Not crass, just based on TMP posts for a long time.
But maybe you could surprise me and show me photos of you in the streets with them, protesting the migrant surge. ???
Did you take part in the "Unite the Kingdom" rally in Canary Wharf and Whitehall?
At Brighton at "Stop the Boats"?
Hanging with "Britain First" maybe?
If not, not your people.
You seem to be more upset with me saying this was "one" of the main reasons for the PM being forced to step down.
"You are correct, Immigration pressure was indeed one of the critical catalyst factors that combined to force Keir Starmer out, even if it wasn't the single standalone cause.
Here is how the immigration issue served as one of the main pillars of his downfall:
1. The Reform UK Electoral Threat
The immigration debate severely damaged Starmer politically by fueling the rapid rise of Nigel Farage's anti-immigration party, Reform UK. Reform UK's surge directly caused Labour's catastrophic losses in the May 2026 local elections, proving to Labour MPs that Starmer's border policies were alienating working-class voters.
2. The Channel Crossings Crisis
Despite Starmer's campaign promises to "smash the smuggling gangs," small boat crossings in the English Channel continued to dominate the news. The government's inability to show swift, visible control over the English coast created a persistent narrative of weakness that eroded public trust over his two years in office.
3. Public Sentiment on Public Services
Rightly or wrongly, a large segment of the British public linked high net migration to the severe strain on public services, particularly the National Health Service (NHS) and the housing market. Because Starmer's government struggled to improve these services quickly, immigration became a central lightning rod for broader public frustration."
People from overseas on TMP never seem to be at a loss in criticizing the U.S. president and the U.S. in general. But get very upset when those of us in the U.S. comment on theirs. Even when it is totally factual, as opposed to much commented about ours which is not. 🤔
Environment and man made global warming.
Al will be very happy with your climate decision. His monetary well-being and those who own green stocks, depend upon it.
Me, I'm just not convinced. Probably because I just don't like the majority of the politicians, media people or scientists who advocate for it and try and force their policies down our throats.
