The Magic Of The Cup

Migrants will need A-level standard English to work in UK The tougher rules will come in force in January as part of wider plans to cut immigration.

Looking forward to this applying to the English as well. Unemployment will hit about 15 million.

And if, for the sake of argument, Nottingham Forest or Millwall or Walsall or Doncaster don't get a licence, then what? Close them down?

I think they need to be seen off before then, and I think if you throw light on their lies day after day after day, rather than all too often buying into their narrative and banging on about small boats which are wholly irrelevant, there's a far better chance of doing it.

We've been able to talk about it for years. Labour have just been too gutless, despite the catastrophic effect on our economy, culture and general ease in which we live with one another. While Farage, Jonson & their scummy ilk were the instigators, Labour carry blame for not showing its failings.

I would have loved an album of this stuff.
We really are in the twilight of the Gods.

And so by the use of plumbing, we hope to demonstrate this to the world...

Frisky Galore, surely?

The English have always been small minded, Johnny Foreigner haters. That was suppressed for years by politicians on all sides who wouldn't tolerate it. From the moment Mandelson got Brown to apologise to 'that bigoted woman', the genie was out of the bottle. If you can't see that, you're beyond help

While the next 4 years are going to be bad enough, I live in fear of the next GE in four years time. God knows what psychotic shower or coalition will be in charge after that. It's hard to see a situation where the UK doesn't descend into civil war

Meanwhile Mahmoud isn't going to pause her attacks on immigrants - including presumably Jewish ones - who have done everything lawfully to stay and contribute to this country. Verminous hypocrite.

Like that's going to happen.
A large chunk of the English electorate are a cancer on the country, on the UK and increasingly on the world. And I speak as somebody born, brought up and living in England.

Given Carlos Alberto's goal has been voted out - the absolute pinnacle of human artistic existence - I can't take this seriously any longer.

Entirely correct. People have no understanding of the climate of fear Labour's chasing of the Reform vote & Mahmood's diatribe yesterday creates. My European wife came here in 2016, finally got her ILR in 2023, now we have to wonder if that is going to be taken away. By a LABOUR government!

Increasingly the question for the average progressive voter is going to be 'why are they going to take votes off one another and come in fourth again?'

I take your point, but how can we ignore the fact that someone who benefited from that privilege now wishes to take that privilege away from someone else. That is fundamental to the argument, it IS playing the ball to point out that she, above all, should know better.

Another one of the 'up with the drawbridge' clan, following Patel, Badenoch, Braverman. Mahmoud is clearly in the wrong party - as is about 90% of the PLP.

We are about 20 minutes away from an immigration version of this. Remember how that ended?

I say it a lot, but...

All that was ever required for the 1930s to return was that enough people who lived through them, and the consequences of them, had died off. Here we are, bang on schedule.

To complete the circle of your posts, Margaret Thatcher. The old witch has been ruining the country for 46 years now. Make the experiment stop.

Exactly this. The calculation is that just as in '24 it was 'get the Tories out', in 29 it will be 'keep Reform out', and Labour will get the grudging win. But they won't, because four more years of this will get rid of even the voters who voted Labour last time.

A lengthy, but very necessary thread, from one of the millions of immigrants into this country, who have given more to it than any Farage, Tice, Jenrick or, yes, Starmer ever could.
Read and share widely.

Shabana Mahmood to demand migrants earn right to settled status New tests will include learning English to a high standard, paying National Insurance and not claiming benefits.

Starmer finally calls Farage racist and immoral, and then we get this.

How many of the Farage army speak English to a high level while looking after 'are cuntry'? How many volunteer for anything (flagshagging doesn't count)?

And pay NI but don't claim benefits. What?

UK faces ‘battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the ‘politics of predatory grievance’.

“Let’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: “Stop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying ‘stop the bullshit’.”

I wouldn't disagree - my only quibble is that it's the English for the most part, not Britons. And I say that as somebody English, born and bred.

Burn every bloody flag on the planet and let's start again.

How far are we from #FaragesFinalSolution ?

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Delighted to launch my latest book, THE SLUM SPORT - the story of the 1985/86 Football League season, as told by those who were there.
