Usual performative cruelty that can’t actually work but doesn’t matter as it riles up the hard of thinking.

sixtiessurvivor.bsky.social•15 days ago

That's why she wants us out of the ECHR. so she can treat children inhumanely. Jesus wept!

amandagillender.bsky.social•14 days ago

But it's the low pay jobs that need immigrant workers.
Just look at the areas where immigrants work now?
How many are high paid?
Are UK workers being kept out of the low paid jobs?
No, they don't want to do them.
If only high paid migrants are allowed in whole sections of the economy will collapse.

Be better for everyone if the Tories were deported to Rwanda and Reform to the US.

There are two models of immigration for developed and developing nations.

A developed nation has a highly educated workforce and imports labour for menial work.

A developing nation has to import expertise, the local citizenry taking less prestigious jobs.

I'm not sure self-styled 'patriotic'...

petemarchetto.bsky.social•15 days ago

... Brits have worked out this 'developing nation' model means they're going to end up picking turnips for a pittance to serve the overladen dinner tables of rich foreigners.

russincheshire.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm just sick of policy by simplicity. Nothing is as easy as that, and pretending it forced Britain to leap through a neverending series of reductive cruelty hoops. God bring us some politicians who don't assume we're all as stupid as they are.

simonpease.bsky.social•15 days ago

You’ve nailed it.

andybuchan.bsky.social•15 days ago

She knows that it won’t happen but she’s desperate to give racists some red meat.

theonetruepanda.bsky.social•10 days ago

So post graduates will be responsible for bringing in this year's crops then, will they? Fidiots.

andyscripture.bsky.social•15 days ago

The thing is, although ill-advised and thoroughly incompetent, she isn't totally stupid, and nor are Philp, Stride et al. This means that they are simply lying in order to try to attract what they see as their voter base. They disgust me.

trickcyclist.bsky.social•15 days ago

It’s is about power not governance. None of them should be in politics.

andyscripture.bsky.social•15 days ago

Absolutely

derekl03.bsky.social•15 days ago

This isn’t ignorance, this is deliberate fault. The far right want a divided bigoted society to give themselves status and power.
All parties seem to want to govern by social media sound bite. It’s very sad.

lying.bsky.social•15 days ago

14 years of it and now my chief worry is that we'll more or less sleepwalk right back into it in 4 years time.

jago2012.bsky.social•15 days ago

Or worse.
It could be so much worse.

lying.bsky.social•15 days ago

I mean it was always an escalating degree of horrible, I think that goes without saying.

jmolofsson.bsky.social•15 days ago

What appears to happen in the United States right now is quite frightening. We in Europe (and here I definitely count England to Europe) will undoubtedly be affected.

If we are lucky, we will retain some democracy, some peace and some Rule of Law.

lying.bsky.social•15 days ago

Every aspect of my job necessitates an American online platform or payment handler or some-such, so it can definitely affect me here across the pond.

perrywong.bsky.social•15 days ago

Dunning-Kruger effect.

davidnice.bsky.social•15 days ago

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk, for one. And what a shame @carolinelucas.bsky.social and @mhairiblack.bsky.social left the Commons.

blandishments.bsky.social•15 days ago

She becomes more ludicrous every time she speaks.

mccoleman.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think she is just doing salaried satire now to be honest.

dirtyoldanduseless.bsky.social•15 days ago

Russ, you are a statistical outlier.
Most of the electorate are dumb enough to be fooled or have abandoned all hope

andreatromans.bsky.social•15 days ago

She knows it will never happen. It's just fodder to attract back the Reform voters. When it doesn't happen (because unrealistic, simplistic policies like this never can), she'll blame us 'woke snowflakes' for her failure, which is part of the real plan all along.
It's to cause division and hatred.

dbaile0001.bsky.social•15 days ago

She's gone full Seig Heil, like in the US, these views are being amplified by social media and mainstream media. There is no real counter push from the government.

msej.bsky.social•15 days ago

That’s the thing about Tories they’re all heart! Not.

tonywalkley.bsky.social•15 days ago

The US can take over and the poor and unemployed people can relocate to wherever the Palestinians are relocating. Simples.

sixtiessurvivor.bsky.social•15 days ago

bristolgal.bsky.social•15 days ago

She’s utterly useless

eclecticblue.bsky.social•15 days ago

She's not that good, Helen.

plod1.bsky.social•15 days ago

So britains will be holding the low paid jobs and disproportionately they will be white reform voters while the migrants disproportionately not white will hold higher paid jobs!

chloew1656.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oddly enough there is a self correcting type of migration where if the immigrant is not earning enough they can voluntarily return without being pushed. Freedom of Movement I believe it's called.

invisiblenan.bsky.social•15 days ago

She’s thick as mince. Just playing to the racist gallery.

victoria1921.bsky.social•15 days ago

Has Badenoch ever visited a residential care home, hospital or public lavatory? These low paying jobs are pretty much covered by the people she thinks are of no value. She really is shockingly lazy and wrong.

jimmyrosiesdad.bsky.social•15 days ago

That’s the card sector fucked then. Well done Kemi. The woman’s an idiot

naijama.bsky.social•15 days ago

Just the Very jobs that Britons don’t want to do!

mrclayox.bsky.social•15 days ago

If you sat chatting in the corner of a pub with a few old, racist men for an evening, you'd come up with an idea just like this.

bowtie5.bsky.social•15 days ago

Bat shit crazy. A bit like Kemi.

redranger27.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh stop with your logic and reasoning. She has had an idea, it’s a bloody ridiculous, nonsense one, but she’s clearly decided it’s a runner. 🤦🏼‍♀️

hunjanmarlow.bsky.social•15 days ago

Worked for Trump! 🤣

drchrishope.bsky.social•15 days ago

It’s almost as if they’ve done this to please their racist base and haven’t thought this policy through. Again.

lindywilliams3.bsky.social•15 days ago

She is almost as mad as the lettuce.

dj05453.bsky.social•15 days ago

pretty sure they said all the same sh*t when they were in power.

trishap.bsky.social•15 days ago

Me I will adopt them all

celticdolphin.bsky.social•15 days ago

Can some please explain to these anti immigrant types, that we need immigration for growth, and those who say we should “look after our own first”…who do they expect will look after them?

tamlewis.bsky.social•15 days ago

The fact that so many staff are needed in the care system, just makes her statement non sensical

lymbat.bsky.social•15 days ago

Trouble is there some people who manage to be smart, but still fall for this migration bs she is trying to pump out, no matter how much others try to educate them.

markrwilson.bsky.social•15 days ago

Make it make sense 🤦‍♂️

16rich.bsky.social•15 days ago

Like Mrs Farage ,Patel, Braverman and serial liar of the decade BJohnson he’s American so he should go to Guantanamo

kthrynlds.bsky.social•15 days ago

Oh Russ, Kemi assured us the "policy" was well thought out! 🤔

mikechannon.bsky.social•15 days ago

I'm just really amused that after a string of Tory dumb arses she's just an stupid! Where do they find them.

morgalyn.bsky.social•15 days ago

Id really like to know how they want to manage the documentation on this part "The tax they paid must have more than covered their and their children’s costs to the state."

How much is it costing for my kid to attend school? Will they count the IHS fees? What about nonworking spouses?

macsibob.bsky.social•15 days ago

You didn't honestly think old breadcrumb brain would actually consider the implications of her vitriolic claptrap? 🤣🤣

gaybladeff.bsky.social•15 days ago

The government removed the "anchor baby" provisions from our law in 1981. Since then you do not get automatic UK Citizenship just from being born here.

UK citizenship of a baby is determined by the nationality, or immigration status, of the parents, wherever the baby is born.

mrgrahamoh.bsky.social•15 days ago

Kemi doesn't realise once this ball in rolling, she too will be pushed on to a boat by the very people she's trying to get to support her.

It's sad really.

sixtiessurvivor.bsky.social•15 days ago
