[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

That's Clarkson's Sun column btw. One of the rags that has spent the past decades demonising migrants and foreigners.

I know plenty of brickies and plasterers that don't bang on about immigration all the time.

Yes when you are being targeted. You wouldn't say to a black American that there are other thugs, crooks and bigots so why single out the KKK would you?

Jeremy Clarkson has hit the nail on the head with his comments in the paper.

But in case you’ve missed it, he writes….


“When I lived in London’s Notting Hill, working in the media, I was a remainer and so were all my friends. It literally didn’t occur to us, as we sat down there in our agreeable houses eating agreeable food that someone might vote to leave. And I think the same thing is happening again.

“Today, I’m surrounded by farmers and plasterers and brickies and butchers and all I hear, all day long, is that there’s too much immigration. But if they say this out loud, or if they go on a march, they are told by the London elite that they are far-right extremists or racist thugs. For the most part, they’re not. They are just people who know that they have to shut up when the Last Post is played and that a cheese rolling down a hill is funny.

“There was a time you’d have called them the salt of the earth. But Sir Starmer doesn’t seem to have grasped this. He is surrounded by people who see nothing wrong with immigration and he’s got it into his head – as I did with Brexit – that anyone who disagrees with him must be some kind of Trump-nut. The fact is though that four million people voted for Reform. More than that voted for Brexit. And he’s p***ing them off by labelling them as modern-day Hitlers. I therefore suggest that both he and his friends at the BBC calm down the rhetoric or we could be heading for some real trouble.”

What Clarkson is essentially saying is that he doesn’t like immigration and those working class types agree with him.

He is a bellend.

Not sure if this is the right place but … here’s another one that needs jail time. I don’t get it.

What really, really irritates me is the likes of Clarkson et al, who go on like the protestors and those who are worried about immigration actually have valid coherent points that we should all really be listening to.

Nearly all of their concerns are not legitimate because of the fact they are built on internet lies, media bullshit and surrounding themselves with like minded people. If the internet videos interviewing protestors have shown us anything, it’s that none of their beliefs are founded on anything like fact and their ego won’t let them admit they might be wrong, or reconsider their opinions.

Immigration policy and right to live and work in this country certainly can and should be discussed but let’s stop pretending that it include much of what these people are chucking bricks about for.

Going back to the origin of the riots especially in Southport, there’s no hiding in the internet. This one is a friend of Julia Hartley-Brewer apparently.

Posted on another site: A lovely chap from Croydon, no less, referring to the police protecting the handful of far-right bully boys: "They actually stopped those guys from being raped in Brighton."
Great picture, too....especially if you can read the mirror.



His latest:

" does Elton john still give out free blue jobs to the players and fans, well he is getting on a bit and mentally disabled just like the fans.. I know he is Watford, but the thought of all that seagull goop, oozing from his mouth attracts those types.. just look a lady izzard, she wants to be a brighton councillor / mp.. take care of him, I have met him and he is actually OK, a bit out their, but a palace fan."

As well as the obvious contradiction that if they can't express their views on immigration then he wouldn't constantly hear them talking about immigration and they wouldn't have had the chance to vote for an anti-immigration party in the recent election.

It's almost as though he's talking complete bollocks.

Oh no, I'm wrong. He is talking about complete bollocks. Some lovely snide digs about people who are comfortable with the idea of immigration not respecting the sacrifices made during the war in there as well, the pillock.
