To be increasung concerned about Restore Britain.

[NoisyHiker]

I know many people don't like Owen Jones, but I found this article deeply disturbing.

I am a child of immigrants, and my children are mixed race. So things like this are really starting to worry me.

I completely understand why people are angry at the current rate and quality of immigration (my own family are also disgruntled with it). But Restore want to deport even those who have citizenship.

And I am genuinely concerned that things are going to get worse than Farage if the government don't get a grip on this.

There are about 130,000 Somalis living in UK social housing.

Why?

Its 72% of the somali population in the UK, compared with ~16% of the population as a whole.

Is this a benefit to the UK?

Sigh. I know many through them, if you read my posts. I don't have data but neither do you.

Could you provide better data and a bigger sample to support your claim that young Londoners support Restore?

@ElizaMulvil I do not agree with much of what you wrote.
Regarding the duty to take assylum seekers. Yes, but only if we can and it very much looks like we are struggling. The costs of housing them is huge. They do not seem to go through proper mental health and integration programs. It is much better to help them on site (which I get is impossible in the case of Afghanistan). But our foreign aid has been cut to cover for assylum seekers expense. That leaves women and children behind, without been helped. I get it does not apply to all countries. But a better pressure on ending wars abroad is a better option, in my opinion.
The ratio to youth/ elderly is a real issue, but that needs a very controlled immigration process. There is no point of bringing people in that will send their wages abroad, for example. Or exceeding numbers we can cope with.
We do have an issue with youth employment. So we need to first address that too. And revise the problems with the junior doctors, for example. They are complaining that they have the access to further training and promotions due to recruiting of cheaper professionals from abroad.
Skilled and controlled migration are an asset. Of course. But the system has to ensure that compliments and helps the current population.

That’s what I thought too the accidental leak of names was deliberate not an “accident”

I never mentioned anything about London. Believe it or not … there is much more to the UK than bloody London.

I thought Nick Timothy’s figures had been discredited.

That’s 130,000 social housing properties that would suddenly become available for British families under a restore government. And people wonder why they’re getting suppprt.

Yes. I was responding to a pps post about bloody London. Hence why I mentioned bloody London. Despite the fact that there is more to the UK. Do keep up.

Exactly..they know full well,and it's never an accident.they totally know .
So I did start to warm to Kimi b ..but why is she trying to stop this .
Dreadful practice

But where are those people meant to go ,they live here now

Well some of those will be family units (meaning several people in one home)
but you are right thats its still very many available homes for young british people seeking to make a life for themselves / raise a family.

Exactly why?

They shouldn’t be in social housing and definitely not to that extent….

Hopefully that will be resolved, it’s a joke.

The figures have been discredited. Even if they were correct, do you think all those people are occupying one property apiece?

They are Somalis. They are from Somalia. They can go to Somalia.

who would have thought it, a leftie and a rightie agreeing with something - rarely happens in the uk these days.

Evidence?

Even 1 somali in UK social housing is too many.

Somalia

The gravy train has ended

They are not discredited.

The UK welfare system was meant to be a safety net for British citizens, but its become a lifestyle option for the 3rd world.

Agreed.

.

Heh! So the actual figures could be anything from 1 to 130,000! It's irrelevant to Restore voters. Got it.

I don’t understand this. If Restore do not want to pay benefits to those who have ILR then just cancel all benefits and social housing for them. Why do they have to go beyond and also deport them? Makes no sense. If it is the cost of them that is the issue, then address that. But the reality is this country has been benefitting from the hard work of immigrants for centuries. The NHS would collapse without them. Now if they want to pay higher wages to all NHS staff so they can afford their own rent etc, then do that. But there is no need to deport people actually working with no criminal records who are contributing to society. Makes zero economic sense.

They can return to Somalia where they came from.

It’s not our problem. The gravy train is ending.

My eldest is 16, he has recently become interested in politics he asked me what I think so I told him and I urged him to read up on all parties and make his own decision as he’ll be able to vote in the next election.
He came to the conclusion that he doesn’t know who to vote for he doesn’t like Restore/reform or greens and wasn’t particularly impressed by Torys/Labour. He said his friends are a mixture of Green and Labour.
I don’t think we can shoe horn all young people into either Reform or Green etc.

I also think some teenagers will be influenced by family/friends and of course whats on social media but I imagine as they get older who they vote for as a young adult will change.

He is very astute and sees very clearly.

I like it when he directly address young british men in their teens and 20s, setting out in life. The "lads" as he calls them.

In past times, 1000s of these guys would have gone into the army, or down pits, or into shipyards and steelworks etc.

But all this is gone now. And they cant access the apprenticeships and internships etc which are open to everyone except white men. Or jobs which are divvied up on the basis of equity instead of merit.

He rightly senses their frustration and sense of hopelessness. He rightly identifies them as a massive vote bank. He obviously care about them and offers them a voice - no one else will.
