Simple and powerful little video

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.

History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

Powerful and uplifting stuff!

And if we go further back, most of those that remain would have to leave because those who hate, when they're rid of the first batch of targets, they'll go onto a new group.

Sadly I remember seeing a similar video during BREXIT, the evidence was publicly shown and ignored.

martandelus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cool! We need more of this kinda stuff to be popularized.

RW'ers don't understand what it would mean if they absolutely had their own way as they've been programmed into thinking. This is a nice way to make it simple to punch home that it means worse services.

very powerful

grumpygeezer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Superb! But tbh, this should be obvious to anyone with even the most minimal intelligence.

We need this sort of film in the Uk.

mrl55.bsky.social•2 days ago

Brilliant. Let’s do the same @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to show people the reality

That final clip is so touching

No one knows what, who they might need until the unimaginable happens.
I am so grateful for a multi cultural Britain.

Be warned.
Musk /Trump regime is currently "whitewashing" American history; slavery is denied, achievements of "minorities", including women are erased.
Nazis can't happen again

Bloody immigrants, we get everywhere😀

Racists and xenophobes (a significant slice of the population) will not be moved by this one bit.

irishdreamer.bsky.social•2 days ago

worse, they’ll say it proves “they’re taking out jobs!”

As if a gammon has the capacity to work in the NHS.

We were all migrants once

The Labour government should do the same sort of video. It’s powerful, and people remember pictures rather than words. But sadly they won’t, because…

ladygoonerlon.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely they should! The narrative on immigration needs to change. A video like this highlights the effect on specific areas.

simona62.bsky.social•2 days ago

Totally agree. Immigration should be celebrated, not demonised.

arcadianvision.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm not convinced that this will have the desired effect on those it needs to
It is more likely to reinforce their views.

Together you are vibrant and energetic.

Unfortunately that exact same video will undoubtably be used by the racists as 'proof' that those immigrants are taking all 'their' jobs etc, the same old racist screed that's been used to make ordinary people fearful and to turn on others for centuries.

Most of those are white. Our issue is a hatred of foreigners but predominantly non white foreigners. Summed up by lady on the radio who voted for brexit because “there are too many brown faces in the local supermarket” - too stupid even to know that Asia isn’t in the EU. I still despair, 9 years on.

faithjoc.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is brilliant. However I fear it is one of those videos that would appeal to people on both sides of the argument. We think it is wonderful and showcases the benefits of immigration and the far right will use it to prove that there are too many immigrants stealing their job.

irishdreamer.bsky.social•2 days ago

Farage fan boys won’t be moved by this sadly. They would literally see the NHS collapse and their Mum die because of it than accept that a foreigner has any value.

gusbeare.bsky.social•2 days ago

But the hard right lot would be happy with that. You know how racism works. "Throw them all out as long is it isn't me or my family". This is how Braverman and Patel think.

daveacoley.bsky.social•2 days ago

Brilliant 👍

It would be the same in Canada where #Trudeau introduced some of the harshest legislation ever to deter migrants, foreign students and refugees.

newtongrunnion.bsky.social•2 days ago

That was made by clinic staff in the town where I live.

tomaszrykala.bsky.social•2 days ago

What we had instead was that Vote Leave lies filled video!

tomaszrykala.bsky.social•2 days ago

Which they have since deleted! https://youtu.be/Sbnvt52YTmc?si=kTyO2jPzOCr69U_n

If she was fine after a 5 minute lay down then perhaps she should not have gone and wasted the NHS resources. Typical right wing snowflakes...

Shame the labour party never makes this point

mrtonyj.bsky.social•2 days ago

I recently spent three weeks in hospital and if you removed all the immigrants you would end up with 90% of the patients and 10% of the staff remaining.

Always reminds me of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy where a planet died of a phone disease after sacking all the phone cleaners
