I thought Migration Watch had a pretty good reputation I don't remember any mainstream politicians playing the race card with them. I think they stick to facts that they know they can back up rather than the usual "bloody foreigners etc." Doesn’t meet some of the agendas on here

Yes, in answer to the op, it has a large part to play in the crisis engulfing our country! Fuel shortages for past 3 weeks, food shortages in supermarkets, farmers culling pigs to bury, fruit and veg rotting in the field, pubs-including chief brexiteer owner shutting at lunchtime instead of serving lunch, restaurants closing days because of no workers, care homes short staffed, leading to cutting back on care and meals, hospitals short staffed to record waiting times-currently 5 million waiting for an operation, but other than that, its all good!

Surely the chief brexiteer was Jeremy Corbyn? He spent decades being anti everything Common Market / EEC / EC / EU.

Yes, but he wasn"t elected Ted, it was the CONservatives slogan- and bungles- "get brexit done"! Oh, may i be a bit cheeky and add bus services in the countryside being cancelled due to lack of drivers?

Whether the referendum should have been held is a matter of opinion but once it was held getting Brexit done was carrying out the will of the majority wasn’t it?

Not really Ted, until the counting finished the slogan of getting it done was only the CONS slogan, now it is done they have to own it! They would be better admitting its been chaos in gb since the result, not constant denial that anything bad was nothing to do with it! I don"t care about it, although can see what a mess its made of the country, maybe in 20 years it will all be for the best and we will all be on decent money, who knows? The evidence , so far, is its been a disaster- even the farmers in the shires have turned on bungle, and they are true blues! Its entertaining, if nothing else, how brexiteers like the wetherspoons bloke have fcuked themselves up, he was the foremost voice on tv telling us to vote leave, and now is asking for a bailout by our european friends, make yer mind up man!

University of Oxford! Not biased at all then Edited by Spiderman (09 Oct 2021 3.30pm) As bias, like beauty, is always in the eye of the beholder, the fact that opinion is expressed in the most scurrilous tabloid in the UK says all you need to know about its validity. In my opinion, of course. I suggest you compare the way "Migration Watch" offer opinions and slant their reporting with the factual, unemotional approach of the "Migration Observatory". The first seems to want to promote a position, whilst the second wants to inform, so the reader can determine their own position.

Not if you believe, as I do, that in so doing Parliament abrogated its responsibility. We know that the Parliament of that time were in favour of remaining, and that the referendum was called solely for political expediency, ie to remove the threat posed by UKIP to the Tories. Knowing that they needed to do their duty and reject the result, whatever the outcry from the Brexiteers. Unfortunately Corbyn tried to play political games and although some highly ethical members tried to do their duty, they were thwarted both by Corbyn, clever marketing and boredom. History will be very hard on Cameron, Farage, May, Johnson, Gove and Corbyn. They will go down in British history as a bunch of failures who led our country into the wilderness.

We can’t go round the should/shouldn’t have had a referendum again. As you say the Government was mostly pro-Europe; it wasn’t some diabolical conspiracy on their part.

Bias means you can take the same statistics and put your own spin on it. Like the long term cost of immigration for example. Migration watch has a pretty damning section on it....whereas these educated wokies don't want to mention it. Let's end with the fervent hope that Cornwall gets pretty of mass immigration as soon as possible as people should live their principles. Edited by Stirlingsays (09 Oct 2021 10.49pm)

There are currently no supermarket shortages in Clapham or Islington, no empty shelves, no lack of choice etc. Seems a mantra without foundation in London at any rate.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |
