Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[outwoodclaret]

I am no longer certain what Starmer's political objective, I believe he is just a different version of David Cameron.

Well it seems unfortunately that the cuts to winter fuel allowance and the proposed smoking ban in pub gardens have done nothing to deter the boatloads of largely unaccompanied males setting off from the French coast. I am sure when Sir Kier faithfully promised to put country first and party second this was precisely what he had in mind.

I'm not at all sure even he knows what's going on in his mind Sir Outwood. It is inconceivable to imagine a Labour government flying under a Socialist flag would cut the Winter Fuel Allowance for us oldies.

Couldn't agree more, sinkov, so many people are scared to say what they think because they may offend someone and, like BT, have the bizzies knocking on their door.

The persecution of Robbie Tomlinson has been a warning to the English: Shut up.

Good catch! I'm still riding. I shifted the Beemer on. Current scooter is a Harley-Davidson FLTRU.

I'm on a Bonnie SE 865, seems like a baby compared to yours.

Not to me. I don't even know who he is and certainlyo have no idea or interest in what he may or may not have done. He is just another name amongst many which the media peddle and I have no interest in them at all.

[Robus]

You know of him but a slightly different name, which cannot be spoken here.

Why the riddle?

Why the riddle?

Why in the country that invented Liberty can names not be spoken?

Sorry Robus, it's 2.54 here in the UK and my brain is not functioning for riddles. Speak plainly please?

The Government, the media and the open borders brigade just love to portray this as solely a concern of the far right adherents of Tommy R and those Sir Keir believes are just “populists” but it is not. It is just convenient to label and categorise those who see a genuine problem as racist.

An interesting read. These are in French eyes mere economic migrants drawn by the lure of jobs in the UK and it is up to Sir Kier to deter them.

Just who are the "Open Borders Brigade" of whom you speak Sir Outwood and where do they hang out?

They are right under your noses and in our faces BT. Don’t you watch the news?

Seeing that the question of "Open Borders" has about 589 different facets Sir Outwood, I don't think we have the time nor space on here for such a discussion.

A million people inmigrated to the UK last year, 100,000 more illegally. Here will never be another time to discuss if you don't do it now.
