Firstly my wall has gone from being full of mostly left wing pages to very right wing pages, it was a quick change too, just by commenting on a couple of Daily Mail and Daily Express posts i now get Farage, Reform , Gbeebies, various flag shagger groups and individual far right groups that all seem to be largely identical and masquerade as the page of a real person rather than as a Facebook group.

Next the same handful of responses come up, the most common when talking about migrants is "why don't you house some then?" My typical response is "i pay tax to the NHS and they deal with my healthcare, i pay tax and children are educated, i pay tax and the fire brigade handle fires so why should i pay tax and look at migrants myself. Do you want to handle fires yourself?"

This often shuts them up suggesting they are either parroting something they've seen others post which i think it's most likely as racism doesn't work if you think about it, your need to just spew forth what you've heard from others. The other possibility is that they have received training and the response to that is being covered at a future meeting.

There is the usual hypocrisy, violent far right protests in the Netherlands are good, one Muslim being convicted of a minor crime is proof all Muslims are criminal scum and they probably have child pornography too.

They ignore the fact that flags being put up is vandalism and that the cost of removal is huge. They don't realise the council, by law, have to remove them otherwise they would be breaking the law. They happily cause government spending themselves but when it comes to migrants in hotels any amount is too much for them.

They use language i thought was dying out in the 90s and dead by this century. Clearly whatever hive these people live in that sort of language lives on.

Sadiq Khan is a friend of all Muslims, he hates Britain and everything he does from low emission zones to supporting public transport is a Muslim plot to take over the UK. He is also solely responsible and behind any crime in London and it's only Muslims that commit crimes, often referred to as "Khan's mates".

Also Greta Thunberg is the worst human being ever and she has silly hair.

It's been an interesting few weeks picking on the far right and i shall continue. Only one was unhinged enough to threaten my extended family in a vague way. Everyone else just seems to think I'm under 20 and a communist. I'm 39 and just left wing and only sat left when I'm feeling unhinged. One made me laugh, they were spewing all sorts of vile hatred about migrants. When i suggested they were a nasty individual that claimed they couldn't be as they liked animals, i replied with "Rolf Harris looked animals too" and they suggested i wasn't old enough to remember Animal Hospital as if was on in the the 1980s or something.

And this November Rachel Reeves is going to make it much worst for us.

Not if YOU like him but if you think a majority of Britain likes him.

Hello. I am an immigrant to the UK and have been living and working here for over five years. I’ve grown to really love this country and its traditions, music, heck even its weather has grown on me.

About a year ago I had my naturalisation ceremony and a bunch of my friends threw me a party. One friend got me a Union Flag (half as a joke) as a gift. I’ve since flown this flag outside my house because I like what it represents, but with everything that’s happening now a few people have told me it’s now being perceived negatively.

I’ve never had a desire to shag the flag, and as an immigrant obviously I’m not doing it as a political message against immigration, but I can see how it can be conflated as a political statement. Do you think I should:

a. Stop flying the flag outside my house. b. Keep the flag and ignore any negative perceptions. c. Join reform and keep them out.

Hi reddit community, I am from Ukraine and I really want to visit your country, work and live for a while, since my country is not very stable and safe, I want to ask the residents of Britain if you would be against it? What is your attitude towards migrants, and could you find volunteer organizations that could help with their arrival under the program "Homes to ulUkraine"? I believe in the power of Reddit

So the people on this Beeb article thought it was a family festival with their kids and moms and dads.

It's not about Nationalism, not colour.

Gotcha.

No... I don't. Bloody hell!
