Maremia I think most people who support Reform believe that Reform will do a better job at reducing immigration and they think people who are not supportive of Reform don't care about immigration. Of course, neither is true but if you get all or most of your information from SM algorithms, that push right wing views, and GB news you will be convinced that you are correct because both perpetuate the myth that there are simple solutions to extremely complex problems.
If you read through the Reform manifesto it weighs heavily on reducing immigration as a solution to many of society's problems but doesn't mention the benefits that immigration has brought to the UK or anything with regard to the UK's responsibilities with regard to International law. There is absolutely no attempt to explain why Reform is being financially propped up by foreign donors, many of who have direct links to right wing fascist organisations. If there are any Reform supporters out there please refute what I am saying because I have yet to see any other reasons for people supporting Reform other than immigration.
Yes, so agree foxie48.
I also believe that tensions around immigration are rarely just about race or culture; they are almost always amplified by the pain of economic abandonment - for want of a better phrase.
Failure to address the (continuing) impact of Austerity has probably / possibly contributed much towards the divisions we now have in society. However, I don't see anything in Reform's or Restore's manifesto that would address these matters, in fact quite the reverse... but, hey-ho this is an issue for a separate thread I think.
Much of the argy-bargy on NP threads centres around immigration with accusations of racism, 'fascism' / 'wokey leftism' kind of thing. I don't read every single post, but I don't think I've seen any that should prompt someone to hit the 'report' button although I could've missed them, I don't know.
It's been said that there's an army of non-contributors who read but don't post that scour for comments / posts they don't like and then report them... seems an odd thing, and wouldn't GNHQ become aware of this pattern?
Maybe we have to allow for the fact that people express their feelings or their views differently.
