[Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

[Sid and the Sharknados]

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.

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.

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?

That's quite possibly the worst attempt at an analogy I've ever heard

Clarkson is a contrarian. Aggravated by drink.

And a broken clock is correct twice a day.

During the Plymouth aggro, counter demonstrator Lucas Skeaping filmed himself on his go-pro pushing a boy off a bike, also throwing a rock at opponents. Lost his job and since given 18 months imprisonment.

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

He is a bellend.

This may have already been posted on this thread.
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.”

See my post #349. It'll save me fingers.

Given he was a remainer when all his mates were, and is now a racist because all his servants are, he reminds me very much of this bloke

I appreciate that those are Clarkson’s words and not your own. However, I have to ask:

Do you feel that Brexit has been a roaring success? Do you believe that people are incapable of learning from their mistakes?

There are excellent reasons for our current migration levels being pretty much correct at the present time, what’s missing is that there’s nobody at a senior political level coherently spelling out why this level of immigration is correct.

We absolutely can reduce immigration, but looking at the two largest visa categories, we will either need:

a) significant tax rises to rescue our universities (or treble tuition fees)

Or

b) to accept that staff shortages will mean companies move their businesses outside of Britain to ensure sufficient staffing levels. This will (of course) lead to a loss of jobs for currently employed British workers, who will all have to retrain as care workers, nurses and doctors.

Britain is a country that at present does not lead in much except at an academic level, and even there US universities have begun to overtake us.

We’re very much trading on our past reputation, and other countries aren’t stupid, they learn. I agree we are way too complacent about the direction the country is travelling in, but the issue is economic and political, not immigration.

Right, that’s it

I do think your first sentence is somewhat superfluous

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

Jail time or a smack in the chops. What a vile individual.

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.

There is legitimate concerns and there is kilos of Old Bollocks.

We have seen the facts about 'paedos' published on here today. Offending is proportional to population size of each ethnic group..

Housing....employment....all related to qualifications, employability, personal choices....on average.

Bad luck is also evenly distributed.

There is....nothing relating to white people being unfairly treated to see. Here or anywhere.

And if you believe that you are deluded and manipulated by woke lies. Apparently. <sigh>

 

[Thunder Bolt]

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."

Good. The police must go after the instigating online liars.
