It doesn't surprise me.
History tells us that immigrants have so offered suffered discrimination and been treated miserably by the 'true Brits' as they think of themselves.
The illegal tag of the boat people is just another stick with which to beat them.
We are def a mixed bag in this island, our welcome, support and compassion for others less fortunate, can be so gratifying.
Then of course you get the others which Farage has managed to band together.

Thanks NWS. If they wanted to bring immigration down, the “boat ones” are an insignificant part of the number. Just always surprises me they get such air time It's how Farage et al get gullible people to support him. I don't know about you but someone arriving in a small boat has never threatened my job. Farage was all invested in Trump and America. Suddenly, over one weekend he had a change of heart. In other news, Trump lost his court case a day or two earlier.

So it looks like they should stay in france then. Or is france at war and a dangerous place to stay making it worthwhile risking your life in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world in an inflatable boat ?

You do know that international law doesn't work like that don't you? Do you think we should not share in solving world problems?

So a Reform activist was caught on camera referring to Sunak as a 'f**king Paki', calling for paramiltaries to shoot the 'boat people', plus 'bring back the noose' etc. Don't know what the fuss is about. This type of language and opinion was common enough at Farage's Maidstone rally from his supporters. Farage is def the pin up boy for the far right.

An elitist, entitled, privately educated banker calling himself 'man of the people' and employing disgusting racism to attract support. People are gullible enough to fall for it. Sigh.

Speaking of 80yos, the man across the pond didn't cover himself in glory, while how anyone could vote for the man baby with the cat's arse mouth is beyond me and as for when it speaks...

You are not wrong nws. As witnessed at Reforms Maidstone rally, Farage has attracted the most vicious type of racist bigot into his ranks. Right wing political extremism is alive and well in some parts, sadly. But didn't I read that the ward covering Grove Green elected a Green candidate at the recent Borough Council election. That must have annoyed somebody !

Looks like America may get Trump back in, good for them and well done to the people waking up.

Trump isnt good for anyone, specially us over here in Europe.
Why do you think Russia is so desperate for Trump to get back in power, Putin knows Trump will let him do whatever he wants....
