Well other than UK job security Let's remember that not all terrorists are necessarily terrorists when arriving in Britain or are in fact actually from somewhere else themselves. There parents might be the immigrants. With things as they are in the Middle East and some parts of Asia, I am left questioning the wisdom of allowing significant numbers of people in from those regions.

In truth though the UK has still maintained border security, as the points of ingress into the UK, and the requirement for passport control is much more enforceable. When you consider the number of borders countries like Belgium, France and Germany have its very difficult to effectively control those borders without requiring a virtual army of immigration and police at each station, road and airport. Even then there are miles upon miles of countryside at which crossing could occur.| nickgusset Shizzlehurst 04 Dec 16 5.19pm |

I'd argue that some turn to fundamentalist groups as a result of the way immigrants are viewed upon and treated, or perceived to be treated, by a lot of people.

Yes, because Britain is such a terrible place to live if you are an immigrant. You live in a fantasy. If there is any reason to resent Britain, it would be our history of imperialism and exploitation of other countries. So Britain should be the last place you want to live if you harbor such resentment. If you have just developed it recently, best you move elsewhere.

Thanks to the rise in hate crimes (as verified by the police) and bulls*** as fact (schools banning christmas because of upsetting immigrants being a case in point) that seems to do the rounds. it's utter s***e, but people still take it as fact as it suits their mindset. It feeds the rage, which is what certain newspapers set out to do.

Edited by nickgusset (04 Dec 2016 6.44pm) There is no excuse to take up terrorism or extremism in this country whatsoever. You are making excuses for such behaviour.

It's hard to know how others must feel when they face racist / xenophobic muppets who rip muslim womens' hijabs off or daub their homes with racist graffiti, but it's bound to have an effect. as is the constant near islamaphobic nonsense we get from the media.

I'm not saying it is a main cause, but the drift rightwards in the national vernacular will not endear this great nation to newcomers, and yes it will have a negative effect on some.

If this country is moving rightward it is because the people had mass immigration forced on them when most didn't want it. All highly predictable.I have seen little to convince me that their stance was wrong and neither have the majority it seems.
