@MatthewKnowlesG @chopsrule Apart from being a business partner of Rishi Sunak’s non-taxpayer billionaire wife and claiming Covid relief for a business he wound down then not paying it back? I guess for the grift to work you need the gullible.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@MatthewKnowlesG A bit odd that you blame Labour, given that they got into power in the seventh month of 2024. Perhaps 14 years of rightwing jingoistic self-harm and hatred of working people by a government in service to the ultra-rich might be more appropriate?

@jackyapping @Number10cat I suppose they could do what Britons have done historically for centuries when the going got tough here and emigrate to 160+ different countries? In the meantime, it’s not just grammar schools where non-natives are excelling. https://t.co/3arF5Frckf

@MarketOfLace @Number10cat Sad losers don’t tend to like a lot of things. It’s a compensation for being absolute failures with sawdust for brains and drivel for opinions. That’s rather self-evident.

@mynewcat @MarkGoodge @SamCKx The ‘demographic tailspin’ is an ageing population and not enough working-age natives being born to pay for their upkeep. Add to that the crisis among native children when it comes to *basic* literacy and numeracy compared to their non-native peers, who are outperforming them.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@JayMaveric57585 @SamCKx Meanwhile, their children are educationally outperforming their native peers in basic literacy and numeracy, who are right at the bottom. You should fall on your knees and thank the ‘nons’ for stopping the brain drain of the UK.

@_wyec @SamCKx ‘Overwhelmingly’? If you add the total percentage of votes for pro- and anti-immigration parties, the largest share has belonged to the former.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@Nial3wuo @Futuremanbrexit True.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@CRFC1872 @silasdenyer @Futuremanbrexit Really, until you learn to wash your backside and not smear your dried fecal matter on your skin and leave it to fester there, perhaps best not to talk about sh*t? 🤢

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@GariaSaid72369 @8nickm @Futuremanbrexit And if the billionaires buy up everything to choke supply and raise demand?

@ManoseZai @RadioGenoa Britain is made up of 73% white Britons.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@CountessMarkie @RadioGenoa Yet a more educated and literate one, it would appear.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@GaryC1m @RadioGenoa And with better educated children, it would appear.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@Finz_burner @RadioGenoa It’s not fretting: it’s rage-farming.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@arun538577 @RadioGenoa They wanted a more educated workforce.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@TinaTinaTinaBur @RadioGenoa $$$

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@EklundElek @RadioGenoa And yet it’s the speakers of those 100+ languages are *still* outperforming the native pupils when it comes to basic English literacy and maths.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@tennisgirlriley @RadioGenoa What about AI mixing?

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@PeterGodwinAmo6 @RadioGenoa You’re confusing political correctness with late-stage capitalism.

[RomanticTextualities @RomText]

@callme_Chari @RadioGenoa Which native tribe do you trace your ancestry to?
