Labour Rift Deepens Over Starmer’s Immigration Comments echoing Enoch Powell

[JonnyF]

The only hope for the UK is a Reform victory at the next election.

 

Anything other than that and it's all over. May as well pack your bags (as I did). I think the politicians in their leafy suburbs are completely unaware of the seething anger in the country and if they continue to ignore it I think it could get very messy indeed.

 

The British people have been extremely tolerant thus far, but everyone has a limit. If their tolerance/generosity is continually thrown back in their faces along with the usual insults then I fear the worst. Let's hope sanity prevails and we get a government that actually acts on the behalf of the British people instead of selling them out for their own ideologies or vanity projects.

We need skilled intelligent migrants.

Not the worlds useless dross.

Wake up,  uk powers that be.

 

Exactly.

 

I'd have absolutely no issue for example helping the farmers that are being forced out of South Africa under the threat of extreme violence as their politicians sing "Kill the Boer".

 

Real people who are prepared to work and are in genuine need of help are always welcome. 

 

The unskilled dross washing up on the shores from France because there are more benefits available in the UK? Not so much.

He'd fit in well with the current Labour government. 

 

Maybe get a job working alongside Lineker at The BBC?

And you observed all this during a 2-week vacation in the UK. Impressive.
