@BenJoRS2017@BritishBastardX@Paulw45CdoRM The reality is that many migrants do jobs that are difficult to for and keep parts of the economy running.
Slogans are easy. Replacing millions of workers isn’t.
@BenJoRS2017@BritishBastardX@Paulw45CdoRM If all migrants disappeared tomorrow, who would fill the labour shortages in agriculture, care homes, hospitality, cleaning, delivery services, construction, and many other sectors?
@BenJoRS2017@BritishBastardX@Paulw45CdoRM Millions must go.
Okay. Which millions?
The taxpayers? The NHS workers? The legal residents? The spouses of British citizens? The parents of British children?
Be specific.
@right_far_right@BritishBastardX Not everyone without British citizenship is a burden.
Many workpay taxes,run businesses,marry British citizens and raise British children.If your answer is to remove all of themregardless, then you’re not solving a problemyou’re punishing people who havecontributed to the country
@BritishBastardX If it’s wrong to tell British people abroad that they don’t belong, then it’s also wrong to tell people who legally live in Britain, contribute to society, and are British citizens that they should be removed or sent away.
The same standard should apply to everyone
@BritishBastardX Nobody seriously argues that British citizens living legally in those countries should simply be told to go home because of their nationality or background.
@BritishBastardX Britain spent centuries colonising and settling in other parts of the https://t.co/XUOBGO6yUw, millions of British people live abroad in Europe, Australia,North America, and elsewhere.
@BritishBastardX Migrants and their descendants have helped build modern Britain.They work in the NHS, run businesses, pay taxes, serve in the military, and contribute to the economy. Britain’s success today is the result of contributions from people of many different backgrounds.
@BritishBastardX You have every right to support stricter immigration policies. What you don’t have the right to do is decide that millions of people are somehow less British because they don’t fit your preferred image of what Britain should look like.
@BritishBastardX You say you don’t care whether someone is Sikh,Hindu,Muslim,or Jewish,yet you talk about demographic replacement and tell people to go home.For many of those people,Britain is their home. They were born here,work here,pay taxes here,and contribute to society just like anyone else
@Joseph_P_S@Michelle__L_7@hash765 In that photo which one you sent it it’s showing..trade agreements explain how it started, not how it expanded. Conquest, political interference, and military force were also major parts of British rule in India.
@Joseph_P_S@Michelle__L_7@hash765 The abolition of the slave trade was important, but it doesn’t erase the harms caused by colonialism. History is more complex than calling it ..the best thing to happen to the world.
@Joseph_P_S@Michelle__L_7@hash765 That’s a very one sided view of history. The British Empire contributed to global trade, industry, and institutions, but it also involved conquest, exploitation, famines, and the subjugation of millions of people.
