@martinsharman43 @David90shaw Like having safe and legal routes, offshore processing, sufficiently resourced immigration services and courts, streamlined, clear criteria etc. All very boring and requiring grown up mature reflection. Much easier to call to ban or leave things and blame foreigners.

@martinsharman43 @David90shaw If you process the numbers, you will find the effect is minimal. ECHR is cited very rarely and mostly unsuccessfully, despite the rabid publicity. There are much more effective (but probably much less popular) measures we could take.

🚨 BREAKING: The head of the Council of Europe just dropped an absolute bombshell. He says if Britain leaves the ECHR to finally secure our own borders, we will be grouped alongside Russia and Belarus. The global elite are officially using extreme scare tactics just because we want safe streets. 🧵👇

@Ronswan649378 Or are you holding out for one of these?

@Ronswan649378 What’s the current Rouble to GBP conversion rate? For some strange reason I thought you might know…..

A friend is married to a Ukrainian, for the last 15 years. Her parents live near Lyviv, on the west of Ukraine. They are both getting a full UK state pension. They spend a lot of their time back in Ukraine....... We are being rinsed. #ukraine #restore

@DavidAHoward @DaveKent101 It’s representative democracy. We elect people who make decisions based on the circumstances they find. Not robots who exist to enact manifesto contents. Things like immigration are not just a matter of policy wand waving. It’s driven by economics, markets and demographics

Every single person allowed in By Boris (over a million) was given a legal visa. Every wind and solar farm was built by our tax money as we voted for net zero (as in the majority). If they have a policy they implement it, whether or not like mass immigration it was not in the manifesto.

Why is it that Denmark can ignore the ECHR and deport ALL migrants with a conviction of a year or more WITHOUT APPEAL, yet the timid UK remains a frightened rabbit in the headlights of the wretched ECHR?🤔 Ignore it or scrap it!🤨

@nicksortor We figured that, when our contributions and sacrifices were demeaned and insulted. Which is why we didn’t show up

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the US will be withdrawing "A LOT" more troops from Germany than the 5,000 announced yesterday FINALLY. Bring our troops home! We don't need NATO — NATO needs US! "We're going to cut WAY down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000" 🇺🇸

@DavidAHoward @DaveKent101 Sadly though, the issue is largely being driven by people with agendas, not solutions. Because it is emotive, they just want to twist the knife for electoral effect, not heal the wounds.

@DavidAHoward @DaveKent101 What is actually required is adult, responsible debate. Doctrinally willing to consider all aspects, including that we may have to accept equivalent or even higher immigration in the short or medium term, just organise it better.

@MadDogBrit That’s the difference between patriotism and nationalism. Nationalists are loyal to a people, and ethnicity. Patriots are loyal to a concept, an idea or a set of values. You can be proudly English but anti-British simultaneously

English is an ethnicity. It is inherited through blood and ancestry, not granted by a passport, birthplace, or how much someone loves tea and the monarchy. You can be British by nationality, fully integrated, loyal and patriotic, yet still not ethnically English. That is not hate. That is biological and historical reality. Shabana Mahmood is not ethnically English. Neither is Nana Akua. Pretending otherwise by redefining "English" into a vague civic slogan is a deliberate attempt to erase the native English people from their own homeland. The English exist as a distinct ethnic group with deep roots in these islands, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman. We built this country from our own stock. Acknowledging that truth isn't extremism. Denying it to accommodate mass migration is. England belongs to the English first and foremost. Restore Britain gets this. Time the rest did too. England. True Grit. Restore. My England for the English.

@james_xond You might want to include giving a realistic estimate of the number of jellybeans in a jar as well. Or alternatively could just be honest about your prejudices?

Unpopular opinion but the right to vote shouldn’t be automatic. It should require passing a basic test on economics, finance, history, and how laws and public policy actually work… Pass it, you vote. Fail it, you don’t.

@DavidAHoward @DaveKent101 This decline gave us little alternative but to pursue a post-industrial knowledge, digital and services led economy. The fashion for investment and early retirement didn’t help our productivity either

@DavidAHoward @DaveKent101 Encouraging everyone to aspire to home ownership and via privatisation widening shareholding and investment also led many to think of themselves as middle class. Unsurprisingly this made menial or caring work unattractive.
