Keir Starmer has suggested the US is trying to interfere in British democracy after JD Vance, the US vice-president, blamed the murder of the British teenager Henry Nowak on mass migration.

The prime minister’s office responded after the senior Republican politician claimed in a post on X that Nowak would be alive “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Downing Street did not name Vance directly but said its response to his comments was that “in recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.

    Mass migration isn’t the problem, the problem is lack of oversight into what kind of people are coming into civilised countries, anyone that can so simply stab someone, lie to let them die shouldn’t have ever been allowed to come into the UK or any other country that has proper human rights against murder and rape, but these people aren’t educated and are incapable of integrating, so they shouldn’t be allowed entry.

    Proper oversight is needed so people that are actually interested in a better life can be given that chance and those that seek chaos should stay home.

      civilised countries

      Take off your pith helmet, Rudyard, it’s not the 19th century any more. I’m surprised you didn’t refer to them as benighted savages. Probably your vocabulary doesn’t include the phrase.

      these people

      Another expression that indicates you have nothing worthwhile to say.

      aren’t educated and are incapable of integrating

      If you’re referring to Sikhs, you’re wrong on both counts. Sikhs have high literacy, high educational and economic attainment, and Sikh communities outside Punjab are well-known for engaging constructively in civil society. Don’t let anecdata based on one fucked-up young man and his fucked-up family mislead you about the bigger picture.

      A) nice to see that you are concerned enough about Nowak’s death to respect his family’s wishes that it not be used to stoke division

      B) Digwa is British

        I’m currently working and living over 8 years in another country in a place that is about 1300 kilometres away from home so i’m kinda familiar with the whole process of moving to another country and making a life there but sure racism is what you got from my comment. And you are an ignorant twat.

      So you agree that we should be processing the asylum requests and then coming to a decision as soon as possible rather than simply leaving everybody in a state of limbo in some random hotel?

      As always, your racist take shows that you don’t actually know anything about the subject matter.

          You literally said that the problem is a lack of oversight on the “kind of people” what kinds of people are you talking about? Are you talking about the habitual criminals that are easily detectable because of some physical trait? Maybe they have a particular style of facial hair, or a convenient “I am a gang member” tattoo, or perhaps it’s just the colour of their skin who knows.
          You’re a racist, you might not think of yourself as a racist, but the way you choose to express yourself outs you as one.

          More importantly though is the fact that you don’t appear to have picked up on the key point, which is that these asylum claims are not being processed. You are angry about something that is in fact not happening, these people aren’t been processed and let into the country despite being criminals, these people are not being processed yet are in the country anyway. If you want to solve the problem you actually have to solve the problem but the Conservatives decided to defund immigration precisely so they would be able to continue to have a group that they could hit with a big stick just to have something to keep the Gammons angry.

        Also “hon” i’m not British and Epstein’s files still haven’t been fully released and there’s a good chance there is a cunt from your country in those files.

        What has Prince Andrew to do with mass immigration? Never read such nonsense, but what else can I expect from leftist 🤷‍♂️AFAIK they never work, always the others have to pay, never take responsibility for their actions, it is always the others’ fault … they are lost cases.

        Now you can downvote me into oblivion, because this is the only thing you can do 😂😂😂

          It was a suggestion that ethnic English people, even in the highest reaches of the establishment, are also capable of the most degraded forms of criminality. So why the focus on immigrants?

          Do try to keep up.

          You should probably sue your mother for poor quality workmanship when producing you, because I can’t imagine being so dull witted that you were unable to work that one out.

          Given the fact that Andrew is demonstrably British, I would suggest that the nationality of someone doesn’t have much to do with their ability to be a criminal.

          Also unless you are proposing to present us with a minority report style prediction system, I’m not exactly sure how anyone would have known that this particular individual was necessarily more a threat, than any other person from that nationality.

            This is how your comment is read: Bla bla bla. My point on my previous comment? Never touched. I guess you did not pass school, which would not surprise me.
