Sensible centrist: Unless you agree with me you're poising the national debate and that you have the ability to express an opinion anonymously online is something we need to address.
"This whole issue has been toxified by people primarily on the hard right."
Labour MP Steve Reed says the asylum housing debate in places like Piddington has been stirred up by right-wing parties and led to "racial hatred".

This cunt has been sentenced for less time than Russell Brand.
He killed a 12 yr old boy and went on the run, Brand’s whore changed her mind decades later and reported it to journalists not police.
This country is fucked!

Andre the Giant left home at 14, vanished for five years, and his parents didn't recognize him on TV. Ric Flair claimed he drank 106 beers in six hours. Another story says he passed out after 119 and was covered with a piano cover. Too big for airplane toilets, he reportedly used a bucket. He died at 46 and was reportedly flown to America for cremation because no local crematorium was big enough.
In the video below Andre the Giant sits down for a rare 1970s TV interview.
His grandfather was 7'8". By nine years old Andre was already bigger than every kid in school. His father said he'd probably end up the same size.
He left the farm with nothing. Told his father he didn't want that life. His father gave him two weeks. He never came back.
He changed his name and did whatever he could to survive in Paris. For five years he never called home.
When he finally knocked on the door, his brother recognized his face from a broadcast the night before - then closed the door for ten minutes because he couldn't believe it. Andre started asking questions about their missing son. Then switched to Polish, the language they only spoke at home. That's when they knew.
He became the highest paid wrestler in the world. Guinness Book of Records confirmed it. Hotels couldn't find beds big enough. Taxi drivers charged him double for his size.
At 11 he watched a man arrive at the farm in a horse-drawn carriage with a chauffeur. Told his father he wanted to live like that. His father told him to quit dreaming and keep working.
Was Andre the Giant made by the wrestling ring, or by the 14-year-old who walked off a farm and refused to come back empty-handed?

If you don't believe that free speech is under threat across Britain, consider these three recent cases.
In England, a retired police officer is in court today, appealing against a conviction for having posted a satirical meme about Islam on Facebook.
In Scotland, a man has just been acquitted after being prosecuted on the strength of dashcam footage which revealed he had said something racist under his breath and in the privacy of his own car.
And in Wales, an elected member of parliament has been banned from speaking in the chamber because he raised concerns about the pace and scale of demographic change.
Now perhaps you'd like to think again.

I haven’t been impressed by the people of Piddington. Their so-called independence referendum was a farce, and whenever they have spoken about illegal migrants, it has invariably been from the perspective of “can’t they be dumped somewhere else?” rather than asking why the government isn’t deporting them.
Had these migrants been housed in a working-class village in Wales or northern England, they wouldn’t have batted an eyelid, let alone shown the slightest sympathy for the people living there. Piddington’s councillor even went so far as to suggest that what the Home Office really needs is international solidarity!

You may think it's a good or bad thing that the indigenous white people of these islands may be in a minority at some point this century. You may think it doesn't matter at all. That's fine; everyone is entitled to their view. But for one of our national parliaments to ban an elected member for raising concerns about it is absolutely scandalous. In defence of free speech, and even if you oppose his views, we should all stand with Joe Martin.

I find the whole idea of benefits to people who work full time repulsive and counterproductive.
Whenever I mention PIP I always get "but people on PIP work". They don't, only 15% of people on PIP work, but that's not the point.
If you can work, then you can support yourself. If you have some extra costs associated with an ailment you have then that's unfortunate, but it's not the states job to subsidise them. There are a whole lot of reasons outsides of health that people have greater costs than others, we don't subsidise those.
The same goes for UC for people in work. We should not be subsidising people do live beyond what they can support themselves, especially with an ever increasing minimum wage. It's market interference. The taxpayer is subsiding employers paying lower wages, or landlords charging higher rents.
In my opinion, this is a big driver of low productivity in the UK. We removed the incentive to strive for more.
When I was younger benefits were for those that could not work, the truly disabled, and they should be supported. They for those out of work temporarily but who had to find a job within a reasonable time. Until Tony Blair, benefits for working people were rare. Now people expect it.
This is a zero sum game. Every work shy 22 year old with "anxiety" is taking money from a genuinely disabled person that does need help. I believe many people that have genuine need for support don't get anywhere near enough because so many people that don't are diverting it from where it is needed.

Bukele obvs imperfect & there's probably a fair bit of grisly detail beneath his successes, but it is incredibly refreshing for there to be a national leader who takes a very basic "What if we used power to crush wicked people and protect good people?" position.
