the rise of the far right as you call it, are because of one reason. Ask yourself why

Hmmm…don’t really have to ask to know what you’ll attribute it to…immigration!
Unfortunately I think that is just one of many more complex reasons.
It suits you and those on the right to blame migrants, and Muslims in particular, now in the same way as Jews were blamed ninety odd years ago.
Seems ironic then, in such circumstances, that you’re apparently about to become a migrant yourself, albeit without the frequent excuse of fleeing a war torn or corruption riddled country, but still with much the same aim of seeking a better life.

P.S. Just realised we agreed that this thread wasn’t to be further politicised so apologies for replying. If you want to continue suggest we move to the election thread.

OMG, what a tosser! I guess he forgets the many immigrants and citizens of UK colonies that fought and gave their lives in the last war? Not to mention of course the many Europeans, like the Poles (who has denigrated on this forum in the past) who fought in the BOB alongside this guy?

Yes the world and the country has changed, funny that. As with all things in life some changes are for the better, some not so much, but the wittering of old men moaning about the fact that world is not the same as it was when they were younger is hilarious. Even more hilarious when they then boast of how great it is to be an immigrant in another country whose citizens don't enjoy the same freedoms and privileges that we do.
