For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

The Chair of the Conservative Party, Greg Hands, proved totally unable to answer the ridiculously partisan questions asked by Lara Kuenssberg, despite her prompting and despite having his cheat notes written on the palm of his left hand. Kuenssberg was not so kind to Wes Streeting which is strange given he did actually answer her questions.

yeah, defund the BBC and that right wing bias. Hands was hopeless and Streeting was trying to defend the indefensible record of Starmer as DPP on convictions and sentencing panel, even common man hater Thornberry complained to him in writing. Just demonstrates that's what most politicians are like. At least Streeting has outed the NHS as being in need of reform not just money.
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. |

Don't be silly. The Nazi's were genocidal tyrants, who were always doomed to failure. The question was never if, but how and when. That wasn't change. It was attempted domination. We face changes that are simply part of an evolution. It will work itself out in time. It must work within an environment. That which benefits will prosper. That which doesn't will fade away. What utter cobblers. Evolution has nothing to do with it. It is simply a matter of a small island of people being occupied and steadily replaced by people from other places. This is a policy forced upon us by bureaucrats who couldn't care less about anything other than short term gain. Our governments determine our policy on immigration, not Darwin, God, fate, the environment, or any other cop out excuse.

When anyone suggests that they know my mind better than myself I know they have lost the plot. I know I believe all of humanity, at its heart, shares all our common characteristics. We want the same things. We need the same things. We feel the same things. The things that separate us are artificial constructions, especially that of religious belief. We can destroy, or avoid, such constructions. We cannot though destroy our common humanity. We are undergoing a period of change. It's inevitable, given our situation and that which exists elsewhere. There is no reason to resent it and less reason to try to resist it. It's nothing new. It's just happening faster than in the past, just as everything is. You are not enjoying the ride, but your grandchildren won't even question they have been on one. Their concerns will be much more focussed on why we didn't spend more effort protecting them against the real threats they face. 'We'? Who is we? We won't exist soon. That is not change. That is extinction. Our grandchildren will face a divided country in upheaval, and their children could well be in a minority on an overpopulated island with natural resources being rationed. All thanks to idiots.

Who's 'our grandchildren'? If your grandchildren grow up to appreciate someone non white, are their kids less important to you on a racial basis? Do they transform into tragic signifiers of 'extinction' who you can't relate to? Racially distanced from at birth. Or are they instead just your great grandchildren afterall? Thankfully, I anticipate most having a more realistic and considered view of their value than you appear capable of. There are valid arguments to be had about immigration, race and the like, but they certainly aren't present in your narrow and unrealistic distinctions.

Forgive me, but I don't have a clue what you are talking about.

If your concern is our grandchildren being a minority unless you decide to operate by coersive family control regarding others procreation, you don't have meaningful say in racial realities on that level. As such. it's pointless to hold such a detached view of those who will inevitably by your own logic be 'your own' down the line not just some segment of genetic code you're desperately trying to escape from. Aversions can be taken too far and often creep up and internal issues within families, rather than an external vent,. Well that or being forced to adopt a more realistic outlook about people and how to value them. God forbid. Immigration is realistically the beginning and end point of discussion on these issues. Drift too far from that and you're a walking advertisement for votes in the opposite direction rather than getting anyone onside.
