Why is it only ever Remainers who froth about immigration policy?

We need immigrants, and now can draw from the whole world on an equal basis for those that we need, some of which will be in highly paid roles, and some of which will be in essential, lower paid roles.
Point of order, I'm not a remainder (nor left winger).

I do take issue with people who say they stand for one thing then do another, though.

Apologies for a couple of clips though I imagine the full interview will be online later.

I do like Naga Munchetty.
No, I really did watch the same interview, and your links don't in my opinion contradict what I've written.

I can understand why you like Naga, she does tend to lose it when interviews don't go in the way she would like them to.

It's because the false stereotype / strawman is easier for remainers to argue against, and may provide some comfort in times of brexit grief through the illusion that those who think differently to them are aaaawful.

Thank you for posting those links.

IMO, Bradley should hang his head in shame and so should anyone defending him. Bradley's mental gymnastics to weasel his way out of backing up his very own words are astounding.

Fair enough.

I also take issue with people like that, but I think that government policy is to have greater control over immigration so that it matches the country’s need, rather than being against immigration per se.

If you think that's a bloke "handling the interview quite well" I'd love to know what you think a bloke handling an interview badly looks like hehe

Were the "old" immigrants doing the low-paid work not good enough in some way?

Is Boris attempting to re-toxify the Tory Party?

Twice in the past 24 hours, non-political friends of mine have used the expression "Tory Scum" - I haven't heard that expression for many a year

He really needs to sort out the PR around starving kids. With all his COVID and BREXIT woes to deal with, of all the hills to choose to die on, starving kids, surely the most avoidable.

Not really. We've covered three issues this week, and two of them passed without great controversy. This last one has been a different kettle of fish though - not only completely untrue claims about my beliefs, but also suggestions I'm mentally unwell, deplorable and so on. I'm beginning to suspect certain posters bear a bit of a grudge about something... what do you think?
I think you make a real effort to act like some sort of world-weary, Realpolitik sage who cuts through the emotion and noise and just sticks to the facts because you’re all grown up and not swayed by public opinion. You see through all that.

The thing is though, is that sometimes it makes you come across as a bit childish. Like those computer geeks who live with their mums but quite from the Art of War to show how worldly they are.

It’s ok to be outraged and outrageous stuff sometimes and I think a bit of humanity would go a long way to stopping people calling you names.

If you’re bothered that is, but why moan about it if not.

Tuna, i wouldn’t take any notice,

It’s the same old technique of identify, isolate, ridicule, de-platform through a ban because you are clearly a ‘Troll’.

You are literally killing children with your every post in this thread.

You remind me of an old Uni friend who could never understand why every time he went out, someone started a fight with him. He just never figured out what the common factor was.
And you and you mates remind me of playground bullies.

It's very mild on here - you should see some of the hounding, abuse and de-platforming that goes on on the Brexit thread...

Here's Naga losing it with Ben Bradley.

'Crack den' tweets 'taken out of context', MP says

Odd that he should have deleted his tweets rather than explain the context.

Ben Bradley epitomises the very worst of tory ideology, he should resign immediately. He is an utter disgrace.

My mates? Ok.

I’m afraid I’ve no idea who you are, but unlike Tuna, I couldn’t really care less what I remind you of. I’m not the one crying about people calling me names.

Off topic a bit but I look at the front pages of the Newspapers on the BBC every morning and the Daily Star seems to have become very political this year. They are like the Daily Mirror now but with more girls with big T*ts.

Any story there?, Boris annoyed the proprietor in some way?

I don't think he should resign as an MP simply because of his views and opinions.

At the end of the day he's been elected so it's for the local electorate to form a view on that.

He's got previous for things he's said in the past and they still voted for him.

The obvious explanation rofl

Nobody could possibly be genuinely interested in scratching beneath the surface and seeking understanding, it's clearly an act! Stick to emotive, specious arguments Tuna, like the rest of our GoodFaith™ posters. Bonus points if, when challenged, you just say that you're not bothered enough to actually read up on it (and then proceed to make another 40 specious surface level posts on the same topic) wobble

Please, please stop typing.

I realise you are just trolling for reaction, but using the very real problem of food poverty to do that is a very bad reflection on you.
