British MP Calls for End to ‘Uncontrolled Immigration’ After ‘Medieval’ Beheading Attempt in Belfast

A member of Parliament in the United Kingdom has called for authorities to come to terms with the negative effects of mass immigration after a Sudanese man who claimed asylum allegedly attempted to behead a man in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Monday night.

Gavin Robinson, a member of Parliament with the Democratic Unionist Party, told the House of Commons on Tuesday that the suspect was on a five-year visa and warned the attack “will have profound implications for community cohesion in this country,” according to the BBC.

Robinson called the attack “chilling” and “medieval” and urged the government to realize that “uncontrolled immigration needs to end.”

“The perpetrator living in the U.K. under a five-year visa needs to be convicted and deported on the first flight out on a one-way ticket,” he said, while also urging for calm.

The incident, which reportedly left the victim with “serious injuries” to his face, eyes, neck and back, has shaken the U.K., where major outlets such as the BBC and The Telegraph have been running live blogs detailing the latest developments in the story.

The attack prompted outrage across Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K., with many social media accounts urging “protest against mass immigration into their communities,” according to CBS News.

The backlash to the attempted beheading in Belfast comes in the wake of large protests in the U.K. last week over new revelations regarding the death of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white Englishman who was fatally stabbed last December in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old Sikh.
