junctiontwo Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) These have caused quite a stir amongst certain groups: What's your view? Dozens of illegal immigrants have either voluntarily asked for help to return home, or have been arrested as a direct result of the adverts in London.

al4x Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I can't see how much influence they would actually have. Throwing a bounty on every illegal of £500 would get faster results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batters Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't reckon that they are racist, these ads are just the same as warning any other criminal that they will be caught eventually. Everyone is too sensitive to the feelings if criminals, no matter what their creed or colour. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Have you noticed the birth figures for britain ? I am not a racist but even I am becoming concerned. I hope this is not the only way to ensure those who should not be here go back. A far better method for everyone would be a strong and effective control on who is able to get into britain.

Gimlet Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) No way is it racist. It doesn't offend or denigrate or victimise anyone, is merely states the law and pledges to enforce it. What would be deeply offensive to real Britons is a failure to keep that pledge. And parliament could put its money where its mouth is by making a start on the legal tidal wave as well. Which means not just stemming the flow but reversing it. Edited August 10, 2013 by Gimlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 How can it be racist, an illegal immigrant is not a race. It's just an excuse for the lily livered Guardian readers to bleet about something. Maybe we should all embrace those illegally in our country....... I say well done to Government but I feel it may just be tough words and no action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unapalomablanca Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am afraid we are forty years too late to deal with what our leaders have inflicted on us. As if people who are here illegally or legally, are ever going to want to go back to the hell holes they came from, places where life is cheap and a tin shack is a luxury.

I guess we will have to wait until the burden of looking after so many people in this country and subsidising corrupt foreign countries has dragged us to the point where that applies here. Shouldn't be long at the present rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Its not racist, which 'race' is an illegal immigrant!! This country desperatley needs to rid itself of parasites, regardless of race. Tight entry and exit controls and a revolution of the welfare state is the only thing that will do it. We have already gone beyond the tipping point of what is being paid in vs what is being spent. If we don't act asap it will go beyond the point of no return.

Will Poon Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 This poster can be read in 2 ways in my opinion , The first is of course what it says in the poster itself to deter illegal immigrants in this country , but the other also says if your skin aint white your not welcome in this country .

Greymaster Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 As stated, being an illegal has nothing to do with race, so the ad cannot be racist. But the ad has been associated with the recent Border Force crackdown, stop and challenge at Londonistan railway and tube stations. It has been argued that "racial profiling" is being used to select which suspects are collared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How? Where does it say anything about not being white? It doesn't, it says if you are here illegally, go home. That could be people of any colour or nationality.
