Just get these racists out please on 09:30 - Dec 9 with 1416 views | Swansea_Blue | It all makes a mockery of the constant politicking against Corbyn doesn't it? Yes Labour have their problems where individual members are anti semitic and there are criticisms about how the leadership are handling it. But it's Tory POLICY to be xenophobic at best and racist at worse. Hostile Environment, deliberately splitting families aparts where one person dares not to be a UK national, and now this sort of pathetic dog whistling just to win votes (off the back of the dog whistling throughout the referendum campaign). People like it though, that's why they are doing it. That's even more depressing imo. | |

People who chose to live, work and contribute to a country deserve to be treated like any other citizen of that country. A hung Parliament which forces both party leaders to resign is the most desire able outcome. Let them sort themselves out internally and come back to the country in six months time. | |

It's one of the key tactics that won the referendum for leave so, given no-one believes the lie about the NHS now, not a surprise they've doubled down on it this week. That it is so predictable makes it no less depressing. [Post edited 9 Dec 2019 10:22]

I'd prefer a Hunger Games style arrangement for the pair of them. It would be good for Christmas TV ratings too! | |

It's an attack on migrants who have integrated isn't it? Those that don't integrate aren't part of society but those that do are taking this country as if it's their own. Nasty, pernicious racism which only matters to get some votes, the impacts of this in the country aren't important to this Tory party. | |

Just get these racists out please on 10:33 - Dec 9 with 1259 views | ElephantintheRoom | Hmmm - I think you miss the point. The Tories recognize that the UK is a deeply racist country, perhaps even encourage it as it is a vote winner for them - and are not unnaturally appealing to their voters at election time. I doubt the slime minister himself is overtly racist or, if he is, he is colour-blind given the make up of his cabinet | |

The PM has no history of making racist comments. None whatsoever. | |

We've lost top scientist in recent months, due solely to the last government's policies (other EU countries now being seen as a better place by some). It's all lies and simply pandering to the UKIP/BP vote. | |

Just get these racists out please on 10:46 - Dec 9 with 1174 views | tractordownsouth | I also found this the other day. Sajid Javid in 2018 dismissing the calls from the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) into Tory Islamophobia https://news.sky.com/story/sajid-javid-in-muslim-council-of-britain-spat-over-is " The Muslim Council of Britain does not represent Muslims in this country." Imagine if Corbyn or McDonnell said that. The Sun would be falling over themselves to pretend they gave a sh1te about the Muslim community. | |

He's a bellend. My sister in law is a professional musician but not tied to an orchestra, will sometimes deputise for a first, doesn't earn anywhere near the £35k threshold or whatever it is now (I don't think she normally earns enough to pay any tax). He's not being serious though, it's just 'piffle' as he would say. | |

Just get these racists out please on 12:12 - Dec 9 with 917 views | m14_blue | Dog whistling of the very worst kind. What's even more depressing is that they are on course to get a majority, I despair of what my country has become. Brexit has emboldened the worst in our society but I'm still shocked that there were so many people with repressed xenophobic views around. I guess it's the outcome of 40 years of drip-drip anti-Eu and anti-immigrant headlines from our disgraceful right wing media. | | | |
