@RussellTurner you can claim asylum in any country. This is a basic human right. The people who are claiming asylum in the UK are doing so because they have a better grasp of the English language, than say Italian or Swedish. This is typically because English is used in many countries across the globe

[@alexanderromanov737]

these people can vote, its a shame isnt it?

[@Commonsense-u1h]

I don´t think taking people´s votes away is the answer, the answer is to deliver concrete improvements. In large part, Farage won due to abstention. True Clacton will never be the most progressive place in the country, it´s a seaside town after all. But I think a lot of the vote for Farage is an explosion of anger. And yeah, it´s partly these people´s fault, but it´s also the media´s fault for feeding them lies over the years and the fact that we haven´t done a good job at educating a large part of our population. I think also, it´s true, not everybody is equally clever, but people who aren´t that smart deserve to have a decent quality life and future too and I think we haven´t done a good job with that in recent years.

"They said they wouldn't touch the winter allowance" They actually very specifically didn't say anything about the winter allowance. Honestly you should have to answer a handful of questions about each party's policies to be allowed to vote.

[@Commonsense-u1h]

It´s true that a lot of these people aren´t the brightest, or the most well educated, but I think just laughing at them and shouting "morons" isn´t going to help. What might help is actually improving their town. Farage is picking up a lot of votes from sheer anger and he wouldn´t be doing so well, if abstention wasn´t so high either. A lot of people are scared about their futures, and people, no matter their level of intelligence, deserve to have security, a decent quality of life and an education. That´s something we´ve done bad on recently. To some degree, we failed these people (I´m not saying they´re blameless, but they aren´t the only ones to blame), they weren´t given a good education, in many cases they weren´t given good employment prospects and they´re vulnerable to demagogues. True, Clacton is probably never going to be the most progressive place on the planet, it´s a seaside town etc, but we definitely could have stopped Farage winning there.

All those illegal immigrants fleeing war torn France..thank God Starmer is building all these new houses for them.

[@Commonsense-u1h]

For starters, you can claim assylum in any country, and many have claimed in France, there are good reasons for that, i.e someone who knows English, but no French, is likely to do better in the UK, just like someone from Senegal is likely to do better in France as they know French. Secondly, people often don´t know where they´re going to end up, when they are trafficked, they don´t know where they are going. And if you say you wouldn´t pay a trafficker, well I´d like you to try to survive life in Afghanistan for five minutes under the Taliban. Thirdly, it is partly our fault. We helped mess up many of these countries. It´s not uniquely our fault, but it is partly our fault.

[@Alan-Bstard]

@Commonsense-u1h thanks for clearing that up, if it wasn't for you I'd still be thinking that it was mainly young men of a fighting age coming here to milk our generous benefits system dry, I guess their wives and girlfriends just don't like the sea otherwise they'd be here too.

Starmer is a knighted barrister. Corbyns house in Islington is worth 4 million+. Sunnak was worth millions. But Farage is a problem because he is earning money? Both sides of the house were caught up in the expense scandel. The cognative disodence on diplay here is asstounding. There is nobody in parliament representing poor working class people. Farage is just the last throw of the dice. People have been let down by all the other parties.

[@alanmorris3310]

Have you seen the property prices in London?

[@JohnCashin]

I think you've made a very good point there, there is a lot of cognitive dissonance, and I do see it on ALL sides in fairness. One side will accuse the other of things which their own side is just as guilty of but somehow, they ignore it in their own side, yet make a big deal of it when it's in someone on the opposing side. I will say that whilst I can understand why many will turn to Farage and Reform (last throw of the dice, as you said) the reservation I have about Farage is that as a politician, he tends to be focused mainly on specific issues, namely, issues that are connected to immigration into this country, and whilst that certainly is a massive issue, it's not the only issue we have here. When Farage thought that Brexit was done, he went off into the sunset thinking his life's work was done, he was no longer interested in anything else here. Then when it turned out that it wasn't quite sorted, back he came. My fear (and I could be wrong) is that if Farage were given the keys to Number 10, he might please all of the people who want immigration under control and want as much distance from the EU as possible, sure, but when it comes to other matters such as areas with huge deprivation (a problem here long before mass immigration) rights for the disabled, sexism, abortion, climate change etc, I'm not confident that he could be relied upon to necessarily make the best decisions. He just seems to me to be a one-trick pony (Immigration, immigration, immigration, let's keep out of the EU, out of the EU, out of the EU) and what we really need is a PM who can turn to many different concerns, not just one. My fear is that many will vote for him, put him in charge purely because of his keen interest in those issues and forget about everything else that needs fixing as if the former were some kind of a magic bullet that will sort everything else out, it won't. Frankly, I'm disappointed with all of the main parties like Labour, the Tories, and the Liberal Dems at the moment, but if I were to even entertain the notion of voting for Farage and his Reform Party, I would need to hear him talking about all of the other issues and what solutions he has for those and his silence on those other issues is deafening. We need a PM who has a grip on the FULL reality of the country, not just a part of it. Putting someone in Number 10 as the last throw of the dice would be perfectly understandable but not necessarily healthy unless they have a firm grip on reality regarding ALL matters, not just one or two things. Thanks.
