‘If the cap fits’ what does that mean, for goodness sake?

I know why it was headline on GBNews that day: to incite hatred and violence. Linking that video of someone supposedly ‘doing something- no qualification of who the person was or where they came from. Then the presenter linking that to both the refugees at Knowsley then making a link between the ‘immigrants’ and Rotherham. No differentiation between ‘immigrants’ and ‘refugees’, no attempt to even look into how the inmates had got there.
I took the trouble to find out who they were and where they came from: a proper journalist would have researched that and informed their audience.

But GBNews aren’t interested in that. Their interest is in fanning the flames of unrest and hatred.

We all witnessed Southnorwood al taking the bait, just as countless others would have.

Job done.

No, mate. I’m not over the edge at all. Narked, maybe, by seeing those convictions for rioting and seeing not one word on the GBNews website. I distinctly remember that Southnorwoodal post about ‘giving those immigrants a good kicking’ at the time

To be honest, I don’t watch GBNews much but do on some occasions to see what’s being said on th e right of the political spectrum: I think it’s good for me.

Serious question who were they and where were they from? .
By the way, they are not inmates, they are officially detainees, lots of difference between a prison and staying in a hotel. If you know better than me, so be it. I will say my 30+ years in Immigration department taught me nothing.
At least GB News always have at least one leftie on their panel, do all other news outlets have a mix of po,itical opinions? Why do you bother watching GB News if it upsets you so much. I don’t watch Channel 4 news as I know it would wind me up.
Is it the lack of transfer activity that has sent you “ over the edge” because it looks like something has

That was just in response to your question about who they are and where they come from; i wondered the same and looked it up.

No, my point, really was to make a distinction between that blanket word ‘immigrants’ and refugees. I certainly was not suggesting that people should not be detained.

There we go again. It’s as if you haven’t even read my post haha.
You have not a clue what my views are on immigration. So blinded are by your own prejudice, off you go again with your old blunderbuss, scattering all around you with your frantic, prejudicial world view..

It’s this kind of polarised view, blind and panic-stricken which stops any real exchange of views. A constant stream of polarised souls thrashing around at each other.

Here you’ve replied with that same old rhetoric, as if we haven’t seen you write it countless times on these pages.

I’m not saying you’re a horrible person but, honestly, listen to yourself,

You're not doing yourself any favours, my man.

You have an interesting definition of 'trolling' if you define it as anyone who puts up arguments that you don't like. As I wrote before: just listen to yourself.

It seems that you think you're the only one 'concerned with the future of this country'.

Yes, I definitely disagree with a broadcaster who wishes to stir up racial hatred with shoddy journalism of the type that I have described.

Now, stop being so vindictive and personal. There's a good fellow.
