There is a demographic issue to come and Labour shortage now in no small part of our own making.
What is pathetic about my response? Ukip is it's own entity and a current political party that participated in yesterday's elections as did reform. Do you always resort to insults when you don't agree with someone? Get a grip keyboard warrior, that's my opinion, deal with it.
There are disturbing similarities, but I'm still hopeful that FPTP will probably stop that happening. I think there are enough people who are disillusioned with either Labour or the Tories would still vote tactically to prevent it.
I don't really understand what you think Reform would give you though to offer "hope"? That's not meant to sound patronising btw. I'm genuinely intrigued to see what the appeal is to voters such as yourself.
You have to understand how pissed off people are, and yes with the immigrants coming in and been looked after.
That is so true. When I was a young man I used to scoff at the obsession with the importance Family that conservatives like Thatcher seemed to have. With hindsight and the evidence before our eyes I understand how wrong I was. I am not sure how and when it became it the responsibility of the state to care for our oldest generation but something has been lost for sure. The progressive approach to family like so many progressive ideas has failed us badly.
Yeah, we should aspire to be more like Russia.
Absolutely correct.
Send them back! They are not hear for asylum. They are here for a free ride and milk our system as to send money home via western union money transfer so their wife’s and kids can have a better life at home and our governments have given them just that for too long and we are talking hundreds of thousands of people. While our own resources are annihilated! Have you got a dentist? Have you got doctors and specialist visiting you at home? Have you got 24 hour chefs cooking your meals? Have you got 24 hour cleaners because they trash the hotels they live in. All for free and they are still coming! Where the hell do we stop with this ridiculous notion that we are somehow the social services of the entire world and that we as tax payers should be paying for everyone of them forever! Whilst our own population struggles to pay for themselves! Can’t get a dentist, waiting lists of years, doctor appointments in 2 weeks and that will be on the phone, housing crisis, Energy prices through the roof, winter fuel allowance gone, disability payments going the list goes on. But mr immigrant (it’s always men aswell, where are the woman fleeing these so called troubled countries) can get all these services at tax payers cost for as long as their asylum processing takes. Which by the way is not even remotely near completion for even 30 percent of all the immigrants. The asylum system cost trajectory is a grim read in terms of the cost to mr and mrs tax payer and many people think enough is enough.
I have no idea if that's possible, I've no problem if they do considering the track record of labour and the Tories. When I look at the present cabinet I see no one with either the qualifications or experience who can run their departments effectively.
Be careful m8,,, you know what's coming your way now, there will be hoards having a go at you, especially the 1s that have given up bedrooms for these poor people,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ohhh wait
I am surprised that none of what they call the "BIG" hitters.... like Cooper, Reeves, Rayner have been wheeled out in front of the cameras today (apologies if they have appeared and I've missed them). That says a lot about Labour solidarity. They can't get a party line and they can't speak for themselves either. It's either that or they're all out at a concert or the Theatre enjoying their freebies.
Just sick to death of people being called thick or racist or bigot because they have a different opinion and view to how they want their hard earned spent. Me personally? I want the future of my kids secured and the best resources available for them, that I’ve worked hard to pay for through my taxes and eventually theirs.
I fully understand how pissed off people are. Pretty much everyone's quality of life in this country is decreasing. Poorly paid jobs, unaffordable housing, cost of living, utility bills etc. Putting this mainly down to illegal immigration is nonsense though. People need a scapegoat, and they make an easy, convenient target.
