Election Year or Fear!

Tricky, you can’t return calling people ‘left wing planks’, then mention respect and expect people to take you seriously.

I don’t think anyone on here doesn’t believe that immigration isn’t an issue that needs addressing, some of us are just a little more thoughtful and compassionate about the problem than others.

Neither is it RUK’s obsession with immigration that makes them racist…it is the willingness - desire even - to adopt an anti Muslim stance at every opportunity, to blame everything on immigrants, to adopt the tone that the newly elected RUK Sunderland councillor did towards Nigerians etc. that makes Reform UK racist.

Personally I’m not particularly ‘left wing’. A little left of centre maybe but only a little. I just can’t get wound up about the (approximately) 1.5% of the population who are here illegally. Of much more concern to me is the amount of wealth owned by a similar percentage of the upper echelons of our society. That, to me, is much more damaging to society as a whole.
