Who allowed Birmingham to get like this?

This might be over 20years old but it was prophetic in more ways than one in that the demographer who compiled the information for this wanted to remain anonymous for fear of being labelled racist there would be more than that fear in Starmers UK.

I would rename it fair right. The situation we have at present isn't fair to anyone, immigrant or native.

Actually that's  a very clever way T00ts of deflating the illiberal liberals.

[T00ts]

I agree T00ts but that doesn't mean you won't be labelled far right in the present climate.

To be fair, we elected people based on their manifestos. None of which ever said they would flood the country with immigrants from a foreign culture.

That's true enough but even the most loyal of party loyalists must now see the main parties are just the same cheeks on the same arse .
I guess Reform are our last chance , next stop will then really be the Far right

I have no problem with having an open door for people truly in need or want to start afresh here, but we are being invaded by too many who are not interested in supporting the country that is supporting them. They are here mostly for a free ride, or at worst, part of an invading army. I just don't understand why successive Governments are appearing to be blind to the potential threat.

Just which side does anyone think they will fight if/when the call to arms comes?

We did by electing people who allowed it

Import the third world in the numbers we have and there was never going to be any other result . Its not as if we were not warned but those people were shouted down as xenophobes and racists .

Its growing problem ,almost every major city in the UK is the same to some degree

There is some bad language, but I've heard worse.
Birmingham Mayor, take note.
