    There are things that are in the purview of Government, collecting taxes and allocating public spending budgets are two such things.

    Where did I state Powell’s discussion of negros and immigration made him a racist? Please provide a direct quote of me stating that, or retract your assertion as unfounded.
  3. Chomper Higgot
    Surely that’s a matter of Government not allocating resources in accordance with population? They are after all collecting more taxes on the increased economic activity. Or is it a matter of the Government failing on multiple fronts so let’s start blaming immigrants? Afterall, they’ve been in power for twelve years and, despite lots of promises and a great deal of noise, haven’t sorted this out yet.

    I did answer. If you need English tuition look elsewhere.
  5. Chomper Higgot
    The definition of Racist is already in the dictionary. An example of Powell’s racist arguments has already been given. Refer dictionary and posts in this thread. (Or do you need definitions of ‘refer’, dictionary’, ‘thread’?).
  6. Chomper Higgot
    Another strawman argument
  7. Chomper Higgot
    You are not the subject of this thread.
  8. Chomper Higgot
    It hasn’t taken long for this topic to descend into racism, xenophobia and of course Islamophobia.

    One of the cops spots they are being filmed and points at the camera. I wondered if at that moment he realized what’s now coming his way?
  10. Chomper Higgot
    Once again, produce a post where I have stated I want to let all into the UK? Or don’t you even care what you make up and post about others?
  11. Chomper Higgot
    The Venn diagram of those defending/admiring Powell and those ranting against immigrants in threads through this forum is a perfect circle. Who’d have guessed it?!
  12. Chomper Higgot
    Racist attacks by are a fact of British history. The absence of US styled race segregation does not change that historical fact. You are simply engaging in strawman whataboutary.
  13. Chomper Higgot
    Words have consequences. The words of Racist Powell had consequences. He was and remains defended and admired by racist. Perhaps you’d like to forget the race attacks that were a part of British crime throughout the 60s and 70s.
  14. Chomper Higgot
    Present a post where I have stated I want all taken in? Or admit you are making stuff up. I suggest you direct your ire at those that made false promises and raised false expectations and leave those of us who told you at the time you were being lied to alone.
  15. Chomper Higgot
    Excellent news.
  16. Chomper Higgot
    In many respect the current Government is trying to do just that.
  17. Chomper Higgot
    Go back to the top of the thread, you’ll find the topic under discussion clearly displayed. I’ve also explained earlier how the Racist Powell was making his remarks at a time when the substantial immigration of the time was from the Caribbean and that many of those immigrants were invited to the UK to work in the NHS. There is a thread open on cross channel migration, you’re xenophobia is on sufficient display there.

    ‘Patriot’ is an English word and is often used in the UK, especially by the nativist rightwing. It’s the flip side of your own frequent accusations of others being ‘Anti-Brit Brit’, regardless of the flaws of that accusation. And no I’m not going to link to a British extreme rightwing group using the term ‘Patriot’.
  19. Chomper Higgot
    Not as a patient no, but I spent a great deal of time this summer on daily visits to someone in hospitals, more than one because they moved twice to different NHS hospitals. So tell me, what did I miss?
  20. Chomper Higgot
    More to do with rapid waistline growth and the ‘Baby Boom’ generation (the clue is in the name) getting old. Young immigrants don’t tend to use the health service until they are old and many do not stay that long.
  21. Chomper Higgot
    It’s worse than that. Powell had the education, the intellect and the military experience to understand precisely how wrong and how dangerous the racist views he was expressing were. He was a horrible despicable man. The fact that by education, intellect and experience he had to understand how wrong and dangerous were his words only makes him even worse.
  22. Chomper Higgot
    Let’s just take one single point from your stream of Ill-informed contribution. The UK’s NHS would collapse tomorrow if not for the tens of thousands of immigrants working to prop it up.
  23. Chomper Higgot
    Well yes, I don’t feel the need to defend Powell, his views or those who admire him and his views.
  24. Chomper Higgot
    I draw the line at calling anyone here in this discussion a racist, unless of course they, like the racist Powell overtly express racist views. I do however observe that Powell is admired and defended by many racists. There’s a enough wiggle room in that to afford a modicum of plausible deniability to those who feel the need to avail themselves of the opportunity.
  25. Chomper Higgot
    And the precipitators of the Brixton Riots where? Or do you pretend not to know because you personally were not subjected to abuse by a systematically racist police force? Read some history.
