The Left have a become a snivelling self-righteous mob, busy bodying around, trying to shame others

If it was up to me, I would open the borders for the next few years leading up to the next national election and give citizenship to every single person who comes here. Make sure they drown out Reform's votership completely.

Then the right will never get anywhere in UK politics ever again.

Is this a windup? 'The white working class can safely be ignored ...'

I think Reform should put this on their election leaflets to show the thinking of the liberals and leftists. Reform would win a landslide.

The voters will naturally switch over to the Green Party, who are more sympathetic to the plight of minorities both here and overseas.

But ultimately, if you claim to be someone of the left, you need to put all Party politics aside and come together to invite as many people to this island as you can before 2028. Get everybody naturalised and start aggressively marketing policies that these people genuinely are concerned about. The white working class can safely be ignored, they are a diminishing demographic and this is their final act of defiance against what is good for them.

That is what needs to happen. Hopefully the left can see the bigger picture and come together to make the future we all want a certainty.

Indeed, and here's a selection of local comments in response to an online article about the elections, accompanied by a photo of brown skinned people (councillors). This is what people deem to be acceptable 'free speech' these days:

"Taxi drivers awards ceremony?" (139 likes)

"Is this England?" (89 likes)

"We’re all talking in a ‘hush’ way. Now here the real reason here, there are many more muslims in this photo. In my opinion, it does not matter what colour your skin is. As a Christian country, it’s reasonable to expect the people that govern this country should be Christian.
I will leave it here."

"Does this mean taxi fares will be cheaper looks like local taxi firm's Xmas party".

"Looks more like Bangladesh to me".

"Was this an English election, in England?"

"Spot the white face".

"The corruption in that photo is rife".

"That picture speaks a thousand words".

"This is [local city] in England yes?"

"OMG. I wonder if i could stand for parliament in Pakistan".

"Looks like a grooming gang".

"Oh my word. That's all I'm saying. Explanation not required."

"Spot the non Asian".

"Didn't know [local city] was in Pakistan. Countries [sic] done".

"2026 best food delivery man".

"Was the picture taken in Islamabad?"

"The absolute state of that photo".

"Any English left it [local city]?"

"Well done to Pakistan".

"[Local city]? I think you used the wrong photo by accident because this photo looks like it's from Bangladesh".

"Didn't have any white ones?"

"All British patriots".

"Spot the real English white man".

"Where in Pakistan was this photo taken?"

"You would not believe this is England".

"Home grown British politicians in charge".

"Proof that the climate is getting warmer".

"Spot the white man".

"Spot the white man".

"Look at this picture, it literally screams we need restore, the only party that will end this nightmare of what you see here".

"And how many anglo saxon white faces do you see there?"

"Barely an englishman amongst them, I wonder if I went to Pakistan and started a political party if I’d be accepted…… and people say the uk is racist haha".

"Where in the middle east is this?"

"Don't see British people".

Comment after comment like this, because 'free speech innit'. For context, if it matters, the majority of those in the photo were born here. The only comment that got moderated out was one directly referencing 'Pakis'.

As many as would want to come. And taxing the billionaires more proportionately would absolutely be enough to finance as many as 18 million additional people in the country.

Not that I particularly care about that argument because capitalism is only a couple of years from being completely toppled anyway. Then anyone can live where they want without having to 'prove their financial worth' to society.

I think this is actually the thinking behind govts who have enabled mass immigration, from Blair onwards: import the next generations of voters.

Trouble is you get a reaction, which we are seeing now in the success of Reform and the loss of votes for Labour. Ironically even Tony Blair has come out and said we need to get a grip on our borders.

And how do you think that would pan out?

Come on, I’d like a reply. So “open borders” - how many would come? Millions, many millions. How would the country pay benefits? House people? Provide healthcare? We’d have vast camps of new arrivals - all in order for you to give them a vote….

Im guessing that’s Facebook? Facebook comments are a cesspool.

... I hasten to add the people most likely to push an authoritarian approach ARE Reform. Lots of talk about free speech, but only where it allows them to say whatever they like. They actively attempt to restrict media access/ censor media (banning journalists in Nottinghamshire from attending open council meetings for example).

How many are working full time and how many are choosing to work part time and receive UC top ups? If they were on a full time minimum wage they would not be eligible for UC.

Ok, I thought that might be what was meant by this - online forums, cancel culture, etc. Not what has been going on in the recent electoral campaigning.

As you know, cancel culture and purity spirals have been strongly challenged by those on the left and centre. I abhor them and most people I speak to do. As for debating online, apart from threads like this (where I don't think anything I've ever posted could be accused of bullying or screaming) I don't get involved at all and I don't think the majority of people do. It's a cesspit and not reflective of what the electorate think. It really isn't fair to ascribe to the 'Left' the views of SM obsessives.

Oh come on you are at least equally likely to be abused by left leaning posters on social media as right leaning ones. Tribalism is the problem here, don’t add to it.

And there was me thinking the establishment was the banks, the City the billionaires, the Times and the Telegraph and the elite public schools i.e all of the institutions that have shaped and paid Farage...

Hyperbole is always a go-to for those without an argument, isn't it? (Along with condescension and changing the goalposts mid-discussion.) Examples of being 'screamed at' or 'bullied' by someone on the left, please.

Meanwhile, you end your post with a neat little threat.

I don't like Nigel Farage but the establishment is the BBC, the government, the pro diversity obsession of all the institutions that run the country and so on.

Farage is obviously not part of that.

I'm not convinced he's particularly anti establishment but the very fact that he calls out immigration shows he's not part of the establishment - which is presumably why he's got significant support

I would say the Labour government are Centrist as are many of their MP's but there are a large vocal backbench element who are hard left (plus the Unions). Labour were elected on a centre Left platform of growth, helping working people and business. Starmer is too weak to stand up to the Hard Left element of his party, he hasn't got the charisma to charm them into looking at the bigger picture, and has caved in to them so many times they think they can just ignore what he says and act as the official opposition if they don't like what he says. How can you get anywhere when you suspend MP's for voting against your own budget, then say 'Oh yeah OK lets do what you wanted anyway' and pretending its because suddenly the economy is strong enough to deal with it when anyone with eyes can see its not? Putting stupid and ill thought out policies through that would have been fine if they had thought about it for 5 seconds, and many people would agree with, like capping the Winter fuel payment, but not making it so that pensioners who haven't worked a day in their lives get the same pension as those who have paid 25 years of NI. Stupid unforced error after stupid unforced errors. Good ideas made bad over and over again. Those same Leftist MP's not a peep out of them when it comes to funding cuts in education, or to scrutinise how actually inheritance tax for farmers could be made fairer for family farms, etc etc.

Reform and Restore voters are in the majority. Screaming abuse at them, bullying them, attempting to terrorise them into submission won't work this time.

You will find yourself becoming a laughing stock and pariah if you try.
