Points-based immigration system [Split topic]

Self-hatred and the uninformed/uniform belief that your home is absolute worst place in the world are long standing features of the Jacobin left. In reality of course, it's all projection: they just don't like who they are and where they are in life.

'I don't like seeing homeless people sleeping in the gutter, this country has more than enough wealth to make sure that this doesn't happen'
'TRAITOR!'

So what are you doing about it?

Voting for hippies and communists and distrusting the media, obviously. Millionaires don't buy up newspapers and TV companies because they love the truth.

'The Jacobin left', lol. Where does he get this shit?

Whereas posts like these scream 'happy well-rounded individual'.

[Johnny Yesno]

It's hilarious that he interprets the hatred of fellow countrymen like him as self-hatred.

Now Jacobite left I'd accept

[Sebastian Cobb]

I was jacobin earlier, 3 with cheese and pickle/jalepenos and two sets of two just buttered and sandwiched together.

[Ferris]

To be fair, I have a subscription to Jacobin. I thought it was quite niche, is it really pervasive enough in the UK to be an insult?

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

I was referring to the The Jacobin Club - though the Jacobin magazine is probably named after them which is slightly, er, worrying.

[Johnny Yesno]

This is funnier than when you lot thought the Labour membership was made up of half a million Trots.

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

That was Peter Hitchens dear.

[Johnny Yesno]

That was Peter Hitchens dear.

That's right. You lot.

[bgmnts]

Peter Hitchens is your dad and bums you.

Are you this pompous in real life?

[jamiefairlie]

Are you this pompous in real life?

Mr. Hutchinson : Indeed I am. Yes, now, is it possible for me to reserve the BBC2 channel for the duration of this televisual feast?

Basil Fawlty : Why don't you talk properly?

[Paul Calf]

Oh, god. He's not a bulletin board inspector is he?

[Johnny Yesno]

Only if 'bulletin board' is a euphemism for own arsehole.

Oh right, I only know the magazine for North American democratic socialists. I don't want to join any clubs (unless it's the beano club because they have the best badges) ok cheers

[chveik]

so much for the tolerant left, over and over and over and over again

[chveik]

edit fuck it

Point of information! The politics magazine's name and logo are based on Toussaint Louverture and the "Black Jacobin" slave uprising in Haiti.

lol. That's the second time recently that SWP has made an absolute tit of himself after making some statement that was 'probably' true.

I laughed.

I concur. My tempest-haired Gnasher badge still holds pride of place in a drawer, somewhere, in a very dark region of my parent's loft.

So, to apply the same logic to something equally egregious: I called my magazine 'Nazis', not after Hitler's Nazi Party, but the steel-capped boot wearing neo-nazis of the late 1980s. Therefore my magazine has nothing to do with the Third Reich.

Erm, yeah.

Anyhow, I think being able to speak Welsh should be as good as English. Plus, who the fuck is going to tell? Most British people can't tell the difference between a Welsh and an Indian accent, so anyone from the subcontinent should be in. Racists.

This is a decent article about the new points based system with a reminder about how it will affect all working class jobs whoever's doing them: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/feb/24/immigrants-britain-conservative-priti-patel-sajid-javid

The new immigration rules will not only hurt the country economically – they give a glimpse into a new world that is taking shape, one where non-elite jobs are stripped of all honour, virtue and value. Where the government's disdain for the working class becomes apparent in its contempt for the kind of postcolonial labour that built and rebuilt this country, and its disinterest in the prospects of the "indigenous" workers who are now expected to tool up and fill the gap. Where the sons and daughters of those who would now score zero points on an immigration application enjoy a success that has many fathers, but not their own.
