While there is legitimate debate over how authoritarian some policies in Australia or the UK might be in the past few years, these measures operate within established legal frameworks, with judicial oversight and public scrutiny. Even if you view them as overly restrictive, they don't stem from a single "contrarian" movement with a coordinated political agenda. Moreover, neither government is rewriting history to erase specific groups. The fact that hate-speech or migration laws exist doesn’t equate to people being arrested or deported without due process, nor does it imply some monolithic campaign to censor or remove entire populations from the record.
- johnisgood 2y agoYou are right, the UK adores mass migration, look around larger cities, such as London or Birmingham. :)
- labster 2y agoIf the UK didn’t want immigrants, they shouldn’t have colonized half the world and took their stuff

- labster 2y agoHi Liz! Looks like it’s time to update my profile, sadly I’m doing more PHP and Lua these days (wish it was Raku, it’s much better, but that’s how it goes)
- johnisgood 2y agoThey are, and I am entitled to not associate with them in any way, and tell others to do the same, for this specific comment alone. It says a lot about his views. Like seriously, because the UK a long time tried to conquer parts of the world, mass migration to the UK today is somehow OK? Slavery should be OK, too, according to him, then, since all races have been enslaved at some point in time of history. It is extremely poor reasoning, in poor taste. You should know better.
- labster 2y agoMy comment made zero moral judgements. History has consequences. Spreading the English language to over a billion people while enriching Britain means a lot of people will want to live in a rich place where they can speak the language, for generations to come. Whether immigration is good or bad is kind of irrelevant to the argument.
- johnisgood 2y agoYou appealed to what "UK" did in the past, though. Same thing applies to slavery, then, since every race has been enslaved before. Would you say slavery is OK, too, considering it has been common practice by then by race or nationality X?
- tim333 2y agoIt's complicated. Most traditional Brits don't want that but a lot of the asians are UK citizens and bring in brides / grooms from asia to marry so the numbers double roughly each generation. Maybe as India gets richer and the UK economy flatlines they'll stop doing that.
- johnisgood 2y agoIndians are definitely are issue, but so are the influx of people from Africa. It is worth looking at videos of these cities and how much they have changed over the course of years because of immigration. The city is trashed, quite literally. Trash everywhere you go.
