90% of which young men of military age

I don't understand how this has become acceptable. Do border security personnel no longer carry guns?

The French sell them dinghies and the sail across the English Channel, escorted to our waters by the French coastguard. We then 'rescue' them, or they land in a random location along the coastline.

Asylum seekers are supposed to seek refusing the first country they arrive in, so I guess this confirms France is an unsafe country. But these aren't really asylum seekers, they film themselves throwing their passports into the Channel because they know they will be given free stuff on their arrival, and free reign to rape and pillage the innocents who don't want them here.

I'm surprised that the citizens of England haven't armed themselves and began patrolling the border themselves in some form of localised militia, because our government isn't stopping them.

Millions of young men entering Europe are not refugees, this is an invasion force and we are being occupied.

Yeah, that's all basically as I imagined. It's extremely sad and unfortunate. We (the "developed" or "western" world) are squandering every advantage our ancestors fought to get us, under the erroneous theory that it's undeserved "privilege."

Agreed. The citizens deserve a say, but are being given no choice. Housing prices are no longer 4x a persons salary like in the 90's, it 10x a persons salary. Utterly unaffordable thanks to these deviants and criminals taking our land and earnings from us. Every privilege earned is a privilege deserved, fuck those who would take it from us.

That's depressing. My house was a little under 2x my annual salary. That world is "gone with the wind," I guess, and people have just resigned themselves to everything continually getting worse.

9/11/01 was a huge turning point. That's when this notion of ratcheting "new normals" became acceptable. To France's credit, I remember a certain reluctance to go along with some of it.

I can hardly imagine the ability to buy a house at just 2x an annual salary in the UK. Even on very comfortable income, my best bet now is to plan to buy abroad and continue renting here. Between me and my partner, we could probably build a decent size house on a nice patch of land in Eastern Europe for around 2x our salary. Or maybe an apartment by the beach in the Mediterranean. You are right, I guess resigning oneself to things only getting worse has become the norm because I really don't see us staying here forever...

Good on you for thinking creatively about ways to improve your life.
