Common Sense

[Khandro]

If you know of any parliamentarian of either the left or the right persuasion who has more of it than this man, I'd like to know who it is. Please don't ask me for a synopsis, either watch it or don't bother;

[tomus42]

Can you give us a quick synopsis?

[Hopkirk]

Pretty please.

[JimF]

Synopsis: white, middle-aged northern Tory with a northern accent to make him seem different from the posh Tories advocates sending people attempting to enter the country illegally back where they came from on the same day they arrive.

[Gromit]

There are other news outlets other than YouTube.

Many of us do not want to waste our time watching right wing propaganda videos by obscure marginal self publicists.

[naomi24]

Khandro, that video is over half an hour long. Be serious. If you want to discuss its content have the courtesy to give a short synopsis.

[Maydup]

Didn’t bother.

Ha-ha, with 10 years down the pit under his belt.

khandro has latched onto yet another personality to follow because they put on a tough guy act and moan about wokeness

[Peter Pedant]

um I think of around a thousand things wrong with Plan A ( send 'em back in their leaky dinghies and then open up when they are on the horizon!)

The frenchies arent saying" Geev zem to urse!" - that is my translation of donnez-nous-les!
and
there is this stuff called due process ( 5 mins isnt enough to decide if they have grounds to stay )

otherwise - - - foo ! good say !

[Peter Pedant]

Ha-ha, with 10 years down the pit under his belt.
oh, well, he'll have met and dealt with alot of immigrants then

[Peter Pedant]

Reader beware
the only common sense on this thread is the title
ter-daah !

[Khandro]

Family of 5 on £52,000 benefits per annum - no one working.
Business owner wants as many immigrants as he can get because they are cheaper to employ than Brits.

[Gromit]

// Family of 5 on £52,000 benefits - they are cheaper to employ than Brits. //

Employed people don’t get £10K benefits too.

[youngmafbog]

//Employed people don’t get £10K benefits too.//

What does that mean?

Some get benefits, some dont. Amount of benefits will vary depending on personal circumstance.

[andy-hughes]

If you equate grandstanding populist views from someone who has impressed Khandro because he's worked down a coal mine, and that apparently qualifies him to offer his views in this self-aggrandising manner, then you can confirm that this man has 'common sense'.

Since he is nowhere near a government post which would enable him to enact his views, he remains another right-wing spouter of the sort which Khandro applauds, and wishes the rest of us would applaud also.

Personally, I don't - so I didn't bother, as advised.

[THECORBYLOON]

GROMIT, "// Family of 5 on £52,000 benefits - they are cheaper to employ than Brits. //

Employed people don’t get £10K benefits too."

You have used "// //" to indicate a quote but it's not, is it?

You have conflated parts from separate sentences and changed their meanings.

I wonder if Khandro realises that rior Anderson's was once a Labour councillor but He was suspended in Feb 2018 after being given a community protection warning for using huge rocks to stop members of the Traveller community from making camp in the nearby area.
A month later he defected to the Conservative Party.

[ichkeria]

I'd say Lee Anderson would be well down my list of sensible MPs
I saw him being interviewed on something a while back and was not impressed. I thought it was a parody to start with.

[Khandro]

Thank you Corby, the AB illiterati don't understand that a full stop ends a sentence, and in that case a paragraph as well.

Placing large rocks to prevent Travellers from pitching up on beauty spots & sensitive sites is common practice. It was done all over the Cotswolds by the Hyper-Tory council when I lived there. The reason it's done is to prevent the filth & mess left behind after a visit - & I know, I've helped clean it up.

If you want to know (which I'm sure you don't) why he left the Labour Party, you can listen to the video.
