And another one..

Farage and Trump are populists

Populism shares a number of features with fascism.

Just because you are ignorant of the facts doesn't mean its not happening
A fox looks similar to a dog, but calling it a dog is totally incorrect.
So you want the UK to be like the Taliban.
Twisting words, usual communist tactics.
 
Not every, but a lot, terrible isnt it?
" a lot" does not a measurement.

There are about 110,000 asylum seekers

So far this thread has found a half a dozen cases of violent assault....maybe 20 covering all reported cases.

20 divided by 11,000 is 0.002%

Do you think 0.002% is "a lot"

If you think my figures are wrong you are welcome to provide alternative ones

I agree that even 1 case, is too many, but this thread is about a narrative being creates by Bodd, . etc

Here are features of right wing populism that are shared with fascism:



Key Overlapping Features
  • Nationalism & Nativism: Both champion an exclusive, homogenous national identity, viewing outsiders/immigrants as threats to national culture and security, leading to strong anti-immigration stances.
  • Anti-Elitism: Both rally "the people" against corrupt, out-of-touch elites (media, establishment politicians, globalists).
  • Authoritarian Tendencies: Both favor strong leadership, order, and decisive action, often appealing to traditional values and societal discipline, though fascism seeks total control (totalitarianism).
  • "Us vs. Them" Mentality: They use Manichean rhetoric, dividing society into "pure" people (nation) and "corrupt" outsiders or elites.
  • Historical Nostalgia: Fascist movements often romanticize past national glories, a sentiment echoed by some right-wing populists who idealize a purer, pre-globalized era.
 
Serious question for you spline regarding all immigrants

There seems to be 2 different issues.

1 those already here
2 those arriving

What and how do you suggest stopping these issues ?
 
"He touched her waist and tried to kiss her"

Clearly a very bad thing to do, frightening for the girl and potential for it to have escalated.....but not really "horrendous".
She was 12 mate. Groping or grabbing a 12 year old. How can you play this down?

He finally slipped!
Quick, remove your post notchy!

Leftist liberal communists have their brain wired wrongly.

I myself have posted on here with posts intended to inject a bit of balance e.g. yes migrants commit crime, however so do Brits, and the migrant numbers almost pale into insignificance.

Nevertheless, I do feel government needs to sort the migrant issue out. And, for me, that would mean stopping the boats and ensuring our entrance criteria for migrants to remain is a lot more stringent.

Would actual crime numbers decrease by much if all the illegal migrants weren't here? Nope. However for me it's a point of principal. Secure borders and a much more efficient processing system.

The old adage is true. We have enough issues as it is without adding to them.
