Thing is Falkland Islanders want to be British.

Those from Chagos archipelago did not want to be and took the British Government to court about being removed from their Islands.

Ok this weekend we need to protest around major cities against the colonialist Argentinians maybe wrap ourselves in the Falkland flag which seems to be a Union flag with a sheep passant.



seems like they aren't excited about adding a sun to their flag

With another 973 crossing on Saturday 5/10/2024.

Looks like Labour's policy on illegal migration is having the same effect as most of its policies, the direct opposite being the rule and not the exception.

That's right, 801 unknown, new people arrived in the UK by illegally crossing the English Channel.

And 685,000 immigrants arrived legally last year. Rendering the number that arrived by small boats somewhat insignificant, in the grand scheme of things.

Truth is, we were conned by the manufactured outrage over small boats into not looking when the legal route flood gates were opened.

Managed and vetted - as in we know who they are. You're forgetting that part.

They were opened by the Blair/Brown government. Quite a lot of people pointed out the risks inherent in such a stupid decision. They were all roundly ignored. Somehow it is now all about Yooman Rites and Racism, so you can't make any kind of a sensible argument without being shouted down by the wokerati.

The only good thing about the high legal immigrations is that it's not killing kids and women.

This article is more than 5 months old‘Honour-based’ abuse in England increases 60% in two years


Global political influence may make assault and forced marriage more frequent and severe, say experts

The number of “honour-based” abuse offences recorded by English police forces has increased by more than 60% in two years, figures suggest, with concerns voiced that increased polarisation is partly to blame.

Data from 26 out of 39 constabularies approached showed that there were 2,594 cases of “honour-based” abuse – which includes forced marriage, rape, death threats and assault – in 2022, compared with 1,599 in 2020.

Oh, right, the Guardian is to be trusted while the Mail/Express/Telegraph/etc. aren't. OK, I must have forgotten that golden rule..

Even it that is true (it isn't, but let's pretend), Honour Debts are a cultural thing going back hundreds of years. What you alluding to is not immigration causing damage, but immigrant families (some more than three generations in the UK) clinging to their medieval beliefs and refusing to adopt the UK's more enlightened viewpoint on things.

The point I was making is that people are dying routinely because criminal gangs that neither France nor the UK seem to be able to affect in any way, continue to pile gullible fools into useless boats for a fee and not giving a toss about whether or not they live or die - or if they even reach the UK.

I don't believe you can conflate the two.

Yes because the Slaver is so much better!

The point I was making is yes the boats are killing people but their medieval culture is also killing people. If the European migrants were bringing Blood Eagles or crucifixion to the UK I would be appalled by it to.
