Your core idea is to spread sunlight and rainbow stats and 'narratives' (we can all use that word) to some genuine, average people who may be concerned, worried, yes perhaps misinformed and manipulated.
Why are you sarcastically taking the piss out of me using the word narrative? You suggest people are disingenuous, gaslighting or not posting in good faith all the time, yet you make these strange little snide comments quite often, practice what you preach perhaps?
Anyway, stats are facts, what is wrong with presenting facts? The right don't care for them too much, the riots that they inflamed a few months ago were borne out of untruths about the Southport killer.
It's not my "core idea" it's merely trying to address the narrative that immigration is so awful for this country, and that narrative has been pushed hard and far by the likes of Reform, Paul Golding and Tommy Robinson for quite some time now, with so little kickback!
The Tories and now Labour have been happy with Immigration year on year to aid the economy, but they don't dare say that publicly, why? If they did, perhaps we'd be in a much better state. They are happy enough to tell us that taxing rich people is bad for the economy.
Likewise this idea that austerity was a "good" thing for the economy and the people, Labour did nothing to argue that it wasn't, just sat there and voted with it or abstained, sickening. Where was the counter argument? Where was the actual opposition?
That is entirely out of touch; as an MP why would you go and tell an old lady, and ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS, whose area in the latter part of her lifetime has changed massively; the faces, the voices, the behaviours, that it's all good for her really, when she's telling you it isn't and she's scared and worried?
Why is an elderly constituent scared of voices, faces and behaviours? Have you thought about that?
Is it because of the narrative she has been presented with for decades?
A child doesn't come out of the womb feeling scared of a black voice, a brown face or a different voice to their parents, people become that way because of what they are presented with, and the total lack of argument against that kind of language, mindset and narrative is exactly why we find ourselves in a country that is more and more racist every day. We've enabled it, terms like "woke" to describe someone who flinches at racist or sexist terms add to this day by day.
You listen first; maybe there's a grain of truth there, an opportunity to improve integration, empathise and help her, then if any 'education' is needed, it can come afterwards, and naturally.
Of course you do, and it's from listening to my friends with views about immigrants that i deeply disagree with, that i have learned how little they have been presented with how good immigration is for society, for our culture, for the economy, how they think that minorities are far more representative of the UK population than they are, or how they are simultaneously taking our jobs AND benefit scroungers.
How they don't see the hypocrisy of people emigrating to Spain and living in areas that are purely British and not bothering to learn the language is no different to areas of Birmingham or Coventry, or Leicester here.
How they don't understand the difference between an asylum seeker, an immigrant or an illegal immigrant. Why has that happened? They're not stupid people? They just haven't been presented with the facts in a way that is as easily digestible to them as it is if it's presented by Farage or any other right winger that speaks passionately and confidently.
That's real life and actual engagement with people. You're tarting it up but what your alternative is is to tell her to suck it up as in fact immigration is a good thing, and if she doesn't agree she's an uneducated racist
So in this hypothetical situation you have decided what i have concluded on someone hypothetically?
Ironically you regularly call me hard left, or uneducated/stupid, an anti semite, a cunt etc, you are exactly what you accuse me of being.
