Immigration: do you agree with this statement?

[OddBeMe]

We are resolved to prevent the settlement in our country of a strange people which is capable of snatching for itself all the leading positions in the land, and to oust it.

Yes

No

I'm an 'expat' myself - and I noticed that ''we'' are a lot more aware of what we are doing- and how we do it, than the natives; who often are simple there because they WERE there.

Anyone who's worried about 'competition' should reflect on his (her/its/whatever) own qualification first, before thinking about restraints towards others.

Churchill famously said "We will fight them on the beaches." Then we built a tunnel so people would get here more easily. For money. Now we have a "diverse" government that wants us cut off from our European neighbours.

Apart from that, everything is going great.

[OddBeMe]

Keep us updated on all that, I feel Britain will become the Congo of Europe. Cuz the rest of the UK is going EU I’m sure…

[AngryCarl]

I just hope we don't become the South Korea of Europe!

[AngryCarl]

I meant North Korea obviously.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah those satellite pics of both koreas at night give me shivers. Those poor northerners.

@andreasderjuengere We're the laughing stock of Europe!

[andreasderjuengere]

I don't think that this is fully true: Sure, the Brexit idea was - errmm- confusing to ''us''.
But overall, the UK still have a reasonably good reputation... when we here exclude football (soccer) enthusiasts :)

[AngryCarl]

@andreasderjuengere We have a good reputation? Obviously we need to work harder to trash it. lol

Actually most English football fans are fine people. Some are just involved for reasons other than football.

If strange people are capable of taking your best positions the fault is with your lack of ability and not them.

[OddBeMe]

Precisely.

[goaded]

Yes. I imagine it was said by a native American.

"capable of snatching for itself all the leading positions in the land" is not something you can say about refugees and immigrants these days, their children or grandchildren might manage it, in a democracy.

[msmissydc]

Thats what I thought of too.

[goaded]

I see some people who would know say it was a Hitler quote? If that's the case, then unsurprisingly he was lying about the Jews for his own political advantage, just before he snatched for himself "all the leading positions in the land".

[jshm2]

No. As White European immigrants did exactly that with Native Americans, and look how that country ended up.

Jews take no blame in that fuckup.

[OddBeMe]

You guys have credit for a while. Tho I’m worried about the right wingers in Israel…

[joeldalton]

Oh I see, you pulled a quote from Hitler trying to go “gotcha” to people who are against illegal immigration. Cause they’re totally the same thing in your simpleton mind. HI-LARIOUS. You lefties are so witty.

[OddBeMe]

Just admit you agree with Hitler on this. I’ll admit he used Keynesian economics wisely to get Germany out of the depression.

[joeldalton]

I don’t play your stupid games.

[zagor]

Yes. After all, Hitler invaded Poland (among other places) illegally. People who support illegal immigration apparently think the only thing wrong with that is how rude they were.

[dustybiker]

That is a hitler quote.

[OddBeMe]

Shh!

[dustybiker]

okay okay 🤐

[Sasahara]

@OddBeMe how long until you pull the gotcha the people you got to agree with Hitler?

[OddBeMe]

I’ll make whatever argument that shows people how wrong they are.

[Anonymous]

That does not really make sense to me. Sorry. And I am an anti-illegal immigration, if that matters.

[QuietRunner]

Assimilation is what is needed
