Who said anything about being at a rally.... I agree with you by the way.
The question is.... If anyone feels this government and all the previous governments in the last decade are not dealing with the people who are landing on our coast in the large numbers as they are, what platform do you have to make your feelings clear? I feel that anytime there is an utterance of complaint about this you are branded a Right Wing Fascist - I would genuinely like to know how we can have a proper conversation about this.
By the way I utterly deplore the actions that have been taking place and are currently taking place across the UK - just to be clear and @freshie no one can argue with what you say.
For my two penneth worth I feel the best way the Government can deal with this would be by coming out and telling us a) what they are going to do about the people who are landing on our beaches daily and b) what their plans are for dealing with the people who are already here awaiting their asylum application to be processed. So far their silence has been deafening other than to say they are going to set up a special border task force. Isn't that just a rehash of what the Tories haven't done over the last decade or so? We really do need positive action and leadership if we are to silence these mindless thugs and lunatics.
Do you honestly think that's the best thing the government could do right now?
What do you think would happen if the boats miraculously stopped overnight? Do you think these people would suddenly stop being racist thugs? What noticeable change would these people see in their lives?
The best thing the government could do is stop trying to kowtow to this discourse and accept they will never placate these people. They need to deal with the incitement we've seen in the media from politicians, media ownership and influencers/general gobshites.
Alongside that they need to deal with the levels of deprivation in society which create conditions whereby this kind of behaviour becomes more prevalent.
