@GBNEWS So are people who enter through legal channels automatically trustworthy? Spies can enter on perfectly valid visas. These two were caught and convicted. The issue is identifying security threats, not pretending that how someone crosses a border tells you whether they're a spy.

@stevenl90277321 @reformparty_uk Great! Care to tell us which point from the speeches you found most compelling?

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@EstherMcVey1 BBC journalists don't criticise Andy Burnham? Really? Chris Mason questioned his handling of the Man City controversy, Laura Kuenssberg scrutinised his leadership credentials, and Matt Chorley investigated his support among Labour MPs. Facts are inconvenient, aren't they? 😂

@reformparty_uk If you believe this nonsense, I have a bridge for sale. 😂🤣

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat Troll back under your bridge

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat We've reached the insults stage! 😂 Still no evidence, I see. Amazing how quickly your confidence evaporates when someone asks you to prove your claims. All mouth, no facts.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@reformparty_uk Oh, the hypocrisy! 😂 Reform rails against state intervention until Poundland is in trouble. Suddenly, politicians must pull every lever to save jobs and keep people off benefits. So government intervention is bad until Reform demands it? Principles of convenience!

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat So you don't care if you're prejudiced, admit your opinion means nothing, yet insist that millions of British Muslims hate Britain. Brilliant! 😂 Now produce your evidence. Actual evidence, not your prejudices dressed up as facts.

@GBNEWS It takes minutes to find the email addresses of schools and then less time to write an email threat. They will use a VPN to hide where the mail comes from. Welcome to the internet.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat You're openly declaring that millions of British citizens aren't British simply because they're Muslim. That's religious prejudice, plain and simple. You have no evidence they all hate Britain, just your own bigotry. Your personal hatred doesn't determine anyone's nationality.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@GBNEWS Miliband interviewed Russell Brand. Thatcher repeatedly pushed for Jimmy Savile's knighthood despite advisers' warnings, and the Queen awarded it in 1990. Neither association proves knowledge of abuse.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat You're denying that British citizens can be Muslim because you dislike their religion. Repeating nonsense won't make millions of people disappear. Stamp your feet and shout at the clouds all you like. They'll still be British. 😂

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@Tchinga17 @ldthomson56 @BasilTheGreat You've gone from denying British nationality to deciding who deserves it based on ethnicity. China has citizens of different ethnicities too, so even your example fails. You're not defending English identity. You're demanding racial purity and calling it patriotism.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@Tchinga17 @ldthomson56 @BasilTheGreat 😂 You're confusing ethnicity with nationality. British citizenship doesn't change ancestry, nor is British nationality reserved for ethnic English people. Calling fellow citizens "foreign invaders" isn't an argument. It's prejudice dressed up as patriotism.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@alexwickham @MishalHusain Cameron claims Brexit hasn't harmed our economy. The OBR estimates it will leave productivity 4% lower and trade 15% lower than if we'd stayed in the EU. Respecting the 2016 vote doesn't mean ignoring the economic consequences.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@AltMhor @BasilTheGreat The irony is that you're using a Gaelic name while claiming the authority to decide who is British. British Muslims exist, whether you like it or not. You don't get to erase someone's nationality because you dislike their religion. That's prejudice, not patriotism.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@Tchinga17 @ldthomson56 @BasilTheGreat 😂 British nationality is literally defined in law. The British Nationality Act 1981 might come as a shock to you. Being Muslim doesn't make someone less British. You're confusing nationality with ancestry, then calling everyone who understands the law a traitor. Brilliant!

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@CJRVEE @BasilTheGreat 2/2 You demand merit-based recruitment, then propose removing people based on ancestry, even if they're British-born. That's discrimination, not merit. You claim to defend British values while demanding we abandon equality before the law. Quite a contradiction.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@CJRVEE @BasilTheGreat 1/2 The Equality Act 2010 doesn't exclude British people or favour foreigners. It protects everyone, including white people and Christians, from discrimination. Civil Service jobs have nationality rules. Your entire argument starts with a false premise.

[John Rushforth @JohnRushforth1]

@ALee58422813 @BasilTheGreat Mass DNA testing? 😂 DNA doesn't determine citizenship or religion. You've gone from rewriting British nationality law to inventing your own genetics. That's not science; it's ignorance dressed up as an argument.
