@spidrehombre@MarcusMacBride Do you actually think you come across as clever by calling someone with an eye defect, and thus unsurprisingly wearing glasses, “speccy”? How old are you? 12?
At the very least I have the elementary courage to have my posts signed with my real name and face, anonymous coward.
Burnham likes to paint himself as an outsider, but he's never had a real job and has spent his entire working life in politics. He's the epitome of the Westminster bollard class. He has no useful experience to draw upon and his premiership will be a bigger binfire than Starmer's.
@spidrehombre@MarcusMacBride Moron, I exhausted the standard 280 chars there to the last one. If I could, I would've put a hyphen after the “50s”. An intelligent person knows well what kind of a demographic I had in mind. If you don't believe my story, you're welcome to carry on with your life aka fuck off.
@spidrehombre@MarcusMacBride You're right, I write for intelligent people.
And save this language for your mum and dad, seeing that's how they taught you to speak.
@spidrehombre@MarcusMacBride Imagine the pub crowd didn't all come on the same ferry in the same year. Imagine that.
Anyway, I meant from the 1950s onwards.
@RichardJGrant@MarcusMacBride No, I didn’t express myself precisely. I meant the 50s– onwards, as in the people that came to England after the Second World War. That is, not someone with merely an Irish grandmother from the beginning of the century, but, yet, someone who’s lived here at least a few decades.
@latte_elitist@Setanta62@MarcusMacBride I put a comma there. As in gangs (such as the Sunshine Gang in North West London) AND the IRA. I enumerated distinct things.
I said they were a picnic compared to what the Muslims and Africans have been doing ever since. COMPARED to.
Seriously…
The likely next president of France, Jordan Bardella visited Poland’s border wall with Belarus today and condemned Russia’s multidimensional hybrid war against Europe.
He said that the EU must legalize “pushbacks” of illegal migrants trying to storm Europe’s borders.
This is a press release from the Danish government. For those unfamiliar with Danish politics, the Danish government is a coalition government. It is led - I almost wrote: as always - by Social Democrat Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
The press release is in Danish. I am sure you can find a translation tool that will read it for you.
But the headline reads: "Denmark and a majority of EU countries push for return hubs and reception centres outside Europe."
I come from a Danish opposition party. But now I am going to do something rather unusual. It is in the service of a higher cause.
The truth that the centre-left and left in the European Parliament cannot bear to hear - and instead label racist - is one that the Danish Social Democrats have understood. That is why they are Europe's most sensible Social Democrats. Nobody else even comes close.
The Danish Social Democrats have understood that the welfare state breaks down if a country accepts uncontrolled or near-uncontrolled immigration. They have understood that we are not merely talking about economic collapse. We are also talking about the breakdown of the social contract.
Why, ask the Danish Social Democrats, should people who have worked and paid taxes all their lives accept that people who arrived the day before yesterday can immediately draw on all the benefits that we have collectively insured ourselves against? No normal person can understand that - and nor should they be expected to.
The Danish Social Democrats also know - and vote accordingly - that it is immigrants who have a duty to integrate themselves (and preferably assimilate). They dare to say it out loud: we do not need "counter-citizens". We need fellow citizens.
And the Danish Social Democrats also dare to say openly that it is a major problem that the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating society. And that there are too few moderate Muslims willing to speak out against it (although, fortunately, they do exist).
My three Social Democratic colleagues in the European Parliament are among the very few normal people in Crazyville.
To all the social liberals, socialists, communists and Islamists on the Left who have cried themselves to sleep every night since we voted for the Return Regulation, I say this:
Be more like the Danish Social Democrats.
They are working for socially, economically and politically sustainable countries.
The rest of you are working for the opposite.
🚨NEWS: One of the worst rape gang ringleaders, described as one of Britain's most dangerous men, is set to be released from prison under Labour's early release scheme having served just 10 years of his 35 year sentence
[@DailyMail ]
Next week we will be ordered to “celebrate” Windrush Day. Later this summer taxpayers will be on the hook for the festival of thuggery known as the Notting Hill Carnival.
Why do we tolerate this social engineering?
My latest Friday monologue.
Just to make it clear because people keep thinking that my abusers are just getting their sentences reduced to half way when they are not... my abusers were convicted of multiple rapes and sentenced to between 16 and 20 years, EACH. That was reduced to 50% last year, it is now being assessed to be reduced to 33%.... meaning if they are accepted, they will get out this year after serving just 7 YEARS out of their 16 to 20 year sentences.....
For those outside the UK, this attitude is why nothing has been done about the rape gangs. Most of the middle class simply don’t care. Some even sneer at the victims and anyone who wants to actually stop the rapes.
"In a dying civilization, political prestige is the reward not of the shrewdest diagnostician, but of the man with the best bedside manner. It is the decoration conferred on mediocrity by ignorance."
Don't want to come across as a trad "you must dress formally whenever in public" guy but this is has been such a rapid & aesthetically displeasing development. Skinnyfat guys in worn out t shirts, women in totally formless & genderless oversized hoodies and trousers. Awful stuff.
If they have any sense of self-preservation, the royal family should fire whoever runs their social media accounts before their tone-deaf posts turn the British people against the royal family any further.
