Why wait, why not give us your opinion now on the level of free movement. Don't really want another Conservative blame post though if you can restrain yourself.Ralph wrote:Think I'll wait & see what replaces it after Brexit.paolo wrote:Let left and right unite together to condemn the free movement of people and the massive problems it has caused
Says the bloke that would rather whinge about 'the left' than the government that's been in power for 6 1/2 years.Zambo wrote:Why wait, why not give us your opinion now on the level of free movement.

I know your views on the advantages, but do you see any disadvantages, and if so what are they?
I do apologise for missing this I've been massively busy recently and have had a problem devioting as much time to arguing against the left's insanity as I'd like. But jhoratio's staggering sidestep on reality has left me stunned.Roy Twing wrote:As it was aimed at him, I expected m4rk to have suitably ridiculed horatio for that by now.Zambo wrote:Hillman avenger wrote:
Blair's government did not set out to upset people by importing lots of immigrants and watching them put strain on the benefits system. Not least because there was no reason to do so.
So 'lefties' or 'the left' are to blame even when we've had 6 1/2 years of Conservative government. How convininet. You've constructed a thought process that means 'the left' are always going to be to blame, for everything, in all circumstances, no matter who is holding the levers of power.Zambo wrote:You seem to be under the impression that only lefties appear in Government. They have infested every nook and cranny of society to the point of devestation. A bit like woodworm.
As for freedom of movement, because we did not decide to impose a restriction of labour movement like other countries, from Eastern European states, we experienced a surge in immigration driving wages down and making things tough for our people. For any group to work to the benefit of all, you need all to be on a similar economical footing.
They're not indentical. Net immigration is significantly higher now than when the Conservatives took office despite their cynical promise to cut it to the tens of thousands. A promise they made purely to get votes that they never had any intention of keeping.m4rkb wrote:I do apologise for missing this I've been massively busy recently and have had a problem devioting as much time to arguing against the left's insanity as I'd like.

Does he not remember the famnous rub our noses in diversity comment? He should do because I mention it quite a bit on the grounds of the motivation behind it. And correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the motivation behind it exactly the issue?
Rubbing people's noses in anything is not meant as a friendly gesture. It's is one of spite. It's like trampling through someone's flowerbed because you're jealous of his flowers.
But we've been here god knows how many times and people like Hillman refuse to see the truth of that statement. It was purely intended as an act of left wing spite as admitted by, as Roy pointed out ,Andrew Neather.
so for this reason and many more, I still beleive there is an essental difference between the left and right even though they seem almost identical in policy in practice.
Sorry Ralph I'm not sure why you keep going on about goverments.

Is it possible 'the right' occasionally gets things wrong or cynically makes promises they have no intention of keeping - on immigration for example?
I agree now we're leaving EU it would be utterly bizarre to keep freedom of movement. You don't leave a club & then continue to abide by its rules. But something will have to replace it & other countries might be insist that their citizens get more rights to move to the UK as a condition of any trade deal. I gave the example of India & the fact immigration was a stumbling block to a trade deal with them.
Your mentalitity reasoning sounds like special pleading to me - 'Yes net immigration has risen since the Conservatives came to power but.........'m4rkb wrote:Yes Ralph we know. They are on paper both as bad as each other with the Tories pipping them for top dog in incompetence.
The point I'm making which you lot seem to want to skirt well away from if the mentality in thinking between left and right. So far I haven't come acrosss anyone from the right claiming to support huge influxes on the grounds some other lot won't like it. But that is certainly one commonly found mentality of the left.

Indeed, at least Cameron stood firm when many nutters here were calling for us to open the floodgates to swarms of young males from areas rampant with extremism.m4rkb wrote:I can't argue with that except I voted UKIP. but having failed to get elected or even gain any MPs, I make no secret of the fact I far prefer the tories to Labour. They've sure got some shite in their ranks but they haven't got Dianne Abbot , that other fat harridan Emily Thornbury who despises working class voters or penty more like them.
Again,despite similar failures on important issues, it's still a question of mentality and intention with me.

God knows how many Corbyn would have let in.

No but they have increased net immigration since they took office which is what we're talking about. The Tories 'intention' was to allow net immigration to increase. Look at the levels of immigration from outside the EU which they can control if they wanted to.m4rkb wrote:I can't argue with that except I voted UKIP. but having failed to get elected or even gain any MPs, I make no secret of the fact I far prefer the tories to Labour.

Whatever Ralph, youve completely ignored several of mine and one of Roy's posts about this being not just about political ruling, but apart from that I don't see any right in power. If you think there is you must be pretty far left.Ralph wrote:

They're virtually indistinguishable politically, but the tories appear to have fewer morons (for want of a better word).Ralph wrote:I think the Tories are centre-right.

I don't love the reds. I think they're a complete shambles. But this issue of immigration baffles me. Tories promise to massively reduce net immigration (at two elections) & instead increase it by quite a large amount. You'd think their position would be indefensible but some here seem to think it's their duty to make excuses for them.Roy Twing wrote:They're virtually indistinguishable politically, but the tories appear to have fewer morons (for want of a better word).Ralph wrote:I think the Tories are centre-right.

It baffles me why you hate the blues so much and love the reds, - is it a tribal thing?
