We were in a shop 2 days ago on the east coast. The manageress recognised my wife’s accent & exclaimed “I thought I could recognise that ‘Lancashire lilt’, I’m from Burnley. We moved because (then in a lower tone said) because of the Asians.”I said “I’ve seen one or two Indian’s here but no Pakistani’s which is incredible at a seaside resort in summer you would expect to see folk of all ethnicities”.She said “It were terrible in Burnley. ‘They’ were grooming young girls but when you reported it to the police they did nothing. When they approached my 12 year old I thought, that’s it, we’re moving”.Then came the coup de grace because at this point she’s in full flow.“What do you do? You see Starmer, I can’t see him being owt. We need a ‘Boris type’. I know he messed up but I can’t do with Sunak. I’ve airways voted Conservative”.And there my friends you have it.‘Right wingers’ who believe the Tories are the only party who can ‘deliver’ any sort of curb on ‘phoney’ asylum seekers, Eastern European sex traffickers, British Asians who ‘alienate’ themselves from society. This woman epitomises the vast swath of voters who despite his past record of feathering his own nest, put a cross by his name at the last election & despite all that went on during his tenureship would no doubt have his ‘ilk’ back running the country in 5 years time.Despite his undoubted intellect, he lacks the one thing in a leader that the left have been crying out for years, charisma.That’s what the mainstream British public, in my opinion, crave.The wrong Miliband brother was nominated in 2010.‘Right wingers’ who

The people who still believe the word asylum seekers is a legitimate adjective to men who cross many safe countries to come here. The people who still think others are "right wing" for calling out that which has been proven-ie its proven that being scared of being called a racist exactly contributed to the grooming gangs. Most likely you probably think people are "bigots" for believing in basic biology and that gender can't be changed by wearing a frockBoz is a horrible man who eptimozes all politicians in general and more so those in the blue corner. But while anyone who is working class is called "racist" or "bigot" for simply having a different view it'll always be a laugh for them to sit back and watch as the likes of Boz get voted back in

You're totally right. They are all men of fighting age get off the boat and go directly to the benefits office. Next thing they are claiming for 15 kids and living in huge houses.
We were in a pub in Whitby yesterday ( new micro pub excellent btw) Nadine Dorris type woman and husband holding court at the bar, inside half an hour had bemoaned ' olk doing better for themselves ie living near her as " you can't take the estate out of the tenant ' and then as discussion turned to best Chinese to order from a choice of two sneered " one of those lot live near us" so good enough to serve them but not good enough to know who they actually are or live near her.We left as she started on how much worse it would get without a blue flag flying due to no Boris at the helm Unreal who walk among us

And for the umpteenth time ................''People seeking asylum are not allowed to claim mainstream welfare benefits in the UK. In most cases, they are also banned from working. They can access support in the form of housing and basic living expenses while in the UK through the Home Office'' .................... ''This means that the majority of people seeking asylum in the UK end up living on £5.66 per day to cover almost all their needs, including food, clothing, transport and medicine'' ............https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/facts-about-asylum/#:~:text=People%20seeking%20asylum%20are%20not,UK%20through%20the%20Home%20Office.
