OUR POST OF STARMER IN MAY 2024 ATTACKING THE TORIES FOR CONSIDERING THE CANCELLING OF WINTER FUEL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONERS HAS BEEN REMOVED.
CLEARLY SOMEONE DOESN'T WANT PEOPLE TO SEE THIS, EVEN THOUGH STARMER'S CHANCELLOR ACTUALLY DID THIS 60 DAYS LATER! YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO!
I don't have a phobia...so why am I seeing minority ethnics on all TV news shows, ads, game shows etc etc taking over...almost making me develop a phobia...against the media. I never cared what colour or creed a person was, but when PC takes over, I find myself counting colours.
At Christmas, we're advised to say "Happy Holidays", so as not to offend non-Christians...so why

@BorisJohnson
et al are you not treating Ramadan with the same logic, particularly as UK is not (yet) a predominantly Muslim country.
Watching ads on TV, you'd be inclined to think that inter-racial marriages in the UK were the norm. In my experience...and I have a wide circle of friends/aquaintances from varied backgrounds/ethnicities...it's definitely not the norm. Anyone else find these ads OTT???
@SadiqKhan
"Let's be honest"? You've turned London into a dirty, over-crowded, over-priced, crime-ridden cesspit. Nothing to do with Brexit....So, yes, let's be honest...with you as Mayor LONDON ISN'T WORKING!
How crazy is this: UK can send troops to Polish border to help stop their invasion of illegal migrants...but they can't, or aren't allowed to, intervene to stop their own country being invaded???
I’ve received several threats to myself & my work because I present evidence based facts on the unfairness of male inclusion in Women’s sport. Which is biological sex based decriminalisation. I will not stop bringing these actual facts into the light or be bullied into silence.
Someone on BBC saying it would be cruel and unethical to send an Albanian to Rwanda...but, according to many (Sadiq Khan comes to mind), multiculturalism and diversity is "wonderful"...so why not promote it more in African nations? Or, is multiculturalism just a one-way street?
We're in a pandemic, recession, unemployment galore...the least we could do is stop illegal immigration! We know absolutely nothing about these invaders...it's ludicrous that 500+ a day are being allowed into a country fighting for its very existence
@pritipatel
If their country is deemed safe, why not repatriate them? Shouldn't granting asylum should be short-term with the goal of returning refugees to their homeland so they can be reunited with their families and help to rebuild?
Do they hand out Union Jacks on St George's Day, Easter Eggs at Easter, Poppies on Remembrance Day, Pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, Turkeys at Christmas...anything British in fact?What's so special about Ramadan in a non-muslim country? Do they hand out Stars of David for Yom Kippur?
Supermarket workers, bin collectors, bus drivers, delivery men, postmen etc etc...all doing their jobs without complaint or furlough...what's so special about teachers???
Many lamenting the fact that Sweden has voted for a right-wing Government. Whilst it might not suit their personal opinions...who are they to criticise a Swedish democratic vote? And, nothing wrong being right-wing...the left-wing have shown the Swedes they're not up to the job!
@GBNEWS
Oh, no, please not this again! The whole nation supported Sabina's family...her colour and nationality had nothing to do with this horrendous crime. The perpetrator, on the other hand, came to UK from Albania illegally in the back of a Lorry...that had everything to do with it!
I am so deeply, deeply saddened by the tragic news that Sir David has passed away. He loved being an MP and was a great public servant. It is just awful. My thoughts and prayers, and those of all Londoners, are with David's loved ones at this time of unimaginable grief.
Why aren't the Police dispersing them? They're supposed to be asylum seekers, not protesters. What right do they have to protest against anything when they arrived illegally?
If they're Nigerians, why are they wanting refugee status in Europe? The Ukranians are fleeing from their own country, students, tourists etc...no matter where they came from...should contact their own embassies/consulates to assist them with flights home.
Genuine questions for
@PritiPatel
and
@BorisJohnson
...why does an asylum application take so long to be processed? And, secondly, why is a rejected asylum request allowed to be challenged? Simple enough questions, aren't they? Please keep the answers simple and to the point!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Scotland have a Referendum on this...you know, that "once in a generation" one? And, didn't they voted "No" to independence...so what's your point???
Just a thought
#PritiPatel
@BorisJohnson
...how about we ban hotels from housing illegals and make them StayCations for elderly or needy? Three meals a day and all the mod cons? Why not??? The Government is happy to pay for illegals, so why not its citizens?
An MP on the Home Affairs Committee has told Priti Patel that the public are horrified that former military barracks are being used to house asylum seekers.
RIP Sir David...some very moving tributes to him in HOC. But, where was the outrage that this was an Islamic terrorist attack? Praising the innocent victim is all well and good...but was the perpetrator even mentioned? Why is the terrorist attack being down-played?
@BorisJohnson
As an MP in the UK, there is only one language applicable...and it's certainly not Urdu. If you want to swear in as an MP in Urdu, you should really think of applying for a job in your heritage nation. MPs work for all the citizens of the UK, not only those they identify with.
Languages represent who we are
I recited my Parliamentary oath in Urdu, to honour my heritage & promote diversity within Parliament (we still have a long way to go)

So, as the UN has elected and welcomed Pakistan to its Human Rights Council...does this now mean that any Pakistani asylum seekers, illegals or criminals in the UK/Europe can be safely repatriated or deported to their homeland?

Am really nonplussed when you cite "racism" as the reason this pair are not liked. Meghan was welcomed with open arms when she married Harry...her mixed race was never an issue at all. So, what changed? Perhaps their "tell-all" Oprah interview, "her truth"...her "true colours"🤔
If Muslims want to adapt to the British way of life they will accept this with open arms. We are a Nation of animal lovers accept this or leave and go to your own country. Animals MUST be slaughtered HUMANELY
Good God...just fallen out with two nieces because they've found out (I told them) that I voted for BoJo...well...thank you all my Twitter friends for your support ...you can choose your friends...but...even though you love them can't change your family! Merry Christmas xxx
OK...straight question: So long as we have homeless and waiting list for housing, why are we accepting illegal immigrants and putting them up in hotels? Genuine question.
London, as the capital of England, is visited by the entire nation and many many overseas tourists. They come to see the buildings, statues, museums, art galleries...to experience historic and traditional British culture in general. Is Khan trying to erode everything British???
I've been asked by many women sheltering underground in Kiev to share a message with you: If you see a tweet from them, please respond, even with just a pic or a few words...our messages are really appreciated and keep them going throughout the long nights. Thank you.
The EU are apparently condemning Belarus for pushing migrants towards the Polish/EU borders...but, where is their condemnation for France doing practically the same thing? They might not be exactly "pushing" their migrants towards the UK, but they're certainly not stopping them.

Totally disagree with this war-mongering. Zelensky and his cronies are safe in their bunkers...cluster bombs will escalate the war and more civilians, on both sides, will be killed. Get back to the negotiation table...you know it's the only solution if you want to avoid WWIII.

The contempt is all for the protesters...they just don't have any answers. And, why the heck are they wearing face covering? Cowards too🤔🤔🤔
Why are Nigerians demonstrating in London? If they love their own country so much, why don't they go home and demonstrate there? The UK cannot interfere in another country's politics...and this is really flouting the lockdown rules.
I really do not get this...France is an EU country (second in command to Germany)...So why would refugees want to leave France to get to the UK???? What am I missing?

Boris never said it was a resignation matter...it was Starmer who insisted it was, non-stop in fact. Labour used it as an attempted coup...and now it's backfired on them. Isn't Karma (or even Korma) wonderful.
I've seen so many of you are switching to Parler...and have absolutely nothing against it...but, for the moment at least, I'm sticking to Twitter and keeping up the good fight against those who want us gone! Anyone with me?
OMG...the booing of Millwall fans for (both) teams taking the knee has sent Twitter into total meltdown. Lineker and Rooney calling them racist...all kicking off (excuse the pun)!. They're football supporters, not political activists, but they've set a precedent...Buckle up!
So, if I'm not BAME or LGBT, I'm suddenly a second-class citizen and these minorities have more rights and opportunities in the workplace than I do...please tell me just why?
Anyone watch Questiontime?
Not even one question about Chinese Spygate...just Boris bashing by all but one on the panel...even M&S changing their name on their sweets was obviously more important!
Now, here's a question: If our (wonderful, as we've recently seen in Kabul) Armed Forces do not require a uni degree to enlist, why should our Police Force?
I've backed Boris through thick and thin...have been hounded and maligned for doing so...just like many of you. It's about time he started to back those who supported him...if he doesn't, afraid he's lost my support.
More begging ads on TV asking for charity to stop young girls being forced into marriage with men more than three times their age...My question is: Why does the UN not put a stop to this? Many of the countries where this is practiced are also UN members. What use is the UN?

Anyone who can't see that this is blatant cheating needs Specsavers! Why on earth don't the genuine female athletes, who've trained for years to be competitive in their sport, band together and condemn this nonsense? If Trans folk want to compete, give them their own category!
Islamophobia is something created by muslims who refuse to integrate/want their own laws. UK has bent over backwards to accommodate them, but it's never enough. Any criticism of Islam is deemed racist...but not when they persecute/insult Christians...UK is not a muslim country
OMG...Labour throwing every sob story at Boris...a last-ditch attempt to oust him! They refuse to discuss the economy or Ukraine...I'm embarrassed for them. How Boris hasn't retaliated about Starmer, Sturgeon and others equally "breaking the rules" is more than commendable.
Afraid I don't trust any of these "big" Charities...not only for this sort of thing, but also for the obscene amount of money paid to their fatcat directors.
If illegal migrants, however they got there, are allowed to remain in the UK, and Legal Aid steps in to stop deportations, why would anyone use the legal route? Giving amnesty to illegals would just make a mockery of an already broken immigration system. HO must get tough.
