become asylum seekers?
Sanctuary cities in the USA, like Chicago, Philadelphia etc, were given money to “take in” the immigrants Joe Biden let in. There was no plan for accommodation, the cities just took the money and called themselves a “sanctuary city”. This left all the immigrants flown or bussed in, sleeping at O’Hare airport in chgo as well as police stations and neighbourhood parks. This was what sanctuary cities became.
Most of these “asylum seekers” are economic migrants. The main group of persecuted peoples, and hence true refugees, are Christians fleeing oppressive Communist or Islamic regimes.
Why?
Because as someone here (sorry can’t remember who) pointed out, the socialist revolution hoped for never happened, and gradually the working working class became more affluent and realised which side their bread was buttered on, so socialists needed new victim groups and causes in order to stand a chance of gaining power. Divide and conquer, and what Steve Sailer calls “The Coalition of the Fringes”.
Yes, a good point. The term ‘working class’ is very outmoded these days and in the 2019 election when many long term Labour seats up north went Tory it was observed how the electorate had changed with the end of mass industrial employment where son followed father and mothers and daughters likely worked there too.
Indeed. I’m in the home counties. Most of the middle class people I know are Labour/Lib Dem/Green voting champagne socialists. Most of the (mainly white) working class people I know are culturally conservative and a lot of them, especially the self employed ones, are in favour of low taxes, limited government, cutting welfare and public spending, anti-immigration. It has changed a lot since I was a boy.
Spot on. The middle classes just don’t get it. They swan around virtual signalling, creating conditions for low pay, they benefit from low costs and a higher standard of living compared to low paid working classes, they live in a virtuous bubble, have contempt for their “inferiors”, they live in a fantasy world. I know a lot of them, they haven’t got a clue.
Like the very rich but to a lesser extent, they are more insulated from the worst effects of the kind of world they seem to want to promote, but they are not immune to the effects and the amount of cognitive dissonance this creates must surely become unbearable sooner or later. I’ve told this story before but it bears repeating – my friend’s husband had his (expensive) bike nicked by teenagers on Hackney Downs, on his commute to work. He cycled right past them, even though his instinct told him not to, because he didn’t want to feel racist by avoiding them (they were black). I wonder what he does now… He might avoid in a similar situation next time, but I bet he would not admit it. As a former inner London cycle commuter, I would be avoiding ANY group of young men unless they were either all wearing skull caps OR dressed like Little Lord Fauntleroy OR a bunch of nerdy boys – black, brown or white. Either that or you cycle at high speed and look mad enough for them to know you are best avoided in favour of easier pickings.
Sad story, most white people have left London, I wonder why?
Yes we’re white and left London, though to be fair uppermost in my mind was getting away from white liberals rather than from non whites – but then we lived in a middle class area so a little bit insulated from the worst of antisocial behaviour and crime which seems to be committed mainly by poorer people of all colours.
Here you go tof, Dr James Lindsay explains all that we need to know about Cultural Marxism or, Woke, as it’s being used to promote ‘Equity’ in Europe:

Yes, thanks for this
This is straight from the UN Agendas for interconnected global SMART cities (with no private cars and social credit scores). There is a Global Parliament of Mayors, who hold enormous power. It’s like an enormous conjuring trick with everyone tricked into looking in the wrong direction and so they miss what is really going on. What is going on is a technological coup that will make digital slaves of us all.
Every week is refugee week. Like every month is Pride Month… nobody cares.
If I didn’t really need what they have, I wonder if you could reject DPD as a delivery company as their tracking map sticks a pervert flag on your house where their rainbow unicorn will deliver.
Every week – refugee week or pervert week or whatever – brings a reckoning closer where the indigenous population finally snap at the sheer waste of their taxes.
Sanctuary Cities Dump on the West
Isn’t Sir Diq Khan being Islamophobic saying people from Islamic countries need sanctuary?
It seems local politics is even more broken than Westminster politics in this country. I live in one of the ‘sanctuary cities’ mentioned (I recently received an email from them proudly explaining their policy – I unsubscribed). They are also profoundly anti-motorist and think nothing of throwing money at expensive bus gates and cycle ways that cause massive congestion as cars are re-routed down formerly tranquil residential streets. Most of these schemes get reviewed or even abolished some time later – exacerbating the waste. I imagine that most of the city’s residents oppose these schemes…but time and time again the same idiots are reelected, and to cap it all the former council leader, who brought the city to the verge of bankruptcy, is now my MP!
“The rabbit holes go even deeper than this, but the gist is: ‘Sanctuary Cities’ are an import from the US (the Democrats specifically), and should be a wake-up call about a wider agenda heading our way.”
So, what is the ‘wider agenda’ coming our way? It’s all of the many different species of the genus Marxism in action. And, we’re already deep into it. For a cogent, 30mins ‘explainer’ from Dr James Lindsay do see this:

What the heck is Michael Bloomberg doing in London. Shouldn’t he be tucked up in a care home? I guess he wants to leave a “legacy”. Good luck with that.
What is increasingly coming to light, is that there are many organisations such as C40 cities, that believe in a mixed up world where we’ll all become mixed race. This is, I believe, is why there are so many third world people being encouraged to come, and there’s little effort to remove them. Hence, the incomers are treated like visiting dignitaries and are given priority oven the indigenous. They are wanted here by all those who believe in ‘a big melting pot.’ To quote Blue Mink from the 1960’s!
Close your borders. Deport illegals.
