Election Year or Fear!

You're an intelligent chap, you know the difference, and skin colour is incidental. Its as GP stated, and being a bit more direct about it, events such as 7/7/05, 22/5/13, 22/3/2017, 22/5/17, 3/6/17 (I could go on and list dozens, and as recently as 15/10/23) are all notable for not featuring Ukrainian perpetrators. Similarly, its not Ukrainian radicals that German Police are on massive patrol for during The Euros

I’m on holiday so better things to do…but you’re missing the point. Farage’s poster wasn’t to do with terrorism. It was to do with immigration - this was days before the 2016 referendum - and, apart from an uncanny resemblance to a piece of Nazi propaganda from the thirties - portrayed a long queue of German Syrian refugees.
The ‘Breaking Point’ reference was about the number of migrants/refugees waiting to cross our border. I accept that there is a European wide issue with immigration, it just seems really odd to me that Farage objected so vociferously to what amounted to 20,000 Syrian refugees but has had nothing to say about over ten times that many Ukrainians.

I'll answer that. The poster was referring to the stream of "refugees" pouring into Europe. (in its loosest terms)
Most of those would never qualify for refugee status and so it has proven. We ourselves now have a massive influx of rejected cases in Europe, who want another go at it.
The Ukranians are here temporarily, the rest are not, and expect full looking after. Time to wake up.

NN when they are forking out thousands to traffickers, and coming from as far as Vietnam. Something needs to be done. Wake up

Took Ting Tong to the east coast this week. The shame of looking at those Refugee hotels, with the guests outside with full jewellry/fancy watches and learing at the young girls was enough for me.

We are having the piss ripped out of us and maybe Buxton/Bakewell/Matlock needs its baptism of fire

...and Farage may have his own reasons, but I'm surmising that he was plugging into the possibility that many normal people apart from Farage feel less threatened by folk that a) don't intend to stay, b) broadly speaking share our 'ways' (note not 'values') and c) have no violent intent (above that contained in our own population)
