Back to Africa By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
In recent years, a growing number of immigrant families in the UK, particularly those from African backgrounds such as Somalia and Ghana, have made the difficult decision to send their children back to their countries of origin. This trend stems from a deep-seated fear that the streets of London and other urban centers have become too dangerous for young people, especially teenagers. Knife crime, gang violence, and a perceived lack of safety have driven parents to take drastic measures, prioritising their children's survival over the opportunities the UK once promised. For many of these families, the decision reflects a reversal of the immigrant dream—a dream that brought them to Britain in search of a better life, only to find that the environment they encountered posed risks they could not tolerate. Yes, talk about irony.
The surge in knife crime across the UK, particularly in London, has been a key factor in this exodus. Reports indicate that hundreds of parents, especially within the British-Somali community, have opted to send their teenage children to East Africa to shield them from the violence plaguing the capital. In 2019, the BBC highlighted this growing trend, noting that 8 percent of the 100 people stabbed to death in the UK that year were of Somali heritage—a disproportionate figure that alarmed community leaders and parents alike. One mother, interviewed by the BBC, described sending her 15-year-old son to Somaliland after he began associating with troubling peers in London, that is gangs of his ethnicity. She noted that, upon his return, he had transformed into a studious child once more, suggesting that the move, while extreme, offered a reprieve from the dangers of the city. Similarly, posts on X have echoed this sentiment, with users pointing to cases like a 13-year-old boy sent to Ghana by his parents to escape London's gang culture, framing it as a desperate act of protection in a city failing to ensure safety.
This phenomenon is not merely a reaction to statistics but a response to lived experiences. Parents speak of sleepless nights, haunted by the sound of police sirens and the constant threat of losing their children to violence. The mayor of Islington, Rakhia Ismail, herself a Somali refugee and mother, estimated in 2019 that two out of every five Somali families in London were considering or had already sent their children back home. She posed a stark question: does a parent wait for their child to be killed, or do they take the drastic step of uprooting them to a place perceived as safer, despite its own challenges? Somalia, for instance, is listed by the UK Foreign Office as one of the world's most dangerous countries due to terrorism and instability, yet for some parents, it still feels like a lesser evil compared to the immediate threat of knife crime in their neighbourhoods. This shows how bad the once White city of London, now majority non-white, has become.
The irony is palpable: families who fled conflict or persecution in their home countries now find themselves fleeing a different kind of danger in the UK. Posts on X have framed this as an indictment of leadership, pointing fingers at figures like London Mayor Sadiq Khan and Prime Minister Keir Starmer for failing to curb the violence that drives such decisions. Few are stating recognition of the herd of elephants in the room, that multicult/multiracial diversity, produced by a deliberate mass immigration program, is what has made once London into jungle-land.
Aussies beware, you are right behind the UK in this program of national suicide, with your White populations deracinated, and reduced to passive servitude.
