I have to give blood at our local JW church (oh, the irony) and it pisses me off that you're not allowed to have a cup of tea there! I took my own bottle of coke in once and they told me I couldn't have it. I'm literally there to give a pint of my blood, let me have my tea!

Just say "I'm not being bossed by ghosts. You all died in '75 - you just pretended that prophecy failed!"

But we're talking about the effects of migration to the UK? So what does the Middle East have to do with it?

people from the Middle East also migrate here? I couldn’t tell you the amount of times Iv read an article of a woman/underage girl being raped and the perpetrators name was Arabic. I think it’s pretty well known that when this is the case the left are no longer interested, but you can bet if the name was something like ‘John smith’ it’s headline news. Mabye look a bit deeper than the guardian and BBC news.

Kids should not be allowed to attend the school their parents work at.

There's a girl in my son's year who's got a lead part in the Nativity for the second year running. Her Mum works in the office. There's been a lot of grumbling and bitching between the other Mums about it. It's not fair on the kid, because it will always be seen as favouritism, even if it's not meant to be.

My Auntie works in a different school office, and she told the staff not to give my cousin any lead parts in plays etc, because she didn't want it to look like favouritism, so she missed out.

In both cases, it's not fair on the kid.

Surely if you're talking about grooming gangs it's not the Middle East? That's why I'm unsure of what you're referring to.

Where did I mention grooming gangs? You said more white right wing men become rapists in this country than immigrant men and I’m pointing out to you that it will just seem that way because white right wing make the news and immigrants, especially Middle Eastern men will have these stories swept under the rug.

If it's swept under the rug then how are you finding all these articles about men with Arabic names raping women?
 
Calling a white woman karen is racist to her.

An arabic name doesn't mean you are from the middlee east. Most Pakistani bengali and afghani names are arabic

They are reported in more local news articles than the mainstream media and I follow many accounts on Twitter that highlight these articles. It’s also pretty easy to find if you are going online to look for them, which I’m guessing you wouldn’t.

Disagree with that, JW’s operate in a cult like way and if you leave they will not speak to you anymore, that’s including your own family.

Over lockdown I seen a sign in a window whilst walking the dog about how to cope mentally through lockdown and what could save us etc. There was a website at the bottom so I typed it out, never giving it a second thought. It was only bloody JW website. I thought duck that, I’d rather not cope with lockdown.

Of course if you follow Farage and Julia Hartley-Brewer et al on social media you're going to get those stories. No hidden agenda there at all. Not one.
 
People who voted for Brexit giving out that they dont get the same rules as Europeans.
Example; I was travelling a few weeks ago to Europe and there were people from England/Britain complaining that their Covid certs were not accepted and that the NHS cert should be accepted in Europe. You voted to leave, TOUGH!
 
This is a really boring opinion but having just come back from a walk I need to vent! Why don't more people pick up litter from in front of their own homes? Bin day was yesterday so there's the inevitable odds of litter that got dropped or something, masks etc all over the pavements and people just leave it, because presumably they think it's someone else's problem. Whether bin day or not, I will always pick up litter from around the front of the house because it's the right thing to do, and I have pride in my home. I wish more people did.

I don’t follow either of them 😂 I actually can’t stand Farage so I would never follow him. Hilarious that you think because I care about these kind of issues that I fit into that stereotype though.
