Suella Braverman’s speech…

Yes you can always rely on James for further racism. People from a particular ethnicity shouldnt be allowed specific jobs. Christ jokers on the left of me jokers on the right etc.

I see your point, but he qualified it with “despise” and I understand that.

I am not aware that he is racist?

No! You omitted part of the clause: Children of immigrants who despise other immigrants - the last few words are important.

Thank you growstuff I began to panic a bit.

Yes you can always rely on James for further racism.

What ?

Hmm Curtaintwitcher- are you part of what makes Britain great? My late FIL was very proud of his teeth, boasting that several of his fillings lasted for 50 + years. His dentist was a Hungarian refugee .The most sought after local GP practice has three popular doctors- not one British born. Thank goodness for them.

Immigrants are often the first to say “no more”

What they really mean is “I’m in, no more unless it’s my relatives”. Those of migrant origin that I know are quite conservative in their views, they’ve worked hard for what they have etc etc.

We've jumped the shark.

Read it again. ?

Just one example of posts on twitter.

@DrWaheedArian
Our healthcare and economy are broken but alive because of refugees & migrants.
UK now rejects every refugee who comes through irregular route to seek safety while no regular ways are available.
I'm one of those refugees who came "illegally". Will you show compassion to others?

More “illegals”

Me & my twin bro Mo moved to the UK from Lebanon when we were 17 leaving our parents behind

Mo was stacking shelves & I was cleaning floors

Life was so difficult back then

Meanwhile, housing these mostly young male immigrants is costing us an eye watering five million pounds a day.

If these young people (for they ARE humans) were afforded the same privileges that Braverman’s parents were given, they would be able to work and, thus, contribute positively to society. This would wipe out the hotel costs. I’m sure they don’t want to be stuck in hotels. They’ve come to the UK for safety and a better life - JUST LIKE BRAVERMAN’S PARENTS.

James O’Brian contrasted two people’s dreams.

What has happened to us?

Children of immigrants who despise other immigrants probably shouldn’t be in charge of immigration policy. They often seem to be dealing with personal issues that shouldn’t be anywhere near the political space. People who protected & defended their parents might do a better job.

??? I just don’t understand why some people don’t get this!

Braverman's dream

I’m just thinking out loud here and haven’t thought it through so please challenge what I’m thinking and saying it, but it makes me think of the caste system in India and some of these MP’s put migrants etc into categories and regard themselves as superior and others as being the unspeakable.

Oh my god, I just can't anymore...
Seriously, how can anyone agree with what she said??

Now mentioning Ann Marie Trevellion in transport getting Britain moving again. Years ago ( 10 +?) standing with Cameron on the A1 north of Newcastle promising to turn it into a much needed dual carriageway. Still waiting for that! They honestly think that we don’t have memories.

Just listened to Zahawi in his speech, talking about how wonderful the UK was for giving his parents safety when fleeing from Iraq. He likes to refer to himself as the ‘boy from Baghdad’. I’m really happy that the likes of him, Braverman and Patel achieved a lot in their lives because the UK welcomed their parents with open arms. Why are they so adamant that others should be denied this

Why are they so adamant that others should be denied this

Because it's easier to blame immigrants than it is to address their 12 years of failure to provide infrastructure, society and the welfare state?

Because it's what some of their supporters clamour to hear.

Because it's what their sponsors and the right wing media want them to say.

Braverman is another scraping from the bottom of the barrel. The Tories need a good few years out of power for rest and relaxation and renewal.

As I have stated before, I am the granddaughter of a dirt-poor ill-educated Italian immigrant. This woman's great grandchildren are all graduates, all working and paying taxes. One of them is in the middle of her PhD. Plenty more of these stories in our collective GN backgrounds, I'm sure.

With James O'B on this, Whitewavemark2 : something about getting safely across the bridge then smashing it to stop others coming over.

Just as terrifying is the self-belief that it is her task and right to take control of the judicial system to curb the protection of the Human Rights Act and judicial reviews of dodgy cases.

Chocolatelovinggran what a successful family you have. You must be so proud of them all and happy to see how they are contributing to society.

My family nearly all ‘Job’ , if you think she’s bad for people who need asylum, wait til you see her plans for law and order! ?

That sounds more like the Conservative party I voted for! She said all the right things and if she were only able to put it all into practise, this country might get back to being Great Britain again.
However, I don't doubt that she'll be blocked at every turn by those who are determined to destroy this country.

The people destroying this country are the corrupt Tories and their cronies and the right wing media who let them get away with it for their own gains. The Tories pretend to be patriots with their flag waving whilst raking it in for their doners or giving them peerages, whilst value for money for the tax payer is of secondary concern. Ordinary hard working people's quality of life has suffered in the past 12 years and since Brexit our rights have started to suffer too.

well done Apricotdessert, you posted a truthful, reasonable and polite reply. I was unable to think of anything polite, or nondefamatory to use in my reply to curtaintwitcher and decided that s/he is not worth getting banned for.
