Hi, haven't kept up but I heard a blip on the radio that they are blaming Native Brits for this?
Really?
WTF!

The most significant event being "the Battle of Orgreave" on June 18, 1984.
You seem to have a very low opinion of ordinary British people.
We should be sending weapons aide packages to the British people instead of Ukraine.

Of course.
I'm not the one casually dismissing their grievances and calling them 'racists' and 'knuckle draggers'.
I'm not the one showing such pompous arrogance spouting sanctimonious claptrap.
You're the one who is openly stating that they are easily manipulated and controlled.
But its far easier for you to think that than accept that maybe, just maybe, they have legitimate cares and concerns that have been ignored for far too long.
I can't help but wonder what the reaction would be if all these illegal immigrants etc were placed in the more affluent areas of the country rather than the inner cities, urban former industrialised towns and traditional Labour areas.
I can just imagine the outrage from all the champagne socialists, wokerati, trustafarians etc.
The FACT is people are #ing angry; they are sick to death of being ignored, taken for granted and spoken down to by entitled, pompous, self-indulgent do-gooders who assume they know better.
Starmers lack of acknowledgement that people have well founded grievances and his insistence on mislabelling them as 'far-right extremists' is simply fuelling the flames and the sense of disenfranchisement and abandonment that many feel.
Instead of standing up for core traditional Labour voters he's #ting on them from a very great height - there will be a reckoning.

I lived through those times over here and don't share your rosy opinion.
