To find it shocking how brazen people are with their hatred of refugees?

[GreenFairy93]

Another day, another Facebook post calling for the army to be bought in to stop the boats. Another comment section full of people shouting "sink the boats!" "Use as much force as necessary to stop them!"

There are women and children on these boats and people are brazenly calling for force to be used against them and for them to be sunk, with pictures of their faces next to their comments. Not an ounce of shame. And there's hundreds of them.

I just find it absolutely abhorrent and honestly, really upsetting that so many people have dehumanised asylum seekers to the point they have absolutely no compassion in their hearts to the point they are publicly calling for harm to come to families fleeing war.

AIBU to be shocked that people think this is ok now?

The Specials recorded a song called..Why
Over 45 years ago how sad it still resonates today.
We don't need no National Front
British movement
Or the Ku Klux klan
It makes me an angry man
You're proud of your white skin
I'm proud of my black
I just want to live in peace
Why can't you be the same
With a Nazi salute and a steel cap boot
You follow like sheep in a wolves clothes.. etc.
The organisations names change but depressingly..the message is always the same.

Or maybe those ‘white British’ just arent willing to do it at the rates that employers are willing to offer because they know they can find someone just a little more desperate who will do it for less and, bonus, with less experience or expectations of pesky things like labour rights.

Nothing like flooding the labour market to keep wages down.

You literally wrote; " smallpinecone · Today 19:26
Why are you directing this at me?
I don’t feel poverty or discomfort."

Are you not referring to yourself when you say "I don't feel" my apologies if not it's just that 'I' is used as 'first person' pronoun in the English language.

Why are you personally attacking me?

So why then are public sector roles such in care, health and transport, where equitable wage rates and labour rights are strictly enforced, suffering labour shortages every bit as much as the private sector, when they would be legally required to pay the 'white British' the same as everyone else?

Do you agree with Trade unions then as they are traditionally aligned with the Labour party and I can see your not a fan?

We seemed to have roughly enough cleaners and porters before the boats. Per capita GDP has decreased as net migration has increased; the country is not getting wealthier because of migrants.

Eh?

Just because somebody doesnt feel poverty, doesnt make them wealthy. There are plenty of shades in between.

Do you agree with Trade Unions?

Still not seeing it. Going to need to elaborate a bit more here I’m afraid.

Why do you think it’s relevant to anything whether I’m personally in poverty or not? 🤨

Thank you.

Obviously this small boat thing has to stop if only because it's so dangerous and the simple solution is to have a processing centre in France. So if someone does arrive on a boat they are returned to France for processing and the outcome is decided there, but for me I hate the vile rhetoric that has been normalised and I worry that this is just going to get worse, when the asylum seekers are dealt with they will move onto other immigrants and then people of colour and so on, those people that follow the likes of Tommy Robinson just hate, they know that immigration isn't the problem they claim it is but this rage allows them to spout their hatred, I really don't like the direction we're heading

You can yawn all you like, but you're so desperate to protect it and yet you can't even define it.

How can I define something that others are so keen to pretend doesn’t even exist?

Have you worked in care? Quite a lot of it isn’t public sector for a start.

I want to know what it is that people feel is under threat. People bang on about British culture but they can't actually define it. They're just throwing it out as a soundbite. What precisely is it are we going to lose if we help refugees?

That depends where you live. In some places care is all public sector.

Yes but the shades of grey are not considered at all by that poster, they are living in comfort but they are obviously not one of the many stereotype listed

I'm asking you how you define it? You're the one who said it's under threat. It should be a simple question?

Well they can't do that, because of Brexit.

It's a vehicle the extreme right have used for decades only now their reach is much more than before with social media.
Before it was newspaper sales, leaflets, stickers to put the message out.
The name's change but the message is always the same.

It's like British 'values', as if ours are naturally superior to others - sounds good, means nothing.

Like where?
