I am not "promoting" anything to others! Another ridiculous concept. Others can make up their own minds on what is important to them. I am describing what's important to me.

What I say about immigration has no bearing at all on it. Immigrants can also decide where they want to live and tend to go where the work is. If they retire here maybe they will come to Cornwall. Many come on holiday so will likely fall in love as I did.

I have lived all over the UK, and for a while partly in the Philippines, whilst visiting many other places. Cornwall has long held a special place in my heart. It is now my home.

Your attitude on this is bonkers and it will be called out every time you display it.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

we had a mini-scandal in Ireland. During the tightest part of the Covid Lockdown, there were still plane-loads of Fruit Pickers arriving in from Eastern Europe.

And of course the fields they were working were within earshot of some drunken sleeping dole-heads.

You cannot really blame the employers. Hire Foreign or let the fruit rot in the fields. Generous Dole at home causes immigration. And again its the fault of shyte governments.

Across much of Europe, Farmers cannot recruit locals to work. Hence they bring the work in from poorer countries. Migration is fueled by employment demand. Which is fueled by local decadence.

Many agricultural workers suffer awful deprivations and work morning, noon and night. Its mostly single childless men. In Ireland, many dole-heads have a ton of kids, a car, and an X-Box.

We are living in the Last Days of Rome folks. This Civilisation is close to imploding under the weight of its own contradictions.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

As I said they go where the work is. It seems the fruit and veg pickers come from particular countries and follow a pattern of moving around as crops become ready for harvest. They though don't settle and go home in the winter, returning again the following year. They are barely visible, as they work long hours and tend to stay in mobile homes provided by their employers. I saw an interview with a few of them on local TV a while back. They seemed a cheerful bunch, full of smiles and stories. Don't see them as city types.

Those in London don't go anywhere. Presumably waiting to fill their positions in the NHS.

But immigration is a political hot potato. Because although immigration provides plenty of workers to fill needed gaps in industry, there is a perception (rightly or wrongly) that illegal immigration is actually becoming a massive financial and social burden.

And no-one at the top seems capable of doing anything. The attached is Rishi today. The same photo could be use for the next 2 years, or so, then a new PM will be chanting the same mantra.

"The facts have changed", Rishi Sunak

A disingenuous point, you will be long gone before the issues elsewhere are visited upon Cornwall in significance. The very fact that you get to enjoy what your politics will destroy for those coming after is precisely why your hypocrisy will be pointed out.

Huge selfishness.....instead of planting trees, whose shade you will never sit in....you are part of ripping them up from their roots.

So you can make as many deflections as you like it won't stop me from stating the truth.
