Britain appears to have a large number of racists. Love him or loathe him – Farage does appeal to a large number of people. His latest statement regarding repatriation of legal migrants will cause much despair amongst migrants, liberals and employers. His exclusion of European migrants maybe due to self interest, his wife is French, or it is just recognising the perception of many ‘working’ ‘non-working’ class Britons. His claims that the savings would be £230bn at least needs examination. Is it a misconception by me that migrants are a positive force for the economy? Expulsion would basically be determined by skin colour.
He is also willing to ignore demographic facts. We have an ageing population – who is going to work in care homes, the NHS, agricultural seasonal workers, construction and hospitality industries? there is also the growth of blatant racism to consider – the flag shaggers are not doing it out of loyalty to this country – but to intimidate and make foreigners (especially of colour) unwelcome. This country depends on trade and developing new ideas/products. We do much of this via universities which can attract the brightest students. Would these mega brains want to come to a country in which being different is seen to be detrimental. The LGBTQ communities and individuals beware – they will be after you next!
The vision of 800000 people being forceably removed is horrific. Why forcibly? How many will voluntarily leave their homes, jobs and friends to return to a country which is much poorer, will not welcome them, and they will have nothing? I am sure the flag shaggers will offer to take the role, like concentration camp guards. They will be like the Gestapo rounding up peaceful hard working people with little care for documentation – like ICE in the USA. Is this being doom-mongering – tell me then how else would this repatriation occur? Already it seems that raids looking for illegal immigrants are not on leisure spots or night clubs, but on workplaces.
So Reform – stop winding up the population of losers and do something positive? Perhaps stating ways in which we could cut the number of sick people (by this I mean actually sick people rather than racists and misogynists and child abusers – many of your supporters).
