      Great Britain told the peoples of the countries they colonised that Britain was now their homeland, not their place of birth. Those thus colonised cannot be criticised for returning 'home', which they have done in their tens of millions. In the decades since, those immigrants have changed the fabric of Great Britain, and it's up to those who live there to determine how that's all worked out for them.

They have their own channel to view on sites such as this and interview other unknowns and have the most extraordinary opinions on anything. The public, many of them, choosing to believe conspiracies from people, (strangers ) online and that if one was sat next to a person on a train or waiting for a bus and a person (stranger) talked their conspiracies out loud, people I would imagine would feel uncomfortable. Though this is accepted online it appears. Extraordinary.

Then, for reasons I still don't understand, we invited foreign people and powers to just simply apply politely and walk in instead. We now have entire sections of Britain which are populated and even wholly managed by foreign forces, sections of which the indigenous people would not dare walk into in their own country. Why was this situation ever allowed to even be promoted let alone become a reality.

      @obeidgolamrassoude3688 The lies of an alien, the reason for those people of the newly formed commonwealth being given jobs at the NHS, British rail ect, is because normal British people didn't want them here and would not employ them. The first sponsored invaders came at a time of mass unemployment, ration books, and a housing crisis all stemming from WW2. Pathetic insults and lies will not change facts. Not wanted, not needed. The real motivation behind bringing aliens to Britain was the disbandment of the British empire, and the commonwealth was created to give the Royal family a sense of relevance and power.

      Racist is not an insult. It's natural human behaviour. As Powell suggests, it's deliberatly ill defined. But in essence it means "accepting that there are differences in ethnicity, and acting accordingly."
      Same with "discrimination." It's not bad. Infact, if you cannot discriminate you cannot think. Which is exactly why they want to make it a social taboo.

      It's such a sorry state of affairs here in Britain today. Nobody will stand up, nobody will speak out and nothing will be done. Years of being told we should be accepting of others whilst being told we should be ashamed of our own culture and history. Years of being told the Union Jack represents colonialism whilst being encouraged to fly the flags others, years of having to accept the colonisation of our towns and cities whilst we are forced to give grovelling apologies for our colonial history ,which most of don't condone and none of us are guilty of. Years of us being told that when we go there we are "colonizers" but when they come here it is "multiculturalism". All of those years have beaten down British pride in our culture to point were our own capitol city, our own, beautiful London, that our Grandparents fought for is now barely inhabited by the English. We have labelled those who have stood up as hateful far right Nazis. So I'm sorry to say that there are no longer any "stiff Englishmen". Just emasculated men, who dare not show pride in their flag, country ,culture and history, for fear of being labeled a bigot.. I wonder where all these newcomers will go when Britain is just like the places they fled from in the first place.. Sad sad times.

    And THIS is why it is important to let people SPEAK and hear the WHOLE story to form your opinion. By hearing out the man or woman themself. That is something that truly has gotten lost in our modern times.

      People are afraid to hear an opinion that invalidates theirs because they’re not that confident in it. If they were confident that what they believed was objectively true, they wouldn’t need to cut through someone every 20 seconds to reiterate their point.

      It’s not lost, it’s erased. The difference is that it’s BY DESIGN.
      You will not think, you will not openly discuss ideas, you will follow the state and corporate view of “morality” without question and any opposing opinion is almost illegal and is illegal in many cases.
