My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

re. last post, the irony of *Britain* saying that they want immigrants that come to this country and give back, not take.
Given what our empire was up for for over 400 years, good grief.

it's not conversion torture when wes streeting does it
it's not racism when shabana mahmood does it
it's not eugenics when pat macfadden does it
it's not far right when labour do it. it's just grown ups in the room

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision
If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine?
When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

Immigrants have helped, improved and enriched this country more than the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could do in a thousand lifetimes, so it would be quite nice if the government didn’t pander to feeble dickheads like them with rhetoric like this.

And also, life is not supposed to be *permanently* stressful. We're adapted to short periods of stress. If you maintain that kind of thing for weeks, let alone months or years, with no respite or hope, that's putting people into PTSD territory.
Right, but is it that we’re “forgotten life can be stressful” or is it that neoliberal capitalism doesn’t allow us to have natural, normal reactions to stress, so we seek treatment? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
'Life being stressful is not an illness' - GPs on mental health over-diagnosis
Hundreds of GPs in England tell the BBC they are also worried about a lack of help for patients.

The suggestion that it’s become unaffordable to live in London due to the growth of non-white non-British born populations is also pretty disgusting. I’m sure he’s equally furious about how much London property was bought by the White Russian oligarch class during that period right?

And the “being priced out phenomenon” is really not about immigration but gentrification & UK wide economic agglomeration into London!

Anyone noticed how UK media is a lot less obsessed with Farage’s alleged antisemitism than Corbyn’s alleged antisemitism?
Odd that.

I think Transactual put it best (in reference to the girl guides) and now Labour too:
"There is no problem being solved here, only harm being done."
All to appease the right, who hate them anyway - shame on them.

What is it going to take for our politicians to stop pursuing all the nazi shit and start treating people as humans?
Also, I hope Shabana Mahmood intends to deport herself as a person born in the UK to parents who were born in Pakistan. After all, what's good for the goose.....
