Hope Nella goes first. There's some really fun people in there and I don't want it to become the Nella show as they tiptoe around her.
That is exactly what he is saying and he gets labelled as a racist for it… he has never said we must shut our borders to everyone, just that it needs to be controlled…I risk getting myself cancelled here, but i think Nigel is only saying that this tiny island of ours can only take so many people. Our infrastructure is creaking. We have a housing crisis. Our NHS is stretched beyond help. There's an unemployment issue etc. I actually don't think he's racist. He's saying our country is on its knees and needs to take control of it's borders. The more people we take in in an uncontrolled way, the more we have to support them. If you go to Australia you have to have x dollars in the bank, a job or skills you can offer the country, medical insurance etc. They won't take you over a certain age! Australia is known for sending illegal immigrants straight back without housing them at all. We provide accommodation, immediate nhs care, money.
The more people we welcome the more the population will grow (when they have children etc). We are literally a teeny tiny country - how can it go on unmanaged?
I think that's why he was saying 'just think about it' to her but Nella was just hysterical and screaming in his face.
Should i see myself out?
I absolutely agree. It’s actually a very common thing for someone to say oh I could be your mum/dad she completely blew it out of proportion. Also something else that annoyed me was in the trail she referred to herself as ‘just a girl’ twice I think yet she said to Fred don’t little girl me. She’s ruined any chance of winning if you ask me!I am so so so glad they showed the conversation in full - Fred was making fun of himself for being old. As someone who has lost a parent, I can't relate to her reaction at all.
Yes and he also wasn’t saying that if your parents or grandparents were immigrants he thinks you should be kicked out of the country which was what Nella was implying.That is exactly what he is saying and he gets labelled as a racist for it… he has never said we must shut our borders to everyone, just that it needs to be controlled…
Everyone has mental health - it just depends whether it is good, bad, healthy or damaged.Why do so many younger people have mental health?
I agree with you. It's hard to say in public how one feels about this these days, without getting 'cancelled'I risk getting myself cancelled here, but i think Nigel is only saying that this tiny island of ours can only take so many people.
