Those are the symptoms. The cause is the failure of our elected leaders to show leadership. You can see it in every facet of society. Healthcare - failing. Housing - unaffordable. Services - addicted to cheap foreign labour. Universities - addicted to rich foreign students. Crime - soaring. Fly-tipping, shoplifting, knives, drugs... Utilities - broken and ever more expensive. Transport - pitiful. Schools - out of control. The economy - in long term decline. Justice - ground to a halt. Policing - under funded. Work ethic - gone. Benefits now a lifestyle choice for millions of young people. All the fault of weak-willed, short sighted leaders who were too busy feathering their own nests to care about Society in this Country. Suited twats who just blame each other on TV and in the Commons. Then when they get elected promising change, carry on exactly as the last lot did. OK, I've let off some steam now...
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgeqwv98d55o It is clear that both you and I are not going to agree on the MASS influx of illegal immigration. However, the figures on the enclosed link are shocking and worrying, this cannot be argued. Maybe one day you will walk out of your front door and have a row of tents parked outside, that would upset the locals. Ireland is f*****, Germany and Spain are fighting in the streets. The poles have it right. It's the same old s***, anybody commenting on immigration are racist. It's hilarious when the supporters of immigration are asked if they would be prepared to house these people, they all come back with 'we rent, or we do not have enough room, or I live with my parents'.
All public services - including hospitals, schools, prisons, housing, the welfare state - are gummed up with migrants, costing us untold billions each year. It is sickening. The government thieves from pensioners, farmers and the disabled, just to lavish cash on needless immigration. Over a million foreigners on Universal Credit. Thousands of illegals living in hotels when they should be in secure camps with basic provisions, not with laptops, phones and fancy trainers. Undocumented men roaming the streets and we have no idea who they are, where they are from or what their intentions are. The government's job is to protect the people, particularly women and children, yet it is failing dismally when it allows these men to wander freely. Not all migrants are sex pests, granted, but some will be, meaning we must not take chances. Place them in camps until they can be verified. But that's not going to happen. The Home Office are buying up properties for the migrants, not the poor folk who have been waiting in temporary accommodation for years. It stinks. It is no wonder the people are striking back. Trouble is, it's simply too late. The damage has been done. The UK is finished. I'd never condone violence against the police. Never.
I have bought a property in Brazil and put money into the country and do not take a 'centavo' out of the country. Hundreds of thousands will be taking money out of the UK and not putting a penny into, and will live there for tens of years. In amongst all this, where is the integration in the UK? You see them in packs wondering the streets, you go to a restaurant, you to a bar, you go to the theatre, they are nowhere to be seen......in the main. A common comment is that the Brits are racist, when it could be said it is the other way around.
No we're not. But that's OK. We can disagree without it getting personal on this thread. All views are welcome...
I have put an advertisement in the local paper out here, my St George is draping over the balcony so new members will know where to find me for the first meeting.
I was listening to a discussion on the state of the water industry yesterday. The analyst said that there needs to be an honest discussion in the country about how to fund it. Since when was there an honest discussion on any major issue? No, it's still true what my father told me 60+ years ago, that we like politicians who lie, that's why we keep electing them. It's the only way to achieve power.
It's the regulation that seems to have gone so wrong, partly for ideological reasons. The Conservatives believe that private businesses should be able to earn as much profit as they like. And naturally those businesses put profit & dividends over good service and safety. That's just what they do. But the three different departments supposed to be overseeing water safety, quality & supply were all dancing to different tunes. Don't rock the boat Keep bills low don't prioritise investment So customers have been short-changed for 30 years. Now the situation is so bad we cannot re-Nationalise. So in short there is no way out of the mess. Just decades more poor service, poo filled rivers and bills sky-rocketing. Just more proof that regulators are a fig-leaf. Big business can just do what it likes. And when it fails, the tax-payers will bail it out.
And talking of rats & sinking ships... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2le45rj1dno Seems like a possibility that Reform UK could be the largest party after the Welsh Parliament elections next year. Presumably that would be a Reform UK First Minister in Wales.
Plod are trying to keep the peace, it is automatic that there will be skirmishes. Have people not seen shields and batons being used unnecessarily on folk?
Plod over here do not f*** about, batons and shooters do the trick. They should have the policy of hit now and ask questions later.
