Disgraced Prince Andrew heckled at Queen Elizabeth’s funeral procession

When have I object to peaceful protests? -

I support freedom where it is not using/promoting hate or deliberately spreading harmful lies and misinformation. But you have a difference of opinion that does not involve harm to others, I’ll gladly debate it, as I often do. That aside the current government has enacted laws and is moving to enact more laws that severely restrict the right to protest and freedom of expression. That’s a threat that is currently underway. -

I feel your pain bro. I really do. -

That’s a very strange line of argument. Andrew is credibly accused of sex crimes. Criticizing him for this is not the same thing as abusing people over their gender. Andrew has a recourse, he can claim slander and go to court, though the ‘discovery’ process might dissuade him. That aside, this rightwing government has made and is making multiple assaults on the right to protest. It is a rightwing government that is criminalizing protest. -
Enoch Powell, he wasnt wrong in his forecast !

I’m a fan of London’s Black cabs, they are the only taxi service I use in when I’m London. They are are more expensive but I refuse to engage with the gig-economy, a fair price to give a working man a decent income is to me a price worth paying. I did however learn very early on not to engage the drivers of London’s Black Cabs in conversation, they are renowned for their bigoted rants. Of course that might be a gross negative generalization which we don’t do around here. -

I think this is something you should take up with the people who promised to do something about it. Addressing your concerns to the people who told you at the time you were being lied to seems very odd. -
What? So every report of a murder should include references to every other murder for ‘balance’? The report is factual, the Q- nonsense the murderer had bought into us not, his wife and family paid the price.

UK Pensions and related info
Chomper Higgot replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I wonder if they are using a different definition of ‘Ordinary Resident’ than are HMRC? Anyone receiving a UK private/company pension, holding life insurance, banking in the UK etc will have great difficulty convincing HMRC they are not ‘normally resident’. However, unless you gain significant tax benefits for not being ordinary resident, remaining ‘ordinary resident’ may have its advantages. The Government have on a number of occasions hinted the tax free allowance may be removed for non residents. As the tax free allowances rises, this could be a significant financial issue for many. -

If he won’t face Justice what right does he have to public respect? -
Sad news. RIP to his wife and best wishes for a swift and full recovery to his child he injured. This is just one extreme example of how Q-addicts lose the plot and destroy relationships around them. There are countless families dealing with family members addicted to Q-Anon and other rightwing lies and fantasy. Mass psychosis at work.

Yes a lot has happened. The UK has transformed from a predominantly white nation ( I won’t say anglo Saxon because that would dismiss the Scott’s, Irish, Welsh and existing immigrants who have always need a part of British society) into a multi cultural society. A large part of that change has occurred after you left. All this has occurred without ‘civil war’ and without any ‘wielding of the whip hand’. The foods better, the musics better, the sports better and there’s some strikingly good looking mixed race people about. Millions of immigrants living peaceably, obeying the law, striving for a better life for themselves and their families, paying their taxes, contributing to the betterment of the nation. And their kids! Their kids doing fantastically in school, college and university and moving into the professions, starting new businesses, providing the highly educated staff British businesses need. Motivated and driven as so often immigrants are. You should go visit sometime, it’s wonderful to see. -

The vast majority of immigrants in the UK live peaceably, so obey the law, work hard, paying their taxes, their kids are outpacing white British kids in schools and universities, they are doing well in business and doing well in the jobs they work. They are the new, Britons, integrated and doing very well for themselves and the nation. -

I’m not interest in your ripped videos, as I have explained, I have recent first hand experience of being in the UK, seeing the place directly with my own eyes. Does it even occur to you that just as you want to select videos for me, to inform me of what you want me to see, somebody already selected and edited those videos then provided them to you, to manipulate what they want you to see? Visiting the UK personally cuts out the middle man, gives the opportunity to see reality rather than selected and edited images that are not in anyway representative of the peaceable, law abiding lives millions of immigrants in the UK actually live. No ‘civil war’, no ‘wielding the whip hand’. You should make a visit yourself, catch up on face to face reality. -

A text book example of grossly exaggerated negatively stereotyping millions of immigrants, and all in you very own words. Oh and you managed to drag the death of Queen Elizabeth in too. -

Nonsense. WW2 is a historical fact. Powell’s ‘Civil war’ and ‘wielding the whip hand’ never happened. The vast majority, by millions, of immigrants in the UK live peaceably, obey the laws, strive for a better life for them and their families, contribute to the betterment of the nation. If of course you don’t get to look around the UK and witness that, you could sit in front of a computer screen at the other side of the world and watch videos of the tiny minority of immigrants who engage in violence, law breaking and the even smaller number who engage in terrorism. A rational person would look at the relative numbers, see the millions of peaceful law abiding immigrants and not claim the tiny minority to be representative of the whole. I do though accept, if your only view is through videos someone else fed you, then you might develop a biased view that in no way reflects the overwhelming reality. Go to the UK, look for yourself, you might just be pleasantly surprised. -

On the basis of the millions of peaceable, hard working, law abiding, contributing immigrants Powell’s predictions were very wide of the reality of the UK today. The vast majority are not committing crimes, the huge vast majority are not terrorists. There is no ‘civil war’, nobody is ‘wielding the whip hand’. -

I’m suggesting you check what the law says before participating in broad generalized derogatory remarks about people. I wouldn’t want you to make a fool of yourself. -

I wouldn’t recommend that as a defense in an English court of law. Or least doing some reading on the matter first. -

Now you are back to funding of public services and of course blaming immigrants Over twelve years ago the Tory government came to power promising to do something about immigration. They’ve done nothing that can be considered anywhere near effective. The complaint you make here was made then, and yet here we are over twelve years later, nothing done about immigration and nothing done about providing funding to meet the population needs. 12 years of failure. So let’s do an Enoch Powell and blame the immigrants. -

It’s always (insert racial group in derogatory context). There’s a name for that. -

Yes, I am referring to numbers. Millions of immigrants living peaceably in the UK, obeying the law, striving for a better life for themselves and their families and contributing to the betterment of the nation. I’m not replying on ripped videos fed to me by somebody who wants me to see a very narrow view of the actions of a tiny minority, and certainly not from someone with zero recent experience of life in the UK. Numbers matter, and when the numbers are millions of good, honest, law abiding people versus a tiny minority, I’ll go with the millions. Especially given that the millions of hard working immigrants are raising children who are doing fantastically in school, college and university, moving into and up through the professions. New Britons, studious, hard working, entrepreneurial, law abiding and contributing to the betterment of the UK. Away with you and your ripped videos. Somebody chose them for you to see, I have no desire for you to select my viewing material. I much prefer direct observation by visiting the UK. -

Nonsense. People from all backgrounds in the UK are mourning and paying respect to Queen Elizabeth 2, regardless of age, class, race, religion, place of birth. One black man running away from the police and calling them racist is not a detraction from the grief of the nation and it is certainly not a interruption of anything by the ‘Black Community’. Your post is, however, a perfect example of blaming a whole racial community for the actions and words of one individual. There’s a word for that.
