The leftys have done stuff in equal measure too, but dont get arrested for it.
Only now, like the 500 arrests of pro Palestine protesters peado terrorist sympathisers in London and 200 odd in Manchester is it happening cos Kier is worried about the next election already.
His arse has gone cos hes seen the country turning to Reform and now hes decided to act in a panic.

:hehe:

Brave old Rupert with another bit of rage baiting, hoping his prey are too thick to do any critical thinking.

It's almost a guarantee that they're not doing any thinking, critical or otherwise.
 

If you are concerned about this it means you're a far right racist, so probably best to look the other way because you wouldn't want the critical thinkers to call you a racist now, would you?

All part of the plan Gareth.

As long as we’re all squabbling with each other over left and right then nobody’s looking at the real culprits. Incredible to think that social media has been engineered to create a whole generation of thickos who are completely unable to see where the blame actually lies.

Sympathetic to refugees - you’re a wokey lefty paedo sympathiser who should have one in your spare room.
Worried about immigration - you’re a thicko far right Nazi who wants to see them all drown in the sea.

Ultimately if governments wanted to deal with the issue then they could. Very easily. But they don’t. Because then it creates a convenient distraction from just how shit things are in this country for a lot of people and who is really responsible.

Over the years we’ve had black people, dole bums, single mothers, benefit cheats etc etc. - all used as a convenient scapegoat.

I guarantee that if people turned their social media outrage towards the politicians things would get sorted pretty sharpish.

Thing is though, calling everyone who has concerns about immigration gammon, thickos etc. makes you no different to the Nuggles of this world.

The reality is that plenty of people will have concerns. Maybe lumping everyone in with Rupert and Nigel simply pushes them towards them? Maybe instead of assuming everyone who has concerns is a thicko how about having a debate about it and answer why you think it’s not a problem? Maybe realise that shouting people down about their concerns makes it easy for people like Tommy Robinson to spread his bullshit when he claims he’s being silenced.

Or just carry on, and do exaclty what extremists on either side are hoping you’ll do.

Universal credit is a benefit you're not entitled to until you've been resident for 5 years. It's also a benefit you can only get if you're employed, so only open to tax payers. It's certainly not a benefit available to asylum seekers.

Rupert doesn't explain this because he's rage baiting, he's preying on those that either don't care or are too thick to find out whether he's telling the truth or not.

And here’s another one.

Doing exactly what they want you to do.

Ultimately some people are concerned about immigration. Some of those people simply won’t like brown people because they smell and talk funny. But not all. Some will be regular folk who don’t believe they’re racist but are concerned by whats going on. When they see thousands of young undocumented males taking over hotels up and down the country then they’re probably wondering why we’re allowing it to happen. Calling these people thick racists doesn’t do anything other than alienate the, and push them further to the right - usually on the basis that they feel that’s the only one’s listening.

Question for you: Do you have any concerns about immigration? Any at all?

You're missing the point I was making, Rupert is being ambiguous to make the hard of thinking think that boat people are getting universal credit. They're not.

1. You can get universal credit if you’re not working.

2. He didn’t mention asylum seekers - he said foreign nationals.

The bloke’s a prick but ultimately he’s praying on people’s concerns. If there wasn’t a problem then dicks like Rupert and Nigel would just be ignored.

Point 1, I stand corrected.

Point 2, if you believe he's not expecting this followers to make that leap then you don't know how all this works.

Whatever point he's making he's rage baiting racists for political gain.

Not missing the point at all.

If anything you’re the one missing the point. The point being that the current situation allows people like him to score cheap points. Who cares if those points are accurate? Ultimately it doesn’t matter if he’s embellishing his ‘facts’ because people feel as though they’re being dismissed as racist thickos and only people like Rupert are not afraid to tell the truth.

If the problem of immigration is being dealt with then people like Rupert would have no audience.

Of course he is. The bloke‘s a twat and he knows exactly what he’s doing.

But as long as immigration doesn’t get dealt with then he can carry on. And more and more people will take his side. Especially when they feel like nobody else is listening.

People don’t automatically have extreme political views. They get there as part of a gradual slide to one side or the other. Maybe if we deal with things properly then people won’t feel the need to slide?

But how is the problem of immigration being delt with by denying foreign nationals a benefit they've more than likely earnt due to having paid tax in the UK?

It's not addressing a problem, it's setting fire to something that isn't one to keep people angry about something else.
