Have you ever wondered why so many Brits are covertly or even overtly racist? Could it be that the MSM whips up xenophobic hate towards non whites? Who by the way, according to the last census, only makes up 6% of the entire UK population...SIX PERCENT!

Why is everything in the UK so flipping expensive? Where I live in Andalusia I can buy bottle of decent wine in s'markets for 1.95€, menu del dia 10.95€ (3 courses incl beverage) tapas is FREE with every drink, bus fares up to 50kms 4€ and HRT *on prescription* is less that 5€'s for ALL 3 hormones!

UPDATE - this little one is actually a BOY! Confirmed by the vet. He now has his Green Passport. Estimation is he is 12/13 wks, which means he was only 8/9 weeks when he was dumped!! Please, if anyone in/around Nerja would like a kitten, please PM me. I've called him Pringle 🤗

In 00's, working for Police Eng & Wales, I was shocked by attitudes of some cops towards others. Mostly in custody suites. Anyone arrested was routinely treated with disdain. Why? Day in day out cops see 10% of a population who cause 100% of their work! Attitudes/opinions/beliefs warped by just 10%

Oh look! Ed Davey challenged Keir Starmer to change course on Brexit, suggesting there are major political and economic gains to be made by doing so. “Giving our economy the boost it desperately needs, pulling it out of the cycle of low growth and high debt that the Conservatives plunged us into''.

My housebound 85yo, dad, accepted being classified by his Govt as CEV during Covid; he diligently got all his vaccinations - but now stretched District Nurses struggle to give HB patients all their jabs; dads GP has asked dad to get to a remote surgery despite dad being told he is "unsafe" outside?

Yeah but....with a bunch of corrupt media barons, in the pockets of an equally corrupt Government, they are (both) capable of warping the minds of a beleaguered, deprived, undervalued nation of angry citizens - making it easier to blame "johnny foreigner" for everything they don't have! *THEY LIED*

Interesting Convo with neighbours (German & Belgium). They had no idea (zero) that there are no legitimate was for people to seek asylum in UK unless they set foot on UK soil! They felt UK is being 2 faced compared to rest of EU & they didn't think their countries were "overrun" so how can UK be?

Turns out "they" can fool most Brits, most of the time! Unbelievable stupidity, which begs the question why? Why are Brits so politically naive? I suspect Red Top Rags might have something to do with causing so much ignorance - people believe it's true because it was in their paper *rinse repeat*
