      Well it really goes back to the establishment and media at the times of Enoch Powell. Most of Britain agreed with him, but Powell was cancelled and the opposite of what he suggested was done.

      They didn’t just let it happen. They actively pushed for it. Every government for the last 50 years have had immigration control as one of their manifesto pledges and then every government has directly contravened those promises and done the polar opposite of what the electorate expected.

However, unless you’re a criminal or associate with criminals, Sweden is a safe country. I don’t notice this at all, just stuff you see on the news. And above all, what’s most worrying to me about UK and not something we’ve experienced from the Swedish Parliament is the censorship and violation of free speech. It’s crazy!!! And really sad.

      Democracy….. ahhh. Don’t you just LOVE IT ! ? A land where government DOES what the people actually WANT & NEED ! Oh dear…You NEVER had that mate. NEVER will. BECAUSE…You have the WRONG political system. Maybe it was a good idea 300 years ago, but not for today nor tomorrow. It generally attracts the wrong sort of people for a start!. I mean, just look at their schoolyard behaviour where “point scoring” put-downs of other elected members of parliament is considered a “win”! Essentially most of them are “bully salesmen” who try to get their their persuade and bribe you, that ONLY THEIR ideas are great (vote for MEEEE). Sadly, ALL parties do the same - Was designed to be like that !! The notion that ALL the PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR NEEDS is not even considered!!. Another childhood dream is that “Competition” yields the best results! This has some truth, but only in the very short term!. COOPERATION YIELDS THE BEST CONTINUOUS SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS. JUST PROGRESS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
      Establish a national “Register of Visions” summarising the Will of the People. (Health, Housing, Education, Employment, Crime & Safety, Drugs, Immigration, Taxation, Societal Cohesion, Foreign Affairs, Welfare, Trade & Industry, etc etc ). A register Established at census time for each Voter - with real-time Web access for timely updates like Gaza, Ukraine etc etc ad nauseam. And don’t worry, AI will make short work of creating a succinct coherent unambiguous statement of requirements from the millions of Vision submissions! Certainly a BETTER WAY for the Nation. (Unless of course you are already part of the 1% thriving/thieving elite , then yes, you will experience a relative decline in your unwarranted privilege, decadence and legalised theft!).

Hitler also formed a special Army of highly trained officers to combat decent, he called them the Gestapo.

Unless the HO knows that they have previous convictions, they are not criminals unless and until convicted. And unless those previous convictions are of a similar nature to rioting etc. the courts are unlikely to allow the jury to consider them as bad character evidence. Lee Anderson is suggesting that the Home Office may be either prejudicing future trials or worse, in contempt of court. Another example of control freakery by the left.

    Some of the words here remind me of 1984, when Winston was reading 'the book'. It describes three groups: the high, the middle and the low. Historically, coups were carried out by the middle temporarily enlisting the help of the low to overthrow the high. Then the middle, having set themselves up as the new high, thrust the low back into their place. And so the pendulum swung. But now, the intention was to allow just one more swing, and then stop it, permanently. Worked pretty effectively in the dystopia described in1984, and sounds like a kind of prescient allegory for what is being described here.

    "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

      Chapter 29 (Tarantulas) from Thus Spake Zarathustra by Nietzsche:
      Otherwise, however, would the tarantulas have it. "Let it be very justice for the world to become full of the storms of our vengeance"-thus do they talk to one another.
      "Vengeance will we use, and insult, against all who are not like us"-thus do the tarantula-hearts pledge themselves.
      "And 'Will to Equality'-that itself shall henceforth be the name of virtue; and against all that hath power will we raise an outcry!"
      Ye preachers of equality, the tyrant-frenzy of impotence crieth thus in you for "equality": your most secret tyrant-longings disguise themselves thus in virtue-words!
      Fretted conceit and suppressed envy-perhaps your fathers' conceit and envy: in you break they forth as flame and frenzy of vengeance.
      What the father hath hid cometh out in the son; and oft have I found in the son the father's revealed secret.

      Is that the same Winston that engineeed the darddenelle defeat ? Democracy….. ahhh. Don’t you just LOVE IT ! ? A land where government DOES what the people actually WANT & NEED ! Oh dear…You NEVER had that mate. NEVER will. BECAUSE…You have the WRONG political system. Maybe it was a good idea 300 years ago, but not for today nor tomorrow. It generally attracts the wrong sort of people for a start!. I mean, just look at their schoolyard behaviour where “point scoring” put-downs of other elected members of parliament is considered a “win”! Essentially most of them are “bully salesmen” who try to get their their persuade and bribe you, that ONLY THEIR ideas are great (vote for MEEEE). Sadly, ALL parties do the same - Was designed to be like that !! The notion that ALL the PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR NEEDS is not even considered!!. Another childhood dream is that “Competition” yields the best results! This has some truth, but only in the very short term!. COOPERATION YIELDS THE BEST CONTINUOUS SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS. JUST PROGRESS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
      Establish a national “Register of Visions” summarising the Will of the People. (Health, Housing, Education, Employment, Crime & Safety, Drugs, Immigration, Taxation, Societal Cohesion, Foreign Affairs, Welfare, Trade & Industry, etc etc ). A register Established at census time for each Voter - with real-time Web access for timely updates like Gaza, Ukraine etc etc ad nauseam. And don’t worry, AI will make short work of creating a succinct coherent unambiguous statement of requirements from the millions of Vision submissions! Certainly a BETTER WAY for the Nation. (Unless of course you are already part of the 1% thriving/thieving elite , then yes, you will experience a relative decline in your unwarranted privilege, decadence and legalised theft!).
      At the moment, China looks remarkably democratic when compared with you lot !

      Let's get rid of all social policies then...the NHS, disability benefits, unemployment benefits, child benefit...all social policies I.e. socialism. Getting rid of social policies will not help working class people 🙃

      Churchill is a hero to many, but his views on socialism are somewhat slanted

    Thank goodness for David. Peter Hitchens doesn’t seem to make any sense any more and David is a true ray of light
