But why wouldn’t you want more people like this? I don’t get it. Anyway, usual suspects, but the police look like they’ve got these troublesome right-wing extremists well under control;

Ah, this would be “the religion of peace” then.
You took the words right out of my mind.
The foreign aid budget otherwise known as the ‘Ripped off British taxpayers fund for foreign dictators’ should be scrapped. While we have so much as one Britishh person going homeless or hungry in this country we have no business lavishing cash on foreign gangsters and murderers.
The corollary of abolishing the foreign aid budget would also mean we have no money for immigrants so the Royal National
LifeboatTaxi Service would have to be stood down. And because there would no longer be foreign aid money available to be spent in this country we would have to start deporting all those who have rocked up these last ten years.Genius.
Except it isn’t “Aid”.——— It is “Altruism”.
No harm in using their own words against them.
I am not being critical of you. Only of the farce that is “Aid”
“I am not being critical of you.”
I know.

And foreign sexual predators, because try as they might, no matter what they do they just can’t get themselves deported. What does a scummy PoS have to do to get themselves kicked out the country nowadays??
”An Afghan sex offender avoided deportation after lawyers claimed his treatment of women would put him at risk of “mob violence” in his home country.
The 31-year-old asylum seeker was jailed for 12 weeks for “outraging public decency and exposure” and was placed on the sex offenders’ register for seven years.
However, the Afghan was awarded refugee status and avoided deportation after claiming it was a breach of his human rights to deny him asylum in the UK.
Doctors told the immigration tribunal that the Afghan man, referred to only as DH, continued to act “inappropriately” towards women despite his conviction.
An immigration tribunal judge agreed with lawyers that his “risky behaviours” would expose him to “ill treatment” and even “mob violence” if he returned to Afghanistan.
Christopher Hanson, the tribunal judge, therefore ruled that the man should be granted refugee status, allowing him to remain in the UK.”

It is becoming increasingly clear that the best way to obtain ‘refugee status’ is to become a low-level convicted criminal – a kiddy fiddler, a rapist or a non-lethal stabber. The judiciary love ’em.
That reminds me of certain MPs…
“An immigration tribunal judge agreed with lawyers that his “risky behaviours” would expose him to “ill treatment” and even “mob violence” if he returned to Afghanistan.”
The tribunal judge is well versed in Afghanistani mores then? I wonder how many years he / she has lived there.
I thought Afghanistan women were second class citizens in their own country or is that just in the UK?
I hear what you say and I agree.
The end result of the current arrangements is the disposal of U.K. taxpayers money goes to either a corrupt government overseas to misuse or to the corrupt government in the UK to misuse.
I recall in the past, U.K. taxpayers money was sent to China of all places, to improve the lives of Chinese pensioners. Unbelievable!
In all corners of the country, even in the smallest towns migrants pop up like daffodils in springtime. They just appear out of thin air. I ask the squirming hand wringers in both main parties. How many people do you think can comfortably live in these Islands? 70 million? 80 million? 100 million —HOW MANY?
dandelions
To some people dandelions are considered weeds.
Whoops.
Hate speech!
Surely calling dandelions weeds cannot be ‘hate speech.’
Can it?
So how many dandelions can we house in this country before we need to go to B&Q
In my local country town of Shaftesbury, I have noticed more darker skinned ‘gentlemen’, never ladies, walking down to the town in their ones and twos. It’s a gradual process of normalisation. Just a few at first, then more and more.
If you drive thru Small Heath in Birmingham it’s more like downtown Hyderabad
Oldham, Saturday afternoon – my worst nightmare…Pakistan…or Bangladesh.
I can’t tell the bloody difference.
Immigration Policy seems to consist of only one thing ——Dispersal. —————-All of these hundreds of thousands of people are going to have to live somewhere and presumably that will be in a HOUSE. I see plenty of migrants but not so many houses.
How long before Birmingham becomes a no go area for non Muslims.
How long before we all need to seek asylum in a country not over run with these people?
I have noticed that, there is a large Victorian Hotel up the road, I suspect that is housing a few.
I suspect these islands could comfortably accommodate 100 million people if the additional people were industrious, responsible, and capable of being integrated into British society. The problem is less that of high numbers than the primitive and barbaric nature of most of the imports.
Maybe we could accommodate 100 million but why would we want to? And do we really want the whole country all choc a bloc like London where it takes 2 hours to make a 15 minute journey?——What is the point of all this self inflicted clutter?
Allows Government to claim 1% annual growth in GDP.
(for a population grown by 1.5%).
And diverting some of the foreign aid budget to the local landlords might result in a stable income to some of them, compared with a typical holiday trade. Spot the vested interests.
Overseas development aid ought to be abolished in its entirety. It enriches corrupt officials and pseudo charities while retarding genuine development in poorer countries. real development requires a culture in which hard work and personal responsibility, property rights, and the rule of law are respected. It does not require much else and certainly not interference by leftist bureaucrats.
Unfortunately it is systemic and can not easily be stopped in the sense of th emechanics of the system. You will get flotsam and jetsam pushed hither and yon by the forced of capital and the British seem to be more seduced by cheap labour than most countries. You can talk about your country turning into a craphole, and it definitely has, but how can you ignore the forces that have made it this way. In terms of prognosis the future of this country is perhaps the bleakest of all western countries in terms of the next five years. After that I would wager that there will be so few left from our perspective that it will die out completely. We led the world with everything including the jab. Don’t assume that Britain will be top of the world forever because it is looking very different.
