@Matelot411758 @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay Anyway, here's some actual research rather than abuse and anecdote: herrington-carmichael.com/discrimination… constructionmanagement.co.uk/construction-a… equalityhumanrights.com/sites/default/…

@RomText @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay Don’t be fucking ridiculous you stupid Cnut…you think all tradesmen are racist? Typical leftist.

History isn’t their strong point.

@Matelot411758 @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay I didn't say 'tradesmen', though, did I? I asked about the workplace in which you were employed. Your aggression and abuse gives me immediate insight into what people who don't share your opinions might encounter. Thanks.

@MemeTheMoocher @Katie_Lam_MP Australia, Canada and NZ target UK medical graduates for posts overseas with the offer of better pay and conditions in exactly the same way as you've outlined above. alectoaustralia.com/moving-to-aust…

@Katie_Lam_MP Additionally, the NHS poaching trained medical staff from poorer countries is obscene. Who looks after the sick people in those countries after their medical staff have been bribed with resettlement perks to move to the UK along with their families.

Doctors trained overseas are 2.5 times more likely to be referred to the medical regulator for malpractice. It's totally insane that the NHS is prioritising overseas doctors over our most talented medical graduates. It's a terrible deal for doctors and patients alike.

@KathyParr101 @Katie_Lam_MP They're not capped in favour of international students: they are capped by government policy (for 14 years that made up by Lam's party). International students don't face a cap, but other restrictions: it's also international student fees that cross-subsidise domestic places.

@Katie_Lam_MP Places at medical school for UK born applicants are capped in favour of international students. This must stop. It's unfair to our talented UK students who are actively denied an opportunity to become doctors. The government's priorities are all wrong.

@TheRealJamieKay Five Non Brains.

Name this band.

@SpuddyBHP @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy There may well be a racist aspect involved and I'm sure there was collaboration from authorities, but you seem perfectly comfortable with it when it's done in the majority of cases. It's rather shameless that you just want to exploit victims' trauma to suit your agenda, though.

@RomText @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy More comical facade. No surprise that it involves the denial of the immense racist aspect of the Pakistani grooming gangs and their state collaborators.

British democracy. Tower Hamlets, 2026.

@SpuddyBHP @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy Did you? It must have got lost in your flurry of posts trying to minimise what happens in the majority of cases of child abuse. Apologies if I missed it amidst all the other detritus you've posted . . .

@RomText @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy I answered your question as to why Brits in Spain often don’t integrate and so are often unwelcome. Please follow the simple conversation.

@Matelot411758 @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay Do you think you only saw one Black face because the workplace wouldn't be particularly welcoming to more?

@RomText @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay What?

@les46914 @MarkCor80226138 @TheRealJamieKay In terms of political history, Great Britain didn't exist until 1707 and the United Kingdom until 1801. During this period, we went from being a middling North Atlantic nation to a global power, in no small part owing to imperialism, which primed our first Industrial Revolution.

@MarkCor80226138 @TheRealJamieKay He's wrong on a few levels. One Britain was not Britain when they arrived. Two, they've built almost nothing of what survives today. Nor has almost any of the culture survived, or even language. So they did not build Britain.

@Matelot411758 @philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay Hostile environment?

@philmck33 @TheRealJamieKay 32 years as a tradesman I’ve seen one black face on site….one!

@bobdishy @TheRealJamieKay Looks like the Enligsh language is not AngloSaxon#RestoreBritain's strong point.

@TheRealJamieKay Looks like history is not Jamie Kay strong point

I am fighting a shadow ban + it’s like wading through treacle However, I want to keep holding power to account - here is how you can help 1) check you are actually following along 2) RT and comment on this post 3) share one of my article with a comment Thanks friends 🙏

@MadelaineLucyH To be fair, we have Barbourians like Farage decked out in thousands of pounds of branded gear but some still perceive him as a man of the people because he holds a pint in his hand during photo ops.

The big difference between the US/UK is that if I turned up with a £20,000 watch and a brand new designer outfit and shoes, absolutely no one would think 'wow she's so classy, I'm going to vote for her'. We'd think 'wow a total crook and greedy con-woman, there's no way she's getting my vote'.

@Jeeperskreeper_ @MattRestore @TheNorfolkLion Fair play :) Unfortunately, racism and ignorance tend to be fellow travellers – apart from those performing the race grift at the top, when it usually is a means to an entirely different end.

@RomText @MattRestore @TheNorfolkLion 👍🏻 I was replying to the other post, trying to make a racist understand a bit more. But I have no more time for people like him, as they are an embarrassment, not just to society but his grandparents!

Someone has put a Pakistani flag above an England flag. 😡 To the person who hung it: fuck off back to Pakistan and take your flag with you.

@SpuddyBHP @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy You fatuously claim that immigration is a 'policy' rather than a process enacted for a range of reasons. If 90% of abuse committed is not being treated as a priority for policymakers, then that is a failure of policy – although you imply that it is just to be accepted as is.

@RomText @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy Not a remotely convincing avoidance of the point, I’m afraid. In fact it only betrays that you don’t believe your own facade. Unless you truly are that stupid, I suppose. Abuse existing outside of a policy does not excuse abuse resulting from a policy.

@Jeeperskreeper_ @MattRestore @TheNorfolkLion Not sure if you're replying to me or the other post? I'm in agreement with you: the +8% overrepresentation would indicate that white Britons (and whites more generally) are more likely to perpetrate abuse than other ethnicities, if people want to play a numbers game.

@RomText @MattRestore @TheNorfolkLion So out of 2million asian males theres about 400 convicted for sexual abuse last 3 years, its still a much lower percentage rate than white males pal

@MattRestore @Jeeperskreeper_ @toxick35 @TheNorfolkLion I was waiting for that chart to show up! It has been debunked numerous times, because it combines and distorts different data without any robustness. A bit like MattGPT's recent book of made up facts and stories. It demonstrates your lack of understanding of statistical data.

@Jeeperskreeper_ @toxick35 @TheNorfolkLion I wouldn't want to admit to being an inbred paedo worshipper either

@SpuddyBHP @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy What do they say: 'Every accusation is a confession'? Your desire to distort the reality of abuse, let alone racism, reveals how willing you are to discard victims who don't fit your narrative. It's very transparent and rather sinister.

@RomText @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy Just more irrelevant midwittery. Mass immigration, particularly of Pakistanis, turbocharged not only abuse, but some of the most egregious and racist abuse that this country has ever seen. Aided by the state that brought them here in the first place.

@SpuddyBHP @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy How do you define 'your own'? What is it exactly that you're trying to preserve? What do you feel is being lost? What are you doing to actively preserve it? Until Brexit, the largest wave of immigrations was from Europeans: since we left, how has British culture improved?

@RomText @Madbiziness @MooAndDrew @NJ_Timothy Because human nature is to stick to your own and preserve what you inherited, meaning assimilation is extraordinarily difficult to achieve if migration occurs in notable number, which is why mass immigration is inherently cataclysmic.

@Misscryptonite @DillyHussain88 @5Pillarsuk "Shari" law? Come on, it's "Shakira Law" – get it right, FFS. /s

@DillyHussain88 @5Pillarsuk Well if your a Muslim we want you out of Britain 🇬🇧 you disrespect our culture and want to push Shari law on us. No chance. We will regain our country and maintain our religion and culture

There are good people out there, in their millions across Britain, who live respectfully and peacefully despite their differences.💚
