One of my ancestors grew up speaking a foreign language and living in this country. I'd ask him what he thought about this. Except he's buried in Imphal war graves cemetery.

Poor Darren feels like such an inadequate his only sense of self-worth derives from being fluent in English (although most probably he's a monoglot) and belonging to a family that has lived in a country for more than one generation.
Is 'Darren Grimes' a pseudonym? It suits his views so well.
It seems to have escaped his notice that the UK has been multicultural for at least 2k yrs.
Our ancestors have fought, lived & died for the right to speak any fucking language they want.
Use alt text, some of us have that pillock on our mute lists, and 'dunking' on him is just giving him attention. Is he your best mate? No. Then why are you boosting his signal?
This makes me feel physical anger and a bit sick in my stomach. Some of my family came to this country with nothing and helped rebuild it after the war, doing jobs that no one else wanted to do for less money than they should have been paid. My gran could speak 4 languages and worked as a cleaner.
Coz he can tell 'beggers' don't have British passports by, what, colour of their skin? And Dog forbid that actual British ppl might be multilingual. What a pathetic, stupid little shit he is.
Eh tbf I don’t think “hiding”. He’s said he’s from a mining family. Reserved profession both world wars (why my great grandfather who served had to go out and volunteer rather than be conscripted). But I don’t think they did serve and die otherwise he would have put far more weight on that.
I am mainly being polite to his ancestors, who had a perfectly valid excuse not to serve that many in my own ancestry took up, rather than that fascist lickspittle monetising hate for seal-clapping crusader avatar morons on x dot com
My understanding about Reserved Occupations is that it wasn't so much "you don't have to serve" but "we think the skills and experience you already have will help the war effort more than starting you from square one in the forces". I mean, coal was pretty damn strategic.
I wanted to reply to your post by saying that I am an immigrant and found myself feeling anxious about posting it. But here I am. Speaking foreign language, working and paying my taxes.
This is disgusting racism from a weak, silly, little man. Disrespect to every one who fought for freedom or served since 45. He is insulting our friends and families. Sack his ass.
Amazing how the "crafty wanker" Grimy can make a living by spouting forth idiotic bilge on a daily basis.
In any normal society, the "crafty wanker" would be arraigned in court for stirring up hatred.
Also, the answer is: this. They died for this. It's called freedom Darren. You can look it up. While you're doing that you might want to look up what the other side was fighting for because it might sound familiar.
I'd forgotten about this guy until this week and now this is the second posting of his inane gibberish. Can we have an self-denying ordinance not to amplify him. Freak shows should not be watched
And even on its own terms it's idiotic. I'd argue they died so that Britain could be a place of freedom and safety - which is one reason that people might want to come here.
Perhaps Darren would prefer that we'd lost WW2 and lived in a place nobody wanted to come to.
I assume Grimes’ pal Richard Tice is suddenly fluent in Arabic after moving to Dubai and speaks it non-stop while there, even when conversing with other English speakers, just in case some roaming Emirati throws a similar shit fit about foreign languages being spoken in their country.
My father was born in a Yorkshire mining village and married my mother - who was french with a bit of italian blood thrown in for good measure. I can speak english and a 'foreign' language.

He's a fecking snowflake, with a political agenda that sways wherever he think his media will grab attention, just let him bitch!

He would have hated Darren Grimes utterly.
A tiny man with tiny ambition making petty little rants.
What are they delivering? Bangers and mash? Roast beef? Sliced white bread?
What would he and his ilk define me as?
