How many migrants do his companies employ I wonder?

 

Probably a lot. How many of those will be on benefits I wonder?

    And there's me thinking that 'pensions are not a benefit' would be the most ridiculous thing I'd read today.  Never had anything given to you? Your generation were able to buy property on 3x an a

Starmer chipping in with "he should apologise" is another example of weakness. Like a primary school teacher trying to admonish a little kiddie.

More political elite wokerati.

United employ a few, and that's just the first team squad. Pay their taxes though, unlike him

I’m guessing they live in the UK, unlike him

Dunno but he can't really have a stab at immigrants when his businesses will employ hundreds that all pay tax. 

I'd guarantee a large portion of his minimum wage cleaners and match day workers are immigrants.

His workforce would cave in without them. Same goes for the NHS and other large sectors.

 

free speech, stop getting hysterical ffs

I think that’s the point. Live in this country, pay your (full) taxes in this country, have a say in this country. Free speech is brilliant.

If you don’t then keep your mouth shut.

PS - also helps if you don’t tell porkies though when you do speak, otherwise you’ll have to apologise and look a prat.

So free speech is fine but only when you live in that country, got ya. 
 

Can the mods close the meanwhile in America - Canada - France and every other thread that’s not Brit related. Also @bolty58 and @Zico can you stop posting in this thread.

I don’t think he was “people opting to take benefits rather than working for a living” 

You know he waited for a decent run of results for that little outburst. The smelly tax dodging rat.

Had to drive through town yesterday to get to work at 3pm , i usually go over Scout Road then Beaumont road to the motorway at Hunger Hill,

Stuck in traffic next to Steaks on a plane at the bottom of Deane road, hundreds of kids and people milling about ,school chucking out time !

Not a single white male person ,man or boy amongst them.

Went through Sedgley Park on Monday I was the only none Jewish person!

It’s the same outside my nieces school down in Shrewsbury.

Except they’re all white.

And fair play to any PM who calls him out for his choice of words

All a smokescreen by Starmer and Reeves to deflect from today's ONS report regarding our stagnating economy.

Construction down 2% and Scientific & Tecnical down over 1%

Not that it matters, but I'd guess from my observations on the school run that my lads school is about 95% White. Fuck knows what proportion of them are "White British", but why the fuck would anyone even care about this stuff? Racists are very fucking weird.

Imagine going about your day and being bothered by the colour of some kids' skin. Proper nonce territory.

They were just comments in conversation, not by a politician or made in a speech. Maybe some of the words were clumsy but so what? Ratcliffe has apologised for the words used (hardly "disgusting" by the way)

As I said earlier, the real political news of today is regarding our economy and downturns in sectors which were previously highlighted as critical for growth.

He was asked the question.

I think I saw a "non white" kid walking to the local village primary school the other day, that wouldn't have happened under the Conservative Party, I'm worried it's the thin end of the wedge

I'm sure he'll be along shortly to say he's not racist. Although he clearly is.....he'll say he can't possibly be racist, because he once bought a Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes single once, or something

yep, and so he has to offer up some reply - I think the reply was sufficient. Radcliffe has since apologised, so he must have thought himself that his choice of language could have been better 

i dont believe its a racist comment to say we are being colonised

Any one on here, i will meet  any day at Steaks on a plane at the bottom of Deane road Bolton and we could walk walk to a public house where i will buy you a drink whilst you point out to me that what i see is a lie.

Ten pints later , and i am buying , you wont convince me i am wrong

 

The wonders of postcolonialism, eh? We colonise half the world for centuries, extolling the virtues of Britain and then wonder why people want to come here.

Of course, our modern 'patriots' live abroad these days and do nothing but run it down on a daily basis.
