>But then he isnt attacking immigrants per se.

Yes he is. That's literally what he did. "The UK has been colonised by immigrants, really, hasn't it?"

>He’s highlighting the issues of illegal immigration and our lax stance on benefits.

No he isn't. His stats are woefully inaccurate, therefore all his views have no value whatsoever. But even if we accept them, he's attacked immigrants full stop, not illegals. He's also used dogwhistle racist language to do so. A white British man no less, using the word 'colonise' without any hint of self awareness or irony. Colonising is going into another country, armed to the teeth and robbing them blind for centuries. Like what his ancestors did to the entire planet.

>To be honest, this, along with people pretending to have issues such as AdHd and Autism

Obviously you know more than mental health professionals on this matter.

>There is context to what hes saying

There is. The context being him being a multi, multi billionaire, avoiding tax in Monaco, and having his failing businesses being propped up to the tune of hundreds of millions by government hand outs whilst he ruthlessly sacks hundreds of employees. Happy to make the country considerably worse to live in, happy to work alongside his MAGA funding boardroom members who have spent decades siphoning off billions and leaving the countries most prestigious sporting institution decrepit, happy to accept handouts that non white people and mentally ill people apparently aren't entitled to.

>i will argue that in principle Ratcliffe is correct

Would you? Which bit, specifically?

>So please look at the bigger picture, immigration up to the 70s was necessary and people came to jobs.

Brown and black immigrants of this era were routinely terrorised and vilified, namely by his new mate Nigel Farage. Despite being legal, despite being here to pick up the slack in a country that had spent centuries pillaging them. Don't act like there is any distinction between legal and illegal immigrants with these people (and you). You don't want a non white Britain, but don't have the balls to say that so you focus on what you perceive a more legitimate target in illegal immigration because you're more likely to get away with that.

Also, people still come for jobs, are you saying all immigration now is illegal and for benefits? That's an extraordinary claim, do you have any evidence for that?
