What has the UK become under the far right influence?

[hilts]

So called state broadcaster promoting the far right again this morning.

Tory K with Führage and News24 choosing a reform crank to spread misinformation about migration without challenge.

You must have missed Thornberry and Cox having a pop at Farage which is a strange thing for the BBC to allow if they are promoting the far right.

The only concerns I have is the rise of racism and fascism and how people are attempting to excuse it.....and it's just a question, some people don't like being asked that question, do they?
I'll re-word it: "in what way does immigration affect you or people you know, or just people around you in general?

I share those concerns. Deep concerns. The media is awash with trying to get people to look at immigrants rather than at the super wealthy tax dodgers.

I'm not sure if someone who is a legal migrant would have to be housed..I honestly don't know the rules on it..I mean if I move to a different country and do it legally I would be expected to find my own accommodation.

No, most would have a “NRPF” (no recourse for public funds) condition attached to their visa.

Cheers..like I said I didn't know..

They can rent from the council/housing associations but if they're not homeless (and like you say, why would they be?) or under any threat, then they would be at the bottom of the waiting list. Situations vary so much though so it's hard to say.

It's Sean Bean in Lord of the Rings.

On whose behalf do you think Zelenskyy is fighting his war?

British citizenship is well defined, but English ethnicity? However you might define it, It is not an infinitely elastic term, and if you were to attempt to define what's going on you'd have to come the conclusion something has snapped somewhere, hence these flags, which have now multiplied to seventeen Union flags and four English ones in the estate I overlook.

I really have no idea what you mean by English ethnicity and what it has to do with flags.

Did the ancient Britons have flags on Stonehenge? Did the Beaker People call themselves "my people"? Should the Saxons have "gone home"?

 

[meltonblue]

The UK has been far more influenced by the likes of the Fabian Society than any “far right” influence.

Or that just shows that you’ve personally been influenced by the far right to think that ;)

The internet is a wonderful thing. You should try it....

English ethnicity refers to people sharing common Anglo-Saxon and Indigenous Celtic ancestry, who developed a distinct history, culture, and language. Originating from Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, and Jutes) who migrated to Britain in the 5th century, the "English" identity was forged through their settlement, eventual unification, and development of the English language and distinct cultural practices. While English ethnicity has historical roots in shared ancestry, it also encompasses shared cultural traits and a common history.

Did the ancient Britons have flags on Stonehenge?

No, but they did have Ken Barlow, yes he's that old.

well besides the word Anglo meaning English and some parts of language , we don't share anything with them any more than roman britain.

We are a mish mash of many outside influences, Englishness is not anglo saxon, it tis not plantagenet, hanovarian etc it is mongrel, it is multicultural, and it is unique

So English ethnicity was forged by various immigrations over a millennium then just got stuck during the Dark Ages...

The Normans didn't affect our language?

You're living in a dream. The left may have been defeated on the economic front, but on the social front they are triumphant.

Academia, schools, the trade unions, the civil service, the NHS, human resource departments of any size, large corporations, the entirety of the public sector, councils, the BBC, fucking everywhere the left has captured the lot.

 

[moomba]

Don’t get me wrong, there are bound to be racist knuckle draggers amongst the people at these demonstrations. But labelling concerned parents as racist is moronic and out of touch. Why would anyone think it’s a good idea to put dozens of undocumented fighting age men from known Islamist areas into villages.

Also, where are the women and children?

"Fighting age men"

8,000 Normans is a little bit more than the South Stand.

Besides, ethnicity is not race and it's not genetics, it's written on the label in my last post.

Come back when you're being serious.

 

[Giovinco]

Pretty simple really the left has pushed too far and people have had enough.

 

[moomba]

No, most would have a “NRPF” (no recourse for public funds) condition attached to their visa.

I had that when I came over here.

FWIW when I was here in the 1990s I was eligible to receive public funds. So the rules were changed at some point.

Yes, but it is ours, the English, how we acquired it is immaterial. If there is no such thing as English ethnicity then there's no such thing as French or German ethnicity or any such thing as ethnicity anywhere in the world, someone better tell the Japanese!

Why is it that the left when faced with inconvenient facts just make up their own alternative facts, isn't that a Trump thing?

That went to eleven real fast.
