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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GarryP Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) 15 hours ago, proton said: It's a good start to be intellectually brilliant, which he was and nobody can deny his predictions came true. Many cities in the UK became over run with immigrants and changed the nature of them without the host population ever being asked. The present state of lawlessness is unprecedented and it's almost always foreign names as the guilty. Added to that the burden of immigration on housing, schools, NHS and social care is unsustainable, blaming the government for not building enough houses etc is to ignore the obvious. Yet still they come, even on boats escorted by the RNLI, people paying 4-10k are not poor or asylum seekers but the betrayed UK taxpayer has to fork out for these illegals to be put up in 3 star accommodation and looked after forever, just because they are better off leeching off Brits than they would have been back home. Powell was right when he said we must be mad, literally mad. I think you'll find that immigration back in the 50's and 60's in Yorkshire and Lancashire was supported/promoted by the government to provide workers for the mills and factories. It was not about immigrants trying to sneak in illegally. Bradford and Saltaire among a number of cities in the north are what they are now due to government policy and not because of "leeching". Now whether that policy was right or wrong, I have no idea, but you should not blame the people. Edited September 2, 2022 by GarryP 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whethere that policy was right or wrong, I have no idea, but you should not blame the people. That is a myth, they were never supported or invited, including the windrush boat. It was some Caribbean islands, especially Barbados who asked if people could be trained in UK as nurses etc. I would be interested to see any information that mass immigration was ever invited from places like Pakistan to work in mills and corner shops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a citizen of the country or resident there and working then you get healthcare, what is wrong with that? Do all Muslims stage demos? Do they all throw acid?

Muslims are always staging demos over school teachers they disaprove of, including death threats, or films like the lady of heaven. They harass and have even stabbed people at speakers corner for exposing the lies in the Quran. They are offended by everything but ashamed of nothing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
