Sheila Daly “said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever.”
Nazek Ramadan, director of charity Migrant Voice, said: “These kinds of comments are totally inappropriate, inflammatory and fuel racism. They spread misinformation and incite hatred.”
But what guarantee can Nazek Ramadan give that Sheila Daly is entirely wrong, and that no Afghan evacuees will turn to jihad? He can give no such guarantee. But you’re not allowed to voice such concerns in shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain today. To do so is “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
Incidentally, do you think Sheila Daly is really as red as Metro depicts her in its photograph, or did Metro manipulate the photo?
“Councillor, 78, said refugees fleeing Afghanistan will soon be ‘blowing us up,’” by Tom Williams, Metro, September 13, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A councillor who suggested newly arrived Afghan refugees would soon be ‘blowing us up’ has apologised.
Sheila Daly, 78, made the remarks during a meeting of Kingshurst Parish Council to discuss the new arrivals, many of whom were flown into the Birmingham area after leaving Kabul.
The UK has only offered sanctuary to people and their families who helped the country’s forces during its 20-year mission in Afghanistan.
Many fled due to fears about what the Taliban or ISIS could do to them because of their involvement with Western forces.
But Ms Daly asked if council officials were prepared for the Afghans to begin ‘blowing us up’, a comment that drew audible gasps from others at the meeting.
Although she insisted she was sorry for the remarks, she repeated the accusations when speaking to local press afterwards.
She said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever’.
Ms Daly insisted she was not racist as she used to foster Asian children and said: ‘I would take a family in and look after them. But there are people in this country [whose] children have gone off to a war they didn’t want to fight in Afghanistan.
‘They’ve been killed or maimed. And we’re inviting the same people into this country to have houses [and] jobs.’
The Government has pledged to resettle 20,000 Afghan refugees in the longer term, an effort that has been dismissed as ‘inadequate’ by pressure groups….
After his colleague’s comments, the council’s acting chair David Cole said he had ‘read her the riot act’ and she had apologised and retracted the remark, which the council had accepted.
Nazek Ramadan, director of charity Migrant Voice, which advocates for migrant communities, condemned the councillor.
Mr Ramadan said: ‘These kinds of comments are totally inappropriate, inflammatory and fuel racism. They spread misinformation and incite hatred….
Infidel says
Ms Daly, rather than apologize, should have looked at whether she can afford a security detail to protect herself from all those peaceloving ‘Asians’ on their way to her country. In fact, it needed to be done before she made her perfectly accurate statement
Infidel says
On a different note, I think that Brits, particularly those w/ young daughters, should look at migrating to countries demonstrably less tolerant of muslims. Maybe Burma or Sri Lanka
gravenimage says
Infidel–with all respect–the idea that Britons should abandon their great land to Muslims who make up just 5% of the population is a great mistake. This not only destroys the seat of democracy, but endlessly emboldens Muslims in conquering the rest of Dar-al-Harb.
Muslims actually make up almost twice the percentage of the population in Sri Lanka that they do in the UK.
Infidel says
Except that Sri Lanka doesn’t tolerate any garbage from the muslims, whereas UK does
VICTOR COWEN says
5% ??? Do you really believe that?
gravenimage says
Victor, it may be even higher–but I still don’t believe that we should cede our civilized lands to Islam. You may believe in surrender, but I do not.
I think it important that we fight to defend our lands–caving in to Islam and fleeing at any incursions will just ensure that we face more of a threat.
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
The native non-elite Brits have three choices:
1. Stay in the UK and accept islamization.
2. Stage a popular – and likely bloody – revolt against the corrupt government / nongovernment Marxist elites.
3. Flee to a safer Visegrad Group country – (I’m not as familiar with Burma or Sri Lanka).
gravenimage says
James–with the greatest respect–I think that before 2. that just bravely speaking out is the step to take.
PRCS says
She’s right to express that opinion.
But, she and a great many other Western public servants need some training on diplomatically doing so.
A better approach, IMO, would have been to ask what guarantees British citizens have that none of those “evacuees” has come to harm them.
STOP shooting yourselves in the foot.
Infidel says
Mohammedans and their lackeys on the Left will be incensed no matter how she phrases it. It’s high time for people on our side to not mince any words or deliver word salad to these people. Instead, as I suggested above, she should have put together a security detail that she can afford long term and then made that exact statement that she did
PRCS says
We disagree.
“She said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever’.”
To say that she–like so many others–did not believe every Afghan who’d come to the UK had worked with British forces and was suspicious that the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country is where that should have ended.
It’s high time those on our side stop making it so easy for Muslims and their useful idiots to be incensed.
Put THEM on defense.
IMO
Infidel says
They’ll be incensed, no matter what. By 20 years, we should have learnt that. It’s high time we stopped placating them
PRCS says
As I said, I disagree.
gravenimage says
PRCS, I have to agree with Infidel here. I think that what Sheila Daly said was perfectly reasonable.
You know how polite and measured Robert Spencer is, yet he is still excoriated as an “Islamophobe” (not to mention the regular death threats he recieves). The idea that if only we are polite *enough* that Muslims and their dhimmi enablers will happily accept concerns over Jihad terror is mistaken.
PRCS says
Not polite. Measured. Factual. Without the gaffes that so frequently result in apology.
Mr. Ramadan took the opportunity she handed him to declare ‘These kinds of comments are totally inappropriate, inflammatory and fuel racism. They spread misinformation and incite hatred….
As usual, “our side” ended up apologizing.
That could have been avoided.
gravenimage says
PRCS, I don’t see anything she said here that was not factual.
And critics of Islam are so often pushed to apologize, and rarely because what they have to say is untrue.
Eleanor says
I understand what you are saying, but geez, it galls when you have to walk on eggshells when talking about such an important issue as this. Time will tell if she is right, and sadly, I think she is right, and probably 80% of UK people would agree with her.
PRCS says
I’m not suggesting walking on eggshells; rather the kind of factual approach that puts THEM on defense while eliminating the need for the endless apologies from “our side”.
mortimer says
Sheila Daly is BLOODY RIGHT.
PRCS says
If she was right, why did she apologize?
gravenimage says
Political pressure? Again, PRCS, you don’t say what Daly got wrong here.
PRCS says
Yes, actually I did.
‘“She said she did not believe all the Afghans who had come to the UK had worked with British forces and spoke of her suspicion the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country to cause mayhem, blow us up, or do whatever’.”
To say that she–like so many others–did not believe every Afghan who’d come to the UK had worked with British forces and was suspicious that the Taliban would try to ‘smuggle people into the country is where that should have ended.
It’s high time those on our side stop making it so easy for Muslims and their useful idiots to be incensed.
Put THEM on defense.’
She apolobized. They won. Again.
Anne Smith says
Always better to ask questions than to make statements.
Infidel says
At this point in history, asking questions is actually sending signals that we’d be willing to listen to what they have to say. We absolutely must not! Doing so implies that we assume that they’re not lying, and the time was way past that point: we have to assume that they’re lying when their lips move, and act accordingly. In other words, draw up whatever policies we have to based on the assessed threat
Time for listening to them or their apologists is way past
TruthWFree says
These comments have past actions by Jihadists that support them as certainly possible if not a certainty.
DavidR says
This is a good example of how a 78 year old women speaking from observable knowledge and common sense almost becomes an outcast. It takes a society that values appearance over substance and words more than the intentions behind them. A society that doesn’t even have the patience to listen to the people with the most experience. The spiteful, self righteous mob has spoken. Off with her head!
James Lincoln says
So, according to the feature article:
“Mr Ramadan said: ‘These kinds of comments are totally inappropriate, inflammatory and fuel racism. They spread misinformation and incite hatred….”
At first, I thought that he was referring to the imams who are currently leading prayer in the UK mosques.
But no…
somehistory says
First of all, if she is really that red of face and neck, she has too much time in the sun….put on some “bag balm” quick-like to take away the pain. If she has not been in the sun, and her face and neck are really that red, she should have her BP checked…eat some watermelon and try to relax more.
Now to her Truthful comments: Did not isis say that they were going to sneak their members in to the U.S., via the “refugee” movement? Did isis suicide bombers not murder many at the airport gate recently, having gotten past the taliban who were “guarding” the gates?
Terrorists work together to reach their goals of making everyone submit to islam and its filthy evils. They may fight among themselves for the seat of power, but they fight together against the infidel enemies.
She is right. Many who pushed ahead to get on the planes out of afghanistan, did so with the motive of getting a free ride to the West…the U.K,. the U.S., and wherever else the planes would eventually land. Who can say with certainty what the numbers of ready-to-murder- terrorists were among them? Some have already been identified as being on watch lists and some were even deported previously.
Have not the taliban and al queda already made statements of ‘not just afghanistan’ will be under their control?
She should not apologize, but tell them she will be sure to remind them with an “I told you so,” when her concerns become reality.
And if the mozlums already among them don’t like it, they are free to leave her country for one of their own, controlled by people of their ilk who won’t utter the Truth.

somehistory says
I posted some links to other sources of the facts, but my comment, now hours old, is still “awaiting moderation.”
isis terrorists made the boast…and followed through…back from about 2015 and the news links I attempted to post, show that.
tgusa says
Be happy. My first comment after launching my browser goes to a different site asking me to verify who I am but when I do it doesn’t allow me to go any further. I found a way around that but I wont say how I do it. After that, it is smooth sailing.
You, somehistory, would be one of the last persons that I would expect to post offensive material, even by today’s strict standards of tolerance. I can guarantee you that I could be much more offensive than you could ever dream of being.
somehistory says
Thank you, tgusa .
I also have that problem. It says I need to do the captcha or whatever, but won’t allow me to. I have also found a way around it….or wouldn’t be here.
The comment…that at this time is still being moderated…had no ‘offensive’ language unless the moderator is a mozlum. I only put links to sites where the news was that isis was infiltrating the hordes of ‘refugees’ that were pouring in from all over.
I’m guessing that the buttons for offensive were pushed by the links and no actual person has looked at it as yet.
I want to sincerely thank you for your comment about my lack of ability to be offensive. That makes my day. I hope you have a great one.
tgusa says
You are welcome and thank you somehistory. For some, being offensive takes practice. For others, it come naturally. Usually, people that end up wanting to attack me, punch me in the face, etc, etc, are offended by the truth I confront them with. Those types tend to get violent but I will have to say that risking a punch in the face is well worth it. I bet you can guess who they are.
somehistory says
You are very welcome, tgusa.
I get three guesses and the first two don’t count?
tgusa says
Of course.
gravenimage says
Thanks for all those links, Somehistory.
tim gallagher says
Oops, what a slip up by the councillor. You can’t tell the truth like that these days. I’m pretty sure, though I hope it doesn’t happen, that what she said is exactly what will happen. And if these invaders are not blowing us up, they will be raping young girls, stabbing people to death in terrorist attacks and behaving in all the other usual barbaric ways that Muslims so often behave. Far better to keep them out of all our western countries and avoid all the crap they always bring with them..
PRCS says
They’re already here.
tim gallagher says
That’s a huge problem, PRCS. I keep thinking that our societies need to wake up and stop the rot and ban any more Muslims coming into our countries. But I can see how difficult it would be to do. The Hungarians have it right by banning Muslims. In Australia we have around 2% Muslims and I can see how hard it would be, and what outrage and whingeing and whining, from Muslims and left wingers, we would cop if our politicians did wake up and said, hey, we’ve had enough of all the trouble Muslims keep causing and we are not letting any more in. But, to me, one day, this is what is going to need to be done in all non-Muslim countries. Otherwise, we are in huge trouble.

UK: Councillor warns that some Afghan evacuees will soon be ‘blowing us up,’ then retracts and apologizes
……………………….
Sheila Daly was of coruse right the first time.
Nazek Ramadan blames the ‘filthy Infidels’ for Muslims not integrating into British society.
john smith says
Gravenimage, of course she was right the first time, and she shouldn’t of apologised for telling
the truth.But as Robert pointed out what guarantee can Nazek Ramadam give that she is entirely wrong. None whatsoever. But I can guarantee you with 100% certainty, that there will be jihadi’s amongst them, and sooner they will be blowing us up.
somehistory says
Back before 2001, some mozlums….one named mo atta, .rented an apartment in Germany. No one, evidently, was watching him, he was on no lists, he wasn’t considered a ticking time bomb nor was he considered to be making some.
Then, he moved to Florida, U.S.A, and rented an apartment. He went to bars, drank the booze and ogled women. Trying to ‘fit in.’
Then, he traveled to N.J. I believe it was and bought a ticket to fly to the West Coast.
He and 19 other terrorists had ‘infiltrated’ the U.S. under the guise of students, tourists, etc. and were allowed in as normal people.
After he and his cohorts murdered thousands, he was investigated and was found to have been in that apartment in Germany….making plans to fly planes into buildings in the U.S.
It’s anyone’s guess how many are now in Germany, the U.K., the U.S., etc., or will soon be… making similar plans while sitting in an apartment for which they are not required to pay rent…it’s a freebee.
john smith says
So true Somehistory, and as you yourself have stated on numerous occasions it’s the forces of darkness that we are up against. muslims are pawns of satan, hate is their love, darkness is their light. They are programmed to oppose everything that is beautiful, such as love, music or art.
It is so obvious to a healthy mind just how perverse and evil islam is. a healthy mind will immediately see it. But muslims don’t have healthy minds, their minds have been blinded by their dark thoughts. If you allow only darkness in you will never see the light.
somehistory says
You are so very correct. And, John Smith, they are so blind, no one can warn them without risking life and limb.
Stay safe over there.
john smith says
They are blind Somehistory, and they follow islam blindly. So l wrote a little poem.
Don’t believe your senses,
Don’t believe what you believe is true.
The sun is cold and dark,
The sky is green it was never blue.
Don’t believe the ear from which you hear,
Or the eye from which you see.
Don’t believe in nothing or no one,
Only believe in me.
Blind Faith.
somehistory says
Thank you, John Smith. It fits. Not everyone can write poetry, but this is good.
tgusa says
I need clarification. Is she apologizing because she hasn’t yet been blown up or because she feels she needs to apologize before she is blown up?
Dead men tell no tales and they can never find the time to apologize.
VICTOR COWEN says

If I was her, I would just say ‘Wait and see if I’m wrong, but I probably won’t be’.
Elizabeth Lawson says
My response to her comment is, given international news reports, she is correct. Words do not dominate in cases where verifiable evidence exists. For far to long now we have listened to the wails of Islamists regarding their rejection of ( our) Islamophobia. Evidence of cold blooded murder by bomb, bullet, strangulation, knife etc. seems to me to be a very real matter to fear and to grieve over. ‘Offending’ another for any reason is wrong, but is by far a great remove from the criminal offence of murder – which, according to published details of Islamic laws, Sharia law is not only promoted in the Koran, but is encouraged.
OLD GUY says
Is it just me or what? Why are the western countries of the world being dominated with islam/muslim migrants that make up such a small percentage of our populations. Seems like we give the microphone and media to the minority at the expense of the majority. The majority should not have to bend over for every whim and ideology these refugees and migrants bring with them. If you migrate to my home you should be ready to follow my laws and social norms or don’t come here expecting to be taken care of and to change my life and freedom.
Fellow citizens we need to close our borders to illegal migration and refugees.
