Yes of course. Is the UK just bringing in the type of migrants who do not age then and/or are we expecting them to return to their origin countries when they get older so that they do not also become part of a much larger problem down the road? The problem with Ponzi schemes like this is that it requires continuous feeding and at some point it will inevitably collapse, most likely taking the welfare and health system with it.

However did the UK cope in the 90s when net immigration was about 100,000 per year? I don't recall any panic going on about needing an extra 350,000 people per year to plug the gaps. When did the UK public vote for such high immigration numbers? Has any party ever had this on their manifesto?

Buy it new as the difference between new and second hand prices do not justify the potential downsides to buying one second hand. You can get one brand new for 49,900 or you can get a 3 year old one for 38,000 according to this site: https://www.motors.co.th/en/bikes/buying?make=HONDA&model=SCOOPY

Does it really? Should the Thai's be worried then about the fact that non Thai's do not have the same rights as their citizens here?

It's a shame then that the virus can also enter your system though your eyes completely bypassing your double masking efforts, which would not actually stop the virus from entering anyway unless they are tightly sealed N95 masks that are changed regularly. Do you also follow the medical experts advice about a healthy diet and plenty of exercise or is it just the advice that takes very little effort you prefer to follow?

Diet and exercise protects from a myriad of illnesses/diseases and viruses. It's no coincidence that the people dying from covid and below average life expectancy were typically overweight. A mask doesn't even stop someone from catching covid so wearing a mask and being fat is higher risk than not wearing a mask and being fit. Hardly anyone wore "quality" face masks, hardly anyone wore them properly and hardly anyone changed them every 4 hours as they were supposed to, and people felt a false sense of security thinking they were protected only to catch covid despite wearing one. I'm sure you can point to 100s of studies that show in optimal lab conditions a high quality mask did wonders but in the real world (as is very obvious from all the countries that mandated these things) they achieved absolutely nothing to stop covid spreading at equivalent rates to countries that did not.

It's fairly common here. I almost never make it past a checkpoint without being pulled over even though I'm wearing a helmet. Out of (and I'm guessing here) 50 checkpoints I've been waved through once and stopped the other 49 times whilst wearing a helmet every time. I do see Thai's getting pulled over if not wearing a helmet though, but never a Thai with a helmet. I think everyone knows these are just a money making venture rather than a safety one. Since that is the goal then racial profiling makes sense here considering motorbike rental shops will rent a bike without the renter needing a licence, whereas Thai's will have a licence unless they happen to be my GF who has never had a licence and never been stopped at a checkpoint so doesn't see the need to get one :/.

Why is it always these useless masks (that give people a false sense of security) that are being recommended when a far better defence against covid (and other illnesses that really do kill humans in great numbers) would be a healthy diet and exercise?

Hamas have stated since Oct 7 that they want to repeat this atrocity over and over again. Isreal has an obligation to their citizens to prevent this from happening again. I don't really understand why (some) people find this complicated. If Hamas were in any way not monstrous barbarians that simply want to kill Jews and wipe Isreal off the map then perhaps there would be opportunity for diplomacy, but unfortunately for the small percentage of Palestinians that do not support Hamas and their barbaric actions, Hamas have left Isreal no choice but to continue on the path of destroying Hamas. It's quite obvious that should Hamas surrender unconditionally and release all the innocent hostages that they kidnapped, that there would be an immediate ceasefire and then a diplomatic solution, but such is the intense bigotry of low expectations that comes from the left that they never call on Hamas to do so, even though that is the guaranteed way to stop the unfortunate loss of civilian lives.

Isreal has the equivalent of ISIS as a neighbour. Since their ISIS like neighbours invaded their land, killed, raped, mutilated and burned alive 1400 Isreali civilians I don't think there is a country on this earth that would not respond to that kind of barbarism with the full might of their military to ensure it never, ever happens again. I'm surprised at the restraint Isreal are showing as they have the military capability to raze Gaza to the ground if they chose to do so. Obviously it sucks to be a Palestinian just now, especially so if they are one of the small percentage that do not support Hamas or their barbaric actions, but war is a messy business. If my country (the UK) decided that instead of using a democratic vote to leave the EU and instead decided to send thousands of soldiers to commit murderous atrocities against French civilians I would fully expect the whole of Europe to respond in the same way that Isreal is doing, and I would be cursing the governing body of my own country for causing it and not blaming those that are obliged by their own citizens to do everything in their power to prevent it happening again.

You need an asterix on this line: what is killing over 11 thousand Palestinians* *figures provided by murderous lying rapists also known as Hamas

Ok I have some questions: How many other open air prisons do you know that allow their prisoners to pro-create and double their population? How is it that Arabs living in Isreal have the same rights as Jews? Does Isreal not know how to do "apartheid" correctly?

Raping innocent women? Killing children? Taking grandmothers and kids hostage? You support these kind of atrocities?

Even if it is correct... so what? With Isreal living next door to genocidal maniacs who want to kill them at every opportunity then I imagine there are thousands of potential threats they have to investigate every day/week/month. Since Isreal has not occupied Gaza since 2005 I imagine it is also pretty difficult to verify every single potential attack and after all, the terrorists only need to be lucky once. It's not Isreals fault that terrorists invaded their land, raped their women, killed their children and took innocent civilians as hostages.... it is the terrorists. If you are looking to apportion blame for the atrocities committed, then you need look no further than the terrorist organisation Hamas.

Speech that provides an opposing view to yourself is not "hate speech", it is merely speech you disagree with. The previous owners of Twitter unfortunately trained leftists into believing opposing views should be censored rather than debated or aired, which in turn has led to the shock of leftists having to witness these opposing views. So from what I can gather then, what makes Elon Musk "right wing" is merely his belief in and providing a platform for free speech (so long as it is within the law)? Nothing else?

Other than supporting freedom of speech and providing a platform for that allows for freedom of speech (so long as it is within the law) without censorship, what "right-wing" traits has Elon Musk demonstrated? Is your hatred for Musk due to him not censoring views you disagree with?

Nice bit of whataboutery. Anyone can play that game. What would you say if they were bending a knee for the EDL? Policing should be carried out without fear or favour and all evidence suggests that this is not the case. Everyone (left and right) should agree on this simple premise. To not do so doesn't give much of a right to complain should the winds change and the political bias of the police turns to the right.

The pro-Hamas demonstrations are likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress to Jewish people in London. Are you therefore in support of the police pepper spraying and arresting anyone peacefully participating in those marches on the same basis that you support Tommy Robinson being arrested? Or would you prefer the laws to continue to be applied differently depending on the political views of the person involved?

It's a shame that the police (for far too long) were only bothered by white pedophiles and not the brown ones. If they had listened to the victims (instead of blaming the victims) of the muslim grooming gangs then perhaps they could have prevented thousands of rapes from happening to these children. If they had done their jobs the likes of Tommy Robinson would not feel the need to highlight this. Maybe the police could have nipped it in the bud early on, which in turn would have prevented you from being triggered whenever you hear his name, as no doubt what he says is yet another uncomfortable truth that you would prefer to pretend is not happening in the imagined utopia you reside in where every culture is wonderful, and every immigrant to the UK is a doctor, scientist or engineer making a significant contribution to the country. The police were simply too afraid of being called racist and this prevented them from doing their jobs properly. The racists were actually the perpetrators of these rapes who were targeting the white girls as they see them as "trash" and "worthless" for their crime of being white. Tommy Robinson probably feels he can safely let the police do their jobs when it comes to white pedophiles as they do not have a history of ignoring this or blaming the victims in this case, whereas there is clear evidence that they did not do their jobs when it came to the scandal of the muslim grooming gangs. I would prefer a world without Tommy Robinson or his ilk needing to say these things, but until people are ready to have adult conversations about the epic failures of multiculturalism in the UK there will likely be more "Tommy Robinsons" in the future.

Apparently this is satire, but it is hard to tell nowadays...

Once again. Being anti-islam is not racism. There is no blasphemy law in the UK no matter how much you would like there to be so it is perfectly legal (and not racist) to be anti-Islam, no matter what your groupthink tells you to think and propagate on this matter.

Why are you "deadnaming" him? I thought leftists were opposed to that sort of thing? I know you get your opinions from groupthink and leftist rags as it's pretty clear that you need to be told what your opinion should be on the <insert bandwagon here>, which is why you resort to trite phrases such as "educate yourself".

"I think if people actively tried to seek out what he has done that is supposedly racist, they will find very little evidence of him actually being so, but that requires some kind of effort and it is much easier for people to be told what to think about someone rather than forming an opinion of their own." Like I said, it is much too difficult for some to have an opinion of their own, especially amongst those who use the phrase "educate yourself" which is just a phrase that is used by people who are not able to provide an argument to back up what they have said and are hopeful that by using it that it ends all debate on the matter. Being anti-Islam is no more racist than being anti-Scientology.

Telling the truth is against the ministerial code? Why is that? Everyone can see with their own eyes the police force is more of an "appease force" when it comes to matters of Islam, BLM etc and only acts like a police force when someone is saying hurty words on Twitter that goes against their leftist political views. The police have not been doing their jobs over the last 4 weeks, allowing hate filled marches on the streets which has been causing Jewish people to not be able to leave their homes as they know all too well that the police will not protect them if/when they are assaulted/killed on one of the "largely peaceful" hate marches. If a politician breaks the "ministerial code" for stating facts in a newspaper article (however uncomfortable those facts may be), then it is clearly not the politician that is the problem here. Considering Sunak was not elected by party members, nor does he have support of the British public either (according to polls) I'd suggest he is failing at the job he should be doing, and I still remain befuddled at how he managed to worm his way into it.

Tommy Robinson is very clearly anti-Islam, which is an ideology and not something you can be racist against. As far as I can make out, in comparison to the barbarians that raped and murdered hundreds of Jews for the crime of being Jewish, he is not quite in the same ballpark as his crimes seem to be quite minor in lying to the bank about a mortgage and a bit of minor thuggery when he was younger. I'm sure when the religion of peace actually becomes a religion of peace and dare I say reforms itself, even the likes of Tommy Robinson will cease to be anti-Islam, in much the same way that he is not anti-Buddhism, or anti-Hindu or anti any other religion. I think if people actively tried to seek out what he has done that is supposedly racist, they will find very little evidence of him actually being so, but that requires some kind of effort and it is much easier for people to be told what to think about someone rather than forming an opinion of their own. Does he have the eloquence of someone like Douglas Murray who sings from the same song sheet? No, of course not. But there is not really much difference between them.
