| Far right flags founder up on a murder charge 13:12 - May 28 with 1133 views | Mullet | https://www.thecanary.co/uk/20 Didn’t want to post this earlier as it was all exposed on Twitter, now it’s been formalised though it brings up a really important point about the commonality of violence and aggression amongst the far right. SYL, Farage and these lot have all incited it, claimed victimhood and now someone has been killed and another injured because of the behaviour and rhetoric around these people. The constant videos of threats and intimidation tie in with the sexism, racism and belief in their righteousness and now it’s led to this. Those defending them and claiming they are targeted by the police really need to assess the narratives they push. |  |

Also, funny how the usual suspects are now demanding we wait for all the facts, after having rioted in Epsom after (it transpired) a woman bumped her head. [Post edited 28 May 13:21]

Rather than the group of dodgy characters and crooks arising out of organisations like the EDL, and funded through orgs like Britain First, they so obviously were. So yeah, I hope you’re right and the people who have defended them can now see what they were siding with. This movement was never about being patriotic. |  |

Although every square metre of the UK now has 1,488 flags on it, things are still rotten in Great Britain, suggesting the issue was never a scantness of bunting.' That's a classic. |  |

This guy was a big noise in the North West flag raising. A very normal person. https://hopenothate.org.uk/202 |  |

He has less sense of irony than the Nazi-supporting Stern Gang. |  |

Honestly, I think we do need a more honest discussion about the impacts of immigration, but these turds being treated with anything other than disgust was a huge failing of our country/media/political classes. They were always unpleasant scumbags stirring up unrest, and loads of our politicians went out of their way to legitimise them. |  |

I’m not even sure what the discussion needs to be now, we still aren’t looking at the billionaires, tax dodgers and foreigners trying to buy everything they can to control us. If people want less immigration there’s going to be some very harsh reforms to the welfare start to fill the job market for a start. The fact that Reform is full of ex Tories pretending they weren’t the ones who created all these problems and people lap it up is entirely different sphere of analysis. |  |

In my view the impacts are both positive and negative. Yes, there may be impacts on local amenities/communities, but there are also the benefits of cheap labour doing undesirable jobs in terms of keeping the country operating and costs low. That second point is an uncomfortable truth, but it is what it is. Agree with your general point though. |  |

Yes in some cases immigrants are doing jobs at lower wages, which can lead to lower wage growth. You can add young people, students, mums returning to work after a career break, retirees looking for a bit of extra income and volunteers into that bracket too. There’s a lot of people doing jobs on low or even no wages that keeps the country operating. So I’m not sure what that conversation would look like. Hopefully it would involve looking at exploitative employers as a starting point. |  |

Also the fact that so much money is syphoned off by fewer and fewer. Landlords both big and small are hoarding housing stock which means more money goes to them and not back into the economy, through multiple places. |  |
