@oldcatfartboss Who has said hatred/prejudice are acceptable?Who has said all immigrants are bad/benefit cheats? Automatically assigning these views to people makes the conversation bad faith&reveals your own prejudice.Wanting immigration policy to serve the interests of the host country is ok
@oldcatfartboss it’s ironic, but U come across as a prejudiced.People should be free to have these conversations without fear of being labelled or name-called.That kind of approach can intimidate people & shut down legitimate discussion.U stereotype people because you don't share there concerns
@oldcatfartboss Agreed , Fiscal contributions matter, but immigration is about more than economics: social cohesion and culture matter too. It’s fair to expect immigration to add value, not undermine established society. Calling such debate “hatred ” risks shutting down legitimate discussion
@oldcatfartboss The point you’re missing is that expecting an immigration policy that benefits the UK isn’t xenophobia or hatred. It’s reasonable to expect those granted the privilege of living here to contribute, respect our laws, & uphold the responsibilities that come with that opportunity.
@oldcatfartboss You fail to address the point,again you refer to reform! Why? You presume bad intention because it avoids conversation. You describe 12b as small because it avoids the conversation. is any conversation around the net fiscal contribution of our current immigration system allowed
@oldcatfartboss Honestly, I struggle to understand your point or its relevance. discussion is whether the £12bn figure is relevant to migrants’ net fiscal contribution— not “hate speech”. Surely, most people agree migration policy should ultimately benefit the host country &not be detrimental
@oldcatfartboss Who mentioned Reform? Calling discussion of official figures “xenophobic” is deflection, not argument. These figures are plainly relevant to any evidence-based discussion of migrants’ net fiscal contribution. Dismissing that relevance avoids the substance.
@mickmcSNB I Don't presume to know what support he has or hasn't received but it is a reminder to us all, the club, the fans, these young boys need our support through the good and the bad - dibling is another example , we want these players to buy into what Everton stands for, passion!
@JackWDart Jack, day after day, undocumented men make illegal crossings into the UK. We don’t fully know the risks they pose, and even if you believe those risks are small, they remain. Yet your concern seems to be that a dinghy was damaged. I genuinely don’t understand this-please explain
@KayBurley sorry to point out the obvious but that boat will now not be used again to transport illegal migrants entering the UK. it's easily replaced but let them replace it.Why would your focus be on this&not why the dingy appeared to have been transported with help of French rescue boats
@oldcatfartboss Your issue seems less with the data than the description.Calling a family with at least one immigrant an “immigrant family”is hardly the point, slightly pedantic.Why is discussion of the figures xenophobic it’s relevant to ask whether migration is net fiscal contribution or cost.
@LiamT30EFC Couldn't agree more, it's a kindly reminder tat footballers are not machines , they are fathers, sons, brothers , human. This lad needs to feel the support/love of the fans because he will give you his all
@oldcatfartboss@narindertweets@Wrightyswinning The data originates directly from official Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) statistics released under Freedom of Information laws, and the resulting figures have been widely reported across major UK national media outlets- what information do you have that questions this
@JackWDart Undocumented men cross our borders illegally almost daily—yet you say the system works. Do you accept some may pose a risk? If so, what level is acceptable,& how many women & children must we sacrifice to satisfy the need of a few people,to virtue signal and feel morally superior
@donmcgowan Suella,a woman of colour from an immigrant Family, affirms her Asian heritage & British identity while recognising English is an ethnicity. Progressives demand we “listen to lived experience” until it challenges their narrative. Then she’s “insane” & “ethno-nationalist.”
@Bbmorg deflection,deflection -desperate tactic, point isn’t whether asylum seekers“look scary”;it’s whether placing a migrant hotel by children’s parks creates safeguarding risks that should be openly discussed. Compassion & pragmatism can coexist.Risk should be assessed,not dismissed
@MatthewStadlen Why is it, when you see this headline you believe our only option is immigration - what has happened to training our own nurses? And why couldn't training methods be updated so that it's less class room based on more training on the job, how it always use to work in days gone by
