Scotland is hardly impacted by mass immigration because the vast majority of migrants head for London and the south east of England.

 

Yeah Scots traditionally love to talk the talk. Not so good at walking the walk though.

 

Same reason that there are so many Scottish football pundits yet so few decent Scottish players. 

 

Let them experience what's happened in many English cities and then see how keen they are on immigration. Until then, let them pontificate.

• Kevin Crawford - Scottish National Party (SNP) - 1331

If you want to place your hopes on a council by-election which got a 25% turnout then by all means go for it. 

 

Whilst the pervasive creep of Farage's lies and racism is undoubtedly attractive to some, I am confident that the decent majority will continue to show him and Reform PLC the contempt they deserve.

I, personally could not care less about Council by-elections.

 

Labour and the Tories are absolutely panicking about their spanking at local Council By-elections.:So they must be of some importance to Political Parties.

Take your evidence of this to PC Plod. I believe that the UK has some strictly enforced rules over this.

And I think if there was any truth in those rumours, better people than you would already have taken action. Not as if 2 Tier Kiers stormtroopers are afraid to wade in on anything that appears to be right wing.

And tell them what? Farage is a liar and a racist? To the best of my knowledge neither are illegal.

Your knowledge is wrong

 

Racism is a hate crime in the UK.

Any crime can be prosecuted as a hate crime if the offender has either:

• demonstrated hostility based on race, 

 

I guess there is no evidence of him being a racist, or he would be in jail.
