Thanks for telling me who to vote for in my own Country.

I thought you guys got annoyed when Brits told you to do that....

And this belongs in politics.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Britain, the kingdom that colonized most of the world in the previous century, is not an important country anymore. But some national elites, including Britain’s, suffer from an acute version of this delusion and think they are important.
@DogMan Your point being?

Why are you still crying about colonialism? 🤭
DogMan · 61-69, M
@BritishFailedAesthetic I'm all for Colonialism, only the left wing hates it. The world was a better place
when Britian colonized parts of the world. One glaring example is Somalia, it was a nice place when the
Brits ruled it, now its ranked among the worst in the world.

Although I do recognise the basic sentiment underlining your comments, I like to point you to how the Celtic people of the island were and are still treated. They were in fact the first inhabitants of the isles. Can't say that anyone immigrating after the Romans were ready to be assimilated, au contraire actually

@val70 the Celts weren't the first inhabitants of Britain, not even close.

@SpudMuffin Is anyone going back before the Iron Age then? Poor sods that we are who think that it's all about people's culture today

Let's restore spelling first.

Rupert Lowe is already an elected Member of Parliament. He has achieved little in that position other than compiling a list of schools in his constituency where teachers are supposedly biased against him. In March 2025 he was suspended from Reform UK for allegedly bullying its chairman, vocally supporting the serial felon "Tommy Robinson", and sarcastically likening Nigel Farage to "The Messiah".

In August 2025 he mistook a boat crewed by charity rowers for a migrant vessel and nearly caused a major incident by encouraging like-minded folk to shine torches in the rowers' eyes.

Prior to entering parliament he was a merchant banker who did very littlw to assimiliate himself into society. He has also complained that an MP's salary is too low and proposed incresding ot to £250K.

Smashing fellow.

@SunshineGirl Well you better do something, or you will collapse

Great Britain is on the brink, facing poverty and riots while Bangladesh dominates headlines as India's neighbor. London remains a playground for wealthy Indians, but riots in the UK reveal deep poverty and despair among the white majority. The country's economy heavily relies on London, exacerbating income inequality. Academic research points to a growing underclass, leading to comparisons with Victorian-era poverty. Political decisions and slow economic growth contribute to Britain's struggle with poverty and inequality..

Well at least your underclass is growing. I guess that is the most Britain can ask for when the
left is in charge.

@DogMan Growing wealth inequality has nothing to do with immigration.

If you are at all interested in this issue, you will welcome the government's abolition of the two child cap on social welfare payments which will lift 500,000 children out of the official measure of poverty.

See what good things can be done without shouting at foreign people.

@SunshineGirl UK unemployment is rising, with the jobless rate increasing to 5.2% in the three months to October to December 2025, the latest official figures show, as other indicators point to a labour market that is losing momentum.

Too many people, not enough jobs. But just keep letting the boat people come in.

I don't think that is even Rupert Bear's argument. He thinks that large numbers of migrants are a drain on state resources. He is right to the extent that large numbers of unprocessed asylum applications are a challenge, but he repeats the falsehood that migrants are eligible for "free housing" and generous welfare.

Employed people generate jobs through their own consumption. We have an ageing population and require more workers to support the economically inactive elderly. The two major drags on economic groeth right now are:

(1) Restrictions on the movement of goods and labour occasioned by Brexit (which the current givernment is addressing).
(2) The current tenant of the White House who perpetuates economic abd political instability through his reckless disregard for international treaties and the rule of law.

Meagre growth prospects
Despite Ms Reeves’s ambition for growth, the OECD projects that the economy will only grow at a modest rate and will stagnate even further in 2026.

Growth in 2025 is set to reach 1.4 per cent, a slight uptick from the OECD’s previous projection of 1.3 per cent. But growth next year is forecast at just 1 per cent, below what the chancellor would have hoped.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
@DogMan And if we make immigration any more difficult than it already is, you can kiss goodbye to those modest gains.
DogMan · 61-69, M
@SunshineGirl The problem isn't with making it more difficult, it is letting people in illegally
everyday. There needs to be rules. Rules need to be followed.

LONDON (AP) — U.K. government figures Sunday showed nearly 1,200 migrants arrived in the country Saturday in small boats from France across the English Channel, the highest number recorded on a single day so far this year.

Resistance is not futile, you will not be assimilated, the technological and biological distinctiveness of the host nation will be adapted to service you.

Reverse Borg?
that ship has sailed..
