Richard Pearson, I respect your right to your extreme views but I don’t think I’d like to have a beer with you. You don’t seem a very happy person to me. Sad.
Que Pasa?“Populism is stoked by chancers who mainly take advantage of not particularly intelligent people” The thickos who read the DB don’t realize how lucky we are to have such high IQ citizens like you and Williams contributing to this site. Oh well, back to the grindstone.
tranq tranquerOk, don't let anybody in. Simples. Tourist industry dies, business takes a big hit. Families not allowed to see each other. Sounds a bit like the Soviet Union. Also, you're suggesting that immigration is "uncontrolled", which of course couldn't be any further from the truth. The problem is enforcement. Richard, for example lives here illegally, and he probably will eventually get caught (especially after ETIAS gets up and running). But it's not as if it's "uncontrolled". That is hyperbole, plain and simple. They're after your vote. We need a "crisis" that only a messiah can fix. By the way, immigration in the UK hasn't changed much at all since Brexit. It's roughly the same. Rwanda was a wet noodle, and had no impact - especially on those who arrive by plane and simply never leave (like Richard), and those numbers are orders of magnitude beyond the numbers of "boat people". And Trump's wall did nothing. They climbed over it, they tunneled under it. Nothing changed. But, yeah, just stop letting anybody in. Simples. That's precisely what they want you to hear. You'd vote for that, right? Reality is a bit different though.
Que Pasa?Like to comment on this ? Seen, no less, on the BBC website. “Meta is abandoning the use of independent fact-checkers on Facebook and Instagram, replacing them with X-style "community notes" where commenting on the accuracy of posts is left to users”.
tranq tranquerTousiTV, has gone, as the faux Angela Rayner keeps saying, has gone from strength to strength. He is beating the big boys at their own game, and it won’t be long before he gets the treasured 1 million subscribers. His safety in the U.K. though is entirely another matter.
Que Pasa?So should we understand that neither you or Zoltan will never, ever, even if you are fortunate enough to own a blue water vessel, subscribe to Starlink ?
Morgan WilliamsSo what you are trying to say, not very successfully I may add, is that if Trump could sing, he would have garnered even more votes than he originally did ? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Populism is stoked by chancers (Johnson, Farage, Trump, Musk etc.) who mainly take advantage of not particularly intelligent people whose lives are pretty crap. They need someone to blame for their awful predicament and this is usually 'others' for example, immigrants, the establishment etc. Just look at the rise of Hitler and the Nazis in the 1920's and 30's after the Wall Street crash - it's not dissimilar to what is happening in the west right now.
Morgan WilliamsImmigration has become a key grievance amongst voters. It's a complex issue, with no simple solution. There is a simple solution - don't let them in. As I understand it the idea of Brexit was to control our borders. Those that have a job organised to go to you let in. No job no entry. That way we can have as much cheap migrant labour as we want or the market will bear. Try that for a while. Populism in the UK ie people fed up and let down by the current two party system is all about exploring alternatives, both politically in new parties and via social media, rejecting main stream news outlets. Hence Reform , Tousi TV, Paul Short and a miriad of other channels. Of course two tier Kier will tell you these are all far right fascists, your mum is a fascist, your granny, Uncle Fred , pretty well anyone who isn't either an immigrant ( can't touch them ) or a card carrying Labour supporter. His outburst yesterday was a classic example. Even the Dali Lama agrees uncontrolled immigration is not good. People from Africa belong in Africa, Asians in Asia and so on and he is right.
Ulla JacksonWith all due respect, forget it, you just don’t get it.
