They are in hotels in Epping, Eastbourne and Bournemouth - not exactly slum towns. They won't be worrying about heating, hot showers, and meals on the table come wintertime. We should not be paying taxes for this debacle. It is a grave insult. Unfettered immigration has wrecked this country. Every public service is creaking under the weight. Even the most ardent liberal has to admit this current situation is intolerable. If not, they are insane. Successive governments have failed miserably. They literally say no to no one. Every sob story is taken at face value. Not every foreigner is a refugee. Just because they come from a poor country doesn't mean they are an asylum seeker.
You look after your own. Ffs, the migrants have zero interest in us and integrating. I'd go into a restaurant, I'd go into a boozer in Bromley and all you see is............no, what I will say is that you will not find an immigrant in there.
I'm not a big fan of Joey Barton but he absolutely destroyed Neville on a podcast earlier. It also transpires that supposedly two other flags stayed up on a site even though OUR one was taken down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still, I daresay that there are folk on here who will think nothing wrong with that
Your politics has slipped out of the politics thread Elfs (original post & this reply moved from the good news thread). If Gary Neville is paying the builders, I don't see a problem with him telling them which flags they can fly and which they cannot. They are presumably there to build something for him, not engage in a patriotic pageant. A building site on the Hanger Lane roundabout in West London had an Irish Tricolour flying over it (about 500 feet up) for around three years. It certainly didn't bother me, driving past it regularly. And I doubt the Sainted Gareth will mind having the likes of Joey Barton counted among his enemies. The guy is a thug. Practically psychotic. In my view flag waving is for International sporting events, in grown-up civilised Countries. Only dictators (or would-be dictators) in places like Russia, China and the USA feel the need to stuff their flags down people's throats. I must admit, I'm thinking back on a flag I used to detest, but one I'm now getting nostalgic for. Nice dark blue flag, with a ring of yellow stars on it. The rise of Jingoistic Nationalism in the UK has gone hand in hand with our rejection of that flag. Looking back, I realise some of my Brexit postings were far too jingoistic and nationalist in tone. But that's water well under the bridge now. PS: Sorry for jumping back in on this subject after I said I would leave it for now. Thinking about Joey Barton has strange effects on me
Was it Cloughie who said "football isn't a matter of life or death - it's more important than that"? If it wasn't him I guess it was one of those old skool Liverpool gaffers. I'm seriously thinking about giving away all my Worldly goods and walking the Earth.
