You are not making the point you think you are.
All of those were armed invasions.
The point is that we have always been a product of immigration armed or not armed from at least 2000 years ago.

Nice of you edit and quote something i never even said....Oh yes, well done. Consider the perfectly reasonable arguments made in this thread totally owned. You have truly demonstrated that your point of view is the reasonable one.
I find it very interesting to have your insight on this subbectt @Efour, being a resident there gives us a much better view of what's actually going on than on other issues in foreign lands.

No really, I mean it, very well played. The thread was going just fine until you posted a totally wild "you're all Nazis" accusation. Moustache man bad, and we are the same, obviously. Thread successfully torpedoed, and your POV is clearly the winning one. I look forward to many more totally productive interactions with your obviously good faith approach.Nice of you edit and quote something i never even said....
Yes, we know. Our point is that this is a very silly point. Care to respond to our carefully considered posts challenging it, rather than just repeating it?The point is that we have always been a product of immigration armed or not armed from at least 2000 years ago.

The Anglo-Saxons and Jutes were cordially invited by Vortigern, to protect the resident British population of the Roman Imperial province, from raids by the Gauls, Celts, Picts and so on.You are not making the point you think you are.

Romantic talk about immigration isn't what this is about.
30 years of "people" turning up
Unfortunately thats juat the way it goes when ever the issue of legal immigration and its pitfalls are raised. Folks will either purposely conflate illegal and legal immigration or start chuntering on about Romans/Anglo saxons etc 1500 odd years ago or the usa all the while ignoring that successful integration of immigrants requires a core value of shared beliefs which isnt happening in recent times.You guys are talking the most general nonsense about centuries of people migration for whatever reason Vs 30 years of "people" turning up and become the defacto criminals in a country.
Your discussion would be better if you said it from the point of some Celtic tribes suddenly getting a bit miffed with an influx of Roman wine traders suddenly cornering the market and anyone that messed with them got the sharp end of a gladius.

Just looked that up.... I'm not sure that went as peacefully as you're implying... One story. ...The Anglo-Saxons and Jutes were cordially invited by Vortigern, to protect the resident British population of the Roman Imperial province, from raids by the Gauls, Celts, Picts and so on.
There was no invasion, as such. Just a mostly peaceful migration and settling, with a few skirmishes in defence of the existing locals.
Largely peaceful by contemporary measures. There was a lot of cultural integration and the continuation of existing Roman societal structuring, which does not happen with an invasion as the invaders seek to displace existing lifestyles with their own.Just looked that up....

No it's about finding a problem and fixing the problem. Approaching it from all available avenues.Is it about dehumanising those less fortunate?

But it's not one problem is it?No it's about finding a problem and fixing the problem. Approaching it from all available avenues.
There's nothing less fortunate about being an Albanien drug baron. They probably have a life 50x better than they could ever have eked out in their homeland, at the expense of their new business homeland.
Problem(s) okBut it's not one problem is it?
We have a growing unproductive elderly populace, less newborns and less passionate/more risk averse workers as well as lolworthy levels of investment into automation compared to similar countries... something has to give.
Usage of hand grenades reached a significant peak in 2016. According to police in Gothenburg and Malmö in 2016, the use of hand grenades by criminals in Sweden is a phenomenon which is unusual for all comparable countries both inside and outside the EU.[7] According to criminologists Manne Gerell and Amir Rostami, the only other country that keeps track of hand grenade explosions is Mexico. While Mexico has a murder rate 20 times that of Sweden, on the specific category of grenade explosions per capita the two countries were comparable at the time.[5][8] According to police authorities, many of the hand grenades used are weapons which originate from the Yugoslav Wars,[9] and the hand grenades found by the police are exclusively the ex-Yugoslavian M75 hand grenade.[10]
