To absolutely hate this government, and what they are doing to our country? PART 2

A continuation of Thread 1.

Strong words but is is how I feel at this point in time. All of them make me feel physically sick. Why? Well many reasons.. Here are just two.

Eg. They won't release sex crime statistics of immigrants / asylum seekers. Why? Other European countries have done, and it is not pretty. Our gvt gives out a leaflet asking them not to rape the locals. Why? Our gvt has said they won't house asylum seekers next to schools and nurseries, why?

Eg. UK now spends more on benefits than it earns in income tax. Labour have increased this - not reduced it. Astonishing. As they say - "Who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?" That's Labour's Welfare Secretary. He's describing the priorities of Labour MPs.

In the last financial year, the UK government brought in £331 billion in income tax — and spent even more, £333 billion, on welfare, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility's latest economic and fiscal outlook (obr.uk/efo/economic-and-fiscal-outlook-march-2026/#chapter-6).

Yeh you’ve gone somewhere a bit er random when using AI to collate poster’s views.

I thought it was interesting. I don't use AI myself. I use the older way of looking things up.

Do you use AI ? It appears you do. I mentioned it in a reply above.

I am not against AI. Not at all. I do think it should be clearly labelled when it is used though. As that thread summary was.

More fool a man who has spent time in jail with a conviction of armed kidnapping over a drugs dispute? He slashed the boat whilst currently on bail.

Do you condone his action if no one was in the boat?

I would approve of the confiscation of the dinghies, yes. Who owns them?

Well blossom talks about that man not having the same culture as her or ‘anyone else she knows’ and said ‘he probably doesn’t belong here’.

I don’t like the guy but found blossoms attack on him rather hypocritical. So I wondered who did have the same culture as her ‘and anyone else she knows’, and who did belong. I used the commonly known phrase ‘more your bag?’ instead of writing a few sentences. I was just trying to work it out, you see.

I didn’t attack him. It was a response to a post. I wouldn’t waste time on attacking him. Your post on the other hand …

More fool him to have been caught doing it. I'd rather nobody else had been in it when he took away a smuggling tool.

Comes to something when you've got to get a robot to dissect convos on a public forum. Fuck me.

Chill out. Someone decided it was a good idea to stalk me through AI a few weeks ago. You can see what it says if you input your user name.

Quite sure the discussion was about convicted criminal Daniel Thomas. Jailed for armed kidnapping over drugs. He's got two court cases pending two arrests within weeks. Whilst on bail he did this.

Interesting that you’d do this. I’ve seen posts re people using AI in this way on specific posters.

Probably better to try to counter without this.

It is. It shows the vast number of offences are committed by non-foreign nationals. This is not the exact same 12 months but no reason to think the figures wouldn't be broadly similar:

Between 1 September 2023 and 30 September 2024, there were 11,075 crimes recorded that were not subsequently cancelled and were classified as sexual offences.

www.westyorkshire.police.uk/freedom-of-information/october-2024-foi-2238645-24-rape-and-sexual-offences

‘It is. It shows the vast number of offences are committed by non-foreign nationals. ’

🤣 Guess you don’t understand proportionality or maybe you prefer per capita. Either way it clearly flies over your head. Useful that innit.

Why? He's only trying to stop the boats because the government won't!

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/sep/24/police-arrest-far-right-activist-daniel-thomas-after-dinghy-slashed-channel

He's a violent man. In 2016 Thomas was one of three men jailed after being convicted for his role in the attempted armed kidnapping of a man over a £10,000 drugs dispute on Hayling Island, Hampshire.

Because we can't go round endangering the lives of emergency rescue workers by slashing their boats in a deliberate attempt to sink them every time we are cross with the government. Can we?
