It's not just a case of feeling threatened, I actually have been threatened, more than once. I've considered writing to my MP, but since that's Jess Phillips, I know she wouldn't do anything.Martin Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 9:33 amI already am in Leicester. Everybody is. You would feel far less threatened if there was public luxury and private sufficiency for all, I suggest. But we'll never know. I sympathise. I have loved ones who feel similarly to you. But I have little sympathy for a bullying multi-millionaire. The ruling class will continue to divide and conquer us, set us against each other nonetheless.Maia wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 9:16 amThe ruling class have been exploiting the hated and despised native English since 1066, and now that they don't need them any more, they're having them replaced. Why on earth would I want to raise a family, for example, knowing that my children will become a minority in their own homeland in just a generation or two?Martin Peter Clarke wrote: ↑Sun Aug 03, 2025 8:22 am
: ) I suspect we don't mean the same one. I mean the one that has already won, the one hiding in plain site. The ruling class. The land owners. The cornerstone of capitalism. Liberalism is failing everywhere as it, they - rightly - can't raise income and purchase taxes (on consumables, including vehicles, and services) on the squeezed middle any more. Despite Trump doing exactly that with tariffs, which, along with the conspiracist feeding frenzy, may well, Ouroboros, doubly bite him in the arse. Until the land is freed (and don't worry, it never will be, not until the next, deferred ice age), cannot be owned, only rented, all back rent paid for a thousand years, there can be no further move to social justice, as capitalism intrinsically cannot deliver it. I see no other enemy within. Only above. All the media are owned by the ruling class you know. All politics, all legislation. So we will continue to have private opulence and public poverty. And fight over table scraps. A Reform government won't be able to stop the boat people either. Without killing them.
You're right about Reform. Farage is a liar and a sell-out. At one point, last year, I was even thinking of joining Reform, but I'm very glad I didn't, after the way they treated Rupert Lowe.
I don't know if you're referring to Rupert Lowe when you say bullying multi-millionaire, but what I do know is that he has been instrumental in bringing the rape gang issue to even greater public awareness. We need more politicians like him, who'll say it how it is. He has also, incidentally, helped promote an organisation called the Women's Safety Initiative.
