The Liberals started a petition to ban Trump from coming to the UK. Here is a petition to BRING him to the UK. "Donald Trump should make a State Visit to the United Kingdom. Donald Trump should be invited to make an official State Visit because he is the leader of a free world and U.K. is a country that supports free speech and does not believe that people that appose our point of view should be gagged." https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/178844

It's the traditional politicians that seem hell bent on seeing the West burn. I think most Westerners prefer Trumps approach to Merkel's " let them all in" approach. I think the Nice and Paris attacks are a warning to Westerners of what the future will be like unless we get people like Trump in. I pray that Le Pen becomes President of France and Geert Wilders becomes President of the Netherlands.

in WW2 America interned people from Germany/ Japan/ Italy etc. I don't think Trump is really doing anything much different...
-
why do you love it so much? is it easy to use? do you get many nicks?

yeah, I hate that feeling of being conned.. you can prolong the life of a razor by rubbing them against an old pair of jeans. I used to get about 5 shaves from my Gillette cartridges, after rubbing them on jeans I get about 30 uses a cartridge. The blades don't actually get blunt with shaving, they just get gunked up with oils. Rubbing them on jeans cleans them.
-
I'm getting fed up with the shaving industry and their "new improved 16 blade razors". I'm thinking of going old school and getting a safety razor. Does anyone use one? I've heard they give a better shave (and less irritation) than a cartridge razor?
-
I think in future decades the election of Trump will be seen as a turning point in history. It seems to be the end of political correctness and "all cultures are equal". imho, we need people like Trump to sort the problems that the Liberals have made.
-
I thinks Trump's ban is about more than just preventing future terrorist attacks. It's about stopping importing a culture that is incompatible with Western secular democracy. A lot of people from the banned countries have medieval beliefs towards women and homosexuals etc. They are also tribal and are don't integrate with the West. They also have atrocious criminality and employment rates. Why would any Western country want them and the cultural baggage that goes with them?
-
Tbh, I think the West is at war with extremist Islam. The fact is that many people from the banned countries hate the West and want to kill us. It seems sensible to greatly reduce the migrants from those countries. Yeah, Mo Farah seems a nice guy and we've all seen the media say how awful the ban is for him. Mo has some brothers. I don't think anyone would complain too much if they were sent back to Somalia?
-
In 2011 Obama banned Iraqi migrants from America. Where were you Liberals then? There are about 15 countries that dont allow Israeli passports holders in. Are you Lberals condemning that? The truth is that westerners don't want third world migrants in their countries. Trump is a politician that actually listens to his electorate. If you Liberals want to blame anyone, blame previous migrants to the West that haven't integrated.
-
Or maybe the migrants come here because we are successful.... Again, if you think migrants are good for an economy should we not be charitable and send them to poor countries? Greece and Spain are in the economic doldrums, do you think they'd be happy if we sent all our migrants to them?
-
100% sure.
-
Only something like the highest paid 20% of households pay more tax than they receive front the government. I think most people here would agree that EU migrants are concentrated in low wage jobs like farming/ service industry and shops etc.... Do you agree that someone on minimum wage will only pay about £1300 a year in income tax and national insurance? Say they work 40 years in the UK and then retire here. That means they pay about £40k in tax/ NI in their working life and then get a state pension of £7k a year for say 20 years. Even ignore schools/ NHS/ transport/ other benefits it's fairly clear most migrants are a drain to the taxpayer.
-
You don't think migration has an impact on the ability of British people to get council houses. Why should anyone listen to your opinion when your grasp on realty is flawed?
-
Someone on minimum wage will earn about £14,000 a year and pay circa £1300 a year in income tax and national insurance. That's no way enough to pay for NHS/ benefits/ schooling etc. The NHS itself costs on average £2,000 a person a year...... The vast bulk of migrants are a drain to the UK.....
-
So we have millions of migrants come to the UK, and you think that has no impact on the availability of council housing or employment for British people? Your argument is the one that is "outlandish". You seem to have swallowed the lies from the Bremain side hook line and sinker. Tell you what, if migrants are so good for Britain should we not be charitable and send them elsewhere? There are many poor countries in the world that surely need those "tax paying" migrants more than us?
-
Just remember that we should be thankful that people like that come to Britain as "they pay tax".
-
Their argument is flawed.... If someone repeats an argument that is wrong is it not a bit stupid? Someone on minimum wage pays very little in tax. The argument that we need low skilled migrants because "they pay tax" is quite frankly a moronic argument... So British workers should lose their jobs and British people should give up their council houses etc because we should let poor migrants into the country? Well it's good that's been cleared up. I guess we should let the entire third world into Britain then.
-
Because the "we need migrants because they pay tax" argument is fundamentally flawed. The vast bulk of migrants don't pay enough tax to cover their cost of healthcare/ schooling/ benefits etc. Migrants are generally a drain to the taxpayer... Tbh, I would expect a fairly stupid schoolkid to know that a migrant on minimum wage will take more from the taxpayer than he pays in tax. i just find it frustrating that so many adults use this argument.
-
I knew someone that worked at a Tesco distribution centre as an agency worker. One week him and all his British colleagues lost their jobs. Next week a group of East Europeans are doing their old jobs at less pay. Then we get absolute morons saying "these migrants are doing jobs brits won't do and paying tax".
-
Just some points: 1. For most of it's history Britain managed to look after itself without millions of unskilled migrants. 2. The sheer number of migrants puts a pressure on the NHS. Or do you think they never need medical treatment? 3. Generally migrants are a drain to the taxpayer. British taxpayers have to pay tax to subsidise the migrants. It looks like you are someone that swallowed the lies put out by the Bremainers crowd.
-
Yeah, we do have a lot of our own underclass... It's not a reason to allow Europes underclass into Britain though. I think most villages/ towns/ cities have East European "Big Issue" sellers. They only come here because they get benefits. It would save millions if we kicked them out.
-
According to the Guardian migrants from some Muslim countries are getting turned away from planes heading to the USA. Trump is handling being President like an absolute boss.
-
The fact remains that we were assured by all the Bremain experts that a brexit vote would lead to IMMEDIATE economic disaster. It's not happened... No wonder we don't listen to "experts". I predict when we do leave the EU it will get even better when we kick out all the unskilled EU migrants sucking the UK taxpayer dry.
-
Lol, I love this. For the last 6 months we've been told that the Leave voters only voted leave because they were too stupid to understand how good the EU was. Then it turns out the UK has been the best performing economy in 2016. Lol, it looks like it's the Bremainers that have been stupid and believed the scaremongering lies that the Bremainers campaign came out with.
