The amount and pace of migration to the UK is unprecedented

[teuchter]

Just so everyone is clear what the setup is here: if you respond to staker1 you are defending "middle class liberals" which of course is the opposite of what most people here want to pretend to do, but also the category which a large portion of urban75 posters perhaps fall into.

Of course, do feel free to respond to this provocation if you want to.

"Middle class liberals". Define it, isolate it and build bricks around it. It's important to simplify our terms

All your posts are provocations

You don't know them, and you wouldn't work in a care home anyway. Tell me I'm wrong eh?

Takes one to know one?

lol

You're parasite, not a warrior.

wow thanks!!11!

Woooooosh!

Send me round their house.

If they get out their cheap weed and if the line "Wow we must talk about that over dinner sometime!" is used, then that's a good start.

Right wingers would have a better grasp of the situ and simply get the lager out.

Ha.. But no.

I'm just wondering if he's working from his own book of cliches. Maybe compiled and exagerated from yesteryear Urban and reflected back as some sort of meta critique.

Cos no one talks like that IRL.

I work in an elderly care home in a tiny village in Devon, most of the staff are British (and all of the residents are) but on staff there are three Romanians, two Ukrainians, two Poles, two Portuguese and a Thai. Nobody's talking about too many foreigners.

Mrs Frank works on the dementia ward in Exeter and there's frequent racist abuse from the patients towards the staff. Mrs Frank is white but has an unusual accent so she gets shit for that too. I'd put them out on the street for that kind of shit personally but I guess that's why I don't run a hospital.

I think it may be a bit different in a care home, where residents are there for years and the staff almost become like family. But yes, it's a bit of a tightrope between dementia / mental illness / learning disability -vs- rude and abusive behaviour. Or, the Equality act -vs- the Care act / Health and Social Care act, and the various and sometimes conflicting obligations they impose. Like playing a game of Jenga, blindfolded, with odd-shaped blocks.

 

[Pickman's model]

yeah, sure. Why not.
I hope Britain becomes a country where its possible from more people to start from the bottom and be able to become millionaires

Only because you haven't thought this through.

 

[Pickman's model]

Boo hoo. Maybe spend more time judging the oldies than the newbies. Because the oldies are toxic.

But you're much better now you've stopped posting

 

[Pickman's model]

sigh -
fine, I'll just shut up then.

That would be best

I Think thats actually written in Urban's terms and conditions

I read a good article on the FT site . Can't link to it now because of the paywall (it was available as free when i read it).
The change in numbers entering the country are NOT due to Ukraine, Hong Kong, asylum seekers but for 2 reasons:
A) Business is buying visas for staff to enter the country under the current govt scheme. It's predominately nurses and care workers.
B) There's been a massive influx in students but this is less than A), I think you could partially put this down to post pandemic demand but it's still way more than 5yrs ago.

Which is a great example of demonstrating the absurdity of the entirely political agenda around the small boats etc....

Use archive.ph then, if the article is worth recommending.

pretty sure I heard gove saying small boats were a distraction on R4 sometime this week (could have been another liar with a similar voice)

The boats is a culture war wedge issue gone badly wrong for the Tories. I’m sure Gove and others would like it if everyone moved on and forgot all about it.

Bar the right of the Tory Party, the Tories seem fairly pleased with the 1.2 million migrants who entered the UK legally this year.

A new pool of labour to work in the precarious sections of the economy, students to prop up the financialised to the eyeballs higher education sector, and nurses and social carers to tend to those who nobody else can be bothered to look after.

Whilst i agree in the main with your post i take issue with this bit.....who are you talking about ?

Are you surprised that people voted in favour of Brexit, or traditional Labour areas voted for Conservatives, or people are increasingly buying into nonsense like "The Great Replacement" conspiracy? I fear that if social democracy does not enforce borders, Fascists will.

A 74 year-old grandmother and former proprietor of a traditional British fish and chip shop, who has lived in Britain for 42 years, has been ordered to leave the UK - after a Home Office email went into her junk folder:

The Home Office said it needed more evidence that she had lived in the UK continuously for five years.
