Trans activists and other left wing activists are well organised and well aware of the trouble they can cause for a couple of reasons. First, they and their representatives who wrote the laws. Second, they and their organisations (“charities” sic) have been paid by all sorts of state orgainsations to train their staff in these ways. The police included. Potential effects on trade terms would clearly be very seripous for us. From a cultural and political point of view the it would be very serious if it was possible that US and other overseas citizens might stop coming here out of fear of being arrested when leaving their aircraft. That seems very likely. Why would a celebratory or business person or a US politician come here and risk arrest by armed police. That could destyroy our tourist business. If the US worries about this so will everyone else and so they should! I would advise my friends to consider if they have ever had any interest in woke issues before coming here. The College of Policing is one of those non-statutory quangos which seems to have more power to make law than Parliament. They are unaccountable and unelected butr (I… Read more »
Governments and Parliaments since the 1970s at least have allowed the ECrHR to expand its remit and intrude in areas for which it was not intended. The sortys of people appointed as “judges” is unacceptable and a self-generating development of law is and always has been unacceptable.
The comment about complaints by the hard left are not fair. They were usually violent whereas the freedom and free speech ones are calm. The Met has continued to allow HAMS and their friends to march calling for the murder of the Iraeli population and jews generally with very few arrests.
In LB Newham the Hamas flag was put on public property (including lamp posts) and it was reluctant to do anything about it. When they were removed the flags quickly came back. This went oin for a year before the last general election.
To say we are a long way from Ulster (in respect of flags and reaction to cultural competitors) is overly optimistic, IMHO.
Your guest said we need more and more care workers every year. There are hundreds of thousands already here and millions who could work who don’t. Why not use them? What evidence is there that an economy of (say) 71 million is viable whereas 70 million is not. There is no such evidence.
The guest did not complete the sentence about competing cultural histories. We will undoubtedly have violence on a much greater scale than already between the various cultures who have come here. They were invited to come and multi-culturalism was promoted by the political elites from Blair and Straw onwards.
So why should those minorities adopt a moderate way. The political elites told them it was OK to demand everything for their culture.
