Police in the UK are crap in 2018: buy a new car, dude, crash with a motorcycle and run away leaving the bike on the street helmet, the police show up after an hour call to dispatch on the radio to check numbers motorbike is stolen number plate is from a car then witnesses told they know where that kid approximately staying police do not care a provide black Mercedes number plate because some random women show up in black A class Mercedes and start asked people about kid wait second you show up 30min later you really care about this kid health status its some connection here police again do not care then another witness explains that kid acts silly already like a mile away from this accident police do not care then they have council camera overhead police do not care they just cry because is a hot summer day and they need to stay outside. Then go to the police station reception woman is hilarious she says ok this is no problem insurance pay off dude this is not about the car you have all that information and never move a finger this is not like a random kid takes her own family motorbike and done mistake it's stolen on top wrong number plates on a top act like crazy you just wait somebody kill next time in my country with all that information they find this kid in next hour we do not talk his smash his helm hard on street on some point his go same day in hospital definitely sad part this is how insurance goes up for everyone in this country because police do not move finger till somebody get injury or die.

8:46 I'm glad someone has pointed out that immigration been used as a scapegoat for all the woes of the disenfranchised people in the UK. People need to stop blaming immigration and look hard at inequality caused by the rich but also themselves in not restricting their own possibilities. Immigration is much less of a factor to inequality than what the super rich have been doing to the working class for generations and especially to the northern communities.

I was not alive, but it sounds like people who fled Germany before 1940s before remainders were rounded up. It is mentally unwell released from forced institutionalization and capital punishment which led to this though. Scientific studies and quantitative data shows leftism is primarily linked to neurosis and indicators of brain damage. They embrace it and see it as a core asset to be applauded and cultivated. Luckly Brits can just grab a shovel and dig down to an ancient abandoned underground and hide out there like Christians did in Turkey until demands to diversify it. Ever look at those underground tunnels? Like Jews were doing in NYC where neighbors heard Yiddish through the walls of her basement. People would find places to escape raids and some to live. People saw this coming for years and were prepping during Obamas second term. Doomsday Bunkers and Zombie apocalypse preppers. Zombies just meant uncertainty and prepping for everything.

My car got driven into by a drunk driver at Whitfield Service Station a few months back, the drunk driver tried to convince me to follow her back to the car park opposite her house so her “mechanic” boyfriend could inspect the damage and arrange for repairs. I told her absolutely not, I’m not following a drunk driver to a random location to meet some random dude. I phoned the police and walked back into the service station (she fled without giving me her details even though I’d asked 3 times) to inquire about the CCTV footage, they rejected me due to data protection laws and the police told me they can’t do anything about it even though they’re treating it as a drunk driver + hit & run but they’ll pass it on to traffic police. It’s been 4 months and I’ve heard nothing. On top of that, my insurance company wanted to write my car off for a dent, scratches and scrapes and told me that if I wanted to do so I would pay due to the value of the car being so old (2005). So, not only are the police useless, but I can’t even take the CCTV footage or claim without having to spend money on a car I didn’t damage.

It's weird to me that he mentions he doesn't blame the cops for all doing a terrible job. Buddy, if they can ignore a brutal assault or major theft because they don't have the time to bother, they can ignore a warrant out on someone over a tweet because they don't have the time. They choose to actively be a part of a broken system and to further it's continuation.

[@MickAngelhere]

The issue is that when the cops arrest the criminals it’s the courts that simply let them off with a warning and then release them back onto the streets to do the same thing again. This happens in Australia, the cops arrest criminals, particularly teenagers who have committed serious violent crimes only to see the courts give them bail and then give them a slap on the wrist. Recently in Queensland a teenage girl was arrested after a police chase in a stolen car, turned out that she was out on bail for the fifteenth time for the same offence. In some cases the cops have to deal with an identity ideology with a certain demographic here in Australia that have a very privileged position in society compared to the rest of Australians.

[@emmab2136-o3v]

Chris you're wrong. It is about immigration. Influx of low skilled workers, willing to work for peanuts, with no understanding or expectation of decent worker's rights, has been disastrous for the working class in Britain. Combine this with the loss of British culture in many towns and cities owing to vastly different and intolerant cultures moving in, and you've got a very unhappy and angry working class.

[@sad_wrangler8515]

It’s all by design, and the culprits are rich investors and companies. I am a foreigner myself, but my entire family tree before 1800 came from Switzerland, so after four generations of absence, I decided to return to the place of my ancestors. However, I have seen how many foreigners behave here. They work for far less and most don’t even bother to integrate the slightest bit into society. Most of the current foreigners have staying permits because companies, driven by globalism, decided it’s cheaper to import labor. At the same time, they ensure that natives only earn just enough to spend each month, minimizing wages. This creates an economy where money flows from the bottom to the top. All the politicians belong to the same class as the rich and have no interest in changing this system. You can vote for whoever you want, but they will gladly continue destroying Western nations. The only possibility for change would be an economic collapse and massive inflation, so that our European currencies end up as worthless as those in the rest of the world. This would make our labor as cheap as theirs, forcing a systemic reset.

[@foroparapente]

Why are these workers getting work visas? Unemployment is 4.3%, clearly they are not making brits unemployed. Also if you shut down work visas, companies will just open subsidiaries abroad, or hire locally at a greater cost which increases your prices. A lot of these work for NHS, and you want to stop this? Stop listening to bad sources.
