He slags off Tommy Robinson, a guy who bothered to campaign against vulnerable girls being abused and raped decades ago (though it was originally the BNP)....accuses him of doing it for personal gain, with zero evidence, when this guy has gone to prison and suffered attacks for his beliefs and is in constant state and activist lawfare.

When he himself said on this very forum that he had heard twenty years ago of what was going on. Yet did nothing and when the Police were criticised on this forum.....and in multiple reports....came out with excuse after excuse after excuse.

Yet the people who were shouting about this when the Police were letting it happen are the people he complains about.

Damned by his own words.

I am not going to tell you all my charitable acts, who I support or how extensively.

The opinion of all the authorities trying to handle these awful cases is that Y-L made their work much more difficult and diverted resources onto having to deal with him that were better used elsewhere.

Sure. Wait for the report was the watchword because everything else is just speculation and conspiracy theories. Now it's ignore what it says and blame Robinson for everything.

How can you cater for an ever increasing number of arrivals?
There are no scare stories, only reality. Have you seen Britain lately? Difficult from Cornwall with your head where the sun don't shine I suppose.

I have seen no 'action' other than making the problem worse on a yearly basis.

It is quite painful to see your naivety. It's more painful to imagine the kind of country my grand children will grow up in.

We both know that Britain has become over reliant on migrants, and that business wants cheap and available labour to suppress wages and easily replace staff who don't accept poor conditions.

Have you been to hospital lately? The NHS is no longer fit for purpose, even with migrant workers making up the numbers. It needs to improve the quality of staff as well as those numbers. Training and recruitment of British people should be a priority instead of agency staff and foreigners. Half of them are incompetent and the risk of malpractice is greater than ever.

The average person does not benefit at all from mass immigration, and neither do they want it.
The sooner we wean ourselves off this apparent reliance, the better.

People like you are the obstacle.

Nobody knows how many “arrivals” there might be. It depends on the need. You seem to think that these people remain as separate groups, gradually growing in number until they are bigger than us.

It’s just untrue. Society gradually becomes homogeneous. People mix, along with their cultures. We need to ensure that second and third generations of new citizens are fully embedded into our culture. That requires us making efforts. It starts at school but also needs to be done by all of us. Even by you!

It would be so simple if there was a pool of local people just waiting to take up the slack if only the wages were higher. It’s a fantasy. I am all for making the feckless work and ending the benefit culture that scars our society, but is neither a quick nor a complete answer.

My wife works for the NHS. I am at our hospital almost every day and know lots of the staff. A high proportion of the doctors and nurses are from overseas. No longer from the EU though. We broke that with Brexit. Nor are there many these days from Australia or New Zealand. They come from all over the world but increasingly from African countries.

The average person couldn’t survive without immigration. You included. People like you need to come to terms with reality.

More lies.

Once again, the reminder that Japan suffer far more infrastructure and economic damage that our country from WW2 and took in no immigration and recovered. By the eighties it was an economic powerhouse doing better than us...the supposed victors of WW2....Germany was a similar story who proportionally had lost something like four or fives times our manpower.

People telling you that we needed immigrants are liars. It was a political choice and one that business preferred and still do to keep training costs and wages lower.

Now the situation has been created that we have built systems too reliant on them.....but only a liar says that this was anything other than a political choice by traitors.

Because that's what they are.

Once again, the people of this nation never asked for this immigration and were lied to about it constantly by both parties.

Wage suppression is the major issue for the lower-skilled working class. The minimum wage has become the 'going rate'.
How valued to i feel by my employer, knowing they are paying me the minimum they are legally obliged to pay. Not just my current employer (I work as a temp), but all 5 of my previous employers in the last 2 years. Minimum wage, or 10p an hour above. That included large multi-nationals, local Council and County Council.

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

I see the false comparison with Japan is made yet again. Japan is not the UK. It is both geographically and culturally different. Nevertheless it faces the same challenges that we do from an aging population and declining birth rate and is adopting the same, inevitable, solution, although later and better managed. The biggest reason that in the past immigration was lower there was not that they didn’t welcome or need workers, but that people didn’t want to go there. It’s isolated, speaks an unfamiliar language and has an unfamiliar culture. Like Germany they disguised immigration under a guest worker category.

I know from personal experience just how much emphasis is put these days in the Philippines for people to learn Japanese. There are many Filipinos there now doing the unskilled jobs, quietly and without publicity.

The real lie is that Japan doesn’t face the same issues or isn’t responding in the same way. It does and it is. The difference is more perceived than real.

There is though much that we can learn from in what Japan expects of its immigrants. Adopting a no nonsense expectation of behaviour and respect for the local culture is precisely what I want us to do.

If the people don’t physically exist in sufficient numbers to fill the vacancies no level of increase will solve the problem.

Getting those who could work to work has to be done and using a carrot and stick approach makes sense. It would help, but isn’t a complete solution.

At the end of 2020, over 19% of working age benefits were paid about to ("feckless"?) Non-UK Nationals.

Total BS.

There are far too many immigrants arriving from alien cultures for them to mix with the existing population.
The proof is everywhere. It isn't even a debate.

Again, blaming Brexit for the lack of non European staff is just hogwash. It was like that way before Brexit.

All you do is hide behind nonsense arguments with no substance.

Europeans have to start having more children and recognise that AI will remove the need for low paid work in many areas.

We have destroyed this country for short termism and the consequences are around for all but the blind and stupid to see.

Once again we get the implied insult from the usual quarter that because Britain is geographically and culturally different to Japan that it somehow required third worldism and justifies destroying its indigenous culture, genetics and heritage.

It is of course pure excuse for what he as a third worldist wants and is pure rubbish.

Once again....Polls clearly show that all along the way high immigration into Britain was strongly opposed.

The argument that immigration was required comes up against the reality that Britain lost more men in the First World War than the second by a significant margin. Yet this wasn't done.

The real reasons for the decision to take in foreigners post WW2 was....as he partly implies economic....and it should also be looked at who was organising and doing it. It keys into a point I regularly make on the cultural change and disconnection the elite developed post war that differed from our First World war elites.

We see him trying to suggest that Japan is on the same pathway that Britain has taken.....he links to leftist sources who clearly want this outcome and will cheerlead for it.

The reality is the similar but not the same. Japan has business leaders who want to exploit lower wages....yes this is true, so they push a form of immigration....but it's a lie to compare it in anything like the same scale. It's also not the same as immigrants can't stay in Japan. They are made to go back once their visas expire. They can't become naturalised citizens just by being in Japan.

Japan are also ensuring that this is largely ethnically Asian immigration. They haven't got some weirdo obsession with taking in genetic stock in numbers that destroys their Asian heritage and culture. In this they are no different to the policy of Israel.

Once again, the aging population argument falls flat when we have growing automation. It's a population pyramid scheme that doesn't work as immigrants grow old too. Japan is ensuring that it accesses working largely Asian migrants who then have to leave.

Even Powell was not against this form of immigration....what caused his 1968 speech was the betrayal of the political class to adhere to their promises of sending these immigrants back.....He felt that he had been lied to himself because he initially supported the immigration policy.....but he wouldn't lie like the others once he saw the reality.

Anyone feckless, whatever their background, be they a non-uk national, a keyboard warrior or a disgruntled ex teacher need to be put back to work.

Does it not occur to even someone as deluded as you that the larger the population, the more people needed to service it?

Do you not recognise that migrants will get old and need more healthcare just like everyone else?

Have the implications of this not dawned on you?

This country is almost unrecognisable from the one I was born into. It has become a lawless, dystopian, divided place where not a day goes by without some immigrant related issue in the news.

People like you have been so busy trying stop 'Nazis' that you have been blind to a much bigger threat.
