I think that most of us are not racist so to speak ,but so sad at what our lovely once Great Britain has turned into ,constantly we see haw everything has degenerated in so many parts of the country due to people from other lands who will not integrate,daily stabbings and killings,kids out of control ,because of laws that stopped them being smacked etc.

I was talking to a guy who is over here today and for a few days more,i asked what his town was like now, even he thought it was only a shadow of what it used to be ,mainly because of the Muslim community.

"I think that most of use are not racist"...... then some ill-considered racist nonsense is posted!  Surely time to close this thread!

What proportion of expats in Thailand "integrate". Exactly the same criticism was levelled at immigrants in Australia decades ago, they didn't integrate. I'm not sure why they should "integrate" or what that even means in the context of migrants. Should they dress like us? Speak our language when they're 40 plus and just arrived (the point is moot for second generation and kids)? Should they eat fish and chips and haggis and black pudding? In Australia I must be very un Australian. I think sports are a waste of time except for exercise, I rarely drink beer, I don't like "traditional" Aussie food which is imported recipes from UK anyway. I don't eat meat pies, sausages, steak or chops so barbies are off the todo list. I'm not sure what these people have to do but I am happy they don't like our food.

 

Smacking kids is child abuse.

I was in the UK this summer, it was still wonderful.

 

The biggest problem, head and shoulders above everything else, is the cost of living crisis, which (for the time being)  is just about beating the collapse of NHS services in the list of public concerns.

 

Which is perhaps why the rightwing press are ranting again about immigrants.

 

It would be unbearable if the promised ‘bright and sunny uplands’ hadn’t shown up.

Perhaps there aren’t enough police around (what happened to them I wonder).

 

In the three months I was in the UK I only saw the police twice, once on the motorway, once in the queue at an ATM.

 

 

In  todays paper there is a picture and film of a gang looting and damaging a shop before attacking a woman.

Now what did Enoch say? Just look at the kind od people doing it,cue the usual sad face.

You miss the point, he never stopped working, you also forget that many MP's move on to other things, like your Tony Blair, and let's not forget David Cameron, well I would rather forget both.........????

I agree. This topic was always going to push buttons and drag out the racists and the anti-racists. The headline was arguably click bait. I think politics is fine but ongoing discussions about racism should not be part of this board in my opinion.

Then avoid British MP subjects, go start an Australian MP subject, you will have no fear of me posting in it...????

I think racist sentiments should be shut down period. They are illegal in my country for a reason. Quite a number of posts made in this thread would likely have people in the dock if they were resident of Australia and their ID's were public or if the server was in Australia.

Just now, brewsterbudgen said:

The thread started about Enoch Powell but inevitable degenerated into arguments about racism.  Just sad to see so many people with such intolerant views, but I guess that's life.

The OP subject renders itself to racism spouting, the problem here is that "some" have gone down the rout of calling members racist for agreeing that Enoch was right about his predictions.

Which in itself is incredibly daft, the hang 'em high, lefty, woke brigade, including one who has never set foot in the UK to actually see the OP's thoughts were spot on, as I, for one, have seen and witnessed. ????

Some more troll posts have been reported and removed.

Which exact prediction that Powell made came true? All you've got is some racist blame game and you tie that to the words of a racist who was given the rocket before you were born.

I was very recently in the UK, can’t say I recognized any of Powell’s predictions.

I did, as I said earlier, I went lots of places.

 

And as I have said, very recently.

 

If you have any up to date personal experience of places I should go on my next visit, let me know.

 

Where you recommend and how recent is your personal experience of the place?

So true.  The ignore list is the only "punishment" in which the only person affected by it, in any way, is the one (who thinks he is) doing the punishing!

I will ask again, have you been to the UK to witness Enoch's predictions that I have, towns taken over by different nationalities, no-go areas..... Yes or No....?

 

Watch this, and tell me Enoch was wrong.....

So I won’t bother with your ripped video, but I will gladly accept your recommendation for places to visit if based on your own personal experience of being their recently. places change all the time, so the date of your most recent visit will be the clincher.

You're skipping classes. We wrapped up the "intelligence debate" around page 12 already but we're happy to doggy paddle for a spell so that some other members can keep up.

It's a public forum, you do not "wrap up" any part of any threads, nor do you ("we"?) speak for anyone else on the forum apart from yourself. 

 

Doggy paddle?  What?    In your arrogant admonishment of my comment for not fitting into your timing of the progress of the thread, I assume by "doggy paddle" you meant "tread water"!

You avoid what Enoch envisaged, you dodge proof not from me, from absolute evidence, here is another for you to dodge...

 

Is this happening on UK streets, Yes or No...?
