Too simplistic!

Re: Interesting political poll

Yeah I think this poll is too simplistic and mixes two times of left/right scales, there is left/right economic (socialism v capitalism) but also left/right social/libertarian/authoritarian/conversative scale (liberals v traditional conservatives). There are a lot of socialists who are very left wing economically that are opposed to open borders because they believe it drives down wages and waters down a sense of community. A lot of the left wanted to leave the EU, look at people like Tony Benn, Arthur Scargill, Bob Crowe, Dennis Skinner etc.

I think a lot of people on the left welcome some immigration, want to help refugees and hold nothing against those looking to better themselves but at the same time don't want to see massive capitalist organisations exploiting freedom of movement to pay workers less.

In a democracy, as any group grows in numbers their social and political influence increases. In Islam’s case do you think this is good for our country.

You think opposing mass migration, predominantly of young males, is far right. No it’s simply common sense.

do you think wanting to stop a person from entering a country based on their religion is centre ground?

The premise to the poll is a fallacy. You are telling me I am totally disillusioned and yet strangely I am not?

Nuclearblue wrote:Centre ground, Anti Islam, anti mass immigration

Anti-Islam and anti mass migration may be centre ground amongst you and your mates but most would describe it as far right. All you are really suggesting here is that half the options are far right therefore far right represents 50% of the electoral spectrum and therefore is mainstream. In reality it represents 2% of right wing nutters that are grossly overrepresented on this board.

Left/right are just labels, according to many everyone who voted leave is extreme right.
Now can you answer the simple question I posed.

MOST WOULD? you mean you and your mates ?
go ask the native Americans or the aborigines their views on on how mass immigration worked for them..
i would imagine the vast majority have considered how mass immigration has panned out historically..and to some degree are concerned.doesnt make a person having these thoughts far right or far left.
think its a bit pathetic tbh that anyone { you } feel you need to have restrained thinking just incase Dave 68 begins to think your less of a comrade.

Okay i'll bite and answer the question.. who decided it was 'our' country? who is 'our'? because i know muslim lads who are currently enrolled in the forces, i worked in community work and met islamic families whose parents and grandparents had fought alongside 'ours' in ww2. infact millions of muslims fought alongside 'ours' in that war and we didn't complain about their 'political influence' then im pretty sure.

i know muslims involved in charitable work, working with people that 'our' people have ignored and neglected. there are also many involved in every other area of life because they are normal people not some kind of cult trying to burn the british flag.

so no, i don't think theyre a threat, yes they have added to our country and should be allowed a say in politics as everyone who resides here should, and the snobbery that you are more british than a british muslim is ridiculous.

Please tell me that was a joke, if you're stopping people from entering a country because of their religion then by definition the policy is to stop a person from entering based on their religion.. dont think you honestly thought i was referring to a political stance of stopping one muslim bloke from entering the UK? surely?

Source: Racial Equality ‘Is Under Attack’, Experts Warn General Assembly, Urging States to Mark International Day by Stamping out Discrimination, Intolerance

ANTÓNIO GUTERRES, Secretary-General of the United Nations wrote:... citing an alarming rise in xenophobia, racism and intolerance — including anti‑Semitism and anti‑Muslim hatred — he said far-right political parties and neo‑Nazi views were similarly seeing a resurgence. Meanwhile, refugees and migrants were systematically denied their rights and unjustly and falsely vilified as threats to the societies they sought to join. Calling on all people to consider how they could better promote tolerance, inclusion and respect for diversity, he said messages of hatred and the concept of “us” and “them” must be eliminated. “Let us keep in mind the grave consequences of such thinking — discrimination, slavery and genocide,” he stressed, adding: “We must always stand up to leaders who spread their toxic vision of racial superiority, especially when they couch it in sanitized language to denigrate migrants and foreigners.

well you either tried to reduce it all down to 1 person in the hope others are dullards
or you can not see the huge difference
muslim pop went from

Stone Age is a measure of their technological development.

Neither the Native Americans nor the Australian Aborigines had a Bronze Age or an Iron Age.

Now don't you feel really stupid?

You seem to be missing the simple point, AS NUMBERS GROW political and social influence increases. Personally I don’t believe Islam is compatible with our society, we already have numerous Sharia courts operating in the U.K. the insidious spread of Wahhabism is concerning, Halal food is the norm in schools, hospitals and supermarkets. The Holy Trinity of those who claim socialist credentials was always womans rights, animal rights and gay rights not anymore, none of these groups are well treated under Islam but Islam trumps every other groups rights. Inevitably as the number of Muslims increases these groups will suffer more.
