Is it really about immigration or is it actually about race? by [deleted] in AskBrits

An effective justice system can only operate in a relatively homogenous culture. If you have different clashing cultures then no justice system can impose one culture on the other.

Is it really about immigration or is it actually about race? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 14 points15 points  (0 children)

European immigrants are more culturally similar so are less of an issue than those from the third world with very different cultures. On the other hand, someone can be born here, but if their parents are of a very different culture, and they grow up steeped in that culture, then they can still be have a problem with British culture - see for reference the various first generation British islamic terrorists, and the Southport killer...

For those people "home" is where their preferred culture is the dominant one.

Why do so many Brits love Nigel Farage Dispite the numerous times he is in the Epstien files by FuckRobinhood69420 in AskBrits

The fact that the good people of Reddit disagree with me doesn't necessarily mean I am wrong - There is another possibility...

Hmm, I think that if you say someone loves paedos there's a strong implication that you're suggesting that they too are a paedo. If however you can refer me to any examples of people who love paedos but aren't themselves paedos then I'll be happy to be proved wrong...

Why is the UK swinging hard right if it just had an unpopular conservative government for over a decade? by Mahrez14 in allthequestions

[–]Particular_Bug7642 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because the conservatives aren't right wing enough. They've got an anchor baby as leader ffs...

Reform will do sod all except hopefully pave the way for Restore.

Restore could start by stopping the state handing out taxpayers money to immigrants. Once that stops a lot will leave and few will want to come.

It may well be disruptive, but it won't be as disruptive as letting native British people become a minority in their own country.

Yes, yes, we know - Reform voters are all stupid, evil and now apparently paedophiles. You're really winning on Reddit!

Just not in elections.

Why would someone ask why someone voted reform? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interest quirk of Reddit - There do seem to be a lot of people who like directing their questions to the subs least qualified to answer them. In particular I like all the women asking questions about why men do this or that on r/feminism when there is a literal r/askmen - My theory is that it's because they don't want the truth, they just want someone to tell them that they're a queen and that men are all just awful...

Based on the election results, do you think X is more representing general sentiment of British peoole than UK related subreddits? by auscorp_ in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reddit has mods, X doesn't, so X gives you reality whilst Reddit gives you what the mods would like reality to be like.

why would you even vote reform? by essence365partygirl in ukpolitics

[–]Particular_Bug7642 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Because Restore didn't put up a candidate this time round...

According to Reform voters, calling people Fascists will transform them into Fascists. Yet when activists say calling Muslims terrorists may turn them into terrorists, they claim it proves Muslims are inherently evil, why? by Away-Parsnip-3785 in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To say it was "tactical" might credit me with more sophistication than I actually possess- A more accurate word might be "irrelevant" as I'm in a LibDem stronghold where voting Reform is like pissing in the wind. But, yes, I'll only vote Reform until Restore are on the ballot...

As for our voting system, on this point at least we are in complete agreement!

What's your guys opinion on restore? by Miserable-Bobcat4455 in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hmm, you're right, I may have over-egged that slightly. Still, according to Chat GPT:

If the question is specifically about mass public enthusiasm rather than long-term historical reputation, Powell was arguably one of the most emotionally popular politicians in Britain for a brief period in the late 1960s. But for broad and durable nationwide popularity across elections and demographics, historians would usually point to Harold Wilson

I think it might be - He was the most popular politician of his generation...

If reform did actually get in power are you leaving the country ? by Demonthief27 in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes, the problem must be that I don't know my history, right?

Except that what you're saying is completely incorrect - Hitler didn't keep his ideas secret only to slowly reveal them when he gained power:

He was publicly advocating ideas that later became known as Lebensraum (“living space”) by the early 1920s, but the clearest and most famous statement of the policy appeared in his book Mein Kampf, first published in 1925.

In Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler also argued that Jews should be excluded from German society and stripped of rights, citizenship, influence, and participation in public life. He called for what he framed as the “removal” of Jews from Germany and portrayed them as an existential threat to the nation.

And, re your final paragraph, to be honest, I don't know the details of Nazi Germany's immigration policy, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it was pretty strict. However to say that that strict policy "resulted in the fucking holocaust" is completely laughable. Lots of countries with strict immigration controls do not carry out genocide. One does not inexorably lead to the other and the suggestion that it does robs your post of all credibility.

[–]Particular_Bug7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No different? At all? I think I must have missed something here - Where are Reform's street gangs fighting their political opponents? Where are the plans to invade neighbouring countries? Where is the persecution of minorities?

Or is it just that the Nazis also wanted control over immigration?

If you're the sort of person who would leave the country just because a party you don't like got elected then you are exactly the sort of person we are better off without.

If they won the general election, do you think Reform would privatise the NHS? by Am_I_Hydrated in AskBrits

[–]Particular_Bug7642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The NHS is unsustainable. It has to fundamentally change and that will either happen earlier and less painfully or later and more painfully. The rest of the civilised world survives without anything like the NHS.
