I think most of those right wingers are against illegal immigration. There's a big distinction here.

I think very few of those so-called right-wingers are -say- against doctors immigrating to one's country if there's a doctor shortage. As long as immigration is all done using legal means. And with proper checks and balances.

I'm a right winger (but not born and raised in the UK). And I am very much against illegal immigration. I also don't want to be required to wear an identity card / passport with me at all times.

Actually, with proper immigration policies in place, the state can be sure that most people inside the state are legal, law-abiding citizens. I don't think in such cases it does make sense to require people to wear an id card with them at all times.

There were just a series of mass race riots by right-wingers across the UK, in which they went around smashing up shops owned by immigrants and beating up people who don't look white. This isn't about illegal immigration. It's about racism.

  • conveniently emitting the fact that this is a reaction to immigrants going around randomly attacking birtish people. If you aren't already consider workong for MSM.

    • No, it's not based on that.

      It was based on a false rumor that spread on social media that the perpetrator of a recent triple murder was a Muslim asylum seeker. It turns out that the perpetrator is a British citizen who was born in Britain and is Christian.

      What this reminds me of are pogroms in Eastern Europe, which were often sparked by false rumors about Jews.

    • That doesn't make it any less racist!

      But please give some more details on that. The only case I've heard about was a single attacker who was incorrectly called an immigrant.
