I think I was more how come I didn't know about this, I could have had a day out in London....but then remembered I don't particularly like people, especially 100k+ of them all at once, and especially having to share trains with them. I wouldn't be able to sit at a little bar or outside relaxing in the sunshine in peace, so no.
Lots in that post! Here's my take; for what it's worth ... It was pretty well publicised that Tommy was behind the march and, in some ways, that's a shame, because I wonder just how many more would have turned out in support of the 'concept' if there was no association / he wasn't the main orchestrator? - suspect double or even more ... On Farage and Reform - if there aren't significant changes being seen to happen between now and the next General Election, then yes, Reform will become the Government and that's very worrying - not because of the political leaning necessarily - but because their current senior leadership is made up of cast offs and outcasts from the main olitical parties plus a few egotistical tits ... they couldn't currently form a shelf , never mind a cabinet ... would be like appointing Sucky as Minister of Work and Pensions - Kier Starmer may be lacking in charisma (for sure) but not intelligence. I expect to see the initiatives the the Government are putting in place gather momentum before then - one-in-one-out - replacement of hotels with purpose built, controlled asylum buildings for single men - no family joining unless successful asylum seekers or, indeed, economic migrants can demonstrate that they can maintain / subsist without relying on the state - facial recognition to fast track deportation of repeat illegals - co-operation with European neighbours to tackle the source(s) of the boats ... If they do then I think Reform's currently popularity will wane - but if they don't, we will reap ... End of Sunday Morning whimsical thoughts ...
Some were I suppose, most were there for the reason I already stated imo. Sick to the teeth of illegals getting a free ride when they should be put back on the fuking boat they came on and escorted back to france.
So now you want us spend money building asylum buildings ffs You lot are either extremely fuking stupid or off your fukin trolly I swear Send the ****s back to france and protect our borders. And turn the rest around before they even hit the shore, that in reality is the Onky ****ing way to stop this madness continuing. We owe these poncing ****s nothing
Climb out of your rabbit hole - you can't stop people seeking asylum (the legal ones) - so you need somewhere to house such whilst their claim us considered ..
TBF mate, Tommy could pass me in the street and I wouldn’t recognise him, I’ve never watched GB news and certainly didn’t go looking for it, but even I knew he had organised this rally!
I follow a lot of current domestic politics, I can't say I remember anything publicised about the Unite the Kingdom march, but then again I've no interest in Tommy Robinson as friend or foe so maybe that's why, and if I did hear his name mentioned my brain just auto dismissed whatever was being said. If ppl stop paying attention to the guy then maybe he'll become irrelevant or that's what I like to hope. So no in my eyes it wasn't well publicised, the first I'd heard of it was when it was actually taking place, I'm trying to think if you or Piskie even mentioned the march before the date, you may well have, not that it matters I'm pointing out how little I knew. I think if Starmer and Davey play their cards right and not too soon, they could easily keep Farage out. Again he's not a problem unless people make him relelvant and I'm not just talking about the ones who would vote for him. As for the channel crossings, they can only cross if we allow them to cross. I certainly don't agree with Sucky's methods of stopping them, but my methods would still piss off France, because I'd pick them up, puncture their boat and take them safely back from where they launched. Now France can't even stop the migrants so they claim, because the beaches are too vast, fine then you won't be able to stop us sending them back. Any children or women with children picked up would be given safe passage back to the UK, but the men, no. The men can make their own destiny, the little ones need kindness and assistance by the stage that they've got to the channel, some will see me as soft just for that lol. As for the very nice young man I listened to the other day, that said he came to the UK because Islam is welcomed, thank you....but I'd send him back to, because his reason does not fit for me as a refugee status when all the countries he passed through are equally safe towards Islam, unless they are not, then people need to start listing these racist countries for me. Roma is still winning 0-1 in the telly.
I didn't know mate, but I tend to have no interest in anything he does (no suggestion you do), so that's the only reason I can think why I didn't know about it. I probably heard about it and just blanked it out until the day and then thought, oh what's this all about. I'm not really in to flag waving either, bad enough seeing the Palestinian ones. I think after Ukraine we started becoming obsessed with flags....well tbph I was always obsessed about the EU one but that's another story entirely.
I should add I have nothing against legally approved migrants, and they far outweigh the channel boat crossers. We also need working migrants, again not a problem, and we need lots of them for our economy to operate sufficiently. What I don't like is people who try to buck the system with lawyers. Guys, I don't even own a dodgy fire stick and i pay my tv licence, so why would I want to support criminal activity. Starmer said he was going to smash the gangs, well get on with it then and smash them.
Of course... Rabbit holes blah blah They can seek asylum from France. The point is really we need a strong deterrent to stop the gangs smuglling people here daily, and the best deterrent for that is to stop them getting here at all. No ones gonna be willing to pay the gangs for a crossing if you've no chance of actually getting across. Maybe that just makes too much sense for you leftys I dunno but that would actually work. They can seek asylum to the UK from France innit.
and this is the crux of it for me. Piskie got something right earlier that he said, and it's the elephant in the room, I voted for Brexit - and guess what mate, I've never regretted it and would never want to return. I've got nowt against the French, Germans, Italians, Poles, nothing against any of them, but what I have a beef about is a Federal State, the same as Trump has and the same as Putin wants. For me the EU / Brussels became the bully boys of trading and politics. Trump saw it, Putin saw it, now we are on the verge of war because of it. The EU and NATO were only ever interested in one thing, rapid expansion, forcing a certain ideology on everyone else, only it's not my ideology, I don't agree with it or the methods, so now the EU with Macron's help wanted to punish us. I want good relationships with France of course I do, but I really wish Macron's Mrs would give him another smack in the chops.
