@kezia_noble Foreign aid should be given only in exchange for resettling non-integrating immigrants that for some reason cannot be deported to their country of origin
@mehdirhasan He either supports FGM, non-stun slaughter, violent opposition of UK foreign policy in the middle east and sharia law, or, at best, he's neutral about those values, but not against immigration of those who support them
Therefore he shouldn't be in any official position
@Abdullah_Masud9@AfgZoroastrian Japan and USA were not culturally similar
Japanese didn't become terrorists because they had no pro-terror propaganda post ww2
Muslims have an extensive pro-terror propaganda network
@SomeCallMeLaz@chris_npdesign@reece_dinsdale It doesn't matter where Christianity originated. England has a Christian-influened culture. A Christian would easily integrate into English society. There'll be no friction about alcohol or slaughter laws. Same with a (non-militant) atheist.
Devout Muslims rarely integrate
@HLTCO The English in Spain or Portugal don't strive to become citizens of those countries. I'd have similarly no issue with a tourist from Congo, on vacation to UK, celebrating their team victory.
@SomeCallMeLaz@chris_npdesign@reece_dinsdale No devout follower of a non-native religion should be granted citizenship or residence, because they are very unlikely to integrate.
@ChrisS144@KelvinEHughes@vicderbyshire And it's not only one man. There are multiple criminals Pakistan refuses to take back, and hundred of thouthands of Pakistanis who failed to integrate (don't work, don't know English) and should also be deported.
@ChrisS144@KelvinEHughes@vicderbyshire You asked about a problem - Pakistan not accepting ("How do you get Pakistan to agree to accept him, after his conviction and having not been resident there for over 50 years?"), I answered.
If there is another problem - your own laws, the solution is different. Change the laws
@BastionMediaFR Wine is so ingrained into French culture. If I was French I'd be against granting residency to anyone who refuses to drink on ideological principles. They would never integrate
@ChrisS144@KelvinEHughes@vicderbyshire Stop aid, trade deals and visas until they do. Ally with other western countries so that countries that refuse deportees are sanctioned by all members of the deportation alliance
@KratosKicks_ If the last time a Muslim murdered someone for religious reasons was 800 years ago, rather than 3 minutes ago, we'd all be ok with someone dressing like a terrorist
@MahenMoodley@robprogressive I sometimes also wonder if Singapore is the way to go, but the problem is you never know whether a government would be benevolent until it gets in power. And a non-benevolent authoritarian government is quite awful
@paulg Yes. And why is it wrong? A non-talented immigrant, even if they work, results in a net-negative outcome to all USA citizens, because they receive more than they pay.
Why should any US citizen welcome their coming, talented or not?
@MahenMoodley@robprogressive I agree that capital gains tax should be abolished. But then gov will get less money, and you need to either cut expenses (my preference) or increase property and other taxes
@H6701@robprogressive Wonderful, but council tax covers only real estate. If someone earns from tech or crypto, they pay no tax except capital gains. Yet they expect police protection from criminals who would otherwise kidnap and torture them for their Bitcoin keys.
@fix_cj24318 Ask Qatar, UAE and Israel how they manage to attract millions of workers even though naturalization is almost impossible.
You will perhaps pay them more. But if you let them stay and bring-what you'll save on salaries you'll pay ten times more in welfare, healthcare and crime
