I know this will piss some people off but Tony Blair is still the best Prime Minister of my lifetime. He transformed this country for the better but it became trendy to slag him off. If we’d have stuck to his lessons, none of this crap would’ve happened.

And funny if someone comes here to seek solace, then they are migrants, if our so-called middle class move to Spain they are ex-pats, how does that work, it’s back -door racism

Why is immigration a bad thing?
-
Immigration per se may or may not be bad. Without a conversation about the purpose, the resources, the infrastructure, the end game it's a meaningless question.
-
Agreed - I just think it's a lazy argument tbh. Benefits far outweigh the negatives.
-
Well that's the discussion that's rarely had.

His Twitter handle says ‘Comedian’ funny fuc*er




-
It became "trendy" to slag him off is quite a funny line. Made me laugh.

I know it’s the role of shock-jocks to polarise & simplify complex issues but if people were to stop using the word migrant like it’s some kind of cancer, there might be a chance that debates could be had that don’t rely on lazy xenophobic stereotypes.

You do realise that migration didn’t occur only in one direction?! A lot of us Brits moved the other way.
-
How many?
-
Only about 1.5 million
-
And we let in how many a year since we let open the Tony Blair gate
-
You voted No, you tell me. I'm one of the 1.5 million Brits in Europe, wasn't given a vote

Surely they're just European "ex-pats"?

I think you’ll find that your Tory paymasters could’ve shut that door at any point in the past 9 years, but haven’t. Why is that?

But Brits abroad are just expats, right?
