Sorry but he literally didn't care about that. If he did, he would have realised his parents were immigrants and not created such a harsh anti-immigration plan such as reporting them to Rwanda... 

Sunak is almost a perfect example of how immigration should work. 

 

His family embraced the UK. 

 

I'd say he was perfectly qualified to assess that many joining the UK prefer to live as they'd live at home but on someone else's turf.

I wonder how many involved don't work and also how many did not bother to vote in the recent election. 

Would it make a difference? Nothing ever seems to improve for the poor and middle classes. Here in the US I call it the Uniparty.

The greatest scam the government ever did is make it a 2 party system. They don't care for the people. It's all about them. Same side of a dirty coin. That's where the protests (and peaceful ones) should be aimed.

Kicking off in Alum Rock Birmingham apparently.

It's news if there isn't something kicking off in AR, at least from when we lived there. You've got two drug gangs for a starter that constantly scrap because someone looked at their bicycle funny or something. Best thing we ever did was move.

Like many families are embracing the UK as best as they can, but then get treated like they have in the past week?

What makes u think that.  His wife and her family are staunch funders of the right wing BJP, and have links to the Sangh Parivar.  They may aswell give Tommy Robinson a cheque.

It’s getting to me just been for walk around the block and as I turned into my road there’s a guy hanging around just back from the corner smoking a fag with tattoos all over his face wearing a Union Jack shirt and my first thought was don’t look get home and lock the doors. 
 

Paranoia or justified ?

In in the UK at least the traditional working class has been undermined by an underclass that has no appreciation of nature,  culture, respect for others and their surroundings.

Israel has history for taking pre emptive action against a foe judged  to make an imminent attack 

 

Iran continue to shout loud about doing just that.  But still they still wait.  Are they hoping Israel will go for them and that gives them carte blanche to respond and they won’t get the blame for plunging the region into a major war.

In this climate, justified.

His wife ain't British and can't really be classed as an 'immigrant' to the UK

 

I meant his parents and siblings.

I went out to get a printer this morning. It felt so odd. You look at me and I look like all of the chubby angry men burning things, I felt so self conscious. And I wondered how I deal with people in the street - do I go around smiling at folks? Do I make chippy conversations? Things I never do. It was a relief to get back in the car and get out to the fields with the dogs.

Many of those people had absolutely no shame.  Clearly a fair few of them would already be known to the police.  What they seem to have in common is a lack of intelligence, a lack of education and pure undiluted ignorance.  I don’t want to hear their excuses about how they don’t have this, or that, or these people have somehow taken their jobs.   They need to look at themselves and wonder why they are where they are and stop pointing fingers.  No chance of that of course.

I like your stuff @davieG but is this satire?

 

'get home and lock the doors'....do you live in a down-market 1960s built hotel?

"The Football Lads Alliance is a right-wing movement in the United Kingdom founded by John Meighan in 2017"

 

It was an offshoot to the EDL.

Right. Have you considered that it might be yourself from the future, and you've come back to prevent yourself from doing something really bad?

As I said it was how I felt and who knows when, where these will strike next. I’m not sure where one lives has any relevance to making someone feel insecure and threaten maybe it’s an age thing.

We need to add "Part Four" to the title so that the numbering system isn't off.
