However if that's your opinion, based on what ever newspapers or news channels you watch, then that's your opinion

It doesn't mean it's going to happen

My ex used to say that all dog owners should be put up against a wall and shot

It's not hard to ignore people when they're saying extreme things

Ok, understood. :thumright:

I just used to call him a "fascist pig" (as a matter of fact) and then we'd dance the night away

I find the US-Russia summit that happened in Alaska as sickening. I never would have thought to see a US President give in so quickly to Russia. I pray Ukraine dosen't give in and hope President Zelensky tells President Trump he is not giving in tomorrow.

Yeah mate^

I do understand the frustrations of the protesters outside the immigration hotels but what I struggle with is; where are they all going to be housed if these injunctions get passed

I'm thinking it might be best for all concerned if things get left as they are

I mean the bloody government need to shape themselves over this issue

I don't think it's fair to demonise the protesters anymore than it's fair to demonise the immigrants

So you can see how I'm torn

Epicureanism is possibly one of healthiest philosophies to follow. Likely one of the hardest to master as well.

I always like to think I'd like the thought of community policing
But when I think back to when it was, I don't think I did

Farage and Co playing fantasy Nazis and looking for "the final solution"

Oh my cod!

^ Yep. That might be funny if it wasn't true.

He really is a nasty, dangerous piece of work and aiming to be the UK's Trump.
I read somewhere that "illegals" (aka "people") are just 3% of total immigration - not quite the catastrophe he's trying to project.

Everyone's definitely going to vote for Farage. I don't know what to do. It's going to be dreadful for the poor and the minority groups. Yet people on Facebook public posts call everyone who votes labour a leftist or stupid. I'm not a leftist but I'm still going to vote labour in the next general election.

Crap, I hope not. 8O

I think his desperate populism and "back of a fag packet" policies should be enough to sink him - he never gets far when closely questioned and like the idiot Johnson, just blusters.

People do love a bit of rhetoric
but I'd like to think we're not so gullible a nation that we would fall for such nonsense, when it comes to casting votes

Let's hope the new generation of voters will do something to shift things in a better direction

^ Yes, and yes - particularly the newer generation of voters.

But it still worries that Johnson was allowed to go on for as long as he did.
Hopefully that's a lesson learned.

I was wondering why illegal migrants who made it all the way to France would want to risk it all by attempting to cross the channel to England.

Is England really so much better than continental Europe?

I wouldn't have said so

I think some people may already have family here or they've been sold a lie
