Anyone been to Great Britain recently?

I'm not really sure what you're referring to.

Muslim migrants making a mess of the country. Not sure how contained it is to certain areas or if it's more of a "as long as you stay away from the bad parts of town" which wouldn't be touristy areas anyway.

There are certain places within cities you'll want to avoid (in London and Manchester at least.) Pay attention to what is going on in places like Trafalgar square, for instance, before assuming you're going to walk through it with no issues. It might be the beginning of Eid, or some protest against colonization or some shite. Otherwise, you'll be more assaulted by leftie Euro bullshite like bus ads that drinking animal milk is stealing from animal babies than anything else.

There's your typical late night thuggery near drinking streets on High Street, but that's nothing new.

And you thinking

western European country that isn't full of immigrant

is completely fricking hilarious. Italy has been nailed by North African immigrants for a long time; leave Roma Termini through the wrong door and you'll find them PDQ. Big cities in France, Belgium, Germany, all the same as London, but there are some subway stations you do not want to accidentally get off at in Paris and Brussels at least.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep planning for Great Britain 2026 then.

I'll be in Munich twice in the coming months. I'll be on the lookout

In 2023 we ran into a Muslim parade. We just backtracked and walked to the next block and crossed behind it. Over by Picadilly.

Oxford and Windsor were lovely. Maybe going to places outside of London might keep you away from any concerning areas.

Most major US cities are way more shite and dangerous

How many stabbings and terror attacks have there been, New Orleans included, since 31 DEC 24, in the US vs. the EU? We'll wait.

Walking into the ninth ward or the South Side of Chicago is probably close to what you'll get trying to walk through certain neighborhoods in London, Brussels, and Paris. And since most people would rather be shot than stabbed, advantage, 'Merica.

We were going to do Germany (Munich)/Austria this summer, but decided to go the London route instead as we're taking our daughter on her first Euro trip, and felt an English speaking one would be better.

The UK should be fun for your daughter, but probably still best to unlearn this scared of the news mentality. "All the shite" in Munich is likely entirely unnoticeable IRL. It's a huge world. shite happens. Bad shite. Munich is not really one of those areas where shite is bad enough to actively avoid it.

(BTW, Germans speak pretty good English )
