Actually, Siderite, I criticise the Tories a lot and if you check back over my posts you’ll see that to be the case.
Yet again, however, all I see here are the usual levels of abuse about ‘non-caring’ Tories, liars, etc, etc, etc, along with Lineker’s appalling comment about the Nazis, which of course he’s entitled to make but which I’m just as entitled to comment upon. Those attempting to defend him should think very carefully about the impact such comments have on diminishing the level of atrocities committed by the Nazis on millions of people. It really is repugnant and to say that it’s “fair” reveals a great deal about anyone making such a claim.
What I don’t see are any comments on how to address the problem, other than saying it isn’t surmountable. Well, that’s sorted it, then. Jeez, just how ridiculous can you get. It’s also highly disingenuous to come out with absurd comments about Government ministers not caring. Of course they care and claiming otherwise is just another example of the gutter comments spouted by the left. Frankly, the only people lying here are those who make such ridiculous claims.
The other thing I don’t see anyone talking about is why people want to come to the UK in the first place. Given how appalling this country is and how wonderful things are in the EU, according to you lot, what exactly is the incentive? Yet people are risking their lives and paying ridiculous sums of money to get out of France to come here.
The truth is that countries such as France have an appalling record of looking after migrants/immigrants. For all of the problems we have in the UK — and I’m not diminishing them for one moment — things are far better here than they are in many other countries, including a lot in the EU.
Criticism is easy and the left is very good at it. Solving real problems is difficult and I doubt very much that Starmer and Labour will fare much, if any better if they win the next election; and for all the doomsayers, it remains if. Immigration is a massive issue that Labour can still screw-up.
