Rise of far right

[Sillyme1]

Any one else worried about the rise of the far right in Europe. Churchill once said ‘those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’. Obviously social conditions are different from the 1930s, but there are similarities such as using immigrants as scapegoats (not Jews this time). Things can so easily escalate and I admit to being worried

you don't think reform would be shouting it from the rooftops if they anything to suggest what you've constructed in your mind excusing/ justifying this appaling attack? shame on you to a) suggest that that happened, and b) suggest that anything would warrent such a response.

Not this inaccurate rhetoric again. If you didn't take the time to listen to him debate in context, maybe you're not best placed to criticise him.

It's the other way round, surely? Moderates are feeling empowered to acknowledge the problems being created by irregular migration, for example. When ever did Labour, the Lib Dems or the Conservatives talk about remigration or bsnning the burka?

Agreed.

90% of children who will be bilingual (if they're not already) by the time they're 6 years old. That's a brilliant cause for celebration. Kids in my daughter's class speak about 10 languages between themselves and it's one of the top performing state primary in England.

Why are we afraid of multi lingual children? Won’t that accelerate our ability to do business with the world?

They are a "British" as every single human on the planet aren't they?

Feel free to link to his speaking about gun control.

Oh right. They are all here as global trade partners are they?

I am worried about it, too.

The problem is evil bastards like Churchill exist everywhere, all the time. And we have never and will never learn from history.

Powerful men will continue to cause problems and we'll all continue to pay the price. Right now it's immigration, before that it was covid conspiracies, and on and on and on.

People are disenfranchised and angry and will look for someone to blame. It's human nature.

Makes some people feel insecure.
I acquired the (hard-earned) skill to speak 3 languages. I wish it hadn't been that painful and envy kids who grow up that way! But, somewhat absurdly I've been on the receiving end of hostility while conducting conversations in a foreign language- maybe it was PP, who knows! It's not a skill that's nearly as valued as it should be in this country.

I have no idea what Reform would do.
I expect that they would be professional and let due process take it's course.
And stop attacking me because I have a different opinion to you and choose to give a different viewpoint that doesn't fit your narrative.

You haven't answered my question. What do you think should happen to them in your ideal world?

The cultural left increasingly shifted from individual equality towards group-based equity with greater emphasis on race, gender, sexuality and identity. So ideas such as “intersectionality, systemic oppression, privilege, decolonization” and DEI has become more influential across universities, media, corporations and public institutions. Speech and disagreement are increasingly framed through concepts of harm, safety and inclusion rather than solely through traditional free-expression principles. Political and social issues are now often interpreted through group power, representation and historical disadvantage rather than individual circumstances alone. Successive governments since around 2010 have increasingly of this belief and Starmer became almost the poster child of oppression/supression.

No-one who says enough to migration is vilifying migrants. But it is perfectly ok to say that there is a limit to migration (legal) and that the state should take action to completely shut down illegal migration, which it has not done. The men on boats are not a hallowed holy class and even by the Home Office’s own admission, not asylum seekers.

Feel free to be more respectful of somebody who was murdered. I know what was said and I know the context in which he spoke about all topics.

Well done you.
I only managed 3 (badly)

They were all wearing black. Come on.

You have made your "offer" abundantly clear through your posts on this thread, and I don't like it.

As a British- born person with two British-born parents, I really don't like having people like you living in this country. You don't subscribe to my values and I feel that your conduct risks causing significant distress to many British citizens. You have already upset me today. Can I ask someone to deport you?

Of course I can't, because you have a right to be here. And so does my dd, as a British citizen. Exactly the same right.

Who the fuck are you to tell her that she isn't welcome here?

Partygate and PPE? People have moved on to current issues. Even Starmer has been in and out as leader since then.

So we're the black panthers when they imitated the military. Did you see that as a problem.?

The entire planet is British. Only brainless pig shit would think otherwise.

I haven't.

Is wearing all black plus face covering always bad? I see it around me in a city.

Still evading.

Oh dear you totally ignored the point about who is extracting resources from our economy…and it’s not migrants …of whatever kind
