This is normal behaviour from him. You should have seen him get his knickers in a twist over the two child benefit cap. 

But all my friends are moving to Dubai because inheritance tax innit.

Using the word "colonised" points to that for me, so have to agree to disagree.

But yes, immigration is too high and integration is too low. As said above, I don't think anyone is arguing against that.

Exactly. Using the word colonised and making up figures. It's a very thin veneer, almost the thin as some on here.

As you have put that in quotes you can direct me to where I said that. I’ll abstain from responding to you in the way you respond to me as I have decorum and I wouldn’t lower myself to your poor standards. Put me on ignore.

100% Agree. Hardship builds character and resilience which there is a big lack of. Our society has changed to protect people from consequence and weak mentality, which has just exacerbated it

Perhaps we should get our own ICE agents on the streets to shoot a few people? That would toughen us up eh?

I didn’t use the word “colonise” and that isn’t a good word to use in the point he was trying to make.

i think the point some people make is that there are some cities and towns in the Uk where people have settled only in those places and as a result there is a lack of integration in them. The local politics are wholly run by specific groups. This is starting to play out on the national political scene and is influencing the way (and not for the better) in which some political parties, mainly Labour who are in competition for votes in these places, now address certain issues. This is probably why Starmer and Burnham stuck their nose into this. Are you saying this isn’t happening in places?

You supported what Ratcliffe said which was partly lies and partly disingenuous. You seem to get your ing

formation from Trump, his administration, Musk, Farage and his cronies. Where in the UK are there areas that are not run by democratically elected officials. Starmer, Burnham and anyone who opposes racist rhetoric stuck their noses in as you put it because Ratcliffe was taking the same bollocks that Farage talks.

The use of words like invasion and colonisation are what gives the motive away. You are no different, along with the laughing emoji nic. 

Funny isn’t it. When Brits go abroad and settle and take their full English breakfasts and fish n chip shops with them they are called ex Pats not immigrants and you don’t hear complaints about them not learning the language or integrating. Maybe because we have a previous history of Imperialism/colonisation?

If you want to talk about integration then do so. Don’t use the same language used by proven racists and pretend you mean something different.

Symptoms of an unsuccessful man is someone who makes a lot of who they are and feels the need to self promote. People that really are successful don’t feel the need to brag about it. Always a tell tell sign. Tone down the self promotion and it maybe more believable

They don't get complaints, or at least don't understand all the mockery and piss taking that happens in the local language they can't he arsed to learn as they sit in their Little England ghettos.

You're so easy to wind up 😂 this is a fucking forum, no-one knows who I am apart from one person. Promotion is pointless, surely, and even then not sure when I last did any of that anyway?

Also, you're right, wealthy people never show off. There's a great example of that in a rather important job over the pond.

I thought you'd gone for the afternoon anyway?

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?

I'm 100% in favour of Spain making a fuss and bringing in tougher laws to protect their native population from ex pats. It's their country and they would be completely within their rights to do so.

The vast majority of boys born to muslim families in the UK will have some variation of that name given to them either as first or second name. If the vast majority of non muslim boys were called Richard the number would be vastly greater. It is just sympthomatic of how names are assigned, generally there are far more "traditional" british names to choose from.

[whelk]

FWIW as a screaming leftie I do think what Jim was trying to say does resonate with many - not teh specific wording. Easy capitalist bogey man but you can’t have 9 million people on benefits. And immigration has been stupidly high and is affecting communities.

Akin to Gordon Brown calling that woman a racist.

I disagree and highlights the increase in Muslims is at a much higher rate than non-Muslims.

It's not just immigration obviously, like Jim said it's a welfare Bill that is horrendously high as a result of expectations that the government have to look after and do everything for everyone. A bit like the SEND stuff which has ballooned in recent years to a ridiculous level when really it should be a targeted level of support for those who are at the greatest need. Reducing the welfare bill and resetting expectations of what we expect from government should really be the absolutely priority for government before we talk about things like growth.

Whilst it's not colonisation and I don't think that's a good term to use, I am concerned by the rise of Islamic independent MPs in Parliament and what they represent. I can't imagine they will go away any time soon and are likely to grow in number.
