Heâs a minor figure on whatâs going on he is an easy scapegoat. I donât have a dog in this fight, but itâs not hard to see a situation like this barreling out of control from decades of discontent on migration.
Regardless if youâre on the other side of the aisle on this situation, thereâs a lot of people very upset with the immigration levels that have been ignored or labeled one of the three words, racist, a populist, or far right. If I see those words, I know the conversation is over. I no longer wish to engage in conversation with the other.
Thatâs one of the fallacies Iâm already seeing that itâs just the âfar rightâ that is rioting right now they might be the foot soldiers but thereâs a lot of working class ordinary citizens on the streets right now as well. Iâm seeing interviews with these people, theyâre not Tommy Robinsons ilk.
While thereâs obviously that type out there as well, there seems to be a lot of ordinary people out there, thatâs just sick of it.
I think that immigrants are a scapegoat for quite a bit of things that were caused by Brexit which oddly enough was fueled by anti immigrant sentiment.
Considering the societal anger at immigration as a whole in Europe, where itâs always been complicated, is it really that hard for someone like him to rial everyone up?
Some of it is definitely brexit and just how poorly the British government has ran the country for twenty years.
You canât promise everyone awesome healthcare and then defund it at every possibility using every excuse and then act surprised when those same young people get angry as â â â â that they donât get the benefits their older siblings did just a few years earlier.
Then you have a bunch of power hungry sychophants telling them the reason your health care sucks compared to your older sister because of those damn Poles and damn Arabs. Not a surprise.
Brexit has been a disaster for the UK. Now the clamour is for another referendum to go back into Europe.
We have David â â â â â â â Cameron to thank for that debacle.
Now moving onto Tommy Robinson who was mentioned in another post, that man is a racist, homophobic, piece of â â â â â â â â â I would not piss on him if he was in fire. A Horrible odious â â â â â â â â â â â â and he brings shame to Britain.
Muse for a moment over how intellectually lazy and boxed in one has to be to sit and just automatically believe that every time something happens over there, itâs always (and only ever) this so-called âfar rightâ. It may hurt your brain cells a bit, but you clearly have enough to spare.
Itâs way past fallacy. At least those can be accidental.
What is the answer? how do we deal with migration? Climate change certainly is a factorâŚwhere once food could be grown, now it cannotâŚso people moveâŚwhat do we do with them?
I donât know a lot about british politics, I do know that Brexit succeeded largely because of the EUâs open border policies. Immigration is still an issue. as much as people may claim they donât like Brexit, what they donât want more is returning to open borders.
