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

It's the Frogs we should be at war with more than 1,000 migrants crossed the English Channel in small boats on Friday, September 19.

The latest Home Office figures showed 1,072 made the journey in 13 boats in just one day, taking the number of people who have made the crossing so far in 2025 to 32,103.

Starmer needs to tell Macron to stop the boats leaving Calais or our Royal Marines will do it for him. They are also prepared to remove his wife's tackle too.

It's all very odd mon ami, they're coming over in their thousands, spending a fortune, risking life and limb, the vast majority leaving their beloved wives and families back home, so desperate are they to set foot on Treasure Island.

And yet, in darkest Bolton, your brown skinned taxi driver daren't let his children out of their house at night in fear for their safety.

Something doesn't quite add up mon ami, what am I missing here ?

I don?t think you?ve missed anything have you sinkov. A lot of people are making a lot of money out of this unlawful trade in human cargo. Is it any wonder so many boats are being waved off without hindrance from France?

On a separate matter it seems the Lib Dems having wrapped themselves in the EU flag of blue and gold stars for so long have suddenly discovered that it is another flag we love. Our own. I am not one to query but I wonder why Tim Farron chose to wrap himself in his Blackburn Rovers/St George for the occasion of their Conference to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory.

Nothing mon ami. The whole shebang is a dystopian nightmare.

Which rational rightminded government minister would house these undocumented visitors in hotels? It just does not add up.

We must have hundreds of disused aircraft hangers available. Get some port-a-loos set-up, sleeping bags and soup ******** set-up ASAP.

It is not right our kids feel unsafe on our streets and places like Bournemouth are overrun with young male undocumented immigrants who, no matter their intent are very intimidating. I saw it two years ago when me and my son had an overnight in the town when we went to watch the Clarets take on the Cherries.

I fully understand the rampant NIMBYISM and the fluttering Union Jacks. It's hard not to.

Sometimes you have to see the real thing mon ami, I had this daft idea that if I was confronted by any of them I'd sort them out, even at my age. Then a month or so back we turned a corner in Amble and were confronted with three of them walking down the middle of the road. The best description I can give of them is they looked like Orcs out of Lord of the Rings. Dirty, loud, aggressive, they looked simply evil, and I have no doubt they could have made mincemeat out of me inside 30 seconds and not batted an eyelid. They totally ignored me and Mrs S and walked on by, leaving me thinking thank god for that.

sinkov, there are lots of them in this neck of the woods now. Quite a number of the working mens' clubs have closed down over the years and have been or are being converted into houses of multiple occupancy and are full. Also there are quite a number of houses which have been commandeered and are full.
Many of our local towns have houses which must belong to "Cannabis 'R Us' with the amounts being found.

We have reached a point BT where no-one feels safe on the streets. In no particular order we will not forget the victims of the Manchester arena attacks, the 7/7 bombings in London, the murders of Jo Cox & Sir David Amess in their own constituencies, the murder of Stephen Lawrence at a bus stop, the targeting of underage vulnerable girls by Asian grooming gangs in multiple British cities, the murder of children in Southport. I could and everyone could cite more and more examples. And our Prime Minister that jackanapes Sir Keir and his Government don?t have a clue as to how to keep the streets safe but to hold up our flag and say we can?t let the far right take this. People are angry all right and it is their Government or the sheer lack of it they are looking at.
