    This whole “no right to be here” thing is such bullshit. The ones that are working here in jobs that aren’t cash in hand already have the right to be here.

    Almost nothing will change. It’s completely performative. And the result of it will be that the seething gammons stay seething because they’re still going to see exactly the same number of non-white people everywhere.

    Only bullying these people into shutting the fuck up will work but instead Labour are trying to appease them until they get bored and that will NEVER HAPPEN. There’s no opposition.

      I know it’s ancient history to the people who say this kind of thing but: have you ever heard of the British Empire asshole? Any opinions on red jacketed nonces traipsing across the globe killing everyone they could? Preaching to the choir here I know, but this shit drives me up a goddamn wall

      Didn’t this already happen with Brexit? I recall a lot of hogs gleeful to see all the Indians kicked out who were then shocked when legal immigrants weren’t deported for no reason.

        I mean, yeah, but Reform are promising mass deportations and concentrations camps for 600,000 people, “as a start” they say. Leading in the polls with that platform too.

    • i can’t accept the phrase “no right to be here” like the whole country is some exclusive, high society wedding party at an estate in the Edwardian period.

      like sorry for plunging the toilets without the proper breeding papers, your majesty.
