    I'm not saying any member here wants that.
    It's just where we're going.
    The Trump Administration has opened offshore detention camps which currently hold tens of thousands of people, without trial or representation.
    The Administration has also closed many Federal information websites & online public facilities. The cyber equivalent of book burning.
    It is also at war with Universities, attacking intellectualism and liberal thinking in all its forms.

    All of these things happened in different ways in Germany during the 1930's. And when Reform UK gains power in the UK, those things will happen here.
    Not overnight. But over a decade or so.
    Sadly I think FHB is right. What we are seeing now is only the palest shadow of what's coming.

    From whose side ? What I'm seeing in the Uk is an absolute mess, we aren't far behind depending on what happens in places like the UK and USA.

    Few Countries are as bad as they are portrayed on news programmes abroad.
    During Mad Cow disease many Americans thought people were dropping like flies in the streets here with CJD, like some new kind of Black Death.

    I went to Northern Ireland once on holiday, around the time of the Good Friday agreement.
    To watch the news in Britain you'd think the whole region was just fences and armoured Land rovers and petrol bombs.
    In reality it was noting like that. OK I saw a few squaddies. But everything else was very much like other places around the UK. And out of town there was some stunning scenery.

    We Brits probably think Rural Australia is overflowing with serial killers, crocodiles and packs of wild dogs.
    Perceptions from abroad are often strange to say the least.
    Not saying there aren't problems here. But those problems don't dominate every minute of everyone's lives.

    It's the liberals who have killed this country with their deranged ideology and open borders experiment. This country is finished and it is all down to the so-called intelligent people. They make me sick. Our once great nation wrecked and for what? Just so the hand-wingers can pat themselves on the back. It's pure evil.

    Public services and the welfare state bulging at the seams. Over a million migrants claiming Universal Credit. £6m per day on hotels for illegals. One in eight prisoners in this country foreign. Thousands of sex crimes committed by migrants. Yet still the elite see no issue, because they don't live amongst it.

    Immigration should pay for itself, but instead it costs untold billions. The taxpayer really is mugged off in this country. Only an imbecile would be happy to pay for this ****show.

    Control has been lost, the British will explode once there are deaths on the streets, this is inevitable.

    Khan knows he is f*****, why do you think he'll not answer questions.
    His mate is a dead man walking, he cannot resign as it will be an admittance of failure.

    There's nothing more I can say on this subject that will serve any purpose.

    Yeh sorry lads, I'm just genuinely interested and it only naturally makes me sad when I see and hear what I am about the state of things their. For me, it never leaves my thoughts, that the UK is like my/our big brother and best mate at the same time, I don't want what the UK is about culturally and personally to change or dissipate.

    Ive refrained until now, 47yo. Have not let my inner convict land me in prison, have yet to really murder anyone, basically.
    I do however, as homage to my loins, steal a Loaf of bread weekly, just to keep the bastardism alive and my reflexes honest.

    Thing is, there are millions of decent, law-abiding migrants who do everything by the book, creating jobs, paying taxes, enhancing the country in so many ways. They deserve to be cherished and appreciated. That type of migration pays for itself and should be applauded. But successive governments have failed to keep the numbers at a steady flow, thus creating this horrid situation where there is fear and frustration on the streets.

    America is a warning to us all. Look at what the European immigrants did to the indigenous population.

    Yeah and look at the Egyptians and their history of slavery :emoticon-0148-yes: you can go back thousands of years and it’s all been around before - but I bet they wasn’t put up in hotels and given benefits without lifting a finger to improve the society they found themselves in - the reason they pass through safe countries now is to get to the promised land where you can survive without working or lifting a finger :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Sorry, I know I said I was done with this - but the imagery conjured up is just too tempting.

    Pharaoh had the Ten Plagues of Egypt - frogs, hail, rivers of blood (ooh er Enoch) boils, not to mention the death of every firstborn child.
    And we have a society totally dependent on migrants to do all the jobs we don't fancy doing - and 28,000 asylum seekers in hotels.

    Old Pharaoh didn't know when he had it good <laugh>
    When Nige takes over, I expect he'll part the English Channel and make them all walk back to France :emoticon-0131-angel

    It's not just us. It's a global problem.

    The Hungarians and Poles know what they are doing. And they are in the EU. They know their people won't put up with the sort of mess we are in.

    We, on the other hand, have become soft and flabby and pathetic. Apathy has set in.

    I think he also killed all the migrants involved in the building of the pyramids once it was completed- maybe we should do the same <cheers>

    My brother tried to form an Apathy Party but no-one turned up for the meetings.
