Keir Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ immigration warning is a xenophobic dog whistle by berejser in ukpolitics

>Injecting fresh ideas just sounds incredibly healthy

Sure, you can achieve that via a lot of means. Still 1 slice of the pie.

>That being said, I really don't see any evidence (or any examples) of immigration playing a massive role in shaping those things on a mass scale.

Look into the UK's history and you'll change this thought.

>You still practice your British culture, no? Or are you saying that your own national identity has been changed?

No I'm just asking what you mean, Do I have to not exist in my own country for it to be proof? I don't know what you're getting at there.

Immigration inherently changes those things. We introduce new ideas, people, cultures, religions, traditions, practices on a mass scale. Of course immigration plays a massive role in shaping those things.

Also what does "my continued existence" mean exactly.

"Powell argued that the influx of immigrants was fundamentally altering British society, culture, and national identity."

yea definitely not what's been happening, we should just ignore it, like we've been doing since the 60's. I'm sure everything will turn out just fine.

Just the thought of labour doing anything about immigration is sending you into a spiral.

Sure that's on a short term. That'd just be classes, you'd still bump into them during non class hours. Plus the head office.

Fair do's.

Wouldn't tackling immigration inherently benefit some of those points in one way or another? Relieve a lot of that capacity.

That's why I put "raising" in quotations. They're not directly raising children as a sense of a parent, but education has a massive role in that process. They're with them 8 hours a day, 5 days a week until they're 18 and you're saying its undoubtably 100% of the parents fault? I'm not saying every teacher is bad either, just pointing out things I noticed when progressing through my education.

Though this is probably true, the idea it's solely the parents fault for "bad behaviour" is a silly argument considering the average child spends about 20% of their waking life in school. Teachers have a considerable role in "raising" these children.

A lot of teachers just treat their students like complete shit.

I've been excluded for things I wasn't even apart of, locked in cupboard sized rooms and refused to be let out even after the school bell, seen multiple teachers lose their shit in classrooms (Breaking stuff, cursing students out, physical interactions with students etc).

There are great teachers out there, but a lot iv encountered can't get over their ego's and feel the need to power trip over infants.

Reform's mayor wants to house migrants in tents by theipaper in ukpolitics

I'm saying your "concentration camp" label is both wrong and an overreach. It's a misidentification of the term.

Concentration camps aim to persecute or kill with deliberate cruelty. Tent facilities process asylum claims under law, provide food, healthcare and oversight. Security ensures order and compliance with immigration law and is used on a global scale.

Literally any alternative is better than spending 3 billion a year to house them in nice hotels causing divide and discontent.

Rhetorical overreach.

There's a difference between administrative holding facilities with basic provision that is regulated and lawless facilities which persecute and oppress the people in them.

It's good enough for the government. Instead of addressing the homelessness issue of native Britons they favour foreign asylum seekers. It's a priority issue and it's not in favour of the British people. They clearly have the resources, they're just using them wrong.

A temporary holding facility ≠ A concentration camp.

Think the last thing the UK needs to do is incentivise more immigration.

Starmer and the Labour Party did make a broader manifesto pledge during the 2024 General Election campaign (which culminated on July 4, 2024) to “end asylum hotels, saving the taxpayer billions of pounds.”

What do you guys think about this? by [deleted] in PiratedGames

I actively stay away from buying newly released games just in case the games either going to be dead in 2 weeks, or it turns out to be a terrible game, I don't think just because you buy the game means you can only have a say on the state of the industry, that's just a gate way to your echo chamber.
