It's why he asked me to put him on ignore today...that's his standard when he's lost the debate. Throws his toys out the pram and gets annoyed that I've not got him on ignore.

Why don't you put me on ignore? It's why you went into hiding for a long time.

Sorry, have I misunderstood something? What did you mean then?

"I think kids dying is acceptable collateral as long as they are poor kids with feckless parents..." And you wonder why we think you're a cunt.

But all my friends are moving to Dubai because inheritance tax innit.

🥱 Don't be such a snowflake

Using the word "colonised" points to that for me, so have to agree to disagree. But yes, immigration is too high and integration is too low. As said above, I don't think anyone is arguing against that.

How's about you fuck off full stop, be best for the whole forum?

But his point is not being argued, his wording is.

You are the one that replied to me. Thought you wanted an answer?

Shush, men are getting angry for no reason!

Fucking hell, if that's what qualifies as a joke in your household you must all be a barrell of fucking laughs. "Let's all laugh at interracial couples, hohohohoho." Do you laugh when you see them in the streets as well?

Why don't you post some hilarious and poorly referenced memes/opinions from "X" to prove your point?

But Ratcliffe did. No-one disagrees with the integration and general immigration issues as far as I know. However, that is not what he's being asked to apologise for, he's been asked to apologise for using the word "colonised". Unfortunately, yet again, you miss the point.

That these places have been colonised over the last 5 years? No, I do not. "Colonised refers to the state of a land, people, or organism that has been settled, occupied, and often subjugated by a foreign power or species. It involves establishing political, economic, and social control over an indigenous population or territory." Stupid word to use.

Using the word colonised points to a time where indigenous people were taken over by whites. The use of that word was not an accident. The fact many anti-racism charities and think tanks are having a go points to this as well.

Just messaged one of my mates who lives out there, apparently workers hours are being ramped up as well (they were bad enough to begin with).

Where did I put this on you? I'm talking about what Ratcliffe said.

Well, it's not a generation ago, it's 5 years ago apparently. Again, if you don't like brown people then people shouldn't have voted for Brexit.

Considering we've had the Tories, who are all about the economy according to our resident back-of-fag packet economists, presiding over all those years, I think it shows two main things: 1. It doesn't seem to matter who's in charge - as long as you don't do anything particularly batshit mental (see tax breaks given by Liz Truss and supported by multiple on here and in the right wing press) then it doesn't overly matter what you do, it doesn't make much difference. 2. The reason for the above, and I've said it multiple times in reference to interest rates, is that due to the truly global market we find ourselves in, economic performance is down to external factors. What we need to do is invest massively in technology, and ensure we keep our services intact. It's why being part of the EU, and keeping our trading hub away from Frankfurt is so important. One of the businesses I advise for had seen four quarters of single digit falls in sales, but over the past year has seen that building back up. Was the reason the change in strategy the board implemented? Most of the board like to think so. However, our fall in sales and subsequent upturn correlate pretty much exactly with China's economic performance...

And yet, it's the highest annual growth since the COVID bounce-backs in 2021 and 2022 (which was a net 1.6% over 3 years including 2020), and about equal to 2018 and 2019. Welcome to post-Brexit Britain GDP growth.

That's the problem when your only source of news is "X".

Wowowowowowowow

Has Keir lied?

Is it the same with Basketball, Baseball and Ice Hockey?
