I think thereās a lot of confusion around rhetoric about immigration and rhetoric about race though.Reform is full of people with views like his, in fact Iād argue that most of them secretly agree with every word he says. A Quick Look at the reform candidate in my area tells me everything I need to know. I actually laughed when I read his manifesto because itās such badly written dirge. Anyone who think that they are anything other than a far right, racist party is deluding themselves.
The apologies have been āsorry if anybody is offendedā which arenāt really apologies at all, this isnāt the first time views like this have been aired. Maybe not everybody who supports Reform is racist but itās making a nice home for a lot that are.Iām going to be the bigger person and post this although Iām on Reformās side overall (anyone who replies with boring reductive stuff about Reform being racist is a small person, this is one incident and the left also have skeletons in their closet) but what disgusting comments Nigel has fired them
Well they must be. Itās their USP. They literally have nothing else.The apologies have been āsorry if anybody is offendedā which arenāt really apologies at all, this isnāt the first time views like this have been aired.

Why is wanting to reduce immigration racist? Theyāre honestly not the same thingWell they must be. Itās their USP. They literally have nothing else.
You realise that most immigrants who come here do all the crappy jobs no one else wants to?Why is wanting to reduce immigration racist? Theyāre honestly not the same thing
A lot of the really crappy jobs are zero hours contracts, many which wouldnāt exist without the exploitation of low skilled immigrants. I agree that some Brits are lazy, sit on benefits etc, but there needs to be jobs with proper support to allow people to actually live. Thereās no reason why they should accept that awful, insecure way of living. The system needs fixingYou realise that most immigrants who come here do all the crappy jobs no one else wants to?
I think thereās been more chat about Muslims etc since we left the EU, eliminating a lot of the EU people coming. There was a lot of chat about white Europeans before that happenedOh come ON. The argument about reducing immigration invariably moves to diatribes about Muslims, Africans, Indians. No-one in the reform party cares about white people 'coming here and taking our jobs.' I am yet to meet anyone in real life who supports Farage who is anything BUT a racist. Immigration has done great things for our country abut all Farage cares about is getting rid of any skin colour that is not white.
I was trying to be balanced, Iām dubious too bit having had a leaflet from them through the letterbox today, they sound on the surface to have some reasonable aims. Dig a bit deeper and you can see they have no clue how to achieve anything positive and thereās a fair bit of othering in there too, blaming others (by which I mean people who have come from other countries) for all the ills of this country.Well they must be.

I like this comment, itās fair and balanced.I was trying to be balanced, Iām dubious too bit having had a leaflet from them through the letterbox today, they sound on the surface to have some reasonable aims.

Lots of people migrating from one area to another can be a problem, even if it is just from the next village however the thing that annoys me the most is the blame that is put on the people moving for stretching resources when nobody in a position of influence cared enough about the people that were already there which is why things were stretched to thinly already.I like this comment, itās fair and balanced.
However I think mass immigration has had an influence on some of the ills of this country. Not immigration or a few people coming, which is great, but MASS immigration. Itās obvious many feel the same way, hence the campaign
I think thatās one of the issues- the levels of immigration are mainly hurting the most vulnerable and poor in the country, but nobody cares about them This whole country just seems a mess and itās a mix of austerity, the rich getting richer and levels of immigration that are too high. I donāt think anyoneās JUST blaming immigrants, but it is an element.Lots of people migrating from one area to another can be a problem, even if it is just from the next village however the thing that annoys me the most is the blame that is put on the people moving for stretching resources when nobody in a position of influence cared enough about the people that were already there which is why things were stretched to thinly already.

Thatās a reason why Nigel is popular- he does actually go and talk to people and engage with them, be chatty etc. Rishi, Starmer etc just do a photoshoot and walk off. It may well be fake, but people like it!
