I agree with every word you say. The reason I am anti illegal-immigrant is a matter of national security. While resources are a part of it, I don’t blame them purely for the country’s problems

I didn’t see much issue with what she said. I think Labour is coming up with a sensible strategy
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 2 days ago:
This means illegal migrants account for 4.5% of all people entering the country and yet account for 100% of the anti-migrant sentiment.
…yes, in fact, I strongly disagree with anti-migrant sentiment. I am talking about illegal immigration here. I don’t get how this is related. I think we need to stop blurring the lines between legal migrants and channel-hoppers.

It’s some weird nonsense about the Home Secretary deporting herself written by a decaying white guy

What’s the 39 thousand statistic?

Don’t get what’s happening - so he’s being chased by people smugglers in France? Or was he just attacked on the streets in paris unrelated?
Sounds like it’s France’s problem, I don’t see how it’s ours.

I don’t think she’s done any of the sort? Didn’t she just make it harder to get Indefinite Leave to Remain as a refugee?

Weird how they haven’t called me up to be vaccinated if this is the case. I have been called up before but apparently I am not eligible for one this time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah yes, British democracy. The bringer of Brexit, Boris Johnson. The mess we are in now cannot at all be blamed on His Majesty the King or her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but on the democratically ruling public. Sure, democracy in it’s current form is definitely good for keeping the government to account, (a ranked choice system would be nice but that was democratically rejected in a refurrendum) but I do not trust the British public with selecting a head of state at all. America already made a pigs ear of it, the only country that seems to do it decently off the top of my head is Ireland, which has been rather untouched by populism and has a population of 5.4 million. And even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect a knobhead at some point.
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 4 days ago:
The King can appoint anyone he likes as prime minister and anyone he likes as lords. The Royal Family only follow a predictable tradition. The King carries command over the armed forces, police, etc. I do not trust an elected official with that role. The fact is, the Windsor family (as they are now called but have gone through different name changes) have been custodians of this land for almost 1000 years and in the last 300 have done an excellent job at keeping it. The biggest threat was Edward VIII who was swiftly removed from power anyway.
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 5 days ago:
It’s significantly worse. President Farage could remove elections, suppress democracy, etc. The Prime Minister doesn’t have command of the Military either, all commands have to go through His Majesty The King.

It’s kind of like a necessary evil. Personally, a system of inheritance doesn’t sit right with me. But the fact of the matter is, it works and is stable. And larping as a kingdom is also pretty fun.
- Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday 6 days ago:
Tbh I think we have a lot to be thankful for in the BBC. I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect system or broadcaster. The monarchy has worked for the UK for centuries. We haven’t slipped into fascism - the type of coup people describe Trump as doing would most likely be impossible in our lifetimes in the UK under the monarchy (depending how George Wales turns out, but he has good parents)
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 6 days ago:
Hopefully one day the British state will get rid of the embarrassment of being headed by a family of nepo babies.
President Farage, anyone?
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 6 days ago:
But the law is passed in the King’s name
- Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday 6 days ago:
George V was also pretty based. Essentially, the House of Lords kept rejecting the Common’s bills to limit the Lords so he threatened to fill the Lords with people who won’t reject it.
We’ve been pretty good with monarchs in recent history anyway, barring Edward VIII
Sure, you can complain about the system, but now we have a funny old man who likes nature and pedestrian based affordable towns who’s worst flaw is that he cheated on his wife compared to his clownterpart across the pond who’s done it several times.
- Comment on In the spirit of the King's Birthday 6 days ago:
I don’t think that happened in September 2022 unfortunately. It would have been a great time to.

Went from manhood to knighthood
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 1 week ago:
It is used to recognise “valuable voluntary service to the community or meritorious and faithful services to the Crown or similar services within the public sector, whether in elected or appointed office”. Considering as prince of Wales he was patron of many charities and even started his own affordable housing project in the UK, I’m sure it’s for something more than that

They aren’t war medals- medals can be given out for different reasons. He did serve in the army, though.

Then let’s do that, then.
I assume you ignore the actual numbers of illegal immigration. Vs legal. It’s under 5%. Of all immigration.
I don’t see how this is relevant.

Somebody, give this man a knighthood!
