Pinched from someone else. Oh the irony. A man of fighting age flees a country without his wife and children to seek refuge and sanctuary in a safe country. Now you know how it feels Tommy.

The net migration figure for year ending 2025 was 204,000, nearly 2/3rds lower than the previous year. It is the lowest annual figure since 2021. You won’t hear this when certain people discuss immigration though.

I don’t think I have ever read a post from you where you don’t speak negatively about immigration. I don’t think I have ever seen a post from you about white sex offenders. You wrote in support of comments by someone which have been condemned by everyone who doesn’t think the same way as people like Farage. What am I supposed to think about your views?

I get both in my news feed and as you say they both ran the same story. Not sure why it was an issue which one I chose to post? Would you prefer I just use the BBC in future?

Good that he corrected himself but those who saw his vid but don’t read The Telegraph will still be none the wiser.

I don’t, this cropped up on another feed on social media. Why does it bother you whose posts I read on social media?

Farage, “Jim” and the people who support them talk about immigration and immigrants as if they are the root of the country’s problems. Batman has spent years highlighting “issues” around foreigners. Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention? This country has an aging population and the birth rate is down. Without immigrants there will be fewer people to pay your pension and look after you in your care home in future. Instead of going into bat for Batman you should think about the consequences to you and your family if the people who speak the same language as him get into power here.

Oh dear, the xenophobe has kicked off again. There is a grown up conversation to be had about levels of immigration. The trouble is that you (and your ilk) have to demonise immigrants and blame everything on them. That is the main issue here. It’s the same old dog whistle tactic Farage has been using for years and it works on you guys every time. I don’t think that anybody agrees that we, along with every other European country, don’t have issues with immigration levels both legal and illegal. As said, the problem we have is that people with a certain political agendas weaponise the issues for their own ends. You may think that using words like colonise is no big deal. That is because you think he is right. You ignore white sex offenders but constantly post about sex offenders with dark skin. You (and your ilk) buy into the whole foreigners are the problem shtick and you have done it here again today.

Anyone want to contribute towards his air ticket?

Farage playing fast and loose with the truth again. He claims that 1,000,000 million people living in this country do not speak English at all. The 2021 census showed that 161,000 living in England and Wales did not speak English. 880,000 could not speak English well. I think most of us understand that there is a difference between not speaking a language and not speaking it well. Not that the people the message is aimed at will be bothered about the difference.

So then, there was no compelling evidence to support the government’s claim that this was a terrorist organisation after all. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/2/13/uk-court-says-palestine-action-ban-unlawful-what-does-the-verdict-mean

Will the flag shagging crowd kick off over this scumbag? https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/nursery-worker-guilty-rape-sexual-assault-toddlers/

Least surprising news…

Is it ticking? 💣 The dog has bought a card for her mum. She never forgets birthdays either.

I’m not sure what that has to do with the casting of black actors in the 21st century?

You are the snowflake. You are not remotely bothered that he lied about the figure in order to make his argument. You and people like you are the reason we have people like Trump in power. Why do get so offended when racism gets called out for what it is?

He has also received more money in subsidies from the Government (our taxes) than we will get from them. So what? You kick off about child benefits but are quite happy for very rich people who can afford it to pay less than their fair share in tax. Says it all. One rule for the rich, one for the rest of us. The sad thing about it is the number of “the rest of us” who think that this is perfectly ok and vote in governments who allow this to happen.

Do you think it is ok to spout lies as facts? Of course you do, you never call them out. Ratcliffe totally misrepresented the population figure growth. Anyone is entitled to an opinion just as others are entitled to call those opinions out (or post laughing emojis). Lies are not opinions. They are lies.

“Jim” makes Reform noises and gets jumped on. Break out the world’s smallest violin. Apparently his “colonisation” of Monaco is saving him some £4b in taxes. Just think what the NHS could do with that. Meanwhile he is trying to get more of our money to shore up his businesses. No sympathy from me. He brought the grief on himself. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/sep/25/sir-jim-ratcliffe-uks-richest-person-moves-to-tax-free-monaco-brexit-ineos-domicile

Yes. I enjoyed it. Did you? Would I spoil it for you if I told you that Jenneke Cromwell, his illegitimate daughter, was a fictional character?

I’m not sure what your point is? Are you saying that they are saying that Anne Boleyn was black? Regarding historical accuracy in the Norman invasion, why didn’t they hack the actor playing Harold to death? I don’t see why Olivier couldn’t play Othello these days (apart from him being dead). He just couldn’t use black face. If you want to use that argument he lived in the times when racial segregation was rife in the US. It was perfectly ok for him to use black face because no one thought of using a black actor for a major production on stage or screen. Now, in the second quarter of the 21st century, we should be grown up enough to know that artistic representations are just that. There are plenty of Shakespearean plays set in modern times and you don’t see people kicking off because they are not dressed in Tudor garb. We have been over this before. In the 16thc women were not allowed to be “players” so men played female parts. Plays and films are all about the audience suspending disbelief. I think we all know Olivier wasn’t really Othello, just as we know he wasn’t really black. Would it be much more of a stretch for a white actor to play the character? PS. Spoiler alert. Despite all of the various artistic impressions of Jesus, he would have had brown skin, not white. (Do black actors in Jamaica put on productions of Shakespeare?)

I am Mohammed, and so is my wife.

No sensible conversation can be had with someone who shares the same views as Trump and Farage. You share the same myopic desire for malignant capitalism that they do. It’s all about the money and power. Screw the little people, be they children or “colonists.” You conveniently ignore the fact that without the little people, the super rich wouldn’t have their luxurious way of life. I bet you and your little laughing friend are gutted that your names don’t appear in the Epstein files. Or perhaps they do? Shame you won’t see this though. 😉

I believe he currently resides in Monaco, a tax haven? He has also received something like £120m in subsidies from the British Government. This is tax payers money, many of whom are what he would describe as “colonists.”
