Reply To: “Illegal” immigration

[Bucksiron]

The usual suspects in their element. I’ve never had a problem with immigration, but the self-righteous nonsense coming from the left just reveals how naive and dishonest they are.

Naive because whether anyone, including me, likes it or not there’s no question that immigration at levels we’re now seeing causes huge problems for our own population by putting additional pressure on public services and housing. It’s also totally naive to claim that all immigrants who come here are honest, hard-working individuals fleeing appalling conditions. Many are not and anyone claiming otherwise is just sticking their head in the sand. As for dishonesty, of course there are racists — unfortunately there always will be — but the vast majority of people against immigration aren’t remotely racist. Saying otherwise is just one massive lie.

The irony in all of this is that the majority of people you’re all complaining about with regard to views on racism are normal, working fold whom the left claim to be supporting. This is why it creates such a problem for Starmer and the Labour party, which won’t go away just because he’s PM.

As for Gary Lineker, every single person I’ve heard speak out against his comments has made it very clear that he’s entitled to say what he has, regardless of whether they agree with him or not. The problem is that the position he holds has been built on working for an organisation that is meant to be impartial. If Lineker wants to say what he does, fine, but then leave the BBC.

It doesn’t surprise me in the least that some on here believe Lineker was making a ‘fair observation’. Why? Because they’re ignorant bigots with zero understanding of history. The irony, as so often happens, is unbelievable. Far from showing true compassion all they’re actually doing is diminishing the memory of the millions of men, women and children, disabled, Roma, gay people and others who suffered torture and horrific death. The comparison is repugnant.
