  • Is it racist to oppose illegal immigrants?

  • Lol, that's for legal migrants

    https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-change-of-conditions-of-leave-to-allow-access-to-public-funds-if-your-circumstances-change

    You can apply online for a change to your conditions if your financial circumstances change and you:

    • have permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
    • have applied for permission to stay on the basis of your family or private life
    • have permission to stay with a close relative with protection status as a child
    • hold a British National (Overseas) visa
    • have permission granted on any other immigration route and you want to apply on a discretionary basis because your circumstances are particularly compelling

    Note the permission thing.

  • I have some fantastic news for you. For some time now, if you enter the UK via an illegal route you already have No Recourse To Public Funds. This means you can't get council housing, you can't get universal credit, you can't get child credit and you're not entitled to free treatment in the NHS. You have to pay for everything yourself.

    Why would anyone do that? Ignorance maybe, but usually because it's better than being killed and they already speak some English or have family here.

    The last job you got-did you have to supply identity papers such as drivers licence, passport or similar? Employers legality have to establish your right to work in the UK.

    So the his news for you is there's already no legal way for illegal immigrants to be paid anything at all in the UK. Automatically destitute. Woohoo. You must be so proud.

  • I'm not the one who watches influencers and youtube celebrities. You are.

    All of your positions on stuff.... None of the ideas you stated are original ideas.

    You're hallucinating a viewpoint I didn't articulate.

    All of my ideas are original ideas.

    If by "original" you mean crazy, yes. If you mean you didn't believe some weirdo's ideas on the internet and build on them, no.

    This you?

    The Democrats have given up power to the right because they don’t want to be imprisoned. That’s why Kamala dropped out and they did everything possible to try to help trump get Inca second time. You will never understand this unless you are super smart

    Super smart like you? If by "smart" you mean "credulous" yes. If you mean intelligent and rational, no.

    If it's any consolation, I think some of your conclusions about the state of America are spot on.

  • It's just a lot of clever words for hating foreigners. I'm not fooled by it. Apparently you are. The solution to the infrastructure problems is to build more infrastructure. Not elect a bunch of racists and let hate rule your country. Who gives a fuck where people are from? Racists. That's who. People are people.

    The solution to the housing crisis is to build a vast amount of council housing, just like we did post war. It makes jobs. It boosts the economy. It removes the upwards pressure on rent and introduces downwards pressure. Who would pay through the nose for a badly maintained private rental property when there's a brand now council house at much lower rent? Landlords would have to fix the house and reduce the rent or sell - reducing upwards pressure on house prices.

    So it's the government selling off council houses instead of building more and money-grabbing rich venture capital landlords that cause the housing problem, not some immigrant.

    How do you solve the problems of the NHS? Recruit more doctors and nurses. How? Increase the limit on numbers in medical school in the UK (controlled by the government) and for goodness' sake, make sure all the foreign born NHS and healthcare workers feel happy, wanted and at home, because the one think the NHS can't afford is to lose the immigrant workers! Next, bring health and social care and NHS under the same funding roof, either by putting NHS into local authorities or social care under the NHS. Social care is far cheaper than the NHS and a bunch of old people can't get a place in social care because there's not enough funding for it. If it was the same pot of money, it'd be simple - build a bunch of care homes and ease pressure on the NHS. But how would you staff them? I think you're beginning to see where the answers are but you don't want to admit it.

    Who gave you money problems? Rich people running corporations to extract as much money as possible from you. Not some poor immigrant.

    Immigrants make our country better. Without them it would be worse. Silly racists can sound plausible without using the word "race" or "skin" or "foreigners" as much as they like but their solutions are just about racism and not about making anything better.

    Trump is living out the "deport them or lock them up" policy. If you think that's all going well, move to America. Unless your skin isn't pearly white, because they'll lock you up before you can say "ironic" and certainly before you can say "habeas corpus".

  • Yeah, but if a Nazi says we should send all the immigrants home, I see it for the racist shit it is.

  • But it boils down to "go back where they came from" which is the favourite of racists.

  • Wow. And you think you filtered out the opinion bits?

  • Besides dating one, how could I possibly figure out whether I'm even capable of developing romantic feelings towards another man?

    Jump

  • I guess I’m just worried that if I give it a shot, I might not feel anything more than what I feel toward my male friends. In the worst case, they might develop feelings for me, and then I’d have to break their heart - and I hate the thought of that.

    You are definitely over-thinking this bit.

    "I can't try having a relationship because it might not work out and then we'd be unhappier."

    No. Unthink this. You can't insist that your very first romantic relationship with a man must last for life. That's too high a bar.
