Brexit – The STUPIDITY of Farage and the Tories.

Posted on by Opher

Whatever the exceedingly stupid, arrogant, xenophobic and racist Farage, Theresa May and the ERG might think Brexit did not mean Brexit.

There were many types of Brexit.

The Hard Brexit – that those nincompoops forced on us – was a complete withdrawal from Europe (complete with arrogant name calling and nastiness). That cut us off from our biggest trading partner and is costing us a staggering £37 Billion a year.

What a stupid, foolhardy thing to do!

They sold this too us as a patriotic way of making Britain great again – it actually made us a lot poorer with less power.

They sold it to us as a way of solving mass immigration. It failed utterly. The French and rest of EU simply refused to return the immigrants. The transient East Europeans went home and clobbered our economy and more immigration from further afield came to fill the gaps and was much less transient.

That Hard Brexit is a disaster!!

A Soft Brexit – what we should obviously have gone for (given the stupidity of the vote outcome in the first place – out of xenophobia to shoot both feet off!) was to withdraw from the political side of Europe but remain in the Customs Union and Single Market – thus separating us from Europe but not wrecking our economy!

Thankfully Stammer is trying to put right this act of wanton vandalism created by Farage, Tice, May and the Tory ERG. Long may the lot of them rot for the damage they’ve done!!!

Project Fear has proved to be Project Reality

Brexit has proved to be the disaster we predicted.

It has certainly shaken my faith in democracy. We had a decision made by the uninformed, easily led, xenophobes, racists and the most stupid. It mirrors the support and election of Trump.

Social media, led by those with clearly vested interests (people like Farage, Johnson and Rees-Mogg who all made a killing) ran a campaign based on fear, division and the undermining of experts, that successfully divided the country, empowered the most unpleasant factions, cost us a fortune and has completely broken the country.

This was the same template created by Trump and the far-right populist MAGA movement.

They galvanise the uneducated and deprived and somehow convince them that a billionaire living in a lavish, gaudy mansion with gold toilets cares about them. They still cannot see this grifter is simply making money – $5 billion so far – while employing his extended family in a business that rivals the mafia.

Likewise in the UK, the same people from the same social strata have been convinced to put their faith in a merchant banker multimillionaire who is busily lining his own pockets while drumming up scare stories, racism and xenophobia for his own ends.

Brexit ‘has made everything from economy to immigration worse in UK’

It’s not migrants who are breaking the country – it’s billionaires, millionaires and social media magnates!! We are being duped!

It’s called scapegoating!

It’s what Farage and Trump do!

Trump-loving Man of the People!

Why do people fall for these glib, lying, populist millionaires like Farage, Trump and Johnson? Can’t they see they’re being taken for a ride?

These people are in it for the money and power – nothing more!

He’s costing us £30 Billion a year from a disastrous Brexit! Lying runt!

Using Immigrants! Idolising Trump!

This millionaire conman is using immigrants to gain votes!

He wants to privatise the NHS and allow US drug companies in!

He’s after giving tax cuts to the wealthy!

He’s blaming immigrants! It’s a smokescreen!

He’s making a fortune out of hate, fear and division!

Immigration is a problem but a bigger problem are the millionaires scamming us!

Reform? Who runs it?

Farage – A Trump-loving millionaire, ex-merchant banker, public schoolboy who pretends to be down with the people. A xenophobic racist who led us out of Europe with a pack of lies and made all of us a lot poorer while making himself very rich.

Tice – Another Trump-loving millionaire, ex-property developer, public schoolboy who pretends to be down with the people. A xenophobic racist who led us out of Europe with a pack of lies and made all of us a lot poorer while making himself very rich.

The question remains as to why these self-serving millionaires like Trump. Farage, Johnson and Tice appeal to working-class people? You only have to look at their houses and bank accounts to see what their real agenda is!

Immigration and Fascism.

Posted on by Opher

The rise of right-wing fascism is due to mass immigration and muslim extremism.

People find the presence of large numbers of foreigners extremely threatening.

People find the usurping of their endemic customs and ways threatening.

In general I don’t think they mind seeing a few people in ethnic garb. It’s when this becomes a mass and they start taking over areas and displacing the locals. They resent the situation. They do not want to see mosques springing up all over the place. They do not want to see their culture displaced in their own country.

Couple this with terrorism, hate speech and fire-brand extremists spouting about taking over and we have a recipe for disaster. It fuels thugs like Tommy Robinson and right-wing parties.

Populists like Trump and Farage have been quick to jump on this bandwagon and inflame the fears. The extreme right has been painting a vivid picture of immigrants being scroungers, rapists, murderers and criminals. They stir up the fear to create hate.

This results in knee-jerk responses. All across the Western world right-wing politicians are whipping up fear and hate, proposing mass deportations and building walls. It gets them elected.

We don’t need fear and we don’t need hate. We don’t need populist right-wingers creating isolationist policies.

We do need understanding, intelligence, compassion and solutions.

We have to end mass immigration.

We have to end muslim terrorism.

We have to integrate immigrants into our culture. If they want to live in our country they live by our rules. That isn’t to say they have to abandon their own culture and religion but we have to find ways to live together in peace without fear, suspicion and hatred.

To end mass immigration I believe we have to look at the causes of mass immigration (not build walls). The causes are war, political chaos, extreme poverty and climate change.

Until these are addressed we will have mass immigration.

The cause of muslim terrorism is war, poverty and chaos. Muslims perceive that the West is attacking them, their culture and religion.

It is obvious that we cannot take all the millions in need from impoverished countries. We do not have the room or facilities.

In my opinion the problem with the world is that far too much wealth and power is in the hands of a handful of billionaires. We need to help solve the Third World problems so that there isn’t this disparity. We need to stop the wars.

We need to solve climate change.

Mass immigration, in my opinion, is the product of greed. We need a fairer world.

It’s what’s on the inside that counts!!

Immigration – Part 3 – Apartheid

Immigration – Part 3 – Apartheid

Finally, we see a pattern that is all too common: immigrants set up their own separate communities. They make no effort to integrate, learn the language or local customs. They maintain their customs, religion, language and dress. In effect they bring the culture they grew up with into the mainstream culture of the host country.

They feel safe, secure and unchallenged. The presence of others the same as them is reassuring and reinforcing. There is no need to assimilate, indeed, that might be seen as dangerous, as undermining their own culture and values.

We end up with a self-perpetuating apartheid. All the enmities and prejudices are imported and maintained. The entire ethos of an area is changed. The endemic population flees, claiming that it is no longer the place they grew up in. This breeds resentment and anger. The endemic population feel threatened and driven out of their own homes.

Should this lack of integration be allowed and tolerated?

Should efforts be made to assimilate foreign cultures into British values?

Should immigrants be ‘made’ to feel British?

Or is this separation of cultures perfectly acceptable?

It’s Immigration Day!! Opher tackles this thorny subject and makes himself very unpopular!!
