I keep saying this. You can get the net migration figures down, increase violent deportations and do press releases, treat people seeking asylum more abominably, and Nigel Farage’s fans will still be fuming because they saw two Muslim women on the bus. They want ETHNIC CLEANSING. - ThreadSky

Important always to remember that the people spearheading the hatred of “mass immigration” think that the ideal number of non-white immigrants in the country is zero.

Just look at how the Democrats supported draconian anti-migration legislation, ran a campaign based on how tough they'd be on immigration – and just ended up fuelling the Trump campaign's position that the Democrats were "soft on immigration"

Exactly. You cannot take their arguments in good faith, because they are not being made in good faith. They’re reaching for excuses to justify their irrational prejudices. You can’t reason with the unreasonable.

It will never be enough. Same for the existence of trans people.

coreysoper.bsky.social•24 days ago

This whole move is predicated on the fact that the Daily Mail will give you a fair hearing if you just do what they want and...lol. lmao.

I went to school with some
card-carrying BNP members. Someone got one of them to pin down exactly who they thought should be deported- the answer was anyone with ANY nonwhite or non-British ancestry whatsoever (no matter how long ago), as well as any practitioners of a non-Christian religion.

radekcdydd.bsky.social•11 days ago

Wait does that mean deporting Anglo-Saxons?

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

so this was circa 2000, so home DNA testing kits were not a thing, but his argument was that if someone researched their family tree and found a single ancestor from outside Britain and Ireland, even if it was hundreds of years ago, you morally ought to be deported from the UK

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

obviously this would create an incentive against researching one's own family tree, but he didn't seem to think that was a problem (I guess he thought that if you're the sort of nerd who would do that, it's your own fault you got yourself deported?)

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

so yes, I would imagine his argument would be that very few people are provably Anglo-Saxon, but if you're one of them, then gtfo back to Saxony???

radekcdydd.bsky.social•11 days ago

The Anglo-Saxons arrived a few hundred years ago so if I guess if you're descended from them you're an outsider!

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

he was then asked what should happen to British Catholics- he screwed his face up in an expression of intense concentration, then eventually said "nah, they can stay", in a tone suggesting he thought he was being incredibly magnanimous by not deporting them 🙄

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

anyway, there's a reason why I don't go to school reunions- so I don't know where these people are now. Haven't specifically spotted them at any anti-EDL protests 🤷🏼

joing.bsky.social•24 days ago

Exactly. Farage will never be satisfied.

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

I find it really depressing that Farage's career wasn't sunk by that interview years ago where Farage was asked what the difference is between his German immigrant wife and kids and the immigrants he wants to ban and he lost his temper and yelled "you know what the difference is!"

joing.bsky.social•11 days ago

Is it this?

phragmosisjones.bsky.social•11 days ago

I mean, that was also the interview where he slandered 'Romanian men', so let's not be so hasty- he hates many white people too! 🙄

radekcdydd.bsky.social•11 days ago

They probably think Romanians are "swarthy"

vaelis.bsky.social•24 days ago

Exactly the same in the US. “Illegal” simply means “POC who should have never been let into white america”. You can violently deport as many people as you want but the first time someone as much as hears or sees Spanish on a sign or a black person standing around they are livid again.

Starmer’s increased deportations barely caused a ripple. And this is why you should never give these people an inch as the endgame is horrific. Instead, today Starmer attacked the Tories from the right on migration numbers.

marcusjdl.bsky.social•24 days ago

As far as integration goes: whilst I have some aspects of Caribbean culture - food, music, some character traits, family dynamic - I’m basically British unfortunately. However the far right shits of Twitter were still telling me to “GO HOME” on a regular basis

marcusjdl.bsky.social•24 days ago

Almost as if it isn’t about integration and cohesion - a profoundly dishonest discussion - and more like they don’t like non-white faces isn’t it?!

marcusjdl.bsky.social•24 days ago

unless you’re out here looking like Mariah Carey they simply do not give a shit about your place of birth or your white parent.

radekcdydd.bsky.social•11 days ago

And we're not even mentioning migrants who pass as white. So many European migrants had to hear anti-migrant hate from their British "friends" and when they went "you mean me then?", the racist Brit gives the game away with "oh but you're alright!"

radekcdydd.bsky.social•11 days ago

In my experience, nothing makes white privilege more obvious than being a migrant from the third world but looking pale as fuck.
