Disgraceful, divisive hate speech. This is a perfect example of how to keep racism alive in the UK.

Scotland is hardly impacted by mass immigration because the vast majority of migrants head for London and the south east of England. This is why the Scots are generally more pro-immigration. Scotland has a tiny population for it's size, so they are more likely to encourage migration. England is (relatively) crowded. Add this to the fact Yousaf is Muslim and most illegal migrants are young Muslim males, then it's no surprise he's going to speak negatively about any push back against migration.

"It does make a difference if the animal is trained since birth to respect and be calm, around people and other animals." Would you leave your kids/grandkids alone in a house for a week with one of these Pit Bulls that has been trained from birth to respect and be kind? "If cats were bigger, they would do a lot of damage like their cousins the leopards, lions and tigers." That's precisely the point, and is the reason why lions and tigers are not pets. Animals capable of easily killing humans (e.g. Lions, Pit Bulls etc.) should not be pets.

When Thailand legalised weed shops it became a magnet to the world's undesirables. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with smoking a joint. It's about the impression it gives the outside world. There will be more drugs and fighting stories, because more druggies and trouble makers are now choosing Thailand.

The sooner they reverse the cannabis laws and get rid of all the weed shops the better. Thailand will continue to attract the 'anything goes' crowd until this happens. Weed shops selling other illegal drugs? Who'd have expected that to happen! 🤦‍♂️

He's the US version of Gary Lineker. These champagne socialists can't help themselves. They truly believe everybody MUST agree with their opinions. Delusional. Shame, because his antics are putting me off watching his movies. How can anyone believe in his 'tough guy' characters now he's revealed himself as a wet lettuce leftie.

Funny how Germany, France, Italy etc. are in a worse economic position than the UK. Did they also Brexit?

Both valid concerns. With the Uber drivers it's irritating and time consuming when they go the wrong way, and you can't have a proper conversation with them about it. With NHS workers it's much more serious. There are enough mistakes made in our NHS putting patient health / lives at risk. A language barrier increases the risk of mistakes even further. That's just common sense.

He's a conviction politician. He's always been passionate on these issues. He doesn't change his views to garner votes like most politicians do. In fact I'd say he doesn't care what other people think of him! You may not agree with his views, but you can't accuse him of saying these things to garner votes.

It does matter. The public are concerned about hundreds of undocumented young males arriving on boats every day, costing the tax payer £8 million per day just for the hotel accommodation, abusing the UKs extremely generous asylum system. These men are not being sent back to where they came from. Voluntary returns, and sending back some Brazilian overstayers is not going to address these concerns. Labour are massaging the facts, and going for easy wins.

Article 8 of the The ECHR has been repeatedly used by lawyers to stop foreign criminals from being deported. The ECHR stopped the 1st flight to Rwanda from leaving the runway. The public are becoming more aware of the way the ECHR is used to stop deportations. But you're right, a big chunk of the population don't know much about it. Your points about public concerns: the economy - cost of keeping asylum seekers in the UK is now huge (£8 million per day just on hotels) the NHS - more immigration = more use of overstretched NHS services crime i.e. whether they feel safe - nobody knows the background of the thousands of asylum seekers free to roam UK streets from their hotels. In my local city there are regular reports of kids being scared by groups of asylum seekers gathering near schools. They're all interlinked.

I think a commitment to leaving the ECHR (UK already has it's own Human Rights Act), and a robust plan to deter the small boat Channel crossings would put the Tories back on top. It's as simple as that IMO. Every member of the public I saw being interviewed after these elections talked about stopping the boats. The Tories couldn't stop the boats, and that's why they were crushed at the last GE. Labour are even worse, with illegal migrants breaking all Channel crossing records! It's so obvious this is THE issue holding the key to power in the UK. And that's why Reform will continue their rise unless the Tories change course on illegal migration.

It was intended to help address the shortage of housing for UK citizens and reduce homelessness. Not to house thousands of young male chancers turning up on small boats. And Labour are in government now. They decide if Tory initiatives stay or go. These election results will give Reform a louder voice regarding all these incentives for thousands of young men to cross the channel every year.

They can't do much worse than Labour. Landlords are being incentivised to evict private tenants (under section 21) to make way for illegal immigrants. No wonder the boats keep on coming. Landlords offered five-year full rent deals to house asylum seekers https://landlordknowledge.co.uk/landlords-offered-five-year-full-rent-deals-to-house-asylum-seekers/

Irrelevant for two reasons. Firstly, Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs specifically target non-Muslim girls, whites, Hindus, Sikhs. So their's is a hate crime on top of the grooming and rapes etc. That makes it even more revolting. That they feel the indigenous English girls and girls of other religions are worthless and disposable. Also you forget the population is still (for now) majority white. There are only around 500,000 Pakistani men living in the UK. For a fairer representation you would need to see the ratio of Pakistani Muslim men who are in grooming gangs versus the ratio of white men in grooming gangs.

The only way Reform will be beaten is if Labour manage to stop the hundreds of fighting age men from landing on UK beaches every day, and send back the thousands who already arrived. All Labour have done so far is encourage more to come. As soon as they ripped up the Rawanda plan the migrants started coming in even higher numbers, breaking all records. Labour (and Tories) have been too soft on the economic migrants, allowing the ECHR to block deportations, even for convicted criminals including rapists. There is no deterrent, and on the contrary the fake asylum seekers get treated like holidaymakers. It's a massive incentive for economic migrants. If this continues then I truly believe Reform will win the next election.

France, Germany and Italy have worse growth forecasts than the UK. Is that because they stayed in the EU?

Cross dressing has always been a real thing. So has bondage, but there's no campaigning for gimp masks to become more accepted.

You might want to read it again: "a deeply hostile climate for Jewish and Israeli students on its campus, both before and after the October 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel"

All of whom are fortunate enough to have had the means to travel to a far away exotic country to visit or retire. Your average Thai living in Isaan could only dream about that. It's all relative.

I know mine is not a popular opinion in here, but I quite like the fact that Thai's (the majority of whom are much poorer than your average tourist) can spend time in the beautiful national parks in their own country for free / less. And the upkeep of these areas is funded by (relatively) rich tourists and ex-pats. The poor in Thailand don't get many breaks. I don't begrudge them this one.

100% disagree. Legalising cannabis sent out a message to low-lifes that Thailand is a place where anything goes. So more low-lifes are now heading for Thailand. That's the point you're missing. As the article said: "Some feel the cannabis culture is attracting a different type of tourist, altering the country’s traditional charm"

If Palestinians had the military capabilities, Israel would've been wiped off the map long ago. You only pity Hamas / Palestinians because their military mite amounts to hanging from Jeeps waving guns around. I dread to think what the world would be like if Palestinians had real military power.

How can any trans women have any pride competing against real women? Marathons are broken down into categories, e.g. age, gender etc. etc. If the trans woman finishes high up in the women's category they've achieved absolutely nothing! Shameful.

I don't think it does, but then Amsterdam isn't in a tropical climate where these types can roam around shirtless in flip flops all night, plus Amsterdam nightlife is nowhere near as hedonistic. For a start the brasses are all behind shop windows.
