Immigration debate is now a stain on our national moral conscience

We’re now at that point of the not-so-great immigration debate where mainstream political leaders are committing to sending refugees back to the Taliban to be slaughtered, to the unbridled glee of a bloodthirsty minority that think “our” is spelled as “are”, and painting a red cross on a roundabout is an act of revolution not seen on these sewage-ridden shores since the English Civil War of 1642 – 1651 — thought to be around the time Reform UK and Tommy Five Names wish to take Britain back to.

This elite-backed and elitist-fronted ‘moral revolt against multiculturalism’ is a hugely embarrassing stain on our national moral conscience. Be in no doubt of that.

A betrayal by Labour over immigration

During the 2024 election campaign, Labour emphasised creating “safe and legal routes” as part of their plan to address the small boats crossing over from France, reducing those perilous Channel crossings that risk the lives of the passengers and the heroic souls that are tasked with rescuing them.

At no point did anyone in the Labour Party suggest they would attempt to out-Reform the Reform UK headbangers, did they?

An immigration bidding war between Starmer and Farage that ends with a Taliban bullet to the back of the head isn’t quite the patriotic look that we should be aspiring to, is it?

Why are we even attempting to have this debate on Nigel Farage’s terms? Because he’s been on BBC Question Time almost as often as David Dimbleby?

The Reform Führer simply peddles poisonous, opportunistic, uncosted hogwash, with a huge dose of populism, carefully wrapped up in a Union flag.

If this is all it takes to float the (small) boats of the hard-of-thinking right, it’s not going to be impossible to sink them.

The British media — who have always got a good word to say for the testicle-chewing monster — want you to believe the rise, and eventual success of this toxic nationalism is an inevitability.

It isn’t.

Flagshagging ahoy

A handful of dopey-arsed flagshaggers with the Winston Churchill/Richard The Lionheart/St George Cross/Reform UK social media profile photo is far from representative of the people of Britain.

Granted, the government’s catastrophic handling of just about everything it touches — particularly the crass and deeply immoral way they have dealt with the debate around immigration — has fanned the flames of discontent amongst the racists and bigots in our communities.

We have seen this sort of nationalism dressed up as patriotism before, haven’t we? They select a minority group, paint them out to be a threat to our way of life, or in this case, our ‘Britishness’, and the rest is all about raising flags and turning up at rallies to scream something about “protecting are girls”.

The fact that the British government, a Labour government no less, thinks it can go toe-to-toe with the likes of hateful little shit heads like Farage, Tommy Five Names, and whoever the Tory leader is these days on immigration, is as worrying as it is sickening.

That’s their MO, Mr Starmer.

A Labour government is supposed to stand at the other end of the political spectrum and offer an alternative to this loathsome, divisive style of politics, not join in with the populist hatefest while the far-right push our national flags down the same route as the Swastika.

Human rights lawyer? Pull the fucking other one. ‘Sir’ Starmer is a vainglorious, entirely disingenuous fraud, living off past achievements such as, erm… *scratches head*… his mum working for the NHS.

Ugly scenes

The ugly scenes in Epping are set to be repeated across the country in the coming days and weeks. Patreon Prince Robinson is banging the drum of hatred and violence and the middled-aged minions, desperately trying to relive their football hooliganism days, march along to every single beat, ready to throw a quick Seig Heil, because they’re proud to be British.

I’ve never worked that one out.

The billionaires and their useful idiots have done a fucking fantastic job of radicalising the people with the very least to turn them against the refugees and asylum seekers that are being stored away in these hotels.

Had your local Holiday Express been rammed to the eyeballs with white Ukrainian refugees, do you think the South African, Elon Musk would be tweeting a St George cross and complaining about the downfall of democracy in the UK?

Do you think the EDL fascists with the Nazi Germany ideology would be lining up in the hotel car park, pitchforks in hand, demanding Sergei from Kyiv is sent back to the front line to face the full force of the Russian bear?

Do you think this toxic, corrupt corporate media, owned by foreign billionaires and tax exiles, would be offering a free 40:1 scale replica of the late Queen’s coffin and a lifetime’s supply of Chinese-made, St George flags to the first person that sets fire to a hotel full of refugees, if they just so happened to be white?

Immigration: a national scandal, but not for the reasons Reform says

Reform UK is currently riding high in the opinion polls for one very good reason. I know that every single Reform voter isn’t a racist piece of shit, indeed, some are economically left, it just seems apparent that every single racist piece of shit is likely to vote for Reform UK at the next set of elections.

Finally…

At this moment in time, it is not appropriate or sensible for the British left to engage in these internal disputes over ideological purity. I’m talking about Your Party. Diverting any focus from our broader objectives will only serve to undermine the absolute unity that is needed to effectively address the urgent, pressing challenges that we are facing today.

I’m glad I got that off my chest.
