    Yup. And Tory rasism “it is not racist to have valid concerns about immigration” is perceived somehow as legitimate discourse instead being called of what it is - blatantly rasist dog whistling.

      Putting the Tories aside for a second, is it your logic that nobody is allowed to be concerned about immigration 🤔? Because “racist dog whistling” is a strong phrase to use to cover a very wide and complex topic.

        Immigration is benefiting the UK so no, there is no reason to be “concerned”. I accept that there may be very specific situations for certain groups, but it is still benefiting the public as a whole.

        Unless someone “concerned about immigration” is also concerned about too many white babies being born, they are a racist.

          Is it though? Sky high rent, destroying the country side, the NHS is overwhelmed, the rise of the far right, all are caused in part by over population (and high immigration is s causing over population. White people are below replacement rate)

          I realize that the benefits of lower wages and a more abusable work force are attractive, but they simply don’t outweigh the costs.

            Neither of these have anything to do with immigration.

            over population. White people are below replacement rate

            UK is not overpopulated.

            You are the perfect example of a dog whistling racist.

    What a bunch of BS. Islamists run rampant all over the UK and not a peep. A right-leaning patriot puts up a poster and they get arrested.
