"Immigration has done incalculable damage," Starmer will NEVER be forgiven for these words.

One of the countries that doesn't get to complain about immigration is Britain. I can't think of anything more hypocritical than a British person complaining about another human being, upping sticks from their homeland, travelling around the world for a new life! When they still glorify their long dead Empire.

A few things come to mind when I read words like Starmer's - the reason some British people don't want people coming into their country is because they are frightened they will

@Geri

behave like they did when they rocked up to their shores.

Also, you shouldn't have went around the world proclaiming that everything and everyone they saw was now British and belonged them, this one of the consequences of that.

Of course, they want to come and see how great Britain is, you told them it was.

Do British people ever stop to think about the damage it did when it rocked up to the countries that they took over? That is the reason I speak English not Irish.

@jacqui76 @Geri To be fair, it was mostly the Normans back then--the English were just their little minions at that point, watching and learning. How cool would be if we all spoke French, now tho?
Ça clâsserait sec!
@sothach @jacqui76 English, by virtue of the fact it has more words, is more sophisticated xx
@Geri @jacqui76 I've gotta say, I've come to appreciate English as the true pan-European language tho. It's all in there, from a base of raw Saxon, the Celtic creolisation, Latin, Danish, French. You couldn't create a conlang more representative of the people and history of this corner of the world.
