  • Royal speeches is part of how Parliament operates… The King sets forth what the Prime Minister has told him what the agenda is. Sure, it’s steeped in ceremony and history, but the British constitutional monarchy system has worked for centuries, and anyone who thinks that removing this process will add wealth taxes or is even necessary for wealth taxes is delusional.

    The lady in the video itself doesn’t even say anything about the system. She just states that the agenda wasn’t up to scratch. If anything, the whole system was a benefit here due to the transparency of the Government’s shortcomings laid out by the speech.

    If every wealthy person paid as much into the treasury from their possessions as the King did (typically 70%), we wouldn’t be complaining.

    Lastly, the King isn’t even super-super rich. He had less money than Rishi Sunak did. The King is estimated to have around £500 million for personal spending at the end of the day, which is a lot, but he’s not a billionaire. If anything, it probably calls for reflection that our own King who we dress in gold, silk, diamonds and pageantry isn’t even scratching the surface of the “super wealthy” who are in the billions.







  • How are they supposed to get into the country?

    Through programmes, or if it’s a case where, let’s say they came over as a student or another legal immigrant, etc.

    People in hotels can’t work, they can only start to work if their asylum application is accepted.

    Their intention is that it will be usually.

    There’s even a section in the video addressing this point, but just to reiterate, the conditions for people in these hotels are abysmal.

    Should think about that before boarding a rubber dinghy.

    Most have their claims accepted

    It shouldn’t be if they’re coming from a safe country.

    This is an incredibly callous thing to say and makes me question your sense of morality.

    My logic is simple: if someone is coming to the UK from a safe country, then they aren’t a refugee.



  • Why the needless cruelty?

    To discourage the funding of people traffickers, putting them on small boats and sending them across from France.

    Surely Britain should treat potential refugees better.

    Depends what they’re fleeing from. Afghanistan? Nigeria? Iran? Sure.

    France? Albania (unless someone is at risk due to apostasy or homosexuality/trans identity, etc) No.

    A large portion of these people are just economic migrants - and ones who don’t respect our laws at that, considering they’re trying to weasel their way into our compassion as “refugees”. They see our compassion as something to be taken advantage of. They see how good it is that we give them hotels, excursions and spending money. That we have useful idiot “human rights lawyers” advocating to continue doing this. That’s why they come over in droves, to take advantage of us.

    There are a portion of people who come over from unsafe countries and valid visas, or find themselves here when they would be endangered back at home, and claim asylum out of desperation. I don’t even oppose giving people like these hotels and free classes.

    There are also of course people who want to migrate within the legal framework and the laws. I fully respect these people and they should be treated with dignity like anyone else on this land.

    But anybody who comes across in a rubber dinghy or over the Irish border has already shown full and complete disregard for our country and can sit and think about it on a “prison vessel” until they decide to return home voluntarily, or actually somehow do get approved. I don’t even want to label these people as “immigrants” or “refugees”. It tarnishes and stigmatises the name of actual legitimate immigrants and refugees. Now “asylum seeker” and even “immigrant” can be stigmatised to just mean these people.
