Steve, the mass grooming of young European English girls in Rotherham by older Pakistani Muslim men should have signaled to those in the drivers seat the extent of the problem of migration. Instead they have buried it and chosen to attack the likes of Tommy Robinson for speaking out against the obvious negative aspects of the mass un-checked influx of migrants into the UK over many years.
Yes, and Rotherham isn't just an isolated town especially in the North of the Country where many hsve settled as well as London, where this has and is still happening, and not just by older men, because of something an ex work colleague said and what I saw with my own eyes, when visiting friends in Woking, it was happening there too, to a certain extent mostly targeting vulnerable young Polish and other Eastern European girls.But as elsewhere being brushed under the carpet for the sake of "social cohesion ".
There is an amazing pattern in America of re-electing the incumbents no matter how disastrous they have governed. Maybe it is access to money for campaigns, but it is almost impossible to unseat an incumbent member of Congress. The residents of US cities that have been in decline and ruin for decades re-elect the same politicians year after year.
As you like to say, you get what you vote for, it's up to the people to wake up, but they won't, popularity rules over policy in this country.
We've gotten too used to expecting the federal government, and the state governments, to do for us. The turning point was the Great Depression. Prior to that time, there were depressions, but they were brief and we bounced back, generally.
It's hard to explain. If you live in poverty and crime ridden communities, would you vote for the same politicians year after year for decades? I'm not sure it is stupidity. There is some type of system in place that ensures that the incumbents get elected. They control the money. They control the process. They distribute money and influence to community leaders who ensure their constituents turn out. And the beat goes on and on forever.
The only better gig than being a politician is being a football coach. Everyone fails upward. Good to see the NCAA punishing Harblow after he has left for the NFL. I'm sure he is crying salty tears that he can't coach college football this upcoming season. The sign stealing investigation is taking longer to resolve than the Lindbergh kidnapping even though Michigan was caught red handed. I'm not a fan of the NCAA vacating wins for violations that occur off the field, but that is an instance where the violation directly affected outcomes of games.
Politicians on both sides count on that stupidity to stay in power while reinforcing it all by dividing us.
There's no denying the whole thing is bizarre....
They not only did not put anyone on the building, but they apparently never considered the possibility that they might need to get up there. So the Secret Service with its $3 billion budget didn't have a ladder and the police couldn't figure out how to do it even with days to prepare. Imagine being given the responsibility for that building and not a single law enforcement person said to themselves "how can we get on top of the building if there is a problem." Instead they are inside the building and can't figure it out while the shooter is preparing to open fire. The secret service bears primary responsibility but the local law enforcement on the scene were a joke. They took no initiative and had ample opportunity to keep this from happening.
It's back to the early 90's for me as a Patriots fan when they were a complete laughing stock.
But George, flags fly forever……
Yes they do, but it's pretty disappointing to have two ownership groups in this city who care more about the bottom line than they do winning.
