Farage on swans - is he right?

[Notch7]

Mottie and Highwayman, note that in the Simon Webb video there are signs on a canal instructing people not to take fish away. These signs are only in foreign language. Such signs are not needed in "high trust" societies such as ours used to be. And it's taxpayer's money being spent on signs.

JP we are not "many parts of the world, we are superior".

Some tik tok rando


The photo of that sign was loaded onto shutterstock in 2017

The sign was probably put up around 2005 when Polish were arriving.

It was on an archway in Slough



This is a perfect example of how people like Spline are easily taken in by fabricated youtube videos by propaganda spreaders.


Don't be like Spline people.

remember, it was Farage who first brought to light immigrants in boats landing on the south coast

It was widely published in the media years before Farage went out with his Fisher Price binoculars

Britons suddenly forgot their culture after 50,000 years

We were cavepersons then. Not sure living in a cave is relevant to most of our lives ...

Indeed. It was a good 5 years before Farage started going on about it - he happily ignored it when it wasn't needed for his political career, as he was a happy member of the European Parliament raking in a nice little salery.

Farage first started talking about boats in 2020.
Farage left the European Parliament in ... checks notes ... 2020.

Wow, you're onto something there!

No, I'm joking.

Number of illegal boat immigrants in 2018 - 299
Number of illegal boat immigrants in 2019 - 1,807
Number of illegal boat immigrants in 2020 - 8,673
Number of illegal boat immigrants in 2021 - 29,620
Number of illegal boat immigrants in 2023 - 45,808
...

Given that, can you think of another reason Farage started talking about boat immigrants in 2020?

If anyone's thick enough to fall for this sort of politics, they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I'll say again, if migrants are lifting and eating swans and the like, if found guilty they should be dealt with appropriately.

However, in the interests of balance, UK born folk are horrible to animals in all sorts of different ways. They're maybe not lifting and eating swans, however animal cruelty and death isn't exactly an uncommon occurrence here in the UK, carried out by folk who are born here

UK born people who mistreat animals are already here, why add to the problem (if there is a problem)

I think you're missing the point, which is their entire culture is not ours. It's more like ours was 5,000 years ago, and in many ways worse.

They're eating swans - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're sexually assaulting women - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're groping girls in playgrounds - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're crapping on the street corners - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're fighting each other with machetes - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're walking into people's houses and helping themselves - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
They're stripping naked on the Tube - "Yes, but it's only a few of them doing that."
etc.

There has been a very recent incident of fish taking from a UK fishery, I think it's near Burnley - not sure as I cannot find the info.
(TBF I'm not spending any time looking for it).

Almost irrelevant to my point.

Of course we don't want to exacerbate issues, however it's the blatant intent by the likes of Reform to lump migrants into a homogeneous group. Logically, it just doesn't make any sense. However, some seem to fall for it, even though it's a trope that's deployed every decade or so.

It's like Trump referring to those coming across the US border as 'murderers, rapists, nasty nasty people. They're emptying their prisons into our country!'

Will some crossing the US border fall into these categories? Of course. The majority or almost all as Trump would have you believe? Nah.

If anyone falls for that sort of rhetoric, they're thick.

Almost lol at those protesting outside the migrants hotels under the banner of keeping our women and children safe. Really? What about all the women and children set upon by UK men, sometimes their own dads etc?

AI tells us:

• For all child sexual abuse: Recent estimates state that about four in five victims knew their abuser, with one in five incidents committed by a stranger. Other reports note that up to 90% of sexually abused children were abused by someone they knew.

We don't know who they are some are really nice some are not, don't let any in until we know for sure.....anyone who cant see that is thick...

Eh?

Oh no no no. Not according to Farage, Tice, Yaxley-Lennon, Hopkins et al. Migrants are scum best kept out. Then, hooray! Utopia!! No crime, no sh1te services, no long NHS waiting lists, no housing shortage, no lack of jobs, no harm being done to 'our women and kids.' Hooray!!!!

Are you on crack or something?

 

[pete01]

This is my opinion, they all cant be bad but we just cant risk our women and children being at risk.....if 1 child gets abused it's one to many, when we didnt need to let them in...but thats just me I suppose...

 

[pete01]

I honestly cant believe people excuse immigrants abusing children....

And the excuse is most people who get abused knew their abuser......

Well f**k me sideways.....
