Re: Protests. Stay Safe

Isn’t it nice to be able to label people in such derogatory terms? Rob I know that it isn’t you applying these labels.

Yes of course there are some who want to fight that are jumping on the bandwagon.

I do not consider myself Far Right, but I worry about the numbers of single men who make their way through safe countries, risk their lives in the channel, pay thousands of pounds for that risky trip to come here.
These men do not integrate well. They do not subscribe to the way of life here.

None of the politicians have listened to, or acted on the concerns of the general public.
This new government is showing signs that they will grant an amnesty to those who are already here because doing anything else falls into the ‘too hard’ basket.
These people who have landed in boats (having destroyed their documents) are an unknown quantity. We do not know if they pose a risk of terrorist activity, or if they are criminals but the hand wringing liberals still see them as victims.

The government is happy to fork out 7.9 billion pounds to look after these incomers, but will not support the people who worked to enhance the fabric of society..people who worked , contributed, paid taxes, but this winter will be denied their winter fuel allowance.
Pensioners are an easy target aren’t they?
They do not evoke the sympathies that illegal male migrants do.

I won’t be anywhere near these protests, but in my heart I half understand them…but not the violence…definitely not the violence!
