Come on now, admit it. All you who defended the Brexit vote - are you not just a teensy weensy bit fed up with how we have been lied to, over and over again?
It started with all that bollocks about £350 million being given to the NHS after the exit, and now it has developed into the current Home Secretary saying that there were no targets for numbers set to send home illegal immigrants, then changing her mind by saying that - yes, actually - there were and still is, and these target have been in place for years. Hundreds of British citizens have been all but ruined by Theresa May's and David Cameron's sordid attempts to hang on to power.
No matter what your political affiliations are, this is a bloody shameful place to be.
The UK has sunk to depths which would have been unthinkable only a few years ago.
I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks of Jeremy Corbyn. How can this entire country be effectively run on a system of damage limitation?
We need another INFORMED referendum
ReplyDeleteI agree. but things will be pushed through under the pretext of 'the people have spoken' in order to save and maintain even more jobs that are currently occupied by those who are not qualified to carry them out.
DeleteWe rail against the wind. Over here, where we surely will replace Trump, how can we ever undo so many years of intolerance and racism.
ReplyDeleteIn defence of the famous Brexit Bus, it states 'We send the EU £350 Million a week, let's fund our NHS instead'. Nowhere did it say that ALL the £350 Million would be going to the NHS; there is education, defence, and social welfare to fund as well. But no doubt the NHS will get a good share.
ReplyDeletep.s. I voted 'stay'.
Small print writ large on the side of a bus.
DeleteIs this worse than Blair? No. We don't count the body bags coming in every night at Brize Norton.
ReplyDeleteWhat has that to do with it?
DeleteIt relates to the heading lies lies lies.
DeleteOh I see.
DeleteMore a case of money bags going out to the EU
ReplyDeleteI am probably going to get the bullet for this but....
ReplyDeleteTo me there is legal and illegal immigration.
Someone (with or without a family) that arrives for a period of time to study or work and does not renew their permit to stay is 'illegal'.
People living in France who are not EU members have to renew their permits.
Do people think ill of this when it happens here or in the US or Australia?
I was specifically talking about the Windrush generation - the West Indians who were actually invited here 70 years ago. Of course I believe that immigration should be controlled here as it is everywhere else.
DeleteWhy should we not create a hostile environment for illegal immigrants? This is what the 2014 legislation did. The Windrush boarding cards were not destroyed at the request of Theresa May. It appears they were not destroyed at the request of Alan Clarke either. The destruction started in 2009 under a Labour government. However, Alan Clarke said he did not sign anything. It appears that the Border Agency decided for themselves to do it.
ReplyDeleteI am not talking about illegal immigrants and I am not blaming any particular political party for this shameful stuff. I despise the far left as much as I despise the far right.
DeleteTest
ReplyDeleteI just lost a long comment so I had to test it before trying again. The point in leaving the eu is that we can vote people out. We have no power to vote out the commission and its thugs. All politicians lie, we can fire ours. Embrace that as a positive.
ReplyDeleteTest.
DeleteAh. that worked. If we fire the lot, there are no civil servants left to run the country.
DeleteWhat is remarkable is that so many people would still vote for this government. I am still trying to get my head around it.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter who you vote for, the government still get in.
