Let’s start caravans here from UK of those who are sick if it.
Millions of emigrants like the old days.
He could be wrong, he could be right.
My ancestors lived on this island since before the Romans came. We are not the ones who should be leaving.
He should do a duet with Morrissey. Aw, they'd never get along.
His parents told him to be proud of being British so he will always was? I seem to remember a time he wasn’t so proud of being British.
Really? My understanding is there weren’t a lot of people left from before the Romans came.
My direct paternal line is Cornish, but every single English person of is of indigenous descent is going to have Brthonic celt ancestry melded into the Anglo Saxons bloodline
My ancestors left.
Hundreds of years ago.
IMO the people of Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts) told the entire Western world what they *really* feel about “immigrants” a few months back. And it seems that working class Englishmen have been sending the same message recently.
Here's what I mean (it will also format without time stamp):

We all know how it works with the modern BBC now. If you're invited on, it's to parrot the liberal message, and if you're not invited on for that reason, it's to be booed and demeaned as a pantomime villain. So when Johnny Rotten, also known as John Lydon, comes on, it sparks a bit of difficulty for the BBC because he's beloved in the public consciousness. He also starts talking about the topics that you're not supposed to talk about.0:25
Britain today is so, so catastrophically disappointed. A lot of this tour that I'm doing will be in seaside towns, and I mean, they really indicate how run down Britain has become. Those used to be fantastic places when I was a kid. Mom and dad would drag us off there for what felt like hours in a traffic jam, but it was absolutely great. It was working-class people throwing sand at each other. Yeah, excellent. And the environment was economically thriving, I suppose. In the seaside towns, everybody wanted a kiss-me-quick hat. It was vibrant, and it's not so vibrant now, is it?1:13
No, it seems to be full of what they are—prospective immigrants, which are really like illegals, not being cared for properly but then shouldn't have been accepted in such vast numbers because it's created a real, real animosity in communities. The division—when you import so many people with a completely different point of view, they're not going to adapt to yours. They're going to stay and bring the problems that they allegedly escaped from.1:49
Listening to this in real-time with someone like Johnny Rotten makes you ask the question: What is it to be punk these days? Or at least, what does it mean to be countercultural? In the 70s and 80s, maybe being punk meant being against the capitalist system, perhaps just some dropout who was anti-everything mainstream. But at the moment, liberal views are mainstream, as evidenced by institutions like the BBC. And this is why establishment foot soldiers like Andrew Marr come back with this typical response:2:17
John, what is the difference? Because after all, if I can put it this way, we imported the Lydons—we imported you a lot from Ireland as well. You were part of the Irish migrant group in North London.2:29
This is why Marr and the rest of the liberal elite want to think that immigration from Africa and the Middle East in the millions is no different from immigration from Ireland over the 20th century in the tens of thousands, despite the Irish living right next door to us, having a long history together, as well as being Europeans and Christians. Yet credit to Lydon in his response:2:48
The first thing my mom and dad ever would tell me when I was very young is, "You're British now. Be British and be proud of it." Most excellent advice, and I followed through.3:01
Now this, of course, is what the vast majority of British actually want. If people are going to come here, at least work at fitting in—at becoming a unified country—rather than all these splintered groups in which people are increasingly distant. And of course, it begs the question: Are all these new arrivals in their millions British? Can they ever assimilate in these crazy numbers that they're coming? Or maybe more importantly, was the intention ever for them to assimilate at all, or to simply break apart the unifying structure within Britain itself?3:34
Even asking these questions can get you in trouble these days. Yet we already know from Tony Blair's aide Andrew Neather, the intention of mass migration when it started with the New Labour Party was to, quote-unquote, "rub the right's nose in diversity and render their arguments obsolete." Well, that has now been completely carried through. And despite the liberal establishment getting it all their way, they don't want to just be the establishment—they also want to maintain the idea that they're the counterculture as well. But of course, they're not. Even Johnny Rotten really isn't the counterculture anymore. The counterculture now exists in anyone who wants England or Britain to survive.
Immigration and Britain are Rotten!
Normans to England to Scotland to Ulster to Virgina to Kentucky to Illinois...God help me!
Maybe...just maybe....Trump in his policy of bringing the best and brightest from all over the world to the US will also target the oppressed confirmed conservatives/Christians in:
Canada
UK
Australia
NZ
Sud Afrika
Northern and Western Europe
Other tribes like us......those internal exiles who can/will demonstrate a fanatical hatred for socialism, oligarchy,nepotism, Islam, atheism, baby-killing....etc.
Basically what our immigrants looked like after 1924 and before 1965.
Unlikely, but I can dream.
But what do I know and I don’t feel strongly about it.
I hope he doesn’t plan to visit Perfidious Albion anytime soon! Keir will probably have him locked up.
He should be careful or they’ll put a hot wire to his head ‘cause of the things he did and said.
A few Freepers have suggested it
It’s now difficult to get into the US from a western country like the ones you mention unless you’re a millionaire on the investment/business Visa
The irony of it considering the amount of illegal immigration going on from the poorer countries.
That is really handy. I had no idea it could transcribe
Only those thought to be ‘far-right’ are arrested for posts on social media
