I suspect he does know what health insurance is. It's the uneducated idiots behind him that don't. Or rather, some will know, but believe Trump is able to turn water into wine.

Absolutely. There is no functioning British consulate in these countries, which is why they have to use small boats across the Channel.

They never go to church. The nearest they ever get to a house of faith is protesting outside a mosque!

Visa bans from Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan!! When was the last time anyone from those countries was able [let alone allowed] to obtain a visa to UK??!! I wonder why these are the people in small boats, rather than travellers arriving at Heathrow or Gatwick?!

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing

They are all such arrogant idiots. Can't be bothered to do even basic research, and when caught out by their ignorance, just get all angry shouty, especially when it's a woman that showed them up in public. Always the same. Just like their boss.

The police have already said they received an initial call at 00:45, whereas the farmer phoned at 01:46 according to the police. Darren Grimes and his "Iranian small boat migrants" must be wanting for the ground to swallow him up. And Tice, too, for agreeing with him. What a bunch of pillocks.

I don't need to 'formulate an argument' to counter someone using inaccurate 'facts' in theirs. Your error [deliberate or otherwise] was pointed out to you, and you haven't been able to disprove it.

DW69 @davewvero.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Even when presented with actual facts, you deliberately ignore them. Focusing on a tiny % of migrants and pretending they are the norm, & using them to base your conclusions on, is ridiculously disingenuous.

Why does it always take about 4 of them to detain one person? In UK two at maximum would suffice. Just thugs pure and simple.

In the past, I think we all thought "He knows what he's saying isn't true, but he says it to see if he can get away with it. And his supporters don't know that it's a lie". But now, you're correct, he is just monumentally stupid. We all know what the WH pool said; no one in the GOP will say a peep!

Might have done a bit of a rant at my MP. It's quite a nice feeling actually. Give it a go.
Dear Ms Dollimore,

The recent behaviour of a mob of organised men committing acts of public disorder, crimes, inciting racist violence, and yesterday actually slashing a rubber dinghy in the Channel with two RNLI rescuers still aboard it, needs urgent, visible action from our government, and from the police.

If Palestine Action can be proscribed as a terrorist group for causing property damage, then this gang of thugs has already gone much further. Local news in Gosport (link to the story provided below my signature), reports that a child in just such a mob was singing "let them drown" over a megaphone there, yesterday.

RNLI staff are suffering horrific harassment and assaults, and in some areas no longer feel they can work at all, which endangers everyone at sea. Our ports have been vandalised at Portsmouth and Dover.

Enough is enough. We either take action, or we cede this once inclusive, secular country to the hands of a narrow group of men, the leaders of which claim to be Christian (it is no brand of Christianity I recognise), who want this island to be only for white, violent, straight men in balaclavas to do with as they see fit. This isn't a British ethos: this is the ethos of every Russian mercenary. It has been promoted and pushed and egged and funded and nurtured by social media, where the racism, the hate. the disdain for our country's values is open and constant - and which remains unregulated to the cost of us all; and by the British media, also entirely unregulated (I suppose we could crowd fund some dentures for Ofcom but I remain unconvinced that it would know what to do with them), including those parts of it which are most trusted by the British public (link to BBC article below, where the thugs are referred to as if they are ordinary protesters, and a life-threatening criminal act in the channel aqainst RNLI staff is relegated to a brief mention in paragraph 15).

We used to hear "both sides" from the news. and even then, that was an absurd position, where only one side ever provided facts, and the other only ever provided feelings. We don't hear that any more. Now we only hear one side. it is the racist. hateful side. and it is framed, always, as "legitimate concerns".

They are not legitimate. We saw no village-wide protest from Piddington, when they had 2,600 mostly white young men in those barracks, and endured crimes, including rape, associated with those men. But 1200 brown men? Suddenly that's "legitimate concerns". It isn't. It's racism.We cannot predicate the human rights of a person upon the strong feelings of a group that hates them.

That is not how human rights work ir this country, or it didn't used to be. We have done precisely this to trans people in this country - handed their harmless lives directly to the tiny, well- connected, well-funded group that hates them most. We are now normalising racism in precisely the same way. This is going to destroy our society.

What we need from the government urgently is:-
• Press regulation, sharp-eared enough to identify a dogwhistle and bold enough to call it what it is: with the good of our inclusive society at it's core and meaningful punishments
• Social media regulation: frankly X should be shut down. and the embarrassing fact that we don't want to annoy the chief nazi because he owns Starlink needs to be faced, because X's continued influence or our society must end. Facebook isn't much better: regulate them or end them.• We need clear, unequivocal statements from our PM. and from our MPs, about the fact that this is racism and terrorism. It is not "legitimate concerns".
• We need these Blackshirts and their leaders proscribed as terrorists, and sentenced accordingly
• And we need a concerted public information campaign to offset the colossal, constant untruths the press and social media have propagated: our society has hardly any crime. Refugees aren't disproportionately criminal. And tell people what benefits refugees get because it's shockingly low and people believe utter nonsense they read on Facebook. Educate people! We used to have incredibly effective public information films on prime time TV - I'm old enough to remember when drink driving went from "a bit of a laugh, ho ho ho evervone does it," to "nobody does that now" virtually overniqht, because of such a campaign.

I realise government is hard, and that our current qovernment is tasked with undoing 20 years of utter incompetence. But that must start from the basis of British values. "Respect and dignity" isn't an idea. It's an action, taken every day, it's the courage to stand up against hate, every day, and to call it what it is and to say the uncomfortable thing and sometimes, yes, the unpopular thing.

I hope that our government has this courage. I have not seen it yet,
Yours faithfully,

It means "When they complain about the high prices, we tell them that we can't see what they're talking about because we're looking in a different place to where they're looking. It's real easy to do. Just glaze your eyes & stare into the distance".

Unfortunately, there are plenty of people, many at lower end of wage & tax spectrum, who think there's absolutely nothing wrong with people like JR living abroad, avoiding paying as much tax as possible, whilst being reliant on services of the state [education, health etc] to supply him with labour.
