"Villagers verbally abuse Scouts they mistook for migrants" (Daily Telegraph)

Hmm. The headline you quoted isn’t accurate or exactly true either *Politicsnerd”. so I don’t think you should be all superior about people “of densest brain who … are not being told truths”.

It seems that you are one of them?

..but these people were British nationals, on a coach, not a boat, so I fail to see how this thread became about boats/ migrants/ Mr Starmer et al.
It was, to put it politely, not that town's finest hour.

I can't forget Reform MP Rupert Lowe hysterically posting that small boats were off the shore at Great Yarmouth and it turned out to be charity rowers.

All the problems in this country but small boats is No. 1 according to most of the media.

Small boats makes up 4% of immigration numbers.

Starmer must have his head in his hands at times, and this morning will be one of those times I imagine.
I was appalled to see the pic of an overloaded boat in the shallows in France with three small children and adults trying to climb aboard. Just hope it made it safely to land .

Anyone care 3 more boats of illegals have arrived this morning so far. Totally incensed we are borrowing money or stealing from pensioners/tax payers to support this. We are funding tickets to football matches, driving lessons plus all accommodation costs.
Let's call for this government to resign if they can't put a stop to all this and deport the thousands already here.
Maybe Trump can help if they can't?

This to PN ….I think we all know the numbers of asylum seekers as it’s broadcast just about every day so nobody has an exaggerated idea of the number.
Then you say to posters ‘but please, continue with the extremist bias if that’s your thing’. That’s nice!

I don’t understand. What exactly is your problem with it? I can’t see a ‘patronising and insulting’ issue on there. Could you explain please?

If you can't see it I can't help you.

I was just thinking the same thing as you MaizieD

Oh I was right then that makes a change

The subheading is "Newbridge residents confuse 30 Scottish teenagers on summer trip for asylum seekers
I’d laugh if it wasn’t so serious - the thought of Scottish scouts seeking asylum in Wales?
First we find these extremists cannot tell the difference between a "small boat" full of asylum seekers and a four person rowing boat, now this

It’s not often I say Hear, hear PoliticsNerd but these 2 news items speak volumes about the level of hysteria fostered by social media.
“Invading Germans disguised as nuns” doesn’t seem so ridiculous any more
Does anybody remember “Reds under the beds “ as well?

The thread on this is under Chat

I know residents living in that area, seems O/P sets herself/himself to judge the intelligence of people she doesn’t know or quite probably never met .

I certainly can think of several far lefts who are certainly of little brain

Yet one poster thinks describing people “of little brain” isn’t
offensive

I hope this thread fades into the obscurity it deserves.
Patronising and insulting are words that spring to mind...

But please, continue with the extremist bias if it's your thing

No chance, it's woven into the psyche now.

Oh sorry no there isn't. I think it is a different area, same kind of thing.

There is already a thread.
