I had the misfortune of catching a small pride celebration at my local park this morning which seemed to involve a transvestite playing a saxophone while the rent a mob that arrive on a rainbow bus dance around.

Nobody else took any notice of what they were doing.

Call my cynical but it I was gay having to witness these events would be enough to turn me straight.

That performance has very little to do with the vast majority of gay people.

Does seem to be turning into a freak show. Not sure where but there were naked old men walking about and riding bikes. I'm not against naturists, but surely there are places for them, that doesn't include city centres.

We need to host straight pride to celebrate being straight. I’ve taken to telling everyone I’m straight, eat meat and my chosen pronouns are he/him

That's fair enough particularly as straight people and meat eaters have been discriminated against for centuries.

In this day and age it’s prevalent

Who cares about history, if folk looked to the future rather than the past perhaps all this mental fkeitrery would stop

I’ve got 99 genders but male ain’t one.

Men pretending to be women to compete agains women

Men pretending to be women winning woman of the year

Dylan I’ve got a dick mulvaney pretending to be a woman in the most patronising way, celebrated and gets an audience with the president

Vegans protesting and ruining peoples businesses or nights out

Schools hiding gender agenda from parents, confused kids being manipulated by activists with an agenda.

Its mental but as long as it’s protected by an acceptable agenda to the delusional it’s ok

We need straight thinking pride, a march where vegans, gays and real transgender folk (those with full biological surgery) can feel safe to talk out about this ridiculous state of affairs

it's utterly irrelevant what has happened over however many centuries as the people alive today did not benefit from whatever that was, or perpetrate it. The only thing that matters is today.

Illegal immigrants should be allowed to work, and pay tax into the public purse rather than being a drain on the system
Employers are moaning they cannot find workers.
If you pay into the system we will consider your application after a period of say 5 years, if you refuse to work your application will not be considered.

Businesses should be fined large amounts for employing illegal immigrants.

Right to stay in any country should also hinge on the ability to communicate, at the very least, in a rudimentary fashion in the national language

It's lucky we never had that rule years ago, or we would never have had an empire.

Yes and we should have marches in support of the oppressed hetero sexuals and of the oppressed carnivores who have their dinners spoilt by vegans

Erm... what if you are both correct.

Ultimately there are two ways basic to arrest illegal immigration,
1. Make it legal, make it easy to get a visa, then we can set terms for entry, work type et al. track them, collect taxes and if they break laws, kick them out.
2. Punish the people who employ them. This is the way that we tend to do it in the UK but the UK does not have a large land border with a developing nation. In somewhere like the US, they don't do this mainly because it means punishing white male business owners.

These two steps working together are even better, I don't see why they should be mutually exclusive.

What we should not be doing is wasting billions on locking them up in hotels, floating hotels, island prisons or trying to send them off to 3rd world countries who will just get rid of them after we stop paying (likely, before we stop paying them). Asylum seeker should only be a temporary status for a short time, process the application, follow the rules and regulations so we can quickly determine if an application is genuine, if so grant asylum, if not deport to their country of origin.

If anything, we should be building kind of halfway villages where asylum seekers can learn/improve their English, learn about and adjust to our culture and customs. do jobs for actual money and have interactions with normal British people in order to prove they genuinely want to join our society.

But I suspect this is all far too logical and reasonable, thus will be shouted down.

Sounds like what passes for family entertainment on the BBC nowadays.

My unpopular opinion is that I'm sick of minorities dictating to everyone else what they should be saying and doing. fk that.
