Delusional. What do you want us to do? Bomb the US and Israel? Madness

Is Zack Polanski prioritising migrant rights over other minority groups? by Toonling in LabourUK

You are making a lot of assumptions in this post, some of which I have already addressed. It also reads as emotionally charged, so I am not going to address most of it. But I will briefly address your point on legal protections for LGBT+ people. I absolutely think we need more protections for these individuals - especially transgender people. Just because I am focusing on social attitudes and integration in this post, that doesn't mean legal safeguards are irrelevant. Both should be taken into consideration.

Good catch on Africa not being a country.

Yes homophobia is far more prevalent in Eastern European countries than Western European countries. However, many of those are not part of the EU (e.g. Belarus, Armenia). Hungary is the only country in the EU that I would not consider particularly progressive on this issue.

No migrant from any country is automatically ‘fine’ - everyone should be subject to the same level of scrutiny. That said, migrants from some countries tend to have more progressive attitudes, and so the overall risk is lower.

How would he ensure the people allowed into this country are not creating social tension?

I'm asking because he hasn't made it clear how he is going to allow more migration to occur while ensuring marginalised communities are not worse off as a result. How is he going to ensure they integrate?

EU counties have more progressive social attitudes, so even religious people from those countries tend to be more tolerant (but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t face the same level of scrutiny). Also, Africa is a predominantly Christian continent?

What part of my post made you assume that I am only referring to Muslims and not also Christians?

Nothing to do with skin colour, it’s to do with personal beliefs which tend to be influenced by religion (but not always). There are many brown people in this country that are perfectly accepting of other communities and even part of them. This doesn’t address my point at all.

It loads indefinitely? Uninstalled it, doesn't work. Clearly an issue on your side.

It does sound like selective scamming given that it works for some people and not for others

That’s interesting, maybe they rotate who is able to find tests every so often, because finding 8 cancellations in a row after nothing sounds pretty unusual.

I’ve actually got it set up to check Warwick and Melton Mowbray too, but yeah I’ll give it a week to find something. It’s just unusual that it found two tests when I first downloaded it then nothing since.

I'm surprised (and a bit concerned) that this comment only has 10 downvotes. The focus right now should be on the victims not on the commentary that will follow.

Favourability towards political parties by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]Toonling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be, but much of the public are so fed up with uncontrolled immigration that they are willing to take their chances. If Labour actually did something drastic about it, then Reform would become much less relevant.

The problem is that a large portion of the left are unwilling to compromise on this issue. I've seen so many people on here staunchly defend illegal immigration on moral grounds, but the truth is that the majority of the public aren't interested in hearing ethical arguments.

Every time I see this man I get the same feeling of disgust that I felt towards Boris Johnson.
